Anytimebackupcamera.com Install- Front and Rear Cameras

I'm not really familiar with the ABC system, I have the Germes (Car Solutions) camera setup. Is your radio like the one in an SR?
If so, check out this thread and other posts by @tpp4 from April/May. Maybe there will be some clues to help you.

EDIT: I looked back at some of your older posts, and it looks like your prior camera did actually work at some point. So the info I linked may not help since it's likely not an issue of 12vdc power not getting to the camera.

 

@oostroma Anymore info on this? How it works and where I might be able to get one?

He is the designer and whom I bought the PCB from. I'm almost ready to install. Just need to get front and rear cameras installed first. My 4th camera will be Wi-Fi connected to the rear of my pop-up camper.

 

Thanks! How does it select the cameras?

 

His camera PCB utilizes the ABC harness and the Front/ Rear switch. Each time you click the Rear you get the next camera in the series. Him an I are working on an LED display that gets installed beside the switch so you can see what camera you triggered without looking at the screen.

 

Thanks, but I live in AZ

 

Can someone assist me on the install. Everything seems to be plugged in except for a black and 'pink?' wire that came through the engine bay connected to the front camera.

Rear camera is working, switch is all lit up. Screen just turns to black when switching to front camera.

Seems like ABC switched up their product but didn't update the site or send any instructions. My RCA wires don't have a positive cable like all the other install directions and videos I'm seeing.

Picture below are the wires attached to the RCA that came from the engine bay connected to the front camera. They're located behind the navi screen with only about a foot to play with

 

I suspect the short red or pink cable attached to the RCA video cable you are referring to is a "+" connection.

 

Refresh, I uploaded one right after posting.

 

I refreshed once I saw your refresh...too funny.
Note, when I received the cameras for my ABC mod I bench tested before I started running cables. I try to do this with all my electrical mods. That way if something is faulty it occurs on my bench, not in the truck when everything is taken apart.

 

Lol. On the same page.

So if that pink wire is a positive then I'm assuming wire it back to the engine bay and add a fuse?
Black stays grounded.

Or is there another way.

 

The camera should only be on when you are switching to that video source. I have heard of them burning out if left on all the time. Yes, always add a fuse. In this case i think the camera only draws a few amps.
If you can't connect it that way then at least connect it to the accessory feed from the fuse box so it is on only when the truck is on.

 

See post 897 on page 45 of this thread for help. that will tell you were to connect the wires and why you may have a black screen. It includes pics of what plug goes where.

To follow up, I think that red wire goes to the two green wires, one from the relay and one from the switch... See my picture (crappy) for assistance?

Edit I see you have a 2019, My info is for the 2020 so it may or may not be of assistance...

 

Hi folks,

If anyone can help me I'd appreciate it very much. I'm using the CarSolutions kit, but with the "TopTierPro" camera since I have an '18 OR (better grill fitment per other members here). I'm not using an external switch.

Is this diagram the proper way to connect it, or do I even need to hook up the red/black "power supply"?

Thanks a ton!

 

I fixed it for you. This guy is saying you may need to tie the "camera end" red wire (that I said to insulate) to the red wire on the other RCA connector (as you originally showed it). If your camera doesn't power up the way I showed it, then you can connect those two wires. In either case, the black wire from that second RCA connector doesn't need to connect to anything.

 

Two years on, any issues with TSS since install?

 

I'm going to be completely honest I did not look through all 57 pages but would anyone know if this works with the Alpine Halo 9

 

Looks like Alpine has their own device for that. Might be a better solution than this

it seems like i would still need to purchase a camera to run from the front to the camera switcher. Any ideas where to get just a front camera ?
