![]() ![]() There is a power cable to connect to the cigarette lighter, and a mount for antenna. It has a diagonal of 7-inches and HD 720p resolution. ![]() You know, it is bigger than the monitors of some other backup cameras. Okay, there is a lot of stuff here, and it is all necessary. In the next box we have different accessories, such as mount holder for monitor, self-tapping screws, car charger, hole saw, and adhesive tape. It is really so, as well as removable antenna. The inscription on this box says there is a camera inside. You will most likely need it to read how to install the camera. In the box with the second camera, there is a user manual, the camera itself, antenna and two screws.įinally, let’s open the main box with Auto Vox W10 back up camera.įirst, there is a user manual in English. If you cannot find a metal surface in your car, then you can use an adhesive tape to install the antenna. In the box, there is a removable antenna, and a magnetic base. The antenna increases the range up to 66 feet. You can also buy an extension antenna for backup camera. The first one is Auto Vox W10 backup camera. So bottom line, Auto Vox X2 works fine by just tapping purple/black reverse light wire.So, I have three boxes. Or turn off Drive mode so it uses the reverse camera the whole time you drive. Then if you enable Drive mode, it will display the rear camera for 60 seconds, then turn it off with only the HUD options. It will default to the mode you had last time, so select the backup camera view-mode before you turn off the car. Rather, unless you custom rig the wiring, even their official add-a-fuse wiring kit will turn the device on based on the fuse you use (I used PDC fuse #7). Works like a charm and I now have reverse lines on.Īs a hint on operation, by default the Auto Vox will not turn on when you put it into reverse - the reverse trigger wire only triggers the parking lines. This one was the opposite: Even with a 18-22 tap, the wire was forced between the metal crimp, but after careful examination, it had not penetrated the exterior jacket.Ĭut a little into the jacket and exposed the wire then recrimped. In the past, I've seen issues where the taps have had poor connections because they were too loose. I can turn it on and use all the functions manually, but no automatically triggered reverse camera turn-on. It's odd because as I read reviews, others with BMWs have seemingly just tapped a single line or they just lied and had someone figure it out). Tried multiple ground wire taps and chassis points. ![]() I had got a typical relay from Autozone, but perhaps it wasn't quite the right one or functional, as it did not help at all. I was thinking that perhaps I needed a relay (though my initial thought was that this was only a trigger, so was it really necessary?). You can see that the camera already has a 5-pin line that connects these two cable runs (which was a PITA to run through the trunk rubber hosing). The wire with the mini-USB and the red wire is the line that goes from the Auto-vox mirror to the backup camera (also attached). I tapped into the purple and black line that goes into the reverse light on the trunk lid (no ground connection req'd).įor those who don't have the unit, see the attached images for the pieces that were included (with the additional add-a-fuse). Added the stock fuse to the provided 5 amp (so now two fuses in the add-a-fuse).Įverything seems to function, including the rear camera - but I cannot get it to automatically switch over on reverse. Tapped into fusebox behind the glovebox at Fuse #7 (PDC/Homelink) with an Auto-vox branded add-a-fuse intently for that purpose. But having issues triggering the reverse camera. Saw a good deal on the X2 and jumped on it. Hoping Jashan90 or anyone else who has this unit or similar can assist.
