any idea how to do this on the clarion ssd model sat nav on t grade civic?

Bog · 9th December 2011, 21:20

Its the same as the Clarion unit has Std Honda connectors at the back including the 7 pin reversing camera port which my cable plugs directly into.

Honestly, even though it sounds and looks complicated, it is not difficult and well worth the effort.

Several members have done this and are more than happy!

Great "How To"

I have a 3D (Type S) and I could not really use the guide but the idea of how to enter the camera wires in the car I used it and I thank you

fyi this might help some ***

fyi if you dont mind me stealing this picture., basically bold red line is the cable and the dotted line is where you have to thread it.

stage 1 thread it through the top ,

stage 2 there is an opening hole here , i threaded my chicken wire up from here to the top labelled .1.
did a knot and pulled the cable through ,

stage 3 , again threaded the chicken wire up from point 4 to point 3 and again knotted the video cable to the chicken wire and pulled it through !

reason why i split it in two goes is its just toooo hard to thread it from the top and all the way down expecting it to come out of the grommit . so i split it in two parts.

other modules in the way that you may damage threading it blindly

Hi, hope you don't mind me butting in...

I did this and it does improve signal, however I found that the screen flickered as I put my foot on the brake. Connecting the negative to the boot lid on a nearby stud with a star washer & ring crimp did the trick!

ah yes it must have been your post i read . yeah my othjer option is to connect it to a ring crimp and screw it to the tailgate - which screw did u use.

Yes I think that was the one I used; I'll check it out in the morning & let you know if not. I included the star washer to make sure of a good connection to the metal.

cv65user · 8th January 2012, 01:17

do u have a ring crimp and star washer you can kindly sell to me . i checked on ebay and you can buy em in mlutiples of 100 which i dont need lol

just a thought so evrytime i put it in reverse and if someone happens to touch my boot lid they are goign to be in for a shocker >? lol

cv65user · 8th January 2012, 18:50

big thx to bog ,reversing camera now installed after 3 weeks lol . didnt need an attenuator or needed the ground the reverse light in the end .

got a few tips i will update thread with pixs at had my warnings now!!

undo all bolts i recommend one of these otherwise the nuts will fall into rear trim /floor and you will never find it if working outside

remove rear brake lights first as the centre cluster is held on to these so brake lights must be removed first

me taking out rear light cluster to saw a little hole

getting my 12v feed

moment of truth

final product

tidying up

Seriously, how did anyone ever manage to get the cable plugged in without disassembling the dash! To those that did, I salute you! My hands, great as they are at a good number of tasks, are not well suited to this job!

I have had the plug out of the back of my DVD about 6 times today while messing with the AV connectors & find it very easy.

I have big hands but have no problem at all, make sure you have trimmed just a slither of plastic on the sides of the plug & it goes in just fine.

Hi Bog, would you consider supplying and fitting a reversing camera in my 08 2.2 Ex ?

kevin43 · 20th July 2012, 23:34

awwatsonisajedi · 21st July 2012, 20:29

Thanks for the guide. Finally got round to fitting my Camera today, followed the instructions and no issues. It's brilliant. Big thanks to Bog and MrBozo for the video cable and camera!
