So it was spring cleaning at the stereo store I work at role time and I noticed a box I know I had seen at least 20 times before only never read. Whoa its a Farenheit rear view camera. SNATCHED (with permission of form). I already have the interior out of the car because I'm upgrading my sub and amplifiers and so that just makes it easier to road the wires. Now the pics:

*ADDED – Camera model # – Farenheit LP-1CA

  1. The rear view view camera -itself

2. The contents of the box

3. The contents sorted on the floor

4. Removed plate and erstwhile license plate holder

5. The inside of the rear, notice the large grommit in the heart. This is where I ran the wire inside the car

6. Once the grommit is removed, you tin cut a small piece in it to run the wires through

vii. One time the wire from the frame is inside the car, information technology must be continued to a minor box that was included with the frame. the image processing is washed inside this box and then images are sent from the box to your headunit. Be sure to tuck it away then it doesn't get crushed.

8. Reverse wire. Dont forget the reverse wire . Without this connection the Avic Z1 wont switch to rear camera when you lot shift into reverse. Pioneer included a specific wire for this connection so I tapped into the reverse lite in the rear as opposed to finding the wire up front.

nine. One time the wires is tapped it'south time for a little wire management.

10. Through the rear strut bar and out the compartment behind the rider seat.

eleven. I ran the wires down the centre, its a lot easier then pulling upward the carpet. Fourth dimension for the Z1 to come up out once more.

12. Find the wire for the reverse gear input and connect it to the wire that you tapped into the reverse low-cal in the back.

13. Time to tap into some ability for the photographic camera. It doesnt really matter where you tap into the power, but since this photographic camera has the ability wires attached on the end of the cables that get fastened to the head unit, I tapped the constant power from the head unit of measurement and the oem basis. The headunit has its own separate basis at present. Here is a shot of the power wire prepped for install

14. The terminal connection, the bodily video feed from the box mounted in the rear.

15. Turn on the motorcar and examination it out before securing down the caput unit of measurement. Make sure all of your speakers and devices attached to the radio are functioning. It gets really tight behind the head unit of measurement and its like shooting fish in a barrel to disconnect wires when reassembling. I had to alter a setting on the headunit to accept camera feed for the rear.

Here are some pics of the images from the photographic camera

Enjoy.

BTW since the license plate camera frame is substantially thicker then your average frame, I had to replace the screws and the mounting clips. When I bought the car the stealership used some horrible little screws that stripped the nuts inside the oem clips. A quick trip to lowes for two new fibroid thread phillips head bolts, two torso clips and two plastic black screw caps did the play a trick on.
