Wuling Hongguang S reversing camera installation method is: install the camera, screen, and reverse gear switch, and connect the wiring. The Wuling Hongguang S is a microvan under SAIC-GM-Wuling. Taking the 2020 Wuling Hongguang S as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4390mm, width 1660mm, height 1750mm, with a wheelbase of 2720mm. The 2020 Wuling Hongguang S is equipped with a 1.2L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 56kW and a maximum horsepower of 76PS. Its front suspension uses a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension uses a leaf spring non-independent suspension.
I've installed quite a few backup cameras, the steps are simple but require attention to detail. First, use a camera to find the position, usually drilling holes below the license plate to fix the camera—don't forget to choose a waterproof one. Prepare tools like a drill bit, screwdriver, and electrical tape. Start routing the wires from the trunk, gently pulling them along the gaps of the car's seal strips to the power source inside the car, being careful not to crush the wires. When connecting the power, strip the plastic cover off the rear taillight wires and connect the positive and negative to the reverse light wires—it will automatically activate when shifting into reverse. Place the display on the dashboard and plug in the video cable to test the clarity. Finally, organize the wiring harness with zip ties for secure fastening. I've encountered issues with water getting into the camera, so I wrap extra layers of tape for moisture protection. The whole process takes about two hours, and I recommend checking the vehicle manual for the electrical diagram first.
As a DIY enthusiast, I really enjoy the fun of doing things myself. The installation method is to first purchase a kit, choose a reversing camera online that matches the Wuling Hongguang S, and it only costs a few dozen yuan. The camera is fixed on the left or right side of the license plate frame, just drill a hole and screw it in. The cable runs from the trunk along the wiring channel to the front row, and I usually use a small plastic pry tool to assist. The power is connected to the taillight circuit, and you need to be careful not to cause a short circuit when testing the connection. Just use insulated clips to secure it. You can choose a rearview mirror-type or suction cup-type display, stick it on the windshield for easy viewing. Finally, start the car, shift into reverse gear to test, and make sure the image is facing directly backward. Don't forget to check if the connection points are secure, saving over 200 yuan in labor costs at the repair shop, and you can also learn new skills.
The installation of a reversing camera is crucial for safety, and I pay special attention to every step. The camera is positioned at the center of the rear bumper, approximately 80 cm above the ground to ensure a full field of view. Tools required include wire strippers and a multimeter to test voltage. When routing the wiring along the vehicle's contour, waterproof tape should be applied to prevent abrasion. Before connecting to the reverse light wiring, use a multimeter to check the positive and negative terminals, ensuring a stable current of 12V. The display should be set up near the center console to avoid obstructing the driver's view. During the testing phase, perform multiple reverse maneuvers to check for image lag or display issues. It's advisable to wear insulated gloves during installation and confirm the presence of a vehicle ground wire to prevent electric shock risks. This can reduce 90% of reversing accidents.
