Front camera install question.

My search skills must suck because I cannot find this anywhere. I have a Beat-Sonic front camera interface. I am trying to figure out the best place to run the video cable. The passenger side grommet is full with my audio upgrade and off-road light wires. Also the camera I bought is the one that fits in the logo center of the grille. It has a power wire. Do I need to hook this up and if so, do I just hook it to any 12v power?

 

There is a small gromit on driver side. Thats how i ran all my wires to interior switch panel. Its just left and below the clear plastic fluid container.

 

Or you could go wireless like I did.

 

Man the front camera is my first mod so far and it's been a total headache for me getttinh things right because I have no clue what I'm doing.

I will say though these guys have been really helpful in my install so hopefully you get your issue sorted out. I'm still waiting to get mine done. How did you hook up the front camera did you make or buy a kit?

 

I am getting someone with smaller hands to run the video cable Wednesday. I want to use this kit because I don't have to cut anything, With the button I can view the back or front camera anytime, The backup camera works as it did and when I'm going forward below 9mph, the front one comes on for parking. Thats what it says anyway. I'll let yall know when I get it hooked up.

 

Looking forward to seeing how this project works out. I am really wanting to do the front camera and anytime rear camera mods.

 

I tested the same front camera, but was building my own switch. Ended up not using it because I switched to the pro grill, but the test images looked good on the stock deck. You will need to wire in the 12v for the camera to work. I’m not familiar with the beats sonic interface, but my thought was to power the camera only when in use off a front camera activation switch. If you wired it directly to the battery it would be a drain and I wouldn’t want things drawing power when not in use.
