PLEASE READ THIS EXTRA INFO Thank you to those who have suggested an useful alternative to the switch wiring. If you use a SPDT switch like I had then wire the BLUE signal wire to the middle common pin. Wire the permanent positive to the I pin Wire the reversing positive to the O pin. Leave the switch in O position and the camera will come on in reverse. Switch to I to override and bring it on at anytime. This gives you the best of both worlds. Thank you to everyone that comments and gave helpful feedback 👍🏼😃

Hi Greg, thank you for the useful guide, I'm installing the same camera on my Ducato, following your fantastic diagram. Just for clarity, If I want to use the extra info above, do I need to take a positive line from the reverse light or intercept this signal somewhere else in the van?

Hi Greg. That black metal beam above the seats is where I attached a 12mm strip of ply to attach the two pieces of 12mm to replace the plastic tray that we discussed. Great video, as always. I had that same video screen in my previous van and they are very delicate. The glass is very brittle. Another two things I have done in this van are a secret storage location for my gadgets and a slide out floor (Under the rear raised floor) that locks in two beams on the rear doors. It is exactly the same width as the distance between the wheel arches. I will then have a canvas to act as the roof and rear windowed wall. Easy extension.

Great video Greg. I also have a silver Peugeot Boxer L3H2 and followed your original series 3 years ago when I did my van. Best colour, the inside looks like a space craft before insulation so brings back memories. I fitted the same camera and monitor but didn’t fit the rocker switch to start with. The van battery will eventually run flat if you rely on the monitor switch. So I fitted a rocker switch about a year ago - game changer far more relaxing not having to worry about the battery.

I winced when you cut the plug connector to the brake light off flush.

You also could eBay the brake light with the connector, makes it easier for the next guy when you have moulded connectors. Good video though.😊

Similar to this system there will be a signal wire (in our case it’s the blue wire to the monitor) which turns the system on when your vehicle is put into reverse. You need a SPDT switch like I was using. Connect blue wire to the centre pin. Connect your reverse wire to the O pin and a 12v positive to the I pin. Leave the switch in the O position it will work as normal and in the I position it will turn the camera on when you use the switch. 👍🏼😃

Hi Greg, Thanks for this video. I am struggling to see what’s going on with the third Wago box near the camera/brake light and the diagram doesn’t show this either. I don’t have the exact model as yours but there’s a connector from the camera in addition to the pos and neg wires which there doesn’t seem to be a connection for at the other end. Thanks again.

Thanks for the video- can you advice on the best way to secure the cab camera to the windscreen . Several attempts so far not effective and it falls off. Thanks

Hi, I have just watched the first five videos. Excellent quality as usual 👍. May I ask, did you insure the van as a camper in development?

No, it is just insured as a van at the moment

Another brilliant video Greg. I cannot sing your praises more :) You have probably gone through the upside/downside of rear windows which obviates the need for the camera. Can you tell me if and where that is? Or do you simply always keep the back fully enclosed?

I havent done a video about my thought process but here's a brief summary. I did toy with the idea of putting rear door windows in as it would be nice to wake up in the morning and be able to see what the world was like outside from bed, also be good for normal driving of course. Then on the downside, it adds two cold windows to the bed area and greater heat loss, plus maybe issues with condensation on the glass and then there's lack of security and of course extra cost on this budget vehicle. So we decided to leave them out at this stage but someone can easily retro fit them to the doors afterwords with little effort. Hope that helps :D

Thanks Greg, picking up my new van next week and this will help massively. Only issue I have is I don’t want to have a switch. I’d like it to come on with the ignition. Can you remember if there are any switched positives in the B pillar fuse box ? Thanks

There wasn’t in my van but each one is different. Failing that it’s really easy to run down the A pillar and piggy back off one of the main fuses. It’s easy to google a fuse board layout to see which is which.

Hi Greg. Thanks for your videos. I am enjoying the series. I have a VW crafter that has already been converted. Do you think it possible to fit the reversing camera retrospectively? Cheers. Jim

You can get wireless versions so you don’t need the video link cable. Just power at the front which is easy and power from back light. 👍🏼😃

Great videos Greg. You mention that the backup grid lines can be shut off. How is that done?

Just go into the menu on the monitor and option to turn them on or off. But only if plugged into V2 plug.

Thanks Greg. I tried that but there is no option on the menu mode to turn off the grid lines. I do have the V2 plug option. Perhaps I have a different model of rear camera than you have. I got my camera through Amazon.Thanks.

So I take it you can have the camera on all the time (not just in reverse) and use it like a rear view mirror.

Thank you so much. Does the feed get confused with the canbus system? When I did one on an Octavia I had to use a relay to isolate the canbus signal which caused issues.

Greg, cracking video as ever and I was so confident right up until I looked for a spare fuse holder on the fuse box and discovered while I had some spare spaces, there was no power and they hadn't been wired for fuses. So having followed your guidance to the tee, it's back to the drawing board. Incidentally, I did wonder whether the brake light is a switched power and thus unless you press the brake pedal, you won't get any power at the camera? Any help to get me over this hurdle would be appreciated. I have a 2020 Boxer.

You can use the same piggy back fuse and take it down the A pillar into the dash and connect to a fuse in your main fuse board. Fuses 32 or 34 would be ok to connect to as they are for rear passenger compartment and not often used in vans. imgvehicle.com/peugeot/boxer-ii/fuse-box#section_2 The rear camera has a separate power supply to the brake light. Please look at my diagram there are two positives going to the rear light / camera unit. The positive for the camera is the red wire inside the video lead. 👍🏼😃
