scobie140 Posted June 23, 2015 Author Posted June 23, 2015 Yep that was the problem, I assumed it would have all ready been wired into the harness. Just spliced it onto the blue wire in the harness. Still no joy with the camera though. Checked the settings and it's switched on in the settings it just doesn't do anything once in reverse. Checked the wires countless times all seems right, think I'll need to get a sparky to have a look at it next time I'm home. Quote
newkid Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Are you sure you have connected the red wire from the camera to a positive 12v wire attached to the vehicles reverse lighting loom ? Quote
newkid Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 If you haven't done that properly you will not get power to the camera when in reverse Quote

scobie140 Posted June 23, 2015 Author Posted June 23, 2015 I have moved the earth to the earth point in the boot since that pic was taken. unless that's the wrong wire I've spliced into for the power? Quote
scobie140 Posted June 23, 2015 Author Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) Happy days!! Just took it for a drive for the 1st time to drop it off to get the spoiler sorted since someone decided to bottle it Sunday night. Found the solution! The green and silver wire is the indicator lol. Was positive the guide said green and silver. A few roundabouts and it quickly made sense why the music kept cutting in and out. Should be an easy fix now once I'm back in a fortnight. What colour is the reverse then? Edited June 23, 2015 by scobie140 Quote
Floydbax Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) The light green and white one lol you numpty edit, the other green one in that pic just above the one you used. Edited June 23, 2015 by Floydbax Quote
scobie140 Posted June 23, 2015 Author Posted June 23, 2015 Haha just re read the guide again and it says pale green with silver band, so green and silver is been stuck in my head. The silver band threw me off. Atleast I got there in the end. Hopefully this will help anyone else struggling to install these in the future. 2 days to wire up a cd player and camera! I did all 4 springs, front and rear arb's and drop links in about 4-5 hours lol. 1 Quote
scobie140 Posted July 10, 2015 Author Posted July 10, 2015 Sorted! Music cuts out when reverse is engaged, a little annoying but can live with it I suppose. Just can't get my Samsung s5 to supply Internet to the headunit. Just keeps reconnecting :s Quote
