I'm about to install the F90BT and the boyo backup camera. I want to know how would one wire up the backup camera? Do you do the following steps?

1. Install the camera at your desired location

2. Run the wires to the headunit with the RCA input

3. The + and - can be connected to the headunit's harness

4. Connect the reverse wire from the headunit to the car's reverse wire?

By following these steps, will I be able to see the camera when it is in reverse and at anytime I want to see the back of my car?

Thanks

yes, the reverse wire connection allows for it to automatically display when in reverse, and the rca allows you to go to AV source and select rear view camera to display anytime you want. You will need to turn on the camera in the settings menu.

I have the f900bt and a rear camera installed in my FJ Cruiser, and I can use the camera both ways.

So qkslvr, do you have to wait until full boot up before seeing an image from the back up camera?

My camera works 8-10 seconds after I turn the key

Thanks for the tip. I'm going to try and install it when I'm free.

well thats good that you dont have to wait for the unit to fully boot to bak out of your driveway

i was thinking that same thing about the camera, as to whether or not itd be usable before the units finished....i might just buy one now

And just to back up (no pun intended) what CamelTowing said...

Do want. lol hows the Boyo one i was lookin at that.

I have the Boyo VLT420 and am EXTREMELY pleased with it. It has a really wide view, and it's low light sensitivity is excellent. Highly recommended! I got mine on eBay for only $82 (from barneyselectronics).

I have a boyo camera as well. I agree the low light sensitivity is very good. It just might be over sensitive, though.

When I am in an area with virtually no light at night, the image from the camera is plenty bright enough to pick out a lot of detail. But if it's dark out and you are near a street light, or have someone behind you with their headlights on, the image is washed out and practically useless.

It's kinda like walking out of a really dark club and getting blasted by the sun at 7 in the morning. the light... it's too bright to see anything.

ugh dont u jus hate the sun sometimes well my mind is set, gonna get a boyo. CamelTowing, dericn and bobsyouruncle, thanks for the input guys, i was a lil uneasy on which one to buy.
