Ebay reverse camera install write-up

[DenaliAK]

I don't see why it wouldn't work. I don't have anything available to me though to test it out. If you want to send me your screen, I can hook it up to mine just to make sure your wiring isn't all messed up. Just because you're getting power to the screen doesn't mean it's the right power.

True enough. I appreciate the offer, but right now I'm not that concerned about it. $30 toy, didn't work, oh well....lol.

Got bigger projects that need to get done before I play with that again, although I imagine it'll bug me enough after a while that I'll want to take another stab at it.

does anyone have a cubby that they don't want from this project?

I'm not sure what the Denali interior looks like so I'm not sure the same item would fit. You can email the guy selling them and ask him. Just go to the link on ebay for it. I think it's in this thread somewhere.

It is the same but with a cubby hole there. I could make it work as long as the screen is similar to yours. I looked on Ebay(not the link) and could not find anything but I'll click on the link and do some digging!

Just followed the link and did not work.

I want mine back ... it got stolen. Does anyone have any extra?

What kit/eBay did YOU put in?

What fits perfectly in the cubby without hacking my dash? The HOT eBay one. How do I get this? The Shark model off goodeals18? Anyone have this one? This mod is a great idea, just don't want to cut and modify my dash pieces. Thanks for your help!

Sweet, I will check into this more may wire it into my dd headunit.

Are these still available? I would love to have one, I tow trailers often and this would be a lifesaver.

Hey! Great write-up on the reverse camera installation. I have a question for you - I am installing one into a Yukon 1500 and the cutout in the dash trim looks just like yours. What did you do to hold the monitor in place? It looks great in your pics, but I can't tell what you used. Also, both my camera and monitor require power separately - did you run power for both from the rear tail lights, or just the monitor?

Thank you for your help!

As far as holding it in, the same notches that the blanks used to clip in are the same that the monitor uses to clip in. The monitor has the correct flaps around it that click into place. For the power, I tapped into the fuse box for the monitor. I can't remember which one it was. I'll try to look tomorrow. Then I just spliced into the power lead for the light in the back to power the camera.

Who makes the screen? like what brand is it? I really like that fit

 

[DanangMarine68]

Are there any part numbers, manufacturer's numbers, or names on the monitor? What are the dimensions of the monitor as this seems to be the critical part for the dash installation?

I was hoping the OP still had the product info on the thread listed product. Unfortunately posting an e-bay link is time sensitive and if a thread lasts more than a few months those links become useless.

I looked at the web page you provided and it looks like the front surround has a clear cover over it, while dropmech's system pretty much matches the color of the interior and fills the space below the register like it was OEM. Is that a ring of LEDs around the camera aperture? Do they light up every time you go into reverse?

I have a '06 Z71 Tahoe and I don't follow about the on-star button, mine are on the rear view mirror.

The ring of LEDs are just infrared LEDS they have a slight red glow to them at night only when it is turned on. have to be looking at it to notice them. just like ALL infrared cameras that are everywhere nowadays.

the on star button was down below that AC vent but our later models have the tractoin control button there. i moved ours to the glove box, wires were perfect length etc. our monitor fits the hole perfectly. ive installed two now, one on our XL and one on my dads 06 silverado
