How dont you need power to the switch?

 

For the 2020 MTM guys email Brian at ABC and see if he’s working on a solution

Here ya go.

i'm having the same issue, which ground did you switch to??

 

There's a 10mm bolt on the right side behind the head unit, it's holding the dash to a bar. I attached my ground wires (I connected them to one ring terminal) to that bolt.

 

Where ddid you attached the blue and gray wires from the 30 pin harness (the one with the yellow video cables)? I can't find any information on what to do with them.

 

Thats weird. I recently installed my ABC and the grey/blue wire is connected for the switch and not on the harnesses.

 

There should be blue and gray wires on the switch harness. Connect them together.

 

Glad to hear you got it working. I'll be doing my 2020 install this weekend on my Off Road. Did the instructional video from AnyTime Backup Camera work for you, or did you have to do something different?

 

I PM'd this to a guy asking for help but should make it public, hope it helps!


I first tried one of the 4 radio mounting bolts but that didn't work so I used the one on the right inside the hole where the head unit goes. I didn't see one on the left, if you have a multimeter check that it's a good ground.

I mostly used the video for reference. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTH6w7pColg

Between the two radio harnesses and the switch harness, connect ALL the same colors together EXCEPT:
1) Connect the two greens with the red pigtail that comes off the long component video that you run from the engine bay to behind the radio. I used a male/female bullet connector, combined the two greens and crimped to a female bullet. Then put the male bullet on the red wire off the video cable.
2) Crimp the two black wires into a ring terminal to use for ground.

He doesn't mention the blue and gray wire anywhere, but those are actually provided off one of the radio harnesses so you don't need to figure out illumination.

 

I installed the anytime backup camera (front camera). With the switch, and every time I click rear it shows the rear camera and then when ever I click front it also shows the rear. I tried switching the yellow AV plugs around but all that did was show me nothing when I clicked rear and showed me the rear when I clicked front. What am I doing wrong?

 

It sounds like the relay setup is messed up somehow and not triggering it to switch to the front camera. But you are faking the reverse signal to turn on the rear camera. From my understanding, when you hit the rear switch it fakes the reverse light signal to the head unit, activating the cam. When you hit the front switch it fakes the reverse light signal, then the relay swaps in the video signal from the front camera.

Double check your green wires are connected together. It's possible the relay is broken, but not likely.

 

Since you see the rear camera regardless of switch position, I'd say start with the switch wiring to confirm everything is wired up correctly. Then check the relay. See if it clicks when you switch inputs. If it does, then perhaps the wiring is off on that?

 

Your understanding is correct.

 

Thanks so much for your reply, every little bit helps. So many people on here seem to be having a lot of trouble with this kit, I'll take all the info I can get.

 

I mixed up the yellow AV connectors and my green wire came loose behind the radio. Those were my issues. I found a video where they made a diagram of the wires. Simple to follow and actually helped a lot. My front camera is working now.

Like the other 2 guys said, Check your wirings. my camera from Amazon came today, installed it and nothing on the screen. Turns out the Ttap that it came with is defective so i ended up using disconnects and that worked. Next issue is Front is showing the rear. I finally figured it out after brainstorming with myself.

 

Nice guys!

 

So I just pulled my head unit off, and discovered that the 2020 connectors in the back do not look like all the videos I've seen, even the ones on the actual Anytime Backupcamera site. On my 2020, I have three of those 28 pin connectors in a row. I have a black one, a white one, and a gray one. I could try to make an educated guess which one goes where, but I really, REALLY don't want to fry my head unit. Can anyone who's put this kit in the 2020 chime in and help my dumb ass out please?
