Install: Back Up (Reverse) Camera

Master_Ly

It looks like you had your cam for a decent time now per time stamp of your thread and if it still working today, that gives some peace of mind to me. Bad batch can happen, unfortunately. Bang for the buck, I'm very pleased with mine as well.

Thank you very much for the tip on the lens maintenance and the screw paint! On the paint, I thought about getting those Testor model paints (I think acrylic) and painting the screws black. It's cheap and they last for a long time and resilient since my buddy used the same stuff on his FD's calipers (red paint).

No problem. Thank you for checking this out and please let us know your experience.

Thank you!!! But those harness were really on there! For me, it seemed easier to remove the external assembly so it could separate from their respective holes when I was doing the headunit install. I was afraid to break them too. But it was useful because after the headunit install, I wanted to test the headunit so I just use that little rubber thing with the metal contacts in the start button housing and turned the car to "accessories," with the battery reconnected, of course. I'll keep this in mind next time I have to take those buttons off. The more I learn about the car, the better.

humm.. not sure about yours but on mine i just took a small flat head screw driver to push the tab down while pulling it out from the assembly.

i know it's a little clumsy to see it but there's a tab on the hardness connector and you just put your driver between the connector and assembly where the tab is and gently press down...and it will unlock.

As promised, here is the video:

I think I know what you mean. I didn't disconnect it at the harness connection at all, just the housing with also a clip. It allowed me to do what I needed to do and for them to hang. But I'll have to try this next time. Thank you for the tip!
