How to Install Reversing Trajectory?
2 Answers
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.
