Question Teyes CC3 reverse camera help!

[hawk30]

Few things to check:

1. Make sure you connected to separate Teyes connector with marking Camera In ( not CVBS in)

2. Try all car plugs to connect to that port mentioned above.

While running the car and when you put in reverse, if Teyes switches to camera - then you have setup CAN box properly.


Thats all I think.

Note, on my car you can watch the reverse camera anytime via menu. No need to put in reverse. On Toyota it might power the camera while running engine only, not sure.

Has anyone installed a 6V factory camera to the Teyes screen?

Yes. In my car, the factory fitted reverse camera works on 6v. I used an AEROPRO harness to use the existing reverse camera wiring and connect it to the CC3. The aeropro harness connects to the factory reverse camera cabling (plug and play) and gives you an RCA video output that you feed the CC3. You do however have to make one wire connection for the reverse trigger. Which is easy enough. Aeropro harness has a reverse trigger wire and you connect it to the reverse trigger wire on the CC3 harness

Hey guys
My first post on here so I’m hoping someone can help
Received the Teyes CC3 in the post today for my Astra GTC I’m not sure where to connect the power wire to the back of the radio for the reverse camera
There isn’t any loose wires on the loom for the power and the instructions just say to connect it to G3 ACC which I’ve attached a photo of but it isn’t clear of what to do
Any help would be appreciated

Don’t think you shall connect any power at the unit. Camera gets its power at the back of the car, from revers lights if I remember correctly.

Not necessarily.
If you want the cam to work all the time then you need to connect to a power source which is on all the time. With the cam powered by the reverse light you will only be able to use that cam in reverse and not as a monitor while forward driving (a great many headunits come with the ability to use the reverse cam as a monitor)

For people that want to retain their OEM reverse cameras, the vast majority of them are 6V.

Below is an example of reverse camera retention adapter used on a toyota hilux. It will allow a 6V camera to have an AVI output to the teyes system Port F included adapter.

Advantage:
Keep OEM camera

Disadvantage:
1) If OEM camera is low resolution, the image could appear bad on the larger screen.

2) You will not be able to use live view mode without connecting accessory power to a voltage reducer to the camera circuit.
Depending on how the circuitry for your vehicle works, you dont want the car to think your in reverse while you are driving.
The provided harness of the teyes camera has an extra wire in it than standard aftermarket reverse cameras for this purpose, and keeps it independant of the vehicles normal system.

3) Rare but has happened - Toyota Prius 2021 Hybrid for example - OEM reverse camera does plug and play with the CC3 system. However when going from reverse to drive too quick - the reverse mode feed stays on. One must move slower from reverse to drive in order for it to disengage. The issue was resolved by using the teyes aftermarket camera and gaining live view

Well... to be fair, it should be mentioned that ANY camera using RCA will appear at a lower resolution. RCA only supports standard definition (if I remember correctly, that is a max of 720x480(?) )

Those cams which are advertising "1080P" and then show an rca connection in the pictures... well.... maybe the cam itself is a 1080p cam, but the head unit sure isn't seeing that.

For higher definitions, you need usb or hdmi

Yes I do not disagree with you however some vehicles OEM camera are even lower than your above mentioned resolution and should be taking into consideration.
Some clients that used their OEM cameras were blured/unfocused and sometimes pixelated. After upgrading the picture were clear.

Hello, I am digging up this thread because I seem to have done everything properly but the rear view camera does not come up when reversing.

Car is a Honda CR-Z from 2013 (UK), unit is a CC3. I am using the Raise canbus box that came with my Teyes order and it works fine for the steering wheel functions.

I can see the rear camera when I go to "Rec" (so I know that it is powered and works fine), but when going into reverse nothing happens.

I did not connect the yellow wires as per instructions, since I am using a canbus box that works fine.

I tried all the Canbus year options for my car, nothing ever changes.

Any idea?

check if you wired the reverse brown wire from the canbus to the G5 reverse detect wire.

 

[PhiphyL]

I have it in front of my eyes, it is definitely connected.

What voltage is your rear view camera with the oem head unit?

 

[PhiphyL]

What voltage is your rear view camera with the oem head unit?

Must be 12V, it's Teyes originals for both rear camera and head unit. The camera works, so I'd be surprised if the problem came from here.
I think the head unit just isn't getting the reverse signal - but it should receive it from the Canbus, as the instructions say.

Some camera are advertised as AHD, which can display higher resolution through RCA. The teyes radio supports AHD.
And AHD is definitely clearer than CVBS signal.

I have a CC2 Plus in a Toyota C-HR 2018 RHD, My OME camera works fine as a reveres camera and is on all the time in the camera App. Is it possible to record that camera eg use as a rear view dash cam, eg the same software as for CC3

 

[here2rock]

Is the reverse camera suppose automatically trigger when connected with the brown wire on the HU? Mine is not doing for some reason.

 

[mastrv]

The reverse camera triggers when 12V or an appropriate voltage is applied to the brown wire.

Need help with a Wrangler 2020. I don't know if my head unit is a Teyes brand or not but it looks like one so I suspect they are all the same family and just rebrands like so many other things form China.

I bought the actual Teyes camera adapter to use the factory backup camera but I cannot get an image. There is a CANBUS adapter and everything else on the unit works fine for example auto lock/unlock, steering wheel controls, AC control changes pop up on screen, door images on screen when open, etc.

I've connected the ACC, ILL, and CND cables to the lighter via splicers but I get no picture still. I've tried both the CVBS and AHD connectors. The only cable I did not connect is the B+ so am planning to try that next. Wanted to see if anyone had any ideas on what could be wrong?

OK, got it working, but the lines are only static and not active even though the "Active" setting is checked (it won't even let me change it to the non-active setting).

I want to connect the existing camera that will work in reverse mode and I only have a red and black cable, do I need canbus? or the connector teyes au send here?

Hey everyone. First post and been reading though all the chats.
Just installed a Teyes CC3 head unit and Teyes reverse camera.
My issue is I don’t get a reverse picture but it does switch from normal head unit screen to reverse mode (black with the assistance yellow square/lines).

Back of the car
- Starting from the back of the car I attached in the camera.
- attached the yellow to yellow and red to red plugs together.
- so striped back and joined the two red cables together
- found the reverse light power cable, stripped back the protective cover and attached the yellow cable

Head unit
- ran the black cable with yellow top plug and thin yellow and thin red cable to the head unit
- yellow top plug attached into yellow camera feed in
- yellow reverse cable to brown reverse cable
* part Im confused with - red ACC cable (comes out of black camera cable that’s got the yellow top/ same as the yellow cable above) needs to be attached to G3. G3 is also a red cable that’s plugged into the back of the head unit. Follow that Red G3 and it split into 2 red cables. 1 goes to the CANBUS box (little red box they provided) and the other end goes to the connection that connects with the cars cables. I pulled back the cover over the 2 red cables (where they are joined) and added my ACC red.

What have I done wrong

Thank you!
