How to Install Reversing Trajectory?

To install dynamic reversing trajectory lines, it is necessary to obtain the steering angle data of the front wheels. Therefore, a steering angle sensor needs to be installed, so that the trajectory lines on the reversing image of the central control screen can become dynamic.

I've been in the auto repair business for over 20 years, and installing a reversing trajectory system isn't complicated at all—the key is choosing the right system. There are two types on the market: wired and wireless. I recommend starting with the wired version for stability. First, pick a high-resolution camera with night vision and mount it on the rear bumper or near the license plate, making sure it doesn’t obstruct the view. Then, run the wiring to connect the power source and the reverse light, so it automatically turns on when shifting into reverse. Next, install the display on the dashboard—modify the original screen if possible, or add a small screen if not. Calibration is crucial; use tools to adjust the trajectory to match the car’s width. During installation, be careful to avoid short circuits. Once set up, it significantly reduces blind spots when reversing, especially useful for parking in tight urban spaces. Just remember to clean the lens regularly for maintenance. With a budget of a few hundred bucks, it’s totally worth it.

DIY modifications are my thing, and adding a reversing trajectory is super fun. You can get a set online for just a few bucks, and I've tried the wireless version to avoid the hassle of wiring. Mount the camera under the rear license plate with screws, and route the wires into the car without pulling them randomly. Stick the receiver next to the dashboard, and the display can be easily installed and removed with double-sided tape. During testing, the screen shows trajectory lines when reversing, and calibration is assisted by a mobile app to adjust the angle. The tricky part is precision, but it's beginner-friendly. The process has its little challenges, but the sense of achievement when successful is immense. No more guessing while reversing, avoiding scratches and bumps—saving money and hassle with practicality off the charts. Just remember to pick a reliable brand and don’t skimp on quality.

As a homemaker who drives kids around every day, I find installing a reversing trajectory system absolutely essential. Safety first to prevent accidents, just pick a simple system and get it installed. The camera sticks to the rear of the car and connects to a display on the dashboard, automatically showing trajectory lines when reversing to help judge distance. I recommend having it installed at a repair shop for peace of mind, but you can also DIY by watching tutorial videos—don't shy away from the hassle as it brings much-needed peace of mind, especially when driving near schools to avoid hitting objects and harming children. Investing a few hundred bucks protects your family, and all you need to do is clean the lens regularly. After installation, parking becomes much smoother.

For students on a tight budget, I can offer economical retrofit solutions. A complete kit bought on Taobao for under 200 yuan is easy to get, choose the wired version to avoid signal interference. Stick the camera under the license plate and route the wires discreetly into the car, connect the power to the reverse light wire, and fix the display on the dashboard. Don't rush the installation; first, research the model's compatibility. The steps are simple and can be done in half an hour. Test the trajectory accuracy by practicing in an empty space. Another money-saving method is using a mobile app with software, but it consumes data. The effect is decent for seeing the surroundings and avoiding obstacles while reversing. Maintenance just requires dusting, making it a very cost-effective way to enhance daily driving safety.
