Install a Rear View Reverse Backup Camera for only $30!

[@oneandonlyTan]

Right this is actually a well explained video. I’ve been on a few of these now and the comments are full of bots praising the videos when they’re not good. This is getting saved so I can use it later

[@DoItYourselfDad]

Thank you!

[@thebro5540]

Omg man. I have been trying to do this on my '03 Tahoe but could not find a decent video. Thank god you have the same car.

[@JoshFlowers1]

About to install one on my Sport Trac -- and this video is a tremendous help. Thank you for your clarity in speech, video editing, and steps. Really makes me much more comfortable tackling this.

[@gazzz49]

I’ve been trying to figure out how to power the monitor easily. Perfect 👌 👍

[@jerroddouglas6084]

I threw my truck in reverse to test the connection before plugging it up like you said and the truck backed into my pond. Thanks.

[@SR1Records]

You should have been looking at the monitor then, shouldn't you 🙄 (lol).

Did it work in the pond?? 😂

[@dougb9680]

i have watched other videos on this install and i couldn't understand what they were talking about, but you made it simple to understand. THANKS!!

[@19Blackskills97]

Yeah right!!!

[@hassanrammal1189]

Honestly this really helped

[@DG4String]

I just ordered the cam kit and your video will certainly assist me during the installation. Thanks!

[@rozettepeckham1157]

Mind blown! Those wire caps and fuse thing are amazing!

[@sonnymoon6465]

well, I am a total beginner at auto electric and proved that trying to hook this one up on my own w/o youtube. Thanks dad ! I'll test that thing with some more wire now that it's hooked up and see how to put the right colors on the right terminals hopefully and hopefully did not ruin the cam or monitor already ! Super helpful so thanks !

How to check screen direct before inst

[@HaulinLS1]

Got one of these! Can’t wait to hook it up on my 2004 Silverado! Hoping it really helps with backing up to my camper

[@HeroofSomething]

I know it's been 10 months but I'm hoping you're still around and can tell me if those splicers you've used are still holding up. Your video is honestly one of the best and easiest but that'll depend if the blue things have held up.

[@teejay622]

This video is well done and very helpful. My only issue is with the clamp on splicers. Those things should be outlawed. lol They ALWAYS allow moisture to enter, creating corrosion and resistance. And they almost always cut one or more strands of the parent wire I've seen those clips cause the parent wire to break in half because of the corrosion they cause. It's far better to cut the wire and either solder or use a wire twist nut filled with dielectric grease. Not hatin on this video. As I said, it's well done and very informative - even after 3 years. I just cringe when I see those clips being used.

[@JCaddy007]

First time I used it was a joke

[@cirosinagra7829]

the video was very helpful, but it would be helpful to ( emphasize that the power wire to the backup light is the black/red stripe wire not the red wire as many people may think) You did mention it after watching the video a few times I picked up on it and switched the wires and it worked perfectly.Thanks!

[@G00DZ1]

I've watched too many videos not seeming to wiring up the camera. I was using the power wire. positive from reverse light and grounding the neg and wasn't getting power i bought splicers and all late late night still not getting any picture I wake up i see this. I notice u slpiced positive n negative to reverse so I went n did that and boom picture thank you so much and im deff subbing all the DIY DAD INFO IN APRECIATED

[@DoItYourselfDad]

FANTASTIC! Glad you got it working!!!!

[@MadsWorld34]

I just got one of these just to find out my stereo has a place for the cam built into it so I never did use the display screen. but it was easy to hook up

[@balduberdriver]

very nice , well done and not like others tearing down cables to solder. Keep up the good work.

[@Notthatdude]

ive bought 12 of these i saw ur vid and got excited hahahha

[@frankarmand3378]

😳 pink pliers? Whaaaaaat Video is awesome! 😎

[@DoItYourselfDad]

Stolen from my daughters pink tool set.... her tools are WAY more organized.

[@mackcroyle4865]

Thanks for the video, one more subscriber. Just bought the same exact kit, different box, and you were the first video to pop up.

[@dougturnbow7575]

I bought all the recommended parts and installed it successfully. Thanks for the video. However, the quick splices did not work the first time on either the ground or power connections. They made connection on the backup light side but not on the camera power harness side, so I ended up soldering a segment of thicker gauge wire onto the leads of the camera power harness wires. Then the quick splices made a good connection. I don't know if the splices are marginal or the gauge of the camera power wires got smaller or whatever, but I had 0% success using them on the power wires that come with the camera kit.

[@fxrmike5145]

Love the pink pliers

[@robertohernandez1642]

Thanks really digged the pin out splice. OMW to homedepot.

[@mydyisgod]

Can’t wait to install mine, just as you showed to do it. And I ordered from your Amazon store. Thx so much

[@DoItYourselfDad]

Awesome! Thanks! Let us know how the install goes!

[@spiderman01980]

I never knew about the added circuit fuse. I normally have directly to the battery with a switch so i can switch on and off when I want or piggy back it onto the cigarette lighter, I have mine in a van so it's on all the time so that it works as a rear view mirror and has a nice wide angle that gives me a better view when switching lanes on a motorway.

[@missculinary]

For a beginner (me) how would you connect direct to battery with a van. I dont think my wires reach all the way up there. Any suggestions ?

[@spiderman01980]

@@missculinary vans I've driven had the battery under the drivers seat so easily accessible, and easy to run the wire under the carpet to the dash. Whe the battery is under the hood it's a little bit difficult to run the wire through, that's when I find it easier to splice into the cigarette lighter. Or you can splice it into the wire that powers the stereo.

[@missculinary]

@@spiderman01980 Nice imma try the stereo . Thanks

[@namenotshown9277]

so many comments! the screen will have power all the time, would it not be better to put the screen via the reverse light fuse? How many amp fuse for the camera? it woiuldn't be much

[@gk4501]

Wow FINALLY that someone explains how to wire a reverse camera the right way even though u used pink pliers thank you

[@soulclean1983]

One question: Instead of using add a circuit, can't we just add another quick splice onto the reverse light and use that as a power source for the display screen front? so two quick splice and use it power backup camera and display screen?

[@rosavasquez2807]

Did you ever try this? I'm about to install a camera on my car and had that same question?

[@jdsingh1670]

Wow easier than i thought. Thank you

[@dhflannagan1]

How did you get the camera wire from the outside to the inside cab? I got everything but that. Thanks for the video.

[@DoItYourselfDad]

I went through the grommet that the e-brake cable runs through.

[@jimcole2648]

Good video. Worth the watch if need to install one.

[@drunkenbusdriver]

This is a great video, but it should be known, if you have a sedan with the fusebox mounted flush to the door, you wont be able to close the fuse panel to the add-a-circuit. So either direct wire under a circuit or better, find another place to mound it.

[@Danju74]

Good video. Tanx.

Thanks you made it sound really straight forward...

You missed a lot of important steps but thanks for what you did show

[@MrGamelover23]

You wanna clarify?

[@efrainm1986]

It is an okay camera. However, water gets into the camera. So, should have paid for more expensive one with a warranty option from Amazon. Now, I have to remove this one and buy another one after 6 months. However, I was able to get it to work so, the video was very helpful.

[@wrdmndan]

on dc isn't red usually pos. and blk neg ....great video ...very informative.... thanx

[@DoItYourselfDad]

Yes and no, it's going to vary by vehicle. Each wire is color coded depending on where it's going. If you aren't sure which is which in your vehicle it's best to look up a wiring diagram to make sure.

[@1SnuffySmith]

Yes it usually is. Always best to check with a meter to be sure. You're going to need a meter anyway to check and recheck your connections.

[@ccarazay]

@0:39, the wire on the bottom right, (the VGA I think), where do you plug the red wires that’s dangling from it? Thanks

This particular system you installed, can the monitor be removed from the dash board when you are parked for the day for security reasons? Don't want it to be tempting to thief's in the area.....lol Thanks for your time!!!

I haven't had any water get in yet, though I live in the dessert so we don't get a lot of rain. It has been through the car wash several times without issue. I suppose it couldn't hurt though.

I noticed a red wire coming off the wire going from front to back, I believe it is the video cable. Question is what did you do with the red wire coming off both ends? Did you connect them to ground or to something else?

[@DoItYourselfDad]

That’s the power wire, if you don’t tap the reverse light you can run it to the fuse box.
