    Best backup camera install

    This is what it should look like when you are done, and these are the brass pieces I was referring too. Edit: you will need to cut back just a little further than what I pictured in order for it to open and close the window properly. You will need to cut 2 more tumblers off than what is...

    Best backup camera install

    Here comes the fun part lol. You need to put the keyed part back inside the housing and measure about how far camera will fit back in the housing. Then take the keyed part back out and cut it in about that spot. I cut mine at about the 2nd slot back. It would also be a good idea to remove all...

    This is about what it should end up looking like. You want the camera to sit about that far inside the housing to allow the push botton cover to fit back over properly. In the above pics those were the 2 different dremel bits I used.

    Next you will need to dremel out the bigger end of the housing until the camera fits inside. You don't want to go too much so it still fits kind of snug and you don't have to go real far inside the piece. This is a time consuming process because you will have to keep checking the fit. I would...

    These 3 parts are the important ones. And they all separate from each other. The 2 skinnier pieces can be a little difficult to separate but they will come apart.

    Once you get it all apart and laid out, you can pull the cap off the end (the piece you push to open the window)

    Best backup camera install

    After you get the white piece out you can pull the clip out that holds back the spring (easiest way is to slide a pair of skinny needle nose pliers inside the piece and push down on the spring to take the pressure off of it.) this is what you will end up with once everything comes apart, and...

    You are going to want to start by taking the very back piece with the lock ring off and pull off the inside white plastic piece

    Lmao I'm trying I promise! I have the more time consuming part of it done already so once I can get back to it, it should go pretty quick.

    Ah man I wish you would have waited just a couple more days. I started the build and am about halfway there one it. I havent had a lot of time to dedicate to it this last week I have been crazy busy but I plan to finish it up Thursday and hopefully get it posted that night.

    Best backup camera install

    After running it like this for a week the only thing I would do differently is like shreksbrother did and bought the model with no reverse guidelines. The guidelines don't do much good because you can't see your hitch, other than that...it's still amazing lol. I just got the 2nd camera I ordered...

    Sure no problem, I will try to get a pic up tomorrow of what it looks like on the screen. I also have mine wired so that I can turn it on whenever I want, I tapped into the cig lighter spot on the back passenger side. If I have any trouble with it I may switch it to another source that only...

    NNBS seat swap with NBS?

    Ah man I didn't even think about the seat belts! I wonder if the back seats would still work?

    NNBS seat swap with NBS?

    i have an 06 Yukon and I'm curious if anyone knows if I can swap seats with a nnbs model or even the 15s? I tried to measure the bolt placement but couldn't tell 100% they do look pretty close though in the front. Has anyone heard of anybody doing this swap? I would be interested in swapping...

    And no that's the nice thing about it is if you dremel the housing enough it will fit right in there without removing the housing of the camera or anything

    Sounds good to me. I just ordered another camera and some more cut off wheels for my Dremel. Hopefully they will be here by this weekend and I can do a write up on it. I found another camera on eBay for like $12 so I figured I could just have a back up lol.

    I think i am going to, I have mine that I took out and I might just go ahead and do the same thing to it that way other people on here can see how it was done.

    I heard you guys like custom sub enclosures....

    Man I LOVE that Indash set up! What screen did you use? Are you able to use your climate control through the screen or how are you using that?

    I went with the Esky EC170-06. It had really good reviews and a wide viewing range. I have been pretty happy with it and would recommend it to anyone. It even has the green, yellow and red lines for a distance indicator when backing.

    Best backup camera install

    So I wanted to brag a little and show everyone that it could be done. I had my camera mounted below the lift gate on the back side of the plastic on top of the bumper. Though the camera was pretty well hidden I hated it, made it look like a widescreen movie when I put it in reverse. So, over the...
