Rydeen ZH07-150B Not working on 6V

[RickyBobby]

@808BRZ
Glad to see you got your camera working. Since I still have the camera, instead of tapping into a 12V line I'm going to order the same wire harness you did from AutoHarnessHouse.
You can try filing a return request with eBay, but no guarantee that the vendor will tell you to keep the camera. He got extremely rude after I emailed him several times asking him that if it was a genuine Rydeen why it did not come with a serial# / model# sticker on it. Never did get an answer from him.

The only Rydeen authorized online dealer I know of is Al & Ed's AutoSound. http://www.al-eds.com/Rydeen-Mobile-...0B-p22239.html

This vendor also has a website where he sells Rydeen? cameras. http://www.backup-camera.com/
Here's the reply from Rydeen's director of sales and marketing:
"We do not sell to any On Line merchants and if a product is missing a serial number it will not have a warranty no matter what it's origin is. Unlike Costco, we do not sell "bulk" items. Sorry, I can't be of more assistance but when you buy products from ebay you are taking a risk. Good luck with your purchase."

I am not a fan of whoever this guy is. The pictures he has for the Rydeen Miny are my pictures from my blog for work. First the BRZ with Virginia tags then the Cayman with Virginia tags.

Ive contacted him through email and over the phone multiple times and he dances around it with bullshit answers.

808BRZ's picture called my attention to the parking guide lines. Here is the image from my MINy. My DUO has exactly the same lines:

This post has the first picture I could find just now from someone else who said they installed a DUO.

The lines on RickyBobby's camera (on a picture he e-mailed me) are significantly different.

Keep in mind that 808BRZ's are coming from the OEM FT nav HU (he disabled his camera's lines).

And yes, the colors on my picture are correct -- the line nearest the bumper is more orange, middle is violet, and farthest colored one is yellow. Trapezoid is white. Not the typical red/yellow/green I've seen on most other cameras. But my Rydeens came from a local distributor who carries them, and gave them to me in the real colored boxes with matching S/Ns.

I guess that's another question for Rydeen -- whether they've changed the lines over time, or should all their cameras' lines look the same as mine.

Here's a better picture during the day.

Here's the pic of the camera hooked up to my 55" Panasonic plasma TV. Not the same as SVXdc's Rydeen MINy's grid lines.

I received the wire harness from AutoHarnessHouse this week and finally installed my pseudo Rydeen Duo BU camera. Installation was fairly easy thanks to all the info available on the forum. It would have been so much easier and less harness wire stuck behind the HU if I was able to use SVXdc's wire harness.
If anyone needs his wire harness mine's also up for sale. PM me with an offer. SOLD

Here's a few pics from the install. The only panel, besides the dash panels, I removed was the one on the driver's side to install the reverse trigger wire, not needed on a BRZ.

My pseudo Rydeen Duo BU camera. No serial/model # sticker.



SVXdc's wire harness + FR-S reverse trigger wire. My HU, the Bespoke/Pioneer, PT546-00140, puts out 6.11V to the camera. My camera unfortunately needs ~6.5V.



AutoHarnessHouse's wire harness, for any BU camera that needs 12V, $30. + $2. reverse trigger wire (if needed) + $2. shipping. It comes with a butt connector but I used a 18-24 gauge posi-lock connector. Unplug the HU 10 pin connector, plug the wire harness 10 pin and 16 pin connectors into the HU, plug the HU 10 pin connector into the wire harness. Connect the 2 pin connectors from the 10 pin and 16 pin harness. Connect the red power wire from the relay (solder, butt, posi-lock) to the camera's red power wire on the RCA plug. On your camera the red power wire may be separate.



My FR-S requires a reverse trigger wire. Remove the lower panel on the driver's side by removing the plastic fastener. I have one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Lisle-35260-P...2Aentries%2A=0 Slide the panel back off the 2 green plastic fasteners. Remove them from the body and slide them back onto the panel.




The AutoHarnessHouse's reverse trigger wire comes with a Scotchlok type connector to splice into the left top pink wire but I prefer to use a Posi-tap connector. Here's why: http://tech.bareasschoppers.com/reso...ap-connectors/



Route the reverse trigger wire under the dash (zip tie where needed) to the HU. Remove the 28 pin connector from the HU. With a small screwdriver open the retention latch slightly on the side of the connector where the reverse trigger wire will be inserted, pin #2 on the top side. Make sure that the contact terminal on the end of the reverse trigger wire is orientated correctly before inserting it. The contact terminal has a tiny fin that should face up towards the retention latch side of the connector.
See SVXdc's and AutoHarnessHouse's websites for detailed instructions and pics.

Latch open on reverse trigger wire side



With the camera connected to the HU I held down the Audio button and switched the parking lights on and off 3X to access the diagnostic screen but was unable to access the Camera Setting. Tried it in reverse with the engine on still no go. Anyone know why?? May have found the answer to this in this thread: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=83829



I decided to mount the camera in the middle of the trunk fascia to center the grid lines. The only grid lines were from the camera so I did not connect the green wires.
The trunk fascia is held on with 5 - 8mm bolts and 1 plastic fastener. The lights do not have to be removed.
I used the supplied double sided adhesive tape as a template to mark where to drill the hole and a 5/16" drill bit.
Attached the double side adhesive tape, camera, punched a hole in the rubber grommet for the camera wire, and used a short piece of wire to pull the camera wire thru the rubber pass-through.





Following aznatama's lead, I ran the wires the same way. Along the top of the trunk driver's side panel, diagonally under the rear left seat (remove the 10mm seat bolt and lift the seat up just enough to run the wire under it), and then tucked under the center console to the HU. No need to remove any panels. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=65777
Zip tied the excess wire to the amp wire and attached the camera ground wire to the one of the amp bolts.



Installed



Camera view at ~8PM. The camera needs to be tilted up a bit. Getting too much of the bumper. I'll work on that this week.



One last tip: while removing the right front dash panel one of the yellow plastic clip pins came off and fell into one of the car's black holes. They are ~$1. each from the dealer. The part number is SU003-02967.

Looks good. I wanted to mount it in the center but wasn't sure how it would look because of the slope.

Still have the harness? I emailed SVXdc an order form but whatever gets me the harness faster.

Was your 10-pin Autoharnesshouse working? I keep on trying to plug it into the back of my head unit and it keeps running into some obstructions. Can't even force it in, like it's been keyed incorrectly or something.

Also, what did you do with your DRL/parking brake wire? Did you splice it in?

Here's some pictures of the mis-matched keys.
