Got a feeling I know what Scotty's TV A/V center wiring looks like.
Scotty Kilmer how is the video quality?
Yeah, I have an autodimming review mirror. I can't use this.
Scotty, my man, I don't know how you do it but every time I need to fix something on my car and don't know how, you always have the answers haha. I recently decided to stop wasting money on parts I don't need at dealerships and mechanics and do it myself. And some how you always have the video I need. Thank you so much. I wish I had you in my neighborhood haha
I've given these away for Christmas. Excellent video Scotty!
People pay hundreds of dollars for this feature in new cars. It's cool that you can do it for $20.
Standard equipment in more or less every car today, at least in Europe.
*thousands
Not really, you have to pay for cameras quite a lot because they charge you with a big screen. Since you have a big screen you have a gps and all kinds of media. Since you have a lot of media you get better speakers. Overall you pay A LOT for it, not worth it.
these are made in China from old stock cell phone cams and lcds. amazing how it's $20.
but the labor is what really costs in time or money to get it looking good.
I thought that they fell off a truck somewhere!
I love your videos. Always a pleasure watching and learning from them. Have a nice day.
One drawback with the mirror is that in bright light, the image is over powered by the reflection from the back window.
The easiest solution to this is to flick the little knob under your old mirror that is a sort of dimmer, or just tilt the mirror and put it back again!
Scotty sorry to see you leave Tn., your vids rock and it's nice to watch a good honest mechanic tell it like it is. I just got my van top 612 today and am deciding where to mount my rear camera but a near tag install is out because my led tag lights will wash out the camera. I am considering removing the lock barrel on my 99 f 150 tail gate and sliding the camera in there, I live in a congested area of Florida where everyone drives with a phone in their face so I can wait to get this thing operational. Thank you for the solid info and good luck to you.
love this guy makes everything sound easy. cheers big ears. keep it rolling
the best instructor ever! thanks for sharing
You are an angel, i am really decided to buy one, to put on my Mercedes. Good videos Scotty, keep going.
I got mine this summer. Installed in about a hour or so. I like using this to park in the garage. I like to back into the garage. Heck I like backing in to park everywhere. But this camera is nice. It took me a little while to trust it. But you will come around.
Congrats 1 million subs !
4.3 mill now
Check your left front tire pressure Scotty! haha
Thanks Scotty, great video.
Hi scotty love your videos keep up the awesome work
Another Scotty gem!
Thank you Scotty. I ran and got this product for a gift!
New intro hype!
Right!!
hey scotty nice vid ..thanks a lot man..ill buy one..
I saw this video once before and then forgot all about it and then I go and buy one because I buy in Excursion and it's the exact same one thanks Scotty for showing me how easy this is I'm going the wireless way and I didn't think to tap into the stereo but now I'm going to thanks again
That's awesome!
Thanks!
Appreciate the video. Had a similar experience with a $14 Dash Cam earlier this year. Certainly not the best Camera around and it has its limits but the install was simple. The price is right, and a good proof of concept that I could DIY a few other things. Because of videos like this my '03 Sedan also has a Retrofit TPMS, which I love, it's completely wireless so anyone can install this quickly. A bit pricey near $100 but worth it as I was able to Monitor a slow Leak/Flat tire that I might have otherwise missed and driven on by Mistake ruining the tire or caused it to degrade more rapidly (possible catastrophic failure later) from low pressure/high heat buildup that would go unseen/ignored between Pressure checks.
Nailed the new intro scotty
Great video scotty
nice! good find.
Oh my goodness it's John Lennon! Nice video John
HaHa the car stops at 0:08 but you can still hear the tyres.
this guy aint the best at video editing but damn smart with cars.
The speed of sound is slower than the speed of light? Lol
Yeah, he faked the tire sound, but it doesnt matter, we are here for his car knowledge :)
It's part of the charm, I say.
Doesn't matter....he is awesome...I watch his videos because he is so lively....he would get a Hollywood role someday...
Great video.
I just follow this guy because he is entertaining! I don't even work on my own car. I'll be honest, I hire someone for just about everything: toilet, sink, etc. I suck!!
Haha yeah I watch every Scotty video simply because it's entertaining and full of good info. I don't even actually have the car problems he solves but still great to watch.
Great video!!!
I bought two different brands of these devices. The first one was expensive and the second one was cheaper (about $70). They both worked about the same. They worked well at night. During the day, the glare coming through the rear window made viewing the image very difficult. I had the rear window tinted for $80 and it was a little better.
Cheers Scotty. I need one of those.
Thanks for posting up your videos. While this one doesn't show the details of the install, the overall idea is presented well enough. My only critique... I can't watch too long due to the way you're shouting at me in a Billy Mays style infomercial voice. Thanks for posting the videos, though. You, and the other people like you, are making life easier for countless numbers of people via CZcams.
nice finish scotty!!
Yeah, great video as it got me thinking on buying one. It would mount over the state name on the plate however. The other issue for me is the plate is on the left rear side of the vehicle as I have a rear mounted spare tire on the right side. Not sure if the view would be impacted/affected. Also, what about theft exposure?
i might get this just so I don't run over my cats. I always check under the freaking car to make sure they are not around as I am backing up. Two of them are very old and suicidal and I don't want to be the one to take the two lives they got left.
LMAO
Suicidal? ahahahaha
xart23x
they are old, over 10 years old so they just fall asleep under the wheels, and sometimes I have to grab em by the tail and pull em out from underneath. I don't think they care about living anymore, so I think they are suicidal.
Y10Q
I laugh cuz it hurts, honestly. My beloved cat who lived 20 (human) years also was suicidal before she passed. She walked into traffic uncharacteristically when she was diseased with mange. Week later i took her to doctor and she was put down. Tough day for me.
😂😂
I frickin love Scotty dude
Scotty you are truly a car enthusiast
Hey Scotty, nice video. Energetic and informative as always. Can you let me know the make and model of this reversing camera kit. Keep up the good work, Cheers Sean. Dublin
Nice videos, Nice guy!
Dude you are soo cool no matter what you do!!!!!!!!!!
Great video, thanks! Could you put a link to the one you purchased in the description?
I have run across this camera, wondered if it really worked. Thanks
That's really cool.
Hi Scotty,
Is it legal to, though partially, cover the licence plate? Also I believe the mirror is a homologated component while the one that gets stuck on top isn't.
That's a great little gadget fair play, goon one Scotty.
You are awesome!!! Sweetheart, thank you!!!
Hey Kilmer thanks for all your videos they have helped me out a lot. I had a quick question. I'm trying to figure out if it's necessary to replace the woodruff key while replacing the harmonic balancer with an aftermarket one.
aftermarket one should fit on the key already there
Would've been great if you supplied a link to the mirror.
I don't do links unless they are sponsored. I just did this all on my own, if you go to amazon you can easily find it.
That's fair enough. I had a look and I think I've found it. You're lucky in America though, the same kit is priced at £40 here.
***** Fairly difficult when there's more than one option available. People will watch this, want this one as he's demonstrated how to do it. I looked on Amazon and there's a tonne of different options available. Wireless ones, wired, 7" ones, small ones etc.
To be fair, Scotty did hold the box right up to the camera and if you pause you can read the brand, model, UPC, and even P/N.
Ebay Wireless 1 that looks identical for £24.99
thanks for the tip scotty! where can i buy one?
nice one ma man
Nice videos
Nice!
Sweet Idea. I
should get this for my friend that's hates to back up
Geez.. u amazed me.. I never thought of it.
Love it
I installed one on my mom's 2002 Camry, the hardest part was actually taking apart the trunk lid trim pieces to feed the wire through lol... That itself took a lot of Googling and Youtubing
Great video Scotty! But...I gave ya a thumbs up, but you really phoned this one in! You yadda yaddad over the tough parts! We can figure out the easy stuff. We need you for the tough parts!
that is pretty cool
Hi Scott just wondering if you can do a video on a wireless backup camera since you said on this vid you did wired on this one :)
Hi, Thanks for the video, I just purchased the rear view camera pack just like the one you used in your video, and installed it on a bmw 530i 2007 but I have a problem now which is after starting the car and going to reverse, the camera works for only afew secounds and then the camera goes blue and turning off( because of no signal I guess) I used reverse light for feeding positive to both camera and lcd(mirror) and for negative directly connected to the battery. May you please help me? some says I should use a relay and connect cam and lcd directly to positive of battery through a relay and use the reverse light signal just to switch the relay on. Do you think this will solve my problem?
Scotty, I bought a similar kit for my '05 Tacoma. The image ticks on for a split second every second or so. Having a hell of a time diagnosing the cause. The power for the camera is drawn from splice in reverse light positive and negative. The mirror monitor is powered from the reverse trigger wire in the driver side kick panel. Would I need a voltage stabilizer at both power taps? Something else?
Hey Scotty, Need your help again. Hooked up my front and rear Dash camera system, works Great, Except, The rear Camera Displays Backward, or a Mirror Image. How the heck do I fix This? Thanx , JD.
on a different note trying to upgrade my 2007 Chrysler Aspen limited GPS Junkie stereo monitor how do you measure it to find a very good fit so that you don't have a ton of plastic 2 cover gaps
this guy is so pumped actually haha
All my cars have back up cameras so I'm good. I'm just so used to them that they actually help
Nice
well done Scotty. What brand was it?
you the MAN!!! i do my own work
Ideal!!!!
Scotty, where did you get the actual camera? The product you liked seems to only include the mirror assembly.
any chance there's a different source for the wireless transmitter, or another option? i'm likin' it so far, though!
i've got a gigantic, lincoln town car and don't want to mess with wiring. hell, even the wireless may not reach that far, lol!
can you use a backup camera and monitor set as just a regular camera? i wanna set one up in my house.
Can I connect my camera with on/off switch? Or wire to parking lights. So I can turn it on while I'm driving. But problem is can this cameras work for prolonged time? Thanks a lot
what about snow or low temperature in winter season, will this camara work?
only thing i see is your covering the texas with the camera ? here in florida you'd get a ticket ,,each state is different , nice job thanks
cool..I need that....got a question...my dodge charger 07 runs like it want to cut off when the air is running an the car is parked or at the light...help me
Scotty awesome
Hey Scotty love seeing all the quick fixes and gadgets, but your viewers should check local laws on putting anything covering the license plate, up here in Ont. Canada some plate covers are illegal with $110. fine.
On the video cable, what or how is the pink short cable connected? Please help.
Ps. Your videos are awesome!
Warning the wireless kit he shows is not the right one ,made that mistake but now have the right ones great product!
Question: you didn't snake your wires all hidden, tucked away, like other video show. Seems like less hassle, and the wires don't cause distraction, even hanging in your field of view?
Hi Scotty, I'm a new driver and I got my new Mitsubishi Mirage G4 last year. Atm I having issues with alignment, I just recently got it fixed from a tire maintenance dealer and after 2 weeks I got the same issue(not sure if it's only the steering wheel) but not bad as it was used to be and I've driving it smoothly as possible. Any suggestions or can you give me a feedback about this car?
find a better aligment shop, many tire dealers don't have such great mechaniccs, go to a real front end shop that does ONLY that.
I've been looking for one of these too but I want one that has a compass and the auto dimming function as well as the back up camera. The ones I have found appear to be over $600 but I gotta believe there's something less than that
Hi Scotty Kilmer,
I wonder if these would still work when exposed to heat.
Like a car sitting in the sun in a tropical climate/in summer.
I wanted to install these and a dashcam but worry they would be ruined by the heat.
thanks
id like to know the same, as i cant leave a dash cam in the truck without the battery exploding during the 120* summers :/
only time would tell on that, but any car parked in the sun will deterioate plastic, that's just a fact.
It's very cheap compared to more known systems, or factory systems. You don't lose hundreds of dollars of this goes bonkers on you.
I’m getting mine!
I have an Acura TL 2005 Navi. I wanted to install a backup camera and wire it into the navi system. Is it possible?
Hey Scotty, another great video. Can you give a link to the amazon listing? I can't find this one or any other for $20. *LOVE YOUR SHOW!*
the evil swine raised the price after my video. I even made the video free, just go to amazon and see what's there now
Hey Scotty, could you share the Amazon link for that setup?
Pretty cool setup but luckily for me my Ram 1500 already has one built into the tailgate handle. My brother has the exact same truck and Year but his doesn't have that option. Also unfortunately for the 2014 Ram 1500 the microphones for the voice activated features are mounted on the rearview mirror, so nothing it going to be able to fit onto it. One last thing, here in California the month/year tags are on top of the plate and can't be covered up. That would prove to be a problem for a lot of vehicles adding that camera setup.
A backup camera would be nice sometimes, but I wouldn't want it on only when in reverse, so I'd probably have to feed 2 wires through to the front: One for the video, and one for a switch I can put in the dashboard. Plus, in this case a dedicated display might be better, so the mirror is still usable when the camera is on. But for people who only use it when in reverse, this is certainly a cool and cheap little gadget.
What is the link to the camera used in this video? Any similar ones for under $20 are fine too.
Hi Scotty great video ,i drive a van so no rear mirror only side ones ,could this be wired to be a permanently on rear view mirror.
It can, just find another wire that is on when the cars ACC is on.. though most states have issues with that setup, and only allow it when in Reverse, as it provides a distraction.
Or you could just tape the mirror you got to your dashboard.
nice
This all looks great but where can I take it to have a professional install it? I don't want to mess with the wires
What a got damn legend!
Hey Scott: My mom's 2007 Chevrolet Uplander has issues with the rear quarter windows not opening at all, and I have no idea where the hell the wiring is for the rear windows. Would corrosion kill the connection? If so, should I salvage one off of a car at a junkyard or buy a new wiring harness and solder in the new one? "Stealerships" would charge me about $100 to look at it, plus the repair.
try a salvage one AFTER checking the motors, they are notoriously weak and tend to rust out
Wow! everythings getting so cheap! insanity! pretty cool how it worked well too.. May have to put one on my Moms Car so shell stop runnin into things LOL!
+Scotty Kilmer, it looked like the camera had LED's in it. think you could follow up with how well it works at night?
Does the mirror also take power from the reverse kicking in or do you wire them separately ? so does the camera need to constantly be on standby by being wired into fuse box or something as an example?
it takes power from reverse. It's not on standby, the reverse power just turns it on like a switcb
Thanks for reply
You said the mirror takes power from behind the radio because that's always on?
So I should power both devices to the reverse light?
