I also installed a rear camera on my Peugeot 308 SW II from 2016. It was a lot of work to get it working so I like to share my findings with you: I used an Ebilaen AA/CarPlay unit and a Smartour 1080p camera. I found out as explained in this video that I had to use a relais to make it work since the voltage was varying between 12V-14V (so even above the 12V use a relais). They don't explain it in this video but it does matter to which yellow cable of the two cables of the relais you connect the - and signal/reverse light. Check Google for an image of how to connect the cables to the relais. Next, I also found out that I had to use the small red cable attached to the video cable. So don't cut it off! I had to connect it to the REVERSE input cable on the back of the Ebilaen module. This provides the module the signal that the car is in reverse. At first I connected this cable to the reverse light cable but as said earlier the voltage was varying too much. Therefore I connected the tiny red REVERSE cable to the + cable of the relais which also goes to the camera. And then it worked! Turn off OEM|Aftermarket camera in the main menu under settings > car. Finally, the guide lines on the screen were opposite to that my steering wheel was doing. Go to Front View in the main menu and change View to Normal of Reverse. Hopes this works for you. Cheers!
Thanks man, I spent a good share of the day struggeling with this install and I think that as you mentionned, the key is the relay! I'll give it another shot soon... By the way, where did you get the steady/power 12V?
@@thierryhimself2796 I managed to wire it up and used the antena amplifier cable in the headunit and wired it to the little red wire that came along with the RCA video cable. Since the Car has a Canbus, the camera pops up without needing the reverse camera signal. If you don't have a canbus you can just wire the cable from the antena amplifier back to the camera.
You guys are actually the best for making this video. I’m going to watch this to see if this is compatible with the CarPlay you installed in your first video Bravo
Thank you very much. It should work because we connected it to the same Carplay Kit as shown in our previous video. I hope the video is helpfull! Thanks, The DIY Guys!
Hi, your videos are very clear and helpful. I have Peugeot 308 2012 ehdi UK version. It's has no truck light. I got one from the junk yard but don't know how to connect wiring or how it works. Like when you open truck, light should come on etc.... can you help please?
This video could have been a little bit more explained. Find the 12v in reverse, but it will have less than 12v but it might have 12v. And bring a cable from the clip and attach to a yellow....sure but that clip it's positive or negative?
Many thanks for the tutorial! I am studying to install the Carplay-unit including rear camera on my 2016 308SW also. It seems that you are using the reverse light signal/power to power the camera, right? You do not continuously supply power to the rear camera, correct? Does that mean that if the camera _starts_ sending a CVBS-video signal (or AHD?) to the Carplay-unit also _automatically_ starts displaying that video? In other words: there is no need to separately feed a reverse (light) signal to the Carplay-unit?
For the love of god I can't seem to remove the plastic cover above the window (at 1:10 ). Anything you guys had to do to remove it? The sides (almost where the trunk privacy cover clips to) can be removed fine, but the inner part of the cover is just 100% stuck
Hi, if I already have the original camera that came with the car, as in the manufacturer's one, would I need to fit this if I install the Apple carplay/ Android auto kit that you fitted in one of your other videos? Would the original reverse camera not work?
I would assume you can just plug in the old camera's output cable into the new head unit without doing any wiring, as long as the head unit is plug and play
The diagram is clear to me: the camera is only powered when the car is put in reverse. I just don't understand how the carplay-unit also detects that the car is put in reverse.

@@octavian4305 thanks, helpful!
In case you haven't by now, adding a cone shaped step drill is a nice to have in your toolkit.

Hey nice video
Can you add a new link for a camera without CarPlay?
Kunnen jullie ook hoe moet ik de zijdeuren panelen er af halen ? Ik wil de speakers vervangen, omdat die van mijn is kaduuk. Bedankt.
Hey, Does the original SMEG+ unit has to support a video camera ?
Currently I don't have a parking camera .
Great!

I’ve seen a lot of videos of people doing this on the right side, how can it be correct? Doesn’t the camera need to be centered?
can you please tell what that second camera reference is?
thank you
Hello, can you tell me pls from where you took the 12v for that relay în the back. Thanks!

With our car, it was just a matter of pulling hard. You have to dare to use enough force, but make sure that the plastic does not break.
Super thank you
what is the link for the 2nd camera used?
Good jobs
Can somebody clarify the part of the 12V and the GND for the relais by the tow hook?
Pls will u explain the settings for back up camera on the multimedia unit. Thank you.

Thank you give me daigramme radio and tv
That diagram made no sense?
The diagram is clear to me: the camera is only powered when the car is put in reverse. I just don't understand how the carplay-unit also detects that the car is put in reverse.
Can’t you just use a 12V accu for the camera
Yes, but how does the carplay unit detects that the car is put in reverse?
@@marcelvanderkooij Thank you
