Im looking at getting this reverse cam: Crimestopper SV-6704.IR (SV6704IR) CCD Camera with Night Vision anyone had any experience with it?


My HU actually has a Reverse cam wire coming from it, so I just need to run that to the back of the car? I'm guessing that's a remote turn on, but not sure how it will know the car's in reverse... guess I need to pull the box out and check the manual.

Can you describe the wire, what if any connector it has and whether it is a single wire?

It could be the input/trigger signal wire to tell your HU that the car is in reverse and in that case you would connect to the reversing lights or the appropriate wire on the AV harness. What year 370z do you have? I can post some pictures to show you where to connect.

Or it could be the video in where you actually plug the camera in and in that case it will typically be an RCA connector.

It's just a purple wire that comes from the HU adapter that says 'rear view cam' no connector on the end. I've added some cable to be able to bring it to the rear of the car if need be, I just didn't know if it sends the power to the cam, or if it is the reverse tap, which is what I'm guessing it is.

I have a 2010.

Ok, so the purple wire from my HU is the pick up from the car saying it's in reverse. So that's the one I need to tap in the rear harness with. The camera will get 12v power from somewhere back there, I just don't know where, then use an RCA for the video input to the HU.

I'm gonna order it today, it comes with it's own drill bit for the bumper, just have to figure out where. I'm thinking that little square piece above the rear fog light.

Big - That piece, have you mounted a cam there before? Do you know how to remove it to do so if you have a DIY or a few pics would be graciously welcomed.

Interesting how every post of yours (whatever the subject) always contains a link to the same company. Do you work for that company or are you just being paid to post links to them?
