I just want to say a big thank you. I installed my camera today and it was a success thanks to your video.

[@RaymondUrias]

Happy to help! Now you can actually see out the back of the batmobile!

[@julio97402]

Yes!! although I might have to invest in a nicer camera. There are so many options online, and to think local stereo stores wanted to charge me 400+ for install alone.

[@RaymondUrias]

$400 what the $HIT. I actually have been researching for a better camera and believe I have found one but I want to test it before recommending it. Once it passes a few more test I will drop a video about it.

[@julio97402]

400$ was the lowest too!! Keep me updated on the camera. At this point it should be very easy just to swap the camera. The hardest part for me shaving down the wires.

Added the backup camera to my Mercedes today with no hiccups ... it turned out great thanks to you & your videos! Thank you very much!!!

[@trucvo6913]

Thanks for such a great DIY install video Raymond! Just got done with installing the backup camera following your instructions and it works! Mine's a 2008 C350. The main difference I saw was for the Rearview Camera setting, My only selectable options were "Installed" and "Not Installed". I didn't have the option to select SRVC, but it worked just fine.

[@ovidionieves855]

I know this vid is old but I wanted to comment on it cause it save my life! This vid is the only one I found those 2 hidden screws near the latch. It went smooth after that. Thanx again👍

[@robertjohn2249]

What screws did you use? The 10mm earth bolts?

[@douglogan1449]

Great tutorial. I did this last weekend and no major problem. Getting the radio out and back in was tricky.

[@craigjones9016]

Thanks! Old video but still relevant. When I had the radio out I found a spot where I could snake a bit of stiff hose through the passenger dash to where the end trim comes off by the door. Saved me having to remove the piece under the bottom of the dash.

[@pradeepbuddaraju9153]

That’s awesome! Thanks, without you there is no way I could have set it up myself!!

[@patriciawhite5381]

Thank you! Installed a backup camera in a 2008 Mercedes c350 sport using your video. Works perfectly.

[@Ale-my4dv]

Hi can you share pics and which camera did you installed?

[@epicwafflemadness]

old video, but when you called the Hash symbol a "pound sign" as a Brit it hit me rite in the feels lol

[@deedubb1311]

I just installed the same camera and it went smoothly. Big Thanks

[@tinalebanidze9374]

where does the red wire attach to the video plug goes?

[@deedubb1311]

@@tinalebanidze9374 to your reverse light wire

[@ok9275]

Thank you for the video!! We initially had a black screen after setting everything up. We checked the fuses and plugged everything back in and got it working! But we plugged the power into #69 accidentally instead of #71. Somehow that worked out for us b/c in #71 we got the black screen. Little weird but hey, it's working so I wanted to thank you for making this video. We would not have attempted it w/o you making this. Afterwards, I just purchased an extra 15A fuse and plugged it back into #71 lol.

[@MustafaKapasi1]

Just wanted to say thanks. I successfully installed my camera myself thanks to this video

[@RaymondUrias]

Awesome man!!! Thanks

[@hollywoodsse]

Great explanation in the video. I installed my camera with no problems. Unfortunately I hate the camera. It points directly at the ground behind the car. Can't see more than 3ft behind me.

[@gtpsuprchrgd03]

Great Video. I really wish you had more details for the wire hook ups in the back of the unit. I am going to attempt to do this on my c63 next week. Thanks again!

[@RaymondUrias]

Paul Ghz thanks for the insight. You are right, when you pull the radio you will see the port. If the power cable is in the way you can GENTLY bend it with pliers, just enough for you to hook in....but that's a rare situation. You will be fine, take your time make :)

[@julio97402]

Hey, did you ever install your backup camera? If not, can you make a video of the installation of the back of the head unit?

[@gtpsuprchrgd03]

J.L I have not done it yet. I will make a video and post it when I do. I'll keep you posted.

[@RaymondUrias]

It's one wire that can only go in 1 spot as shown at 19:08 I don't understand what more do you need to see. The adapter will only there.

Green fakra originally installed goes to the UCI socket in glove compartment. Using adapter UCI - USB you can watch movies from pendrive. I did the same - disconnected original green fakra and connected camera green fakra. View comes up on the screen... but there is another problem.. when engine is started camera view after about 1min disappears... someone knows why it so happens? Is that due to Video In Motion lock?

[@shark70007000]

I wonder if my 2008 clk350 would take a camera? Great video! Thank you.

+iCustodian awesome! Happy to hear

[@mustafayolcu9505]

Nice vid. Any suggestions for people with the smaller screen. Have a 2010 and it has the smaller screen that doesnt pop up. Wondering if i would be able to hookup a backup camera to it?? Or would i be able to remove this small screen and install the oem popup screen thats in this video?

[@alfaoktaviano]

Hi mate, do you have any answer regarding the popup screen? Have same problem with my w204 pre facelift

[@ashengineer]

Thank you. My 2008 C300 has a backup camera at last.

Thanks for the video mate, all done on my Merc, just a small problem: My camera is PAL, how do you change the system from NTSC to PAL ?

[@RaymondUrias]

+investco Thanks man "Viva Pura"

[@ahmara9875]

Hi, thanks for the complete setup however the part where you are connecting the camera wire to the unit is not shown. How do we connect the camera wire (yellow jack) to the command module?

[@gordon-1]

Hello again, Raymond. Before attempting to install a backup camera on my 2014 C250 Sport, I read several on-line articles, some insisting that the vehicle has to have a Command unit (like yours), others stating that if the radio has navi, it also was capable of connection. After running the wire from the rear fuse box (but thankfully not the rest of the way to the license plate light), I tried to tackle the front end connection. On my unit there was no spare input. MB has had so many permutations of the dashboard equipment that perhaps some radios with navi have this capability, but mine does not. My suggestion to others who may be considering this installation is to check the back of their units prior to purchasing the camera.

[@RaymondUrias]

gordon I agree with you 100%. The port is not a spare connection. It is occupied by another cable. Did you see if the cable is there like this kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3O5c6KVipljeLc If that is the case, that sucks and I'm sorry to hear that. You could swap out the command unit www.ebay.com/itm/222450367496 you may need the screen too.

[@gordon-1]

Raymond, I see by your videos that you are truly an (to use a way overused but accurate term) awesome person. To put this in simple terms (for my benefit only), as I recall, there were only two connections at the back of the head neither of which was green. Thanks for the links. I compared the the command unit link with another on eBay with basically the same description: www.ebay.com/itm/162432844094 Look at the connections, a completely different arrangement. That is what I am talking about with MB's multiple permutations. Your comment on the screen also concerns me. My display is fixed (not popup like yours) and again as I recall, only has the two cable connections. See the attached MB video for the entire appearance of my dash if you wish (note that I had to post a correction from yet another site to MB's video): kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnWzhJaLlrSjaKs Also my backup camera had a power relay operated by the backup light circuit. From the relay, the reverse wire was supposed continue on to the command unit, but the instructions did not indicate where to connect.

[@RaymondUrias]

Interesting, I am familiar with the different command units but based on my research about 73% 2014 Gen 1 C class have the cable. It was a way for dealers to quickly up charge new cars with $1200 Package upgrade. BUT I understand your frustration....It sucks, just like not getting that bike i wanted for Christmas... I have listened to your comments and revised the description and changed the title to remove the 2014 off the list completely to prevent this heart breaking moment from occurring again. Also please send me a private message (Totally not weird....) its some questions about your car. Instructions bellow: support.google.com/youtube/answer/57955?hl=en

[@RaymondUrias]

and here is a PDF with the instructions manualzz.com/doc/7389016/2012---up-c-class--w204----crux-interfacing-solutions

[@gordon-1]

Yes it does, my head is as pictured and I just ordered the interface. You never cease to amaze me. How in the world did you find this? At the very least I apparently need this device so that I can connect the reverse light signal wire. Ironic that I am having to buy a $360 interface to operate a $35 camera! Thanks so much for your help, Raymond!!

[@ottob6439]

When I unplug the green cable the sound from the radio get lower and distorted. Also the new fakra is to long to fit. It hits the silver plug next to it

[@morphix9]

You made it look easy 🐥

[@benjaminaboagye9807]

Your car interior is just like mine. Can you recommend a site where I could get accessories for mine? Like head rests, window control buttons, back ventilation cover,camera, android infotainment, etc

[@robertjohn2249]

I did everything exactly and my camera won't turn on. I don't have srvc in engineering mode either. The camera supports both pal and NTSC. I don't understand what ive done wrong

[@andyITA]

you are amazing. thank you so much. I wanted to ask you: I have an E class 2013 (W212 E200). Is it possible to install a camera like this on my model ?thank you !

[@Nektopoulo]

Wondering about the existing MB wiring (like how they hid the AUX input behind the passenger kick panel...

[@bonbajapanty]

Hey would love if you can help. My 2008 c300 does not turn on my reverse camera screen. I think it may need a software update. But any dealer Cole has no idea what I'm talking about

[@faraband]

Thanks for this. I did this and every few days I need to jump start my car. Is this because of the fuse used to provide constant power to the camera? Is there another way to wire the power? Thanks.

[@hassannariman]

Hi, I liked your video very nicely explained. Have a question my car c220 2013 originally doesn’t have folding mirrors will you help me and others how to instal and program? Please! Thanks for the help.

[@gordon-1]

Hello Raymond! Here is yet another reason why the installation of a backup camera on a 2014 MB C250 (W204) is more of a "challenge". The license plate light on this model is an encapsulated LED, not incandescent with a removable bulb. I am not quite sure how to handle this, but I was thinking of cutting the lens off of the original with a Dremel cutting wheel and gluing the LED portion to the camera mount lens, but the unit is sealed and that may not work. I might have to purchase an incandescent bulb holder. :-/

[@RaymondUrias]

gordon Jesus that car is a challenge...but challenge accepted Check out my video for best Camera under $30. The Radar one out preformed the factory original. It maybe worth considering.

[@brandonyen1245]

Hey Raymond could you start a project of installing back up camera on 2012 c classes and up ? I had a 2012 c300 4matic and I can't seem to add anything on my car because the command unit don't have options to add stuffs like GPS , back up camera after I look at the back of it. Thanks

[@RaymondUrias]

+Brandon Yen I would love to but there aren't any 2012's by me. But you can definitely do it, in the description I put a link for the necessary parts for 2012. It's plug and play but it's expensive 😞

[@Nektopoulo]

The current link to the "RF design RF Pigtail Cable" is out of stock and you link to another one.

[@Nektopoulo]

Just ordered the camera 2 days ago and the camera I revived had the cables routed correctly and the plastic was already cut to get the cable into the trunk..

[@mwi90]

Hey. Great video. I really want to do something like this. Question how did you tap the fuse to get camera please explain Thank you

Hello. I have a w204 c220cdi from 2007 and i only have in menu rear camera - installed and not installed. How can update the firmware? Any Information to make the camera work?

[@machongtalong1210]

A 2012 C300 uses led chip boards for the license plate lights instead of bulbs. Gain a backup camera, lose one light. Is there a way around this issue, or is changing the lighting setup the only way?

[@sinner4001]

Hey Raymond. These videos are amazing. I have a 2012 C350 and would you please be able to direct me on which plug-in adapter to use. Also if you have a video that covers removing the dash on that type of car. Thanks.

[@RaymondUrias]

+Varun Chauhan The removal of yours is done like this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYWThqtrlpKAatE As for the adapter it's in the description section. Make sure your radio has navigation or it won't work. If you don't have Nav you will need to buy an adapter from Midcityenginnering.com

[@sinner4001]

Thanks. My car has navigation, comand and it also has the option for rearview camera in the engineering menu. I was hoping I could just use the Farka cable converter and avoid purchasing the $400 bulky Crux module.

[@bradynrobertson9734]

Varun Chauhan how did you access the engineering menu? I have a 2012 c250 with command and nav. I understand I need the farka pigtail to connect the camera, yet I cannot get to the engineering menu. I see your comment is over a year ago. Did your project turn out as you expected?

[@xx.1.]

I have a w204 2011 coupe. I have factory LED number plate lights. So my fitting for reverse camera would not fit as i do not have a halogen bulb like yours.... what do i do?

[@caraudiosolutions]

That's a longer job best to get the other type of camera that you mount on the number plate light holder. I've done it several times Also you don't need a male amd female fakra just a male connection.

[@soninded3106]

Tank yo so much Raymond for your video. I was follow successfully every step up to connecting video cable to the radio. But here was surprise: there was no green cable and back of my radio does not look like in your video. Is any way I can send you a photo and you will let me know where to connect Fakra cable, if possible. My car is Mercedes Benz C300 Year 2008

[@TommyTheHeist]

I sometimes get an error saying that my left license plate light is off, lets say if I install my camera into that slot, what about that light and warning message? Wouldnt it keep appearing on my dash that my light is out all the time? :/

[@kevinjeong4958]

Thanks for the awesome video!! How do you route the cable behind the radio? When you take off the panel from the footwell of the front passenger seat, does it open up to behind the radio for you to route the cable to? Just wondering cause I'm about to do this retrofit this weekend and your video jumped from behind the radio to putting everything back in place.

[@RaymondUrias]

*Thank you!!! I pushed the wire up the panel near the radio. With the ac vents and radio out I reached down and grabed the wire and pulled in what I needed and left the rest behind the footwell.

If you're getting the black screen this could be a good thing try a different backup camera and see if it comes on and also go through the settings and make sure you have the settings properly enabled on the head unit it could just be a minor detail like this and your camera will work. worst case scenario unfortunately you will have to go to the dealership unless you have $1,000 Mercedes-Benz star diagnostic tool lying around and the updated firmware

[@RaymondUrias]

k2crasher You can only use one plug. Do not plug the factory cable back in leave it unplugged. The reason I got the double ended plug was some w204 had a female port in the radio and I did not want to take the chance of taking all apart just to find out I didn't have the correct wire lol.

[@zohaibfarooq3917]

Hi, I hope this isn't an obvious question. if you use the number plate light location, does that mean you lose one of the two lights if you place the camera in its place. Or does the bulb for the number plate light still sit behind/along side the camera?

[@RaymondUrias]

Zohaib Farooq Good question, the camera has a clear housing that the bulb goes into so your 2 lights still function like factory. just make sure you drill out the hole so you can get the wire into the trunk.

Hi Raymond, I saw in this video you say used power source for backup camera from the car fuse box as fuse #71 and 15Amp,Now on other video from you for the camera you called upgrade , the camera with radar built in , I saw you did not connected to the fuse box any more , you did connected to backup light to get the power source, with the capacitor for filter the noise . But the confused for me is and I think many user here try to install backup camera is DON'T know with one is correct one ? Fuse box for power camera all the time OR tap in to backup light on the car to get power for camera only when we backup the car . Please explain. I guess many user want to know too . Thank you for your time

[@RaymondUrias]

+Minh Nguyen There is more then one way to connect a backup camera to a car. I illustrated this over my other videos. I also explained why. Radar/ Sonar gets hot if plugged in and may damage the camera if it's on all the time LEDs are the same. If they don't have a photo sensor they can damage the unit or you can be driving down the road with the LEDs on all the time. Which may result in a ticket. CCD cameras, which don't have IR or other gimicks can be wired to be on full time. "There is more then one way to skin a cat"

Thanks for the video. Besides, im just wondering if i could use this video as a benchmark to install backup camera for glk350 2010 . As a fact, i couldnt find any video or instruction to install camera for this model and this navigation system and other things look pretty same. Can you please help me.

[@rylanrandolph386]

I am also looking for options for my 2010 GLK 350, have you found a solution yet?

[@drgreenedc]

I attached my camera power to the reverse light and it works intermittently. I did look through the comments and found that maybe I need a capacitor or a relay, if so is there a certain type? If I hook right into a fuse could this also solve my problem?

[@RaymondUrias]

In the video I explained that it needs to go to fuse 71. You can't power it from the reverse light since the Sam system has pulse power. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3-6f3R5bNCBi6M

[@Mezzamike]

Can you tell me if this can be done on a similar 2014 c300 luxury sedan? It has the Becker Map Pilot and the screen that is set into the dash. I can’t see why it wouldn’t but I cannot find anything on the internet about it. Thanks so much!

[@RaymondUrias]

+Michael Trosan These steps won't apply for your car. But I can be done. You need to purchase a video interface: naviks.com/c-1136682-rearview-camera-interface.html I am currently working with another subscriber and his car. The video will be going up on his channel. Feel free to message him kzbin.info

[@julio97402]

Hey man can you make a video of how to hook up the wires on the back of the Head Unit? Please!!!! I think I'm understanding everything except for that part.

[@RaymondUrias]

J.L it's just one wire at 19:08 the car had the port occupied so I unplugged it and plugged the new cable in. There is no where else the wire can plug into

[@RaymondUrias]

J.L maybe this helps: mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w204/291189-all-parts-needed-comand-mm-retrofit.html#PhotoSwipe1481600352668

[@RaymondUrias]

J.L Sorry man Google flagged the comment due to privacy concern. I think I read most of it, The Green cable is the one. In my situation the massive video out was on the cable so I GENTLY, VERY SLOWLY bent it back a little with needle nose pliers just enough to unplug the cable and add plug in the new cable. feel free to message me on here, I get the notifications pretty quick.

[@julio97402]

thanks, I think I have a better understanding now. So the fakra cable you linked isn't available for prime but I did find this other fakra cable. Will this one work as-well? www.amazon.com/RF-design-Pigtail-Female-Connector/dp/B01MZWXK6O/ref=sr_1_20?ie=UTF8&qid=1481602701&sr=8-20-spons&keywords=green+fakra&psc=1

[@RaymondUrias]

J.L Yes that cable will work.

[@TurgayTuerk]

Hi Raymond, thank you for the great video. As currently an installed entertainment system is using the green Farka socket, is there a way to have dual installation like entertainment + backup camera? Or propably a Farka cable with two video inputs?

[@RaymondUrias]

Ooo that's the tricky one. I have tried using 2 cables and all you get is a black picture. The screen can't handle 2 live signals going to it. The entertainment system starts sending it's signal as soon as you turn your car on so the backup camera will be constantly fighting it when it goes into reverse.

[@kristofhercoleman5376]

Hey so I just bought one from dmp car design and don’t have that screen Is it ok or will it not work?

[@ashomediy]

Hi Raymond. I just installed my camera on my w204 2011. Sadly it gives me black screen. I live in Cape Town South Africa. Please help...

[@HalfManHalfTech]

I have a Benz w204 and i will be posting projects on it. link to one of the videos when i plasti dipped the car ​@RD-U​

[@roidansutherland]

On some particular W204 models (2008 >), I've noticed they have 2 options on the bottom bar when in Reverse, which look like guidelines for perpendicular and parrallel parking. Could you clarify?

[@RaymondUrias]

+Roidan Sutherland Yea the newer 204's had options for parking sensors which are installed on the front and rear bumper. That option is in the command center as well

[@monche75]

Great video ? Is that a factory stereo or aftermarket

[@user-wt1hh7nx4s]

another question the redline of the camera is very close to the car and the picture not very clear may you help me ?

[@RaymondUrias]

That all depends on what camera you used. The lines are built into the camera you chose

[@user-wt1hh7nx4s]

@@RaymondUrias thank you for the respond .the same camera you have here i bought.

[@koushikgoli9624]

Can I know the price

[@781mm]

Can we use AUTOVOX reverse camera on the lcd panel that you have in your car? is it compatible?

[@miguelc9358]

Confused as you contradict your installation on your 2/22/17 video with this one. Can you delete both and verify where exactly I have to plug in power as my 🙂2013 528i doesn’t function properly when I did either method.

[@RaymondUrias]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3-6f3R5bNCBi6M BMWs tend to prefer the use of capacitors

[@metiiuseini2869]

I want to ask if you install the camera in the back plate only one light works?

[@RaymondUrias]

? You can have no brake lights and it would work. You just need a reverse signal

[@hagengocht3891]

Great video. I have no backup camera in the car I just bought and it’s making me crazy. I have a 2014 w204 C300. Does everything from your video still hold true or should I be looking at something else? Is there a newer better backup camera available? Thanks H Gocht Toronto Canada

[@RaymondUrias]

2014 is completely different look in the video description section, you need a few extra parts. I recommend just Installing an Android screen for that kind of money

[@gordon-1]

Rather than enlarge the hole in the camera housing, I slotted the pertinent piece with a Dremel cutting wheel.

[@RaymondUrias]

gordon brilliant idea!

[@RaymondUrias]

gordon very nice. You made a great decision with that car! and the add a fuse is a great professional touch! Kudos to you.

[@gordon-1]

I am a 75 vehicle-year Porsche owner but my legs do not work well anymore. No more clutches for me (though I still have two Porsches - can't let them go)! :-(

[@RaymondUrias]

gordon Nothing drives like a Porsche. Good car to keep for special occasions! Which model do you have?

[@gordon-1]

Raymond, what is left is a 1996 993 (or 911, 1998 was the last of the air cooled engines - I am a purist) which I have had for 9 years, and a 1987 944S which I have had for 21 years (our SUV for boat towing, home improvement shopping). Previous models were: 1986 Carrera for 21 years, 1983 911SC for 24 years, each one year old when I bought them, and a 1969 911T, bought in 1975, for one year (piston rod blew - cylinder filled with fuel and we unknowingly tried to start it by pushing it with my father's Cadillac :-/). Add to that mix a 1971 Datsun 240Z for four years (stolen), a 1976 Datsun 280Z for 20 years (previous SUV) and a Triumph TR7 for 8.5 years (that last ownership must be a record).

[@wolky1907]

Addicted to your vids thank you. One question, the view angle at 23:19 seems very narrow ( i mean you can see only a few meters away), mine is also like that. Is there an adjustment/setting to make it wider or is it just about the quality of the cam? Thnx

[@RaymondUrias]

You're a hundred percent right it's the camera. They now sell cameras with 190° view angle they are very nice but the picture is somewhat fisheye.
