Backup Camera Installed

Hello, Just wanted to show that I added a backup camera to my radio (Pioneer AVH-P4100DVD).

I bought a ~$20 (shipped) backup camera off of ebay in early Jan. I didn't want to spend a bunch of cash on it 'cause I figured it may get stolen or I'll break it.

Pretty easy install. Just ran the cables up to the front and tied the radio into the backup wire. I was able to find which wire via searching the forum. (This is a great site!)

Let's see if the pics make it in:

OH, it also has night vision. I'll try that out tonight.

AND,
Yes I put it in reverse to test. I had the engine off, parking brake on and front wheels blocked so it wouldn't roll.

very nice...I've been looking for one on eBay for a week now. seen that one and was scared of it.

have to add it to my "possible" list.


I'm looking for one that is tubular though. I plan on taking off my trunklid lock and mounting that camera in there...seen any like that? kinda looks like a small maglight

Thanks.

I just did a quick search on ebay. Look at item # 390143179789 .

I probably should have used that one.

That's the one I've got in my tailgate. It's bigger than it looks and I had to use the drill bit that came with it to make the keyhole in my tailgate bigger. It works pretty well, however it's not water tight anymore. Condensation gets in there now. Also, the black paint comes off almost immediately to expose the shinny aluminum.

thx for that part # javieljb...and the confirmation Bridge.

that is exactly what I am after. I'll make sure and "seal" it up with silicone as best as possible



now I need to find out what the Rearview Mirror LCD uses as a feed in my Expy. wonder if it's a RCA cable or something else.
