Has anyone tried to see if there is a 3 way switch available. I really like DCC's switch although I would require 2 switches if I wanted 2 video sources to my Nav. I was thinking if you had a 3 way switch would you be able to connect both the switch from doms unit as well as the reverse ground. If this works then in the same switch you would be able to control Video source from Navigations Unit, Dom Video1 and Dom Video 2.

Right in the middle of a rearview camera install. Camera all installed, Dom's PNP box all grounded....here comes the problem. Dom's PNP harness has an additional wire going nowhere.



WHere should I be connecting this. Any help much appreciated.

Put that on a ground... I just put all my grounds together and then put on factory ground point.

Thanks a ton BigB2k5 ...looks like camera should be up and running shortly

netinfiniti

Camera is up and running picture is great with no noise BUT the image is NOT MIRRORED. Ebay Wendy says it can't be the camera as they only sell backup cameras that reverse the images by default. Says the converter or nav unit is re-reversing the image. Have to hookup a TV to the video now to verify is that's true.....

netinfiniti

OK hooked up a portable TV direct to the camera before Dom's converter no mirror image there too. Obviously it's the camera's problem, awaiting a reply from eBay Wendy, has anyone else had the same problem? Thanks.

I don't understand. Why would you want the image to be backwards?

The picture on the Nav screen should be what the camera is actually seeing, right?

If you had an obstacle on the right rear, don't you want it to appear on the screen as right rear?

I just paid for mine today so expect to get it soon... We shall see...

netinfiniti

Could be a freak case with my camera not behaving as it should. Good luck with yours.

It's very unnerving when your mirror is showing something and the nav screen the exact opposite. Stuff to my left appears on the right hand side of the nav screen. Picture quality is very good though. No word yet from Wendy

netinfiniti

OK after a lot of back and forth messages with Wendy with her offering to take it back. The latest is she contacted her vendor and they have advised me to disconnect the Green wire to reverse the image.

BigB2k5 I guess when you get your camera, connect red wire to power (reverse light or fuse box up front), black to ground and leave green open.

DCC

netinfiniti,

I don't recall my camera having the green wire option. The new cameras that wendy is selling must have that option now. You're the first that I've heard with this problem. Glad everything is sorted out now though. Also, I don't remember having an extra black wire on the PNP harness but it could be that I just don't remember. Glad everything has worked out for you...hope my DIY helped you out...

netinfiniti

DCC Can't thank you enough, had your and KennyC's threads printed out and by my side when I was doing the install. The information was invaluable !!!

Apparently, even Wendy was unaware of the green wire which I promptly grounded without any special instructions. After agreeing to replace the camera, she then had her supplier inform her to leave the green wire unconnected.

At a client now, first thing when I pull into the garage tonight (rather this morning) I will disconnect the green from ground and verify. She says that she just tried it with her new camera stock and it works.

Thanks again not just for the Dom PNP install thread but your other useful nuggets scattered all round the forums.

netinfiniti

Green wire disconnected - the camera works fine.. what a relief. Thanks for the support guys.

Glad it works...I will be ordering a camera from Wendy soon.

I was looking at this thread and I notice that you said to unplug the factory wire on the right. But when I tried to do my own install the wire is on the left. The right one had no wires connecting to it on my factory DVD unit. Even when I looked at your pictures your unit looks exactly like mine. There are no wires connecting to the right socket. On mine/your unit there is a smaller set of wires then the 20-pin wires then a blank socket. Am I wrong or should I connect Dom's wire to the empty socket on the right? Refer to the 3rd pic on your 1st post.

PeteThaPitbull

question, on the PNP harness where the 2 clips plug into your existing navi DVD-rom, where does that extra black wire go? ground? how many wires altogether should be grounded?

datmrman

ground.

I'd suggest you reread the first post again and make sure your connections are correct.

PeteThaPitbull

kk got it, thanks datmrman

Hey guys, i have been floating in the background for awhile and i am impressed on the amount of team work you guys display.

I have an issue with the DVD NAVI. I am only seeing 1 connection that has the 20 pin. If im reading right there are 2 and we are to remove the one on the right and replace it with DOMs and insert the one pulled out into the 20 pin harness from Doms.

Am i reading this wrong? here is the back of mine. Also putting in the cam, media gate, making a fiberglass enclosure for a 10" rf p3s running a 300.1 mono rf amp sould do the trick. here are a few pics, i was going to show you all when its done, have a few more stages,

Also runninf a laptio w video switch from doms video outoput w a scan conv,

neway, im into this kinda thing since i was knee high

BTW i have a 05 TL.

thanks, patrick

FYI...for all you NEWBS to backup cameras...

Don't hook a constant power supply to the camera. Make sure you use the positive wire from one of the reverse lights. This way the camera is only on when you are in reverse. If the camera is on when you are driving then it can and probably will build up moisture from the circuit in the camera. I just had to send a camera back due to this. Use that method or put a toggle switch on it if you are interested in watching the people behind you when you drive! lol.

I just ordered my smoked chrome piece from a 07 TL Type S that has the notch cut out for the camera already. I will take pics when it arrives.

xen-cuts

But aren't you supposed to seal the camera with silicone when you receive it? I read that you are supposed to put clear silicone all around. I think that is in the photos at the start of this thread. Plus, now lots of people are putting a toggle switch so they can use this while driving if they want. I guess that toggling doesn't require constant power, right?

Cutting out a step is a good idea, even if it's an easy step. Do you happen to have the part number for this???

I need help from someone who can tell me how to do the wiring on this camera. I want to have a toggle switch to on/off this thing AND I want it to be plugged to the reverse lights. (I guess I'll spit the power onto the reverse lights and run the other wire up to the front of the car to a toggle switch. But where do I get power for the toggle?) Any help will be greatly appreciated. Also where do I run a wire around the car to get back up to the fuse box area?

Patrick, I cannot understand what you are talking about. Too much cell phone short speak...!

Sorry was real late last, it looks like the same issue that Mo-Pho is having. Per the instructions in the post. We are to remove the factory 20 pin connector from the far right port. Well i dont have any connector plugged in that port. it looks to be a 14 pin connector.

Right now i have power and have the toggle in place, working on the back up cam as we speak.

im just stuck on the factory plug on the far right port.

any help you could give me would be appreciated

I know this is an old thread but I have a question on this topic.

I want to do this mod but wondered if i have to change my back-up cam from the factory unit to work with the nav2dvd unit?

You already have the backup cam so you do not need to touch that part of the install. Just need to hook up the 20 pin connector and run the wires.

I need to get off my ass and get mine installed.

This may be bringing a thread back from the dead, but i was hoping someone could re-post the pictures from the beginning. Apparently the link died.

What pics do u need? I have a few from my install that I never posted. Tell me what you're looking for and I'll see what I got.

brianmp007

Im looking for pictures on how to get to the cig lighter so I can install my remote wire. Im installing an amp and sub and was just looking for pics on how to get to the wire.

Sorry, I never tapped the cig lighter for my install.
From what I understand, you have to take apart the center console a bit to get to it. I can post scans of the service manual, if you'd like.

Can someone resize these pics?
