  • When I installed my Android head unit I decided to add a backup camera, which was specifically made for this generation of BMWs. I found it on Amazon for $30, and it works very well. Its nice to have just for the sake of convenience, and I think that if you're going to bother installing the new infotainment, you may as well get the camera too!

    Hello great video. Any idea of why I’m hating not signal on the back up camera?

    Hi, I have the same camera. 4:18 have you found the way to calibrate the guide lines? And also, can you make the sensor on the screen ( red yellow green) work so when you move closer to the things behind you the sensor will be filled with the color (green -> yellow -> red)? Because i saw on your video, same as mine, that the sensor always filled with all the color (red yellow green) even when there’s still a lot of space behind.

    That "metal piece in the middle" of your butt connectors, its supposed to be heated, it melts to become a soldered connection. Fyi ;)

    Any chance did you have any issues of not getting any power with the red 12v camera wire or APP wire? I tried connecting my camera to either of these wires and theres no power into the screen. I also used a lead test connected to the ground and neither of the wires light up.

    • @SamAbraham
      @SamAbraham  Před 2 lety

      I did actually, made another video on this where i tap into the reverse light instead as I couldn't get the other wires to work either

    Hi.. Installed my camera, when I put it into reverse, the screen goes to reverse screen but theres no display. Just the sensors are displayed. I dont get no signal error which others have had. Any ideas?

    • @SamAbraham
      @SamAbraham  Před 2 lety

      Hmm maybe not enough power being received by the camera for whatever reason?

    For those of you who have a manual transmission, or were having issues installing the camera in this way, check out this video I just uploaded of how to fix it!

      Not for power, only to trigger them. Went to the battery with an inline fuse for power

    I have problem with reverse camera connection or the camera doesn't work. So I connected the red wire from camera to right reversing light, black wire is connected with trunk's screw (electric mass I hope so). Yellow RCA cable is dragged through whole car to navigation (the same like yours) and plugged in and the last red wire is soldered to red cable 12V from navigation. When I put reverse gear nothing happens. Even the reverse screen doesn't appear. Do you have any advice?

    • @SamAbraham
      @SamAbraham  Před 4 lety

      PyQIT First question I have is which trans do you have? Auto or manual? My camera worked fine when my car was an automatic, but after converting to a manual the camera no longer works. I contacted AVIN and they sent me some instructions to re-wire, I just havent done it yet. I’ll make a video on it clarifying all the wiring for my weird scenario, but maybe it’ll resolve your problem as well
