The Proper Way To Add A Reverse Camera To Your Audi!

[@JaseCJay]

How does the camera know your in reverse? My understanding is they get power directly from the reverse light.. is it different with Audi?

[@MrWaleedkhalik]

Fantastic job my friend After installing Carplay its not connecting and no audio from KZbin I get audio from navigation only sha I should do please thank you

[@captainsalvage5518]

Thank you this helped me but must’ve have a bad inline fuse because I am getting no signal from the camera.

[@egg979]

This is exactly what i needed to see thank you

[@PropPlanePat]

One year later and this has been super helpful so thanks! You referenced an instruction for removing the A Pillar trim, any chance you can provide a link as I cant find the video and struggling to get mine removed? Many thanks!

[@715planets6]

I may have missed it but most installations show a connection to the reversing light so that the camera becomes live when reverse gear is engaged. In this installation, how will the camera operate just by engaging reverse gear? Have I missed it? Thanks.

[@TheFittingBay]

The unit gives the power needed :) it uses CAN for the signal.

[@theokeijer2513]

@@TheFittingBay Hallo I had installed the rear camera on my Audi A3 Etron 2015 and connected the red wire to de red wire of the extension cable to the CarPlay and Connected the red wire on the CarPlay side to the purple wire ( reverse back detected), but I don’t have picture on my screen? Don’t I need camera power? Of the rear reverse ligth Please advise Thanks Grtz Theo Keijer

[@jokerfleckcast3196]

​@@TheFittingBay what power source cable did you connect at the back of the head unit to power the camera?

[@DiannaaSalazarr]

@@theokeijer2513 I’m having the same problem. Did you ever figure it out ? It worked like 3 times when it was initially installed and then it just didn’t

[@RV-vo7dx]

You must Connect red wire to positive reverse light

[@mortenvinding]

What settings do you do for the reverse camera in the unit ? I wish you would go through that in the video

[@drug2]

How do you trigger the system to switch to rear camera? you used the trigger line to support 12v for the camera....

[@nicklittle626]

Same question. How does the headunit know when car is in reverse

[@gamesforever7891]

hey did u ever figure it out bc i have same issue rightnow when i put into reverse nothing happens people on youtube say its over the can but its not working for me

[@stoevpp]

I have a Q5 2011 with original rear camera, but the resolution is 640 x 480 or 800 x 600 and not apears very well on my new 10" FHD screen. Is there a way to just change the camera with new 1980 x 1080 one camera , without any cables adding?

[@omidzafarian3666]

Perfect job. Do you do for others? Where is your location?

[@KrispyKimch]

Thank you Mr !!! Just installed mines. Youre very helpful

[@pratikchandan]

Thank you for the video! Its incredible detail, love how you walk through all the nuisances. Do you have instructions/directions on how to route the wire for Q5 with sunroof ? Its hard to fish the wire from the roof lining

[@gbasplen]

I had to do it in 3 steps. Run the wire on the passenger side. Remove the 2 square trim pieces along the roof liner (there is a flap hiding a T45 bolt). Then you have access behind the headliner in 2 intermediate spots. Fish the wire from one end to that access point. Then repeat to the next access point. I also loosened the C pillar trim and took one trim rivet out to lower to headliner in the rear. Getting around the grab handle by the front seat is the hardest part.

[@gregoirepapin1115]

Does it Work with a wireless RCA transmitter/receiver kit ?

[@manic2260]

So with my basic 2012 Audi A5 system I should be able to just do almost a plug and play with this? Thank you

[@misdamagoo213]

Lot of 'stuff' to do. But you do it well!

Hi bro I have fitted reverse camera on Audi q3 2014 it works fine but when engine running it goes off. Plz help me out thank u

[@sttm1283]

very well explained and shown.... i like that

[@devsip2277]

Do we need to do programming after installation of camera wires or the system will automatically understand the new device?

[@selfiephotobooth]

Was this a genuine Audi camera or an aftermarket one please? Any recommendation for what’s better please? I’m fitting this and a screen like yours in the next couple of weeks. Thanks

[@readysetjetski3029]

Hi - can you install a reverse camera for an 2013 Audi A4? How much would it cost and where are you located? Thanks

[@-A-M]

is soldering necessary?

[@mureliz]

Hello, What about wiring with manual transmission?

[@TheFittingBay]

Same

[@andrey6b]

How do you wire your reverse camera ? I bought a similar one and I followed the istructions but nothing happens when I engage reverse not even a black screen. Parking sensors are engaging as normal. The cables are a little diffrent from the ones in the picture but still. I believe that I haven't done some setings on the unit maybe?

[@valeriudonscoi134]

Have you managed to do it? I have the same issue with a back camera from AliExpress

[@M2KEntertainment]

Hi Does this part work on Audi q7 2008?

[@TheKraus247]

How do you reinstall the horizontal trim panel at the top of the tailgate (the one you said is tricky to put back in). I’m having trouble with mine

[@momcilolatinovic]

I can’t figure out the last part on how to ground the wire to the bolt 🙈 if you know of any videos that show that part in little more detail would really appreciate that

[@gbasplen]

Split the red/black wires apart. Ground the black wire under one of the 10mm door latch bolts. Be sure to sand off the paint so the wire is touching bare metal

[@Unknowntodayandtomorrow]

Can I use any aftermarket boot handle rear camera to connect to the audi mmi system? My cars a 17 plate 8V. I read somewhere you may need a interface adaptor?

[@neathanyee1086]

does the original mmi 3g support ahd signal or just cvbs?

[@magnuslarsson8326]

Hi, I got a carlinkit decoder 2,0 for a Audi A4 b8 and i will mount a revercing camera to it. I gott the RCA kabel and to wire says 12v out to revercing camera and a second ho says Reverce detected. How could i Connect the camera to de carplay decoder

[@ew569]

Does the same process apply to powered tailgate Q5s?

[@TheFittingBay]

Yep :)

[@Delijooo]

I just installed android 11 HU in my A4 b8 and camera just like that one (ahd). But when i put car in reverse android doesent go to reverse camera, even though mmi goes to parking graphic interface showing parking sensors.

[@DiannaaSalazarr]

Me too. Did you ever figure it out?

[@Channel4TheStrange]

Change camera settings to aftermarket rather than OEM

Hey where’d you get the tongue from

[@Realstyledevon]

Can you show me where I have to ground the black/red cable in the trunk?

[@OneIdeaTooMany]

What's the specs on the camera? You should go into more depth on these install videos if the cameras dont come with detailed instructions. a pillar removal, hiding the wire run from the tailgate to the headliner, running the wire from the a pillar to the head unit and which wire you connected it to. I assume it was the camera +12v wire. Break it into a multipart video if you have to. Itll make it easier for people so they dont have to swap between KZbin videos to do various parts of the installation.

[@makenin]

what year is the car?

[@elyaspatel7002]

Thank you Very Much Nice Vedio 👌

[@egertge85]

I bought a car with this head unit and went to install the backup camera this way. After getting the glovebox off, I discovered they don't have the right wire harness, and that t harness you show in your other video that taps into that red plug isn't plugged in. The harness for the android unit it much larger than the red plug, has a couple more big connectors on it so my car isn't talking to my CAN I don't think. Is there a way to still trigger the reverse camera mode when going into reverse? I tried putting power on the camera det pink wire but it didn't change anything. Was hoping there was a purely aftermarket hookup to power the camera, and provide voltage on a wire to trigger the camera screen like you can on most normal car screen headunits.

[@leonardbrits998]

How does the camera get signal that the car is in reverse?

[@TheFittingBay]

Magic AKA CANBUS.

[@ArmandasKapocius]

You’re amazing❤

[@cw3728]

A lot of work just for a rear camera, it's a shame Audi are such basic cars, for the money they should all come with rear cameras, fold mirrors, heated seats.

[@TheFittingBay]

and self driving would be nice

[@OneIdeaTooMany]

Rear camera and front and rear parking sensors should come standard on all Audi's
