TACO GARAGE - Any camera - anytime, plug and play, steering wheel controlled. 2020!

IIRC... you were going to hook up multiple (more than just front and rear) cameras? If you're going to use the 12vdc wires from the HU to power more than one camera I'd suggest connecting to the CS harness only ONCE, to extend that power to where there is more room to split off your wiring to multiple cams. It gets really crowded when you're trying to get the HU back into final position, and additional wires would make it even tougher.

 

Oh crap... I was planning on shoving almost everything behind the HU and dash... My initial intent was to splice the two camera 12V lines together, then once to the CS harness. I'm hoping I can somehow get enough space back there to work it out. Worst case scenario I'll have to extend my RCA cable so I can push it further down into the dash.

 

It's pretty tight back there. Plus, the HU has a cooling fan on the side of it... at least mine does. Someone in a recent post mentioned removing that foam stuff from the Germes harness and wrapping it with something else (tape?) so it would take up less space. I didn't do that... I just saw that post in the last week or two. Found the post.

This pic shows the foam that came on my harness. I'm wishing now that I had taken more/better pictures of the harness.

 

Fwiw I have a kicker key and the germes in there.

 

That's exactly what I have as well. Good idea on the re-wrap, but I don't have any of that material so that might be a pass on that for me. I'll figure it out somehow...

No idea what a kicker key is, but hopefully its larger than a relay. That and here's hoping that 14" of wire is enough to get from the lower trip panel to the CS harness.

 

It's about the size of a brick, little narrower and a little taller. TBH I still don't know what the cs is haha

 

CS is shorthand for camera solutions

 

I had to dig through this thread for it too, lol. Just like tpp4 said, its the "Camera Solutions".

Damn you're fast.

 

CAR Solutions!!!

 

Can't win em all. I'm going tp blame lack of caffeine on this one... that's a valid excuse right?

 

Also with regard to all of this... It may be that some of the HU's are a bit smaller than the others. Mine is the "Entune Premium JBL" for whatever that's worth, and may make for a tighter fit.

 

Whoops....

I can't, haha. Already had my caffeine, so I have to blame it on my ignorance.

 

I hope I have a smaller one, lol. I want to cram more shit behind the dash.

 

Order #5175

 

My mini amp fits back and to the driver's side, out of the way. Kinda by the 4wd selector.

 

Mine is the basic bitch model, and it's a tight fit. I basically just kept moving wires around until I got it to fit with minimal pressure

 

Yeah.. I think we did figure out that your HU was exceptional !!!

 

Ladies and Gentlemen, it lives!!!

 

Looks good, where did you mount your front cam?

 

In a really shitty spot. Top dead center of grille.
Unfortunately I didn't have much time/locations to put it in a better spot. I would have put it lower if possible, but since I have an aftermarket grille, the sensor is at the bottom, and I didn't have a good place in mind to put it on the lower portion of the bumper.
