I have the same camera, but haven't installed it yet. How did you route it?

Here's some pics of my JVC installation and FULL TIME backup camera - I ran the input to an extra AV IN input on Head Unit.

The instructions call for backup camera to be connected to the reverse signal wire. I chose to have it on full time….then, that way you can see pickups try to pile drive into turns to follow you! Good times! Wait I OWN a pickup (however, I DO KNOW the difference in handling between a Box and a truck - some people apparently don't). I have almost witnessed 2 accidents - from IN FRONT!

Here is a shot through the rear window after console was painted and rear deck speakers were installed:


Here is a shot inside from the backup camera:


he wiring is not so easy but do-able.

Just take your time and do it right!

Here is the shot of the rear camera installed.


BTW, the bumperettes have been repainted to factory colors….the silver was a failed experiment.

Sorry, I had to blank out license #….I don't have a "cool" customized plate - like some folks!

Here's lookin' at ya!


Now you know what I mean when I say, "See Ya!" It isn't just decoration!
