i have this same question, im doing this mod this weekend with the 105 degree camera.....this should allow me to see the cars in the lanes next to me as well.....and i actually have the monitor in my rearview mirror.....

AS FOR THE REVERSE IMAGE....my pioneer HU (avic-n1) was designed for rearview cam install....so with the push of a button in the settings menu, the reversed image can be flipped back so it appears normal on my screen everytime.....i believe with the avic we can also set it to only go on with my reverse light, or push "rear" on the unit to see back there, or even both.....so im gonna really have fun with this mod....ill post pics of my car this weekend with the rearview monitor and the cam........


NISMOTIC, TELL ME HOW U TOOK THE KEYHOLE OUT OF THERE PLEASE....

 

First thing I'd do...if I were you is relax...breathe, stretch, shake, let it go.

Next...try popping your trunk and looking behind the mat/cover. There is a little retainer clip that holds the trunk lock in place. Slide that towards the drivers side...it will pop off and then the key hole starts moving...next disconnect the linkage for the lock...and WAH LAAAH you've got the key hole out.

next time...why not look there and see what it takes to do something as simple as this.

 

uhm, havent had the time to, i figured i would just ask first, its actually easier......thanks anyway Ma$e

 

For the same reason that AMBULANCE is reversed on the front of ambulances. It reads forward in your rear view...

 

you can get this onefor $52 shipped. this si the 53 degree camer. The groip deal is for the 105 degree whihc wil of course give you alot better wide angle veiw of the road. the 105's go for $70 shipped but in the group deal section their is a a deal for the 105 degree cams for $60 shipped. hit it up if you want one. there are 4 spaces left.

 

if its reversed put the camera in the opposite direction so you could see your subs

 

i want one but i gotta get that microscreen first its a good deal he has folks but people mess it up when they dont pay

 

thats a good idea, so u can can see if someone gets inside ure trunk and steals ure subs

 

Very good mod for Max with a 7" TV. For others who don't have one, sucks. Maybe I'll hook it up to one of those portable 7 inch portable dvd player.

 

thats hot nismotic...nice istall

 

Very nice work on the key hole, my dad has a camera in his Acura MDX and I think its the coolest, bravo

 

My mistake, I ment to ask "How do you get rid of the keyhole, not shave the trunk from Nissan and Maxima"

 

<---envious of your new toys...god damnit

 

he answered the question above.....

AND ATTENTION PLEASE....i just tried to install this cam and it has red output rca and a yellow input rca end......my headunit is avic n1 and it has an rca input specifically for back up cameras i gave power to red, and plugged in yelllow and black screen,, help please

 

My screen also has the reverse function, but be careful, reversing the picture will make it as though something that appears to be on the right side of your car is actually on the left. That could be dangerous. It's safer to just accept that words are going to backwards...

 

How much did Don charge you for the install?

 

you'll have to PM him to get a quote.

 

nismotic, did u read my post? can u help me?

 

ahhh sweet little mod...got try this after the projectors go in.

How long did this take to complete?

 

I just ordered myself one of these, is there a write up available? And is it possible to put into a visor lcd?

 

IM NEVER GETTIN HELP AM I? LOL ive been asking this question since hte first GD, anbd i realize its hte best way to get ignored on here.....ive been asking for a little help on install, but never get it...

 

you got to remeber not many of us have this....when i get mine from the group deal....i will play with it alitle and see what can come of these, but not many of us have exspeciance in these little cams......and the 4th gen forum just sucks anyways....

 

First off, relax. People may not be answering you because either they dont have it, or dont know what you're talking about. Nobody is ignoring you just because. There's a reason for it.


I read your post and was confused on your setup. My camera only had a black wire (for power, which was hooked up to a 12v source), and the yellow wire (picture), which ran directly from the camera to my TV. Im not sure why you have a red connection there.


I had a question about the 12v source and directly emailed the guy. He emailed me right away. Did you get the same one as me (50 degree) or the other one? (105 degree)? Try emailing him to get help on the setup.

 

Mini-Write UP

1.) Uninstall the trunk lock by unscrewing and un-tabing
2.) be careful and measure the size of the keyhole, and use dremel or bit to shave a little off in order to make it fit (you wont need too much room)
3.) slide it in, and find a 12v source for your main power
4.) Run yellow rca cable to your tv, or some sort of source.

As Maxima polak stated, most difficult part was a little dremmeling and hiding the wires. Don did my setup because I was too much of a bish, so i give everyone here respect for trying it on their own.

 

i am relaxed, first off, second of all i got the 105 degree cam...all that stuff is easy, i did as u stated, maybe the cam is screwwed up....which i doubt, but ill contact the site i got it from....

 

also i have one of those htings that you put on a drill, and it makes holes bigger....that would help alot rather thana dremel....but a dremel could work wonders as well

 

well, basically, i ordered the 105 degree camera and its not working, my cam might be defective.....i cant see how i wired it wrong...maybe im giving it TOO much power? i just gave it power from my 15a trunk release to test....nuttin but black screen wit some white lines.....

 

ok, as far as removing the keyhole, those instructions were d!ck, remove that metal tab, and then disconnect the linkage, i slid the tab, it came out, now how do i take off the linkage for the lock? u just breezed over the hardest part...ive got cam wired and nowhere to mount it, with a key lock thats sliding back and forth.....

 

Didn't see these last post....man people need to just relax and look before posting...oh well glad you got it installed

 

looks cool. nice job

 

Curious, for those with a trunk mounted battery, how do you guys open your trunk with the battery disconnected (or dead)? You guys rigged a manual release?

 

dont shave ur trunk, keep "maxima". Ur the reason I made my trunk that way

 

Ok, I am starting to get just a touch frustrated. I am trying to release my key-lock on my trunk so I can put my rear-view camera in.

I have been yanking and pulling and twisting that darn black retainer clip towards the drivers side as people wrote above. It is now twisting on it's axis but it's not budging a mm in the direction of the drivers side .

Any suggestions to try and get it to unlodged?

thanks!

 

im new to the hole trunk cam thing ! is there a way to record footage and then edit it on the pc ? you could toss this in to a drag racing video. have someone in the stands and edit in some trunk cam !!!

 

0oh man that was a beyotch for me to get off, i got fed up and pulled and broke a piece that held a rod in place....i thought i screwed up, but everything still worked out theres some kid of yellow, neon, greenish lookin clip that holds a piece in as well take some pliers and go to work on it...theres more than just sliding the clip...u have to pull those rods off this plastic piece...

 

if i get mine installed before the GLD track meet in april, we will have plenty of raw footage to do this. i think all you would need to do is have a video output to the computer.

 

Any way you can take some pics of said plastic piece and rods? Also, that neon clip you were talking about! Thanks!
