Retrofitting the reversing camera on the car radio: step-by-step

Connecting the reversing camera to an existing car radio: Before we explain how you can connect a reversing camera to an existing car radio, we would like to give you an important recommendation: Buy your reversing camera from a German dealer. The reason for this is that there can always be reliability problems with electronics. For example, should the camera cause a fire in your vehicle, it would be difficult or even impossible to hold the foreign provider liable. In such cases, it is better to play it safe and buy from a German provider.
