First, I want to thank you for watching my previous video on Installing a 7inch Head Display in an old Van. Today, we’re taking it to the next level by installing a backup camera and finishing up all the buttons.
In this episode, I am continuing on the last video project, Installing a 7inch Head Display in an old Van. Today we Install the Backup Camera and button everything (well mostly everything) up. Besides the installation process, I also want to mention that it took about 4 hours to complete in real-time. To make it more engaging for you, I condensed it down to 20 minutes by high-speeding some of the simpler tasks.
However, what’s equally important is that we had a small issue with the cable from the camera to the head unit being too short. It would have been fine in most modern cars, but this giant 1997 Chevy Van was a bit bigger than the cable was ready for. Luckily, I managed to fix it by splicing it together and making sure everything is secure.
Furthermore, we also installed a front camera that remembers the time with the hot battery wire added, which is very useful for navigation and safety purposes. Now we can integrate our phones into the 7inch head unit, allowing us to display maps safely and efficiently.
In conclusion, I’m happy to say that we’ve completed all the necessary installations and the van is now fully equipped with a backup camera, front camera, and 7inch head unit. Thank you for watching, and don’t forget to like and subscribe for more DIY projects!
