Okay so guys, i finalyl recieved my thigns yesterday, and i've been doing reserach for the past 2 months... anyways this is how it went


i starrted by taking everything apart. got access to the nav box and i used the PnP doms unit to connect to it. this is what i did.

blue wire = used male and female connecters connnected it to Green reverse wire.
Green wire + 2 white wires + black ground wire for camera = connected it all to 1 washer and grounded them.
black dom's unit power wire = connected female and male up to cig lighter. connected it to red stripe wire.
black camera power wire = connected to a 5 amp fuse that came with the camera via female and male up to cig ligher connected to red stripe wire.

THIS IS WHAT WENT WRONG.. i reconnected the battery... i didnt reconnect the center console. i left it all unhooked.

I turned my car on and,... the nav screen was all light and i can barely see anything.. its scrolling up and down.. the image ont he screen... then my friend thats hepling me install siad he ahrd the 5 amp fuse " blow " heard a pop... and then when i tried connecting to the cig lighter ... apparently that blew too... i looked on the dom's unit red indicater and theres no light.. which means theres no poewr..


Please help me guys, i hae no clue what to do and im scared i damaged the vechicle.. i spent 500 on eveything and after 6 hours of installationg... i get this..

Thanks datmrman!,

My plan is to bring it to an AUdio shop tmr and see what they have to say about it.. Hopefully i did not BLOW the camera.. and more importantly.. my car will be o k.

 

bump..

any help please?

Well... heres what has happened. As of now, i have the dom's unit hooked up properly and i have no problem with the video 1 and 2.

However, the rest of my car is (#$#..ed...

- reverse lights don't turn on.
- signals don't turn on
- DRLs don't work.
- Power windows dont work
- Wipers don't work
- gauges don't work ( can't tell how fast i am goign. )

Those are all that i know of right now.

What i did wrong was GROUNDED the power wire for the camera, and connected power to the GROUND. Once i turned my ignition on, and threw it in reverse, this is where everything " blew "

What i did was hooked the camera up to video 1 of doms unit and used the switch, the camera is OK. however it does not switch over to the camera when i put it into video 2 because theres no power going to the backups..

I went out and bought a fuse tester, all fuses seem to be okay.

Is there ANYthing else i can do before i bring it to a shop and have them find out the issue for 85\H just to look at it.


thanks in advance.. any help is greatly appreciated =[

 

i wish i can help you if i've done this mod (which I don't have) myself, but i haven't....
most importantly i think you should've reconnected everything before you turned on your car...

 

check the under-hood fuses to see if any are blown. Also check the ones again in the fuse-box on the driver side, the under-hood ones have the DRL, power windows and other stuff.

How did you hook up dom's unit now, did you plug it into the cig lighter or what?

 

^^

Agree. Go though the fuses and replace what ever is blown.
