• HW Installation Support
  • 360 cam installation

I didn't see this information, so I am posting here:

  • when you do the 360 cam installation, where to you link the trigger cables on the Head Unit side? (on the camera side, I guess it is the blinkers and reverse light)

Is there a tutorial link? I couldn’t find it?

headunit side didn't require connection to anything as far as i'm aware. I only tapped into left + right blinkers, and reverse light. idk what those connections at the headunit are for, but tutorial said to tape them off. my guess is that they'd be for canbus sensor?

Here's the tutorial link: https://wiki.dudu-auto.com/en/%E5%85%A8%E6%99%AF%E6%95%99%E7%A8%8B/%E6%8B%BC%E6%8E%A5%E6%95%99%E7%A8%8B

bonus tip if you don't want to drill any extra holes through your firewall to tap into front blinkers, buy cheap 18 to 22 AWG speaker wire from autozone or amazon or where you want, split the positive and negative/ground wires in half use as extensions to route to the trunk and tap into your blinkers there instead. inline wagos work fine, solder + heatshrink is best, or crimps + heatshrink to splice them. I guess you can also use wire nuts... i guess. just don't take the lazy/cheap route and use electrical/tessa tape. These are cameras you (presumably) want to use to check your blind spots after all.

This saved me a ton of effort since i don't have much space to drill additional holes in my firewall and i didn't want to have any wires hanging off my door grommets going towards the engine.

also, you'll probably need this when you finally calibrate:

You can use several options (not counting the version when data comes via CANbus).

  1. Connect the trigger cables from the camera side (to the turn signal wires and the reversing lamp)
  2. Connect the cables from the head unit side.

I did it in combination, the reverse is connected from the reversing lamp side, the turn signal signals are connected to the lines of the hazard warning switch on the central panel, next to DUDU. (This is not possible for all cars, new models do not have signals there). The unconnected ends of the cables are additionally insulated.
