Hey guys, I ordered a wireless backup camera and it has the camera unit with a transmitter and power and ground wire. Then the receiver has the rca male that plugs into the stereo and the power and ground. I have searched and only found wired installs not wireless.

I know you need to tap into the reverse bulb wore but my question is I have found the wore up front by the dash that triggers the reverse. Can I tap in to that or is it done at the back?

Only bad thing about the back is the reverse bulb is on the frame of the car where the camera is on the hatch so I will still need to run wires up the hatch and into the frame to the reverse bulb.

Anyone done a wireless backup camera?

Thanks

nevermind, I think I just need to hook up power and ground and plug in the RCA at the head unit, and run a wire up the hatch and back to the reverse bulb at the rear. THANKS GUYS, haha

So, I hooked everything up and I just have a black screen. I hooked up the reverse sensor wire from my Pioneer to my reverse trigger wire, power wire to power and ground to ground and the same at the rear up to the reverse bulb positive and negative.

Any Electrical guys have any ideas?

It switches into rear camera mode and says that the image may be mirrored, so it does sound like the sensor wire and the head unit are working, just no signal from the camera?

did u remember to remove the lens cap? I do that all the time with my camcorder.

I knew you would say something like that!
I looked too before you said anything thinking, perhaps there was some covering or something like that, but alas...no

Wireless backup camera systems are usually pretty terrible. The picture ends up being very fuzzy and low quality. I would highly recommend putting in a wired system.

I got it to work a while ago, its chinese so they had the black wire as power and the red wire as ground (go figure). The picture isn't bad and I don't the occasional fuzzy image as I can see about 90% of the time.
