- A walk through (after the job was done) of replacing the reversing camera on a 2016 Citroen Cactus Flair Edition.
Please excuse the quality. I'm doing this to help others not suffer the same drama I did trying to find out how to replace it.
I don't sell anything and I'm not a car maintenance guy. I'm just paying it forwards.
Hope it helps.
Thanks for this. I ordered a 2nd hand one and fitted it earlier today. Looks as good as new.
No dramas mate, honestly couldn't believe how hard it was to find out the right info to get this sorted. Just trying to pay it forward.
Thank you for the video. Just got a 2nd hand cactus and the camera isn't working. Couldn't find out how to take this off as wanted to check connectors first. Great job!
No dramas mate, hope you got it sorted.
Thanks mate for doing this, I had a previous cactus that had a camera then my wife had an accident so the car was written off, and we bought another one but sadly the new one didn't have the camera, so I am looking to install a camera myself, which is a pain. lol Once again, Thanks for doing this, and unselfishly took the time to make this video.
All good mate, appreciate the thanks. I'm glad it's helped out.
Thanks Roger well explained & filmed. I'll give it a go
My Daughter will be happy, I'll let her know 😁. How did you get on, did you manage to replace it?
Thanks for this! I get to do this myself before too long, it's amazing how common a problem this is on the Cactus... At least it should still pass the EU Kontroll with it out!
No worries at all. It's why I did the video, I couldn't find ANYTHING at all to be able to figure this out so just thought I'd pay it forwards :)
Very helpful indeed, thank you very much!
No worries Mike. Appreciate the comment as it let’s me know the time spent doing it was worthwhile.
Thanks mister for this
No worries, hope it helped.
The wind is interfering with the sound
Totally get it, it's not the best is it. I don't have the car anymore and was only doing it do others would know how to, not for any gain.
Super helpful video. But I can't seem to find the camera anywhere on Amazon. What did you buy and is the quality of video as good as original ?
Sorry mate, totally missed this. Got it from eBay. More recent comments tell me that eBay doesn't look like they have any more around...sad times. The one I bought was perfect quality, same as the original (but then it was an original part just second hand).
I came here from somewhere on the web only to give your video a thumbs up.
Where did you get the replacement?
Edit: nevermind, just read another comment of you explaining that you got it from ebay but its apparently not there anymore. Cheers.
Thank you for sharing this video I’m hoping this is going to help :) I’m at a loss at the moment locating a seller or site for the camera. Do you have any site you would recommend.
Many thanks in advance.
Got mine off of ebay. Just has a quick look for you and can't see much around at all sadly. Sorry :(
does anyone have a secound hand nackup camera that you can just easily change on the cactus? mine has suffered water damage, so need to replace it and i am not keen on wasting 3-400 bucks on a new one.
Sadly it does look like they are now in demand and have got difficult to find. Sorry I can't help :(
Thanks for the video. Though I have the 2019 C4 Cactus everything back there is probably the same as you show.
My review camera doesn't work half the time. After lots of testing over time, I found I only need to activate the rear window wiper for a swipe or two, and the camera comes back to life. Weird that. Probably some loose wiring inside and seeing your video gives me the confidence to open up the back tailgate and see if I can find a permanent solution.
Did you manage to sort it permanently Sam? If it wasn't loose wiring it'll most likely be something internal in the camera which would need replacing. Hope you sorted it whatever it was.
@@stuntmunky264 Thanks for asking.
Since it is raining here a lot, I always have the auto windshield wipers on which turns on the back wipers when I put it in reverse to back out of my driveway, so the camera has been working 95% of the time these days.
Also, until I purchase the car from the company I'm leasing it from, (which will be in June) I don't want to take anything apart. 🙂
And when I do, the first thing is the camera. The second thing is moving the rearview mirror up a bit (I have an idea on how) because it completely blocks my view of anything coming from the right. With "priority coming from the right" a thing here in France, and me being so tall that has become an issue.
Thanks for your channel.
Finally got the time to take apart the back of my 2019 C4 Cactus and get to the camera wiring. The version of the Cactus I have is A LOT easier to open up the back. Just two clips and that little screw you mentioned. Never would have know about the screw if it wasn't for this video.
Since it was working after turning on the wiper blades I thought it was probably loose wiring. So, I reconnected all the connectors then waited a few days. The back camera still worked so I put everything back together.
I have to say that I think the video is now clearer that it was before. Could that really be? Anyway, thanks again for the video that gave me the hope and impetus to fix by backup camera.
Very helpful thankyou
Pleasure, glad it helped :)
Is possible can you make a video change. A third brake ligth thank you
Sorry, I only did the video to help others out, I'm not any sort of repair person and wasn't doing it for gain.
Would you be able to share a link to a replacement camera for sale?
Ive been looking everywhere cant find one.
Thanks
Got mine off of ebay. Just has a quick look for you and can't see much around at all sadly. Sorry :(
@@stuntmunky264 Thanks anyways
Hello,
would you know the part number for the camera?
thanks
Standing to far away to see what your up as wind is playing havoc 😢
Totally get it, it's not the best is it. I don't have the car anymore and was only doing it do others would know how to, not for any gain.
Cheers me dear 👍
Really helpful video, just need to find a replacement camera now!
On my 2019 Cactus, which the rear camera only works half the time, I just have to activate the real wiper blade a few swipes and the camera comes back to life.
eBay provided pretty quickly when I was looking for mine. Did you manage to find one Dan?
Thank's...🤠👍
No dramas at all, glad it helped.
