I have an Accord with the factory navigation system, and I hooked up the camera like was said in this thread. However, it stopped working.

I have an AVelectronic converter, and everything I thought was working. I took pictures of my connections. I'm going to assume that no connections for the original ground and power came loose, as they were pretty secure when originally connected.

Image

The above picture shows that there are three wires coming from the AVelectronic unit: the red is power, the black is ground, and the blue to for the reserse camera power wire, which also happens to be red (from the reverse camera). In other words, the blue wire from the AVelectronic unit is connected to the red power wire from the reverse camera.


Image

The above picture shows the black (ground) wire to the reverse camera. This was not hooked up when it was last working. Do I need to hook this to the ground (black wire) of the AVelectronic unit, as shown in the first picture?


Image

This picture shows the blue wire from the AVelectronic unit going to the red power wire of the reverse camera. The red power wire from the reverse camera is then connected to a green wire of the reverse lights.



Image

This picture shows that the red power wire from the AVelectronic unit is connected to the clear power wire, which runs to the inside of the car. I assume that this is still connected. I tested this with a voltmeter, and got 9.71 Volts. See that green wire there? That's from the reverse camera. Is that supposed to be connected to anything? Last time I had this working, it was not connected to anything...



Image

This shows all the wiring that I have. Nothing too exciting here. I should mention this is a Wendy's reverse camera from eBay.


Image

This last picture shows the closeup of the green wire from the Wendy's reverse camera. Like I asked before, is this supposed to be connected to anything? Also, is the yellow wire coming from the AVelectronic unit supposed to be connected to anything for the reverse camera to work? I think the instruction manual said for that to be connected to the handbrake or something.
 
With all due respect, I NEVER want my Accord to have wiring that looks like that.

:lmao::lmao::lmao:


Good luck
 
Honestly, wish i can help, but this is not a factory setup question, so you may have to wait for someone that might know about the currently device your using. Give it some time.
 
I think he was referring to the use of speaker running to that red fused power wire with a simple twist connection (no butt joint, no solder, no tape). That needs to be removed and properly done with wire/connections made for the task. The jacketing material on speaker wire is not made for power draw and can melt easily, not to mention its a waste of money to use compared to the right size correct wire.
