Installing Rear view/backup camera - what wire & where to trigger it?

[amkrat]

Since the new for 2025 rear view camera that will be on the Sea to Sky RT (and Canyon I'm told) will not be available for retrofit to the 2024 RT, I am considering installing my own. I'm not too crazy about disassembling the back half of the Spyder just to access the reverse light wire needed to activate the camera. Does anyone know the wire color and if It might be found under the passenger seat, or maybe even at the reverse gear actuator (if there is such a thing).

Rather than mess with the bikes' wiring, why not consider installing a system such as the Innovv N1Pro? This is a dashcam system that also gives you Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, AND can be used as a rearview camera display. I've installed this system on a 2021 F3L, and it works very well straight out of the box.

Interesting option. Might be a good choice for a pre-2024 RT that doesn't offer ACP.

I use an Innovv dash cam on my Spyder. The cameras on the above link seem to be the same 1080p cam I have on the rear of my Spyder (2K front cam). I am quite happy with the video quality it provides. Innovv used a Spyder for one of their images showing the screen mounted, I thought that was cool.

That system looks super tempting as it appears to do so much more than be a camera, and it would be a proper workaround for the TERRIBLE BRP Go garbage!

Any details on your installation or pictures would be appreciated. Thank you.

I use wires for 12v charging port to power small things like that.

Here's the Innovv N1 Pro on a 2021 F3. I only captured the startup screen to protect the owners' privacy, but it is a full Apple Car Play and Android Auto unit, plus dashcam that can be used as a backup camera.

I got excited when I read of this in this thread. I watched several reviews on YouTube and although it seems to be a solid unit (like most INNOVV products) I was left thinking that the execution of the GUI and controls are lacking. I don't think you can adjust the screen brightness easily, and there is no auto mode for screen brightness. You have limited control or features for the camera and there is no app to access files or change any settings. Speaking of settings, there aren't many. The main display has provisions for a TPM system they sell...but its only compatible for two wheeled vehicles. You also cannot remove the display from the main screen if you don't have the optional sensors; at least from what I saw.

The camera footage shown was not as good as my Innovv K6 rear camera, but that may just be how it was converted or uploaded. For the price I was expecting more bells and whistles but as a basic car play or android auto that happens to have a camera, its a sold build, but not at that list price.

Here's a better price, wondering if anyone has tried this: https://aoocci.com/products/c6-pro-motorcycle-dash-cam

Update: I ordered it, I'll let you know how it works out. Should get here sometime next week.

Update 3/21/2024: My order is hung up in U.S. Customs in Los Angeles, California. I'll install when it get's here.

I have INNOVV K7 a nice unit for sure…
