Aftermarket Rear Backup Camera Installation?
Hey everybody,
Just got a Pioneer AVH-4200NEX headunit and an Accele RVCLPMB rear backup camera. This is one of the low profile cameras that attaches onto your license plate. I wanted to install everything this weekend, but I wasn't able to find any guides on installing a camera like this one. Does anyone have a good guide i could use? Would I also need to take out the rear seats to route the wires? |

It comes with adapters and other wiring component for plug/play with aftermarket stereo, supporting camera as well. 1. You'll need to remove the plastic covering inside your trunk near the license plate. 2. Mount your camera above your plate and run the wire along the trunk of your vehicle towards the right passenger side until you get it to the glove compartment. 3. From the back of the stereo, You should be able to run another RCA to connect to your camera, get some adhesive tape to bind the two after you join the connection. You will need to remove plastic cover along the walls and floors of the passenger side of the vehicle to run your wire up to the front of the vehicle. |

Finally got around to installing my headunit with the PAC dash kit. I connected my RCA cable to the video input on the back of my headunit and just stashed the cable in the glove compartment for now. I kind of have an idea of how to run the RCA cable to the license plate, up until I get to the rear seat area. Am I supposed to take out my rear seats or is there a way to run the cable without taking them out?

Just pull up on the middle of each seat in the back and it should unclip pretty easily, I did mine without pulling out the seats, just unclipped them and held the seat up as I fished the wire under.

Make sure the wire that goes to reverse lights is with the rca or you will have to run it again.

I ran both my power and rca cable. Now, I need to connect the power wire to the reverse light wire... which wire is this? Should I use a quick connect or something?

I tapped into a positive wire on the reverse lights and just used a quick connect.

I hooked up mine the negative to the stereo ground, the power for the camera to my reverse wire on the head unit, and the reverse wire from the PAC audio kit. The RCA is hooked up to the brown "BC in" on the back of the head unit. With that configuration, you slide the car into reverse and the camera automatically pops up and back off once you're out of reverse. |

I also have the yellow RCA cable plugged into the back of the yellow RCA video input. The headunit recognizes when I put the car in reverse since it switches to camera view, but I'm not getting a picture. I'm guessing my quick connects aren't making good enough contact with the wires or i've spliced them into the wrong wires. |

Only have one minor issue now. When I select "Camera View" on my Pioneer 4200NEX, nothing shows up. But when I put the car in reverse, the camera works. Any idea why this is? I'm thinking it has something to do with the settings on my headunit Last edited by Bennieficial; 03-29-2017 at 09:07 PM. |
