Greetings! I'm Geofatboy. The Jeep Wrangler - it's a great vehicle.
Recreational - lots of fun, great in winter, great in summer. It does have a couple
design flaws. In the back here, the vision is very limited from the
driver's seat looking into the rearview mirror facing backward. Someone, children
could be playing behind you someone can pull out behind you and you can't see.
Unless your vehicle has a backup camera. So what I'm going to do right now I'm
going to show you how to install this backup camera. This is a Brand Motion and
my Jeep is a 2008 Wrangler Sahara Unlimited and it has the factory radio
with the navigation built in so I have the camera that corresponds to that to
those specs this is the Brand Motion nine zero zero two eight eight four
seven. There's a look at it. I'll put some links under the video just click where
it says "show more" and it'll take you directly to the cameras and some of the
other products shown in the video. This way if you want to pick up any of these
items it'll be nice and easy! On the outside you have the spare tire which
takes up a lot of vision from the front also the brake light and then you have
these hinges, hinge covers, and the windshield wiper here. Let's open the
vehicle up. Inside you have this windshield wiper cover for the rear
wiper and then you have your two rear head rests which also will block your
vision looking rearward. I'll take you through the whole process removing the
spare tire, installing the camera bracket, and then running the wire all the way
from the back here through the subwoofer, along the side, behind the dashboard, and
then into the factory radio. I'll also show you how to chirp the OBDM module
to activate the rear view camera on the factory radio. Here's everything the kit
comes with. This is the mounting bracket with the camera and then this little
bracket is adjustable here there's two nuts in the back you can adjust this so
you get proper vision out the back through your tire, through your rim, and
this will go alongside the vehicle from the rear all the way up to the front.
Once you get to the front that will plug into this power harness.
This is the 22 pin white connector with the RCA jack this is what will plug into
the factory radio, and this is the program module, this is what you'll plug
into your OBDM port and this will chirp or beep the horn in order to
program it to your radio. It says down here: not returnable if seal is broken so
I'd be sure that before you open this seal you're going to keep the product
and use it. It also comes with about 15 black zip ties and a an extension
bracket if you need it for the camera, and then these are three wheel spacers
that will go on the spare tire. There's always a little bit of nervous anxiety
before you start a project like this don't worry that's a good thing. As Rob
Schneider says: "You can do it!" Don't worry it's not that difficult. Its
time-consuming just I'll say this that I looked over the Brand Motion
instructions that come with the product and they're really not up to par. These
pictures look like they've been copied 50 times, they're black and white,
and it's really hard to see what's happening in these pictures. So we're
gonna go through this process I'm gonna put some good light on it and try to
show you everything to make it much easier so you can just follow along with
the video, do what I do, and complete it in a few hours. Oh by the way this
product the camera I have it does have the parking lines, the guide lines which
will guide you when you go into reverse. So every time you put your car in reverse
and you can see behind you, and if you feel nice and safe, you could say "Thanks
Geofatboy, I appreciate your help on this one!"
All right let's get started. The first step will be to remove the spare tire. if
you have a locking lug like this one you'll need the key for it. We'll start
with that.
Now that the spare tire has been removed you can install the bracket now. It says
on the instructions do not run the cable through the center of the bracket you
don't want it going through there and I could see why, if you go to remove your
wheel at a later date and you drop it off you're gonna chop the wire in half.
So you don't want to run it through there. You leave it up here for now. Now
let's open up the back door and remove this trim panel. I have a steel scraper,
they call for a plastic scraper but this is a metal scraper I just put
some painter's tape over it to protect the finish. So you can see what you have
here. Here's a spot where you can bring the cable through this round circle.
Let's see how we can get it through there. The bracket is on, it's loose but
it's on here. Let's unravel all this so we can fish it through. There's an
opening here where your taillight wire comes through that's where you want to
drop it through again you don't want to put it through the center of the bracket
here. This has a shroud over it, a plastic shroud, wire loom to protect the wires
from the elements outside which is good. So I've got the bracket here, cable
comes around, and I'm sure this will need to be adjusted later but I'm just going
to straighten it up for now. I presume it will be straight just like this.
So I'm just tightening that gently not all the way yet, it may require a little bit
of adjusting later. Okay the cable is through here now we want to take this
end and get it through the vent. There's a plastic vent inside here we want to
fish it through there to get it inside the rear compartment. I've got a piece of
stiff wire here that I'll use to fish it through the back door, you can use a coat
hanger, just cut it and use that. Now I've got the wire, the solid wire through the
air vent and into the back of the vehicle the back door. I'll form a hook on the
end of this wire just loop it around like that and then I'll take the end of
the cable that goes to the front and just loop it through here like this and
tape that up.
Now I'll fish this wire through it's a little tricky doing this, you want to
push and pull at the same time gently so that you can wind your way through the
obstacles that might be in there. Okay I've got it through so now I'll pull all
this wire all the way through to the inside. So the cable goes from the
bracket right here. Here's the camera eye. It goes from the camera, it's inside this
wire loom, and it goes down in there, and you can see the bracket inside there are
the plastic air vent. So we're inside there. Here's a look from the bottom and
there's the cable you can see it right here. It goes through that plastic vent
it comes out this hole right here and it's going to follow this factory wiring
across here, through the subwoofer, along the side and up to the front. The next
move is to take this cable and fasten it to the factory wiring so we'll use these
zip ties. We start on this end we'll get it just about where we need it and you
just slide it through the slot and pull tight these will only tighten one way.
I'm leaving it loose for now that first one, and we'll put another one here in
the middle.
Okay so it'll just follow that. You can tighten this up. Make sure that the wire
is snug coming through there. All right now with these zip ties, here's a trick
if you cut these, they're really sharp and you can cut your hand very easily on
the sharp edge. If you just grasp it with the tip of your lineman pliers and twist
it and just keep twisting till it breaks off the end is not sharp so if you rub
your hand against it you're not going to get cut. We're out of the woods back here
so we can reinstall this trim piece. Okay now we'll move on to the rear
compartment. Now let's remove the subwoofer. There's three bolts: top left,
bottom left, lower right, and let's pull back the subwoofer okay so you can see.
We have wiring here which is what we want to follow coming in and
there's wiring here so we'll get on the same path with these wires and take them
all the way to the front along the side here. Here's a look at the wiring. Some of
these connectors are quite thick, you could think about running them through
this but I don't believe this is thick enough to handle these wires with these
connectors so I'm gonna fasten it to the outside and run it along here following
the factory wiring from the subwoofer and the rear lights to the front along
the side along the right side of the vehicle. You can peel back this carpeting
so you can see these, find these wires, you can see where the factory wire comes in at.
So here's where we'll just follow this around and up to the front. When you
fasten these wires, make sure you leave a little bit of play so that when the
door swings it's not too tight. You need some slack in there. Here's the factory
wiring that we'll be following we're gonna fasten to this to get all the way
to the front. I tuck it underneath so you can't even see it, it'll be hidden that
way. Now we can twist off our zip ties.
Here's a look at the wiring. It comes through the plastic trim plate. I have it
zip tied to this existing factory wiring. It makes a loop here. Again - make sure you
leave enough so the door can open and close. And it follows this factory wiring
right here, and then attach it to this wire loom with the zip ties and we'll
work our way behind this carpeting all the way up to the front. So you can
replace your carpeting now. And then reinstall the subwoofer.
Before we go any further up towards the front let's finish off the back. There's
three of these push nuts they're called, or push washers. What they do is they
just retain, their like retaining washers. They keep the bracket in place. So let's
install those. And I think a good way to do it is just start it like that. Just
get it so it's on there, because these are really tight. They don't thread on
but if you can push them on hard enough they can at least get started up there.
And I think this might work. I have a rubber mallet and this is a 5/8 deep
well socket. Let's try and see if we can get them to go in that way... Perfect!
It goes in almost all the way, it will take a little bit with a screwdriver.
Just to seat them all the way, you can use a screwdriver. We can tighten these
nuts. it's a phillips screwdriver in the front
and it is a 3/8 nut in the back. So just hold that nut and tighten this down so
that they're nice and snug. Now we can reinstall the spare tire.
You can see that the spare tire is now mounted and directly through the center
hole the camera protrudes and it's sticking out a little bit but I think
that's good because you want it to be able to look down and see something
that's close to the rear of the vehicle. I just want to remove this paper. It kind of
draws attention to it. We don't want that. We want it to be unobtrusive, not as
noticeable, inconspicuous. so there we go we're done in the back and the side.
We'll work our way to the front now.
Here's a better look at the camera.
Here's our wire coming along the rear. We're going to pull up this carpeting,
and we're going to fasten it to this factory wiring harness and get it past
the rear passenger seat. Now we can remove our zip ties. So here's the wire
that follows the factory wiring loom right along here, and it's zip tied
to the loom so we can replace this carpeting. Put it back in, we've got it
all the way down to the side of the passenger seat. Okay here's the side of
the passenger seat and you can see that the carpeting is here and the wire is
tucked neatly underneath, the carpeting comes all the way down here and here is
where it comes out. Now we're working our way up into the front driver's
compartment. So we need to remove these tabs this tab right here, that one, that
little black tab. This one and this one. So we can remove that and run the cable
through there. I'll remove this tab here this is by the rear passenger seat.
Okay I was able to get the bracket off here, and then the two up in the front.
I'm gonna enlist my solid wire again and use it as a fish to come back here
and get these and pull them up towards the front. I've got the cable tied onto
the solid wire. I'll pull the rest of the wire through towards the front. Close
this back up. Okay now we've worked our way up from the backseat area to the
front seat area here's the plastic strip trim strip. It's pulled away and then you
can see the wire loom that's where our wire comes through from the back going
up toward the front so we just need to get it from here up into the front
compartment underneath the dashboard. I have these left over from replacing a
couple of bicycle tire inner tubes these are perfect for sliding under here, but
you can use a scraper as well and just slide it along here. I've got it pulled
away far enough where I can just run the wire through there and up to the front.
Now I'm pulling the wire along the front door panel up to the front underneath
the dashboard.
You've got it all the way up here to the very front right, as far to the front as
I need to go, right next to the factory wire loom. Here's the wire. I found
a little soccer ball underneath the trim. It's amazing what you find! Pop those
back in place. Those are good to go. Now we're ready to
attack the front dashboard area. Now I'm in the front of the vehicle, we're gonna
remove this portion of the dash so we have access to the back of the radio so
we can complete the wiring that needs to be done there. So take the plastic insert
tool and start up at the very top. Just put it behind there and pry across and
slide like that and just pick up on this area and then bring it all the way up
and pull forward and you can see that there's a little wiring harness here I
don't think we need to remove this we don't have anything to do there but that
does expose these bolts right here. Two bolts one on the upper left
upper right of the radio. Now we'll come down to the bottom. Take the plastic
insert and this very bottom plastic plate that's right below the 12-volt
power outlets. I'm using the flat scraper on this one.
Move that out of the way and that exposes the other two bolts down at the
bottom here lower left and lower right. Now let's remove the four screws upper
left. It's an 8 millimeter screw. I'll place them in the cup holder so they
don't get lost. Then there's two down here at the bottom. Okay now we will pry
off from the top.
Now I'm gonna put the key in just so I can put it down into low one so I can get
some room to pull this away.
So now I've got this turned off to the side it's out of the way. We can get to
the radio we're gonna remove these four bolts upper left upper right lower left
lower right from the radio and set those in the other cup holder. I should be able
to pull the radio out now alright okay. We've got it out far enough where we can
see what we're doing back here which is great! Now I will bring the wires up from
the lower area to behind the radio. I'm going to remove the glovebox, all you do
is push in and squeeze. There's a couple of tabs that lock in
so once you get beyond that you can pull it right out. Now we'll work on getting
the wires from the lower portion through behind the glovebox, to the radio area.
Okay now connecting the wires. You have the power harness which is right here.
It's got a yellow and black jack on it and this yellow one but then the power
wires are black and red you have one black wire, one red wire. And then you
have these two power outlets down here. This one is labeled "power outlet" this
one doesn't have any label on it. You want to use the one on the left. On the
back of it there's a wire that's blue with the red stripe and then there's a
black wire with a white stripe. So you want to connect the red wire from this
power harness to the blue wire with the red stripe as I did right here. And then
you want to connect the black and white wire to the black wire from the power
harness. What I did was I snipped the wires to cut them in half and then I
stripped them back and I used this barrel type connector this is a Sta-Kon
or Panduit is the company that makes it. It's just hollow and it has metal on the
inside. You slide the wires, I twisted the three wires together, and slid them inside,
and then I crimp it with this pliers.
Just put it in here like this and for insulated you just squeeze it down and
that will crimp it. And it's a nice mechanical tight fitting for those wires.
Better than using a wire nut. So that's the back of the power outlet, we'll just
plug that back in. And we're going to reassemble everything. This is the
chassis harness, this is the one that comes from the camera. This goes all the
way around from the front, to the side, to the back, and that attaches to the camera.
So you're going to take this one and you're going to plug it directly into
the power harness that you just spliced into the back of the 12-volt outlet. And
then you're going to plug the yellow to yellow and you're going to plug the
black to black just like that. And then you will take this remaining yellow wire
it's the one that's longer. These two match up, they're the exact same size.
They go together like this and I'm going to tape these together so they don't
come apart. And you'll take this yellow one, and plug this into the 22 pin white
connector which is right here. It has a black connector on the end of it so you
connect that like that. I'm going to tape this up as well. Then this 22 pin
connector will plug into the back of the radio. I've got everything plugged in. Now you
want to go ahead and reassemble everything in the reverse operation of
how you disassembled everything. The way you took it apart you're gonna put
it back together the same way. Here's the back of the radio. Here's the white pin,
the 22 pin connector. It's got the black and red wire coming off of it with the
RCA jack. On the other side there's the RCA jack
plugged into the the black connector, and I just put tape on it so it doesn't come
apart. And then down here is your cigarette
lighter the back of your power outlet.
With the black and red wire attached. Now you can reinstall the four bolts on the
radio: one, two, three, and four, down at the bottom. Tighten those up. Okay those four
are tight. Now we install the instrument panel. So again, the wire goes along the
floorboard here, and it comes up underneath in here. Here is my wire, this
one, so it comes out of the corner and then it goes up behind the glove box,
to the back. I have it twist tied to
the wires, the existing wires up here. I
have it tied to those wires, and then it goes up in the corner, and it comes out
behind the radio. You'll find hollow spots where you can fish the wires
through. There's plenty of little spots where you can sneak through. Now you can
go ahead and reinstall the glove box. It's got two little hooks on the bottom
here that fit onto these little round points here. And then it just rolls
upward, and squeeze the sides and it latches the two little protrusions, they
will latch behind. There you go okay now it's the moment of
truth! We're gonna open this up. It says not returnable if seal is broken but
we're gonna do it. We have faith that we installed everything properly. So I'm
going to open this up and remove this. This is what will flash or program the
factory radio to accept the reverse camera. And remove this, another sticker
it says warranty void if removed. And I'll remove that. So I have the module
here. What I'll do is turn the key on, you don't start the car, but you
turn it all the way to the position right before start. Wait for all the
beeping to stop and all the chimes to stop. Then you take this module and you
plug it right into the OBD port. I've pulled Mine out so you can see it better.
It's right here just line these up and the horn should honk. You plug it in and
leave it in until you hear the honk. "Beep Beep" There you go! You heard the honk now you
can pull it out.
Now we'll test the system. Okay let's start the car and test it.
Step on the brake, put your parking brake on, step on the brake and put it in
reverse.
Oh! look at that! Beautiful! I can see behind me, and I can see the guidelines
on both sides. It's a thing of beauty!
Success, the sweet smell of success, don't you love it?!
It takes about one second to kick in but you can see back there which is really
nice.
Here we are looking from the exterior of the vehicle. Here's a look at the camera.
You can see it hiding in there. It's pretty inconspicuous you have to kind of
look forward to see it which is good.Okay now we're gonna do another test.
We're gonna show you how the reverse backup camera works in this 2008 Jeep
Wrangler. So my assistant is going to place it from park into reverse. All
right go ahead. (Assistant) "Tada!" look at that. look how cool that is.
It's a lovely snowy day in Chicago, and you can see grid lines
behind for parking, and a clear view of the vehicle behind us.
