Electrical: - Reversing camera

8BOP · Nov 11th, 2019, 22:12

Can someone help me with this.
I have a v60 auto, 2017. I have tried to install a reversing camera I bought on line. It said it was for the sensus model. Anyway all wired up as I thought. Reversing light to front, rca connected in to fakra in radio unit. No other place to put it. On the unit end of rca is the other positive wire. I couldn’t find the reverse wire in the unit ,so ran a wire back to reverse light. This gave me power at the front, but no camera picture on the monitor. No camera info or even mentioned in the menu. My car, nav, radio ....... where do I find the camera section.
Also , Why won’t it show a picture.

Does it have to be programmed into the car to work?
Maybe worth phoning volvo and asking them, maybe able to just do a software update if that's the case.

Thank you for your reply.
I spoke with someone at Volvo garage and as it’s not a Volvo camera, they couldn’t help me. The quote me £1200 for a camera to be installed. Hence me going to ebay. It sounded easy connect at lights and at radio. I might just strip it all out. I’m getting fed up trying to get it working.
Thanks again.
