Those with backup cameras

[tann808]

I'm currently using a Boyo VTL375 License Plate Camera along with a Boyo VTG43 Rear View Mirror with 4.3" Touch Panel LCD with Nav / Bluetooth

now thats cool in the mirror. I would like to have one in the mirror, like the new gm's do i think..

Anyone got a link to the led camera itself?

I tried this install a couple years ago, but had crappy parts so it never worked. I've had a little monitor in my dash ever since that I'd like to see actually work.

this is the one that i bought.

but i don't think it will hook up to those monitors that came with those other backup cameras that people were buying for $30 a year or so ago. the same seller does offer a new 3.5" lcd monitor that would work.

Does anyone with a 99-02 Truck have any information on tapping into the reverse sense wire under the dash????

I've searched and found that its supposed to be a light green wire @ the BCM. I've tested every light green wire and couldn't find it. Any self installers here that have found the wire under the dash?

i tapped mine in the drivers window pillar. its super easy to find and test

It should be one of the smaller plugs, either far right or far left (of the bigger harnesses)on the BCM. Sorry, forgot which side.

Did you run your reverse wire all the way to the head unit, or splice into the wire on the factory harness to the baack up bulb on the tail light?

Obviously I'm not ILLEGAL REGAL but I did mine to the reverse tail light so When I put it in reverse it get power signal and kicks on radio screen.

If you don't wanna go on a hunt for a lite green wire then your best bet would be to tap into the reverse light wire at the taillight and run it all the way to the front. You have to run the rca so might as well run the reverse too no?

 

[YukonXL04]

Also you have to find the reverse wire under the dash anyways for the headunit to signal "reverse" so you might as well power it from there. I wired mine to the acc power so it always has power. Mainly for backing up to trailers and such. Sometime you backup too far and have you pull up, if the camera turns off how do you know when you have pulled up enough lol. Just makes it easier when your by yourself

Yep. I wired mine to the reverse lights and also to a switch on the dash that is fed 12V constant. That way it comes on in reverse like normal and if I need it on at other times, I just flip the switch to bypass the reverse light circuit.

This is how I'm going to set mine up this weekend. The RCA cable has an integrated power cable, so I'm going to power the whole system from a switch. Mainly, so I can power it up when towing to see who the douchecanoe is that's following too close. And to help me back up, of course.
