Auto Electrician Workshop Recommendation for Reverse Camera Not Working CKV36 (SYD or WOL)


Recommended Posts

Can anyone recommend a workshop that can repair a reverse camera issue for a CKV36? Started off intermittent but now never works - just shows a black screen with the steering lines when you put it into reverse. For any other purpose, the display otherwise works fine. Would prefer Wollongong area but will travel to Sydney to get it fixed. Dropped by a couple of local auto electricians and they did not know where to start with it (I suppose I prefer this honesty up front rather than spending chargeable hours and not getting anywhere!) Thanks.

Tunehoouse have sounded knowledgeable for our cars when I have spoken to them. I would hope the electricians you took it to at least first checked that the camera was getting power, the impedance across the unit was not 0, and there was continuity between the camera plug and the screen (much more specific technically).

If you have access to a wrecker for these cars, might be cheap to get a camera from a wreck and plug it in to see if an image displays. Of course , the wreaked camera may also be broken.

yep it will be like that. Where do you mean by "down here"? This forum traditionally was an Australian/NZ one but we've been worldwide for many years now. So 100% state your location first so people can help by providing more localised informations (state your country, it helps a lot).

Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement.

They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions...

I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back. 

 

It can't be some stupidly proprietary video signal coming out of it that only Nissan's can understand. Surely you can just find some generic camera to stuff in there and use hot melt glue/blu-tac/gaffer tape to hold it in place if need be?

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
