so..yeah ..how do i get oine of those ?? i need a reverse activated negative source to activate my camera...any ideas where a good source would be ?? i was thinking to get it from the reverse lights but i didnt want to drag that from all the way back there to the front ...i need one by the front console please.

Thanks

Luigi

 

How about the fuse box???

 

Why don't you just bypass it and have so you can turn it on/off whenever you want? That's what I did...

 

from the fuse box ?? ummm i didnt know that one...is there a reverse activated negative in there ?? can you please give me some hints ?? thanks...ill look into it though.

Luigi

 

well, yeah i thought of that but i just dont want 300 switches...i already have

*the switch for the navigation to video
*switch for my strobes
*switch for my LED underbody kit
*switch for my neon underbody kit...i got this one first, my front tube broke so i replace the whole thing with a new LED kit till the neon goes bad..it wasnt my intention to have two sets !!
besides i would like the camera to go on automatically and not me having to put the car in reverse, then pause to switcht the camera on the move on...yeah i know is not all that but i think it is more neat is it goes on by itself...

thank you for the sugestion though...taken into account..

Luigi

 

You shouldn't have to add another switch...what head unit are you using? I was thinking that, like mine, you can have it hooked into the HU? But again not sure of your entire set up...

 

i have the stock navigation system...sorry i shoulda mentioned that before... yeah i have the stock navugation with an adapter which allows me to have video input to the nav screen...for the ps2 or any other video input i have a swith but for the backup camera i need a ground source or...a switch.

thanks.

Luigi

 

Got it makes sense now...so as for your orig question I'm not really sure!!
Good luck!

 

lol...thanks.

Luigi

 

sooo...anyone??

Luigi

 

Possibly ask a friendly installer?

 

I don't know why you need a negative switching reverse but, in the driver's kick panel there is a green wire with a white stripe. This is your POSITIVE reverse signal. I would just ground the camera and use this wire to turn the camera on. Now if you really need a negative signal use this wire and wire up a relay to change it to negative.

Good luck....make sure you test the wire before you tap into it!

 

PS - It's in the big harness that goes to the rear of the car.

 

exactly what rabenoja said.
easiest and quickest way to do it.
you have the pos wire... if you need a neg wire, simply connect the pos wire to a relay and connect one end of the switched side to ground and the other to the - input.

 

jajaja where do u find those ?? jajaja,,,just joking...yeah i think i would but i wanted to ask fellow maxima owners first.

Luigi

 

Thanks...sounds good...
