    Default Installing Wireless Reverse Camera.

    Hi Everyone,

    I purchased a gps unit which comes with a wireless reverse camera.
    I need help installing the camera.
    The unit is here:
    7" GPS HD CAR NAVIGATION+WIRELESS REVERSE CAMERA+8GB | eBay

    I live in maidstone and would really be thankful if someone could guide me through installing it, I can do it myself just need help from someone who is experienced.
    I'am happy to come down to your place or vice-versa just to make sure I'am doing the right thing.

    The car I have is a Holden Berlina VE.

    Appreciate all the replies.

    what part are you having trouble with? the listing has instructions.

    . Just unscrew your number plate
    2. Align the holes of the wireless camera to the existing number plate holes
    3. Using the original number plate screws, screw fix camera on the top bit of the number plate
    4. Wire the power cable of the wireless camera to the nearest reverse light, it is where the reverse camera and the built-in wireless transimtter gets the power from. Wiring is simple, RED to RED, BLACK TO BLACK.
    5. Let's move to the driver seat: Connect the wireless receiver to the GPS (AV cable and power cable) on one end and the car charger on the other end.
    6. The GPS will automatically switch to reversing screen when your car is in "R" gear
    7. How does it work?
    When a car is in "R" reversing gear, the two little bright reverse lights at the back of the car are ON. The wireless transmitter and the reverse camera immediately receives power and start transmitting camera signal to the air. The wireless receiver which hook up the GPS and car charger pick up the signal. It tells the GPS to switch automatically to GPS's AV channel: reversing screen in this case.

    See it sometimes helps if you read the instructions if they are that simple.

    I would not have been able to help you but those instructions seem fairly easy to follow if they were in front if you

    I read the instructions, all I need to know is which cable is the reverse light?, can someone take a picture of their car and highlight the wires I need to cut, can this be done witheout cutting the wires?

    Thanks again for all the help.
