Rear view camera for Nissan Juke: selection, installation and repair guide

Rear view camera Nissan Juke - not just a comfort option, but an important safety element, especially for a compact crossover with limited visibility. Owners of cars produced from 2010 to 2023 are often faced with the need to replace a standard camera or install a new one - be it due to a breakdown, a desire to improve image quality or add functionality (for example, dynamic parking lines). However, choosing the right model and its correct integration into the car system requires knowledge: from compatibility with the multimedia system to the nuances of connecting to the control unit.

In this article we will look at everything you need to know about rear view cameras for Juke: from a review of original and analog solutions to step-by-step instructions for installation and troubleshooting. We will pay special attention to models with the system Around View Monitor (AVM), where the rear view camera works in conjunction with three other modules. If you are planning to install it yourself, here you will find connection diagrams, a list of necessary tools and unique tips for setting the sensitivity of parking sensors, which are not described in official manuals.

Original rear view cameras for Nissan Juke: models and articles

Factory cameras for Nissan Juke differ depending on the year of manufacture and configuration. The main suppliers of original spare parts are companies Clarion And Fujitsu Ten, which produce modules under the brand Nissan. Below is a table with part numbers and compatibility:

Article	Years of manufacture	System type	Notes
28510-4M00A	2010–2014	Standard (no AVM)	Black and white image, 4-pin connector
28510-4M01A	2015–2019	Color (with AVM)	Compatible with Bose-audio system
28510-4M02B	2020–2023	Color HD (with AVM)	720p resolution, 170° viewing angle
28510-4M03C	2022–2023	Color HD (with ProPILOT)	Integration with semi-autonomous driving system

It is important to consider that cameras for models with Around View Monitor (AVM) have an additional connector for synchronization with the front and side cameras. When replacing the original camera with an analogue one, it is necessary to check the compatibility of the data transfer protocol - some Chinese analogues do not support CAN bus, which leads to errors on the multimedia system screen.

Prices for original cameras vary from 15,000 to 40,000 rubles, depending on the model. For example, module 28510-4M02B for Juke 2020 will cost an average of 28,000 rubles, while the analogue from Depo or TYC can be found for 8,000–12,000 rubles. However, saving on the original is fraught with problems with calibration and accuracy of displaying parking lines.

⚠️ Attention: When purchasing an original camera, check for a seal on the connector. Counterfeits often come with damaged contacts, resulting in loss of signal due to vibration (for example, on a rough road).

Analogs and universal cameras: what to choose for Juke

If your budget is limited or the original camera is not available, you can consider analogues from third-party manufacturers. The main rule when choosing is compatibility with the connector and data transfer protocol of your Juke. Below is a list of verified brands and models:

• 🔹 Depo (article 335-11103-100) - budget option for models 2010–2014. Price: ~6,500 rub. Cons: The plastic body is less durable than the original.
• 🔹 TYC (article 11-6502-00-1) is a color camera with a viewing angle of 170°. Suitable for Juke with AVM, but requires modification of the connector. Price: ~9,000 rub.
• 🔹 Boyo (article VTK275) is a universal camera with dynamic lines. Connects via RCA, but needs an adapter to integrate with the standard screen. Price: ~7,200 rub.
• 🔹 Rear View Safety (article RVS-770613) — HD camera with night vision. Compatible with Juke 2015+, but requires sensitivity adjustment through the multimedia menu. Price: ~14,000 rub.

When choosing a universal camera, pay attention to the following parameters:

• 📏 Viewing angle: optimally 170–180°. Less - there will be blind spots, more - distortion at the edges.
• 🔌 Connector type: original cameras Nissan use 4-pin or 6-pin connectors. Universal models usually come with RCA or FAKRA.
• 🌙 Night photography: cameras with IR illumination (e.g. Rear View Safety) show themselves better in the dark, but can be blinding in bright light.
• 📶 Anti-interference: cheap models often suffer from interference when working near antennas or LTE modems.

If you plan to install a camera with dynamic parking lines, make sure that the multimedia system Juke supports their display. In some cases, firmware of the head unit will be required (for example, for models with NissanConnect until 2017).

Rear view camera connection diagrams for Nissan Juke

Connecting a rear view camera to Juke depends on the year of manufacture and type of multimedia system. Below are the main schemes for different generations:

1. Juke 2010–2014 (without AVM)

In these models, the camera is connected directly to the head unit via a 4-pin connector. Connection diagram:

• 🔴 Plus (+12V) - from the reverse lamp (usually orange wire).
• ⚫ Negative (GND) — weight on the body.
• 🟡 Video (Composite) - yellow wire to the corresponding input on the radio.
• 🟢 Control (Reverse Signal) — green wire to the control unit (to activate the camera when reverse gear is engaged).

2. Juke 2015–2023 (with AVM)

Here the camera is integrated into the system Around View Monitor and connects via CAN bus. You will need:

1. Connect the camera to the control unit AVM (connector J2 under the rear bumper).
2. Route the video signal to the head unit through FAKRA cable.
3. Set up calibration through the service menu (only available with a diagnostic scanner Consult-III+).

For universal cameras, you will need an adapter that converts the signal from RCA in FAKRA. Popular adapter models:

• 🔌 Pac-Audio RP5-NIS11 - for integration with NissanConnect.
• 🔌 Metra Axxess AX-NISLAN-35 - supports dynamic lines.

If the camera does not work after connecting, check:

Correct connection of connectors (no distortions or oxidation)

Voltage on the reverse lamp wire (should be +12V)

Multimedia system settings (whether camera mode is turned on)

Protocol compatibility (CAN bus for AVM)

-->

⚠️ Attention: When connecting a universal camera to Juke with AVM the system may give an error C1145 (“Rear view camera malfunction”). This means that the control unit does not recognize the camera model. The solution is firmware AVM module or installing a signal emulator.

Step-by-step instructions for installing a camera on a Nissan Juke

You can install a rear view camera yourself if you follow the instructions and have a minimum set of tools. Let's look at the process using an example Nissan Juke 2017 with system AVM.

Required tools:

• 🔧 Screwdriver with a Phillips bat (for removing the bumper trim).
• 🔨 Plastic spatulas for removing clips.
• 📡 Multimeter (to check voltage).
• 🔌 Soldering iron and heat shrink (if required, connectors).
• 📱 Diagnostic scanner Consult-III+ (for AVM calibration).

Installation steps:

1. Removing the rear bumper:

   Unscrew the bumper mounting bolts (4 pieces on the bottom and 2 on the sides in the wheel arches). Carefully pry off the clips using plastic spatulas. Be careful - the clips are fragile and often break if dismantled carelessly.

2. Removing the old camera:

   Disconnect the power and video connector. In models with AVM additionally disable CAN bus (gray connector). If the camera is glued, use a hair dryer to heat the glue.

3. Installing a new camera:

   Place the camera in the mounting location and secure it with double-sided tape or sealant. Connect the connectors in reverse order. Make sure the wires are not pinched by the bumper.

4. Functionality check:

   Turn on the ignition and reverse gear. The camera should automatically activate. If there is no image, check the voltage on the reverse lamp wire (should be +12V).

5. Calibration (for AVM):

   Connect the scanner Consult-III+ and select AVM Calibration. Follow the instructions on the screen - you will need to place the car on a level surface and mark control points.

If after installation the camera works, but the parking lines are not displayed correctly, you need to adjust them manually through the service menu. To do this:

1. Go to Settings → Camera → Line Calibration.
2. Use the buttons on the steering wheel or the touch screen to adjust the lines to the actual dimensions of the car.
3. Save your settings and check the accuracy in a test parking lot.

Typical faults and solutions

Rear view cameras on Nissan Juke are subject to several typical breakdowns. Let's look at the most common problems and methods for solving them:

1. The camera does not turn on when reverse gear is engaged

Causes and solutions:

• 🔋 No power: Check the fuse F37 (10A) in the block under the steering wheel. If the fuse is good, measure the voltage on the reverse lamp wire (+12V should appear when the gear is engaged).
• 🔌 Wire break: The wiring in the corrugation between the bumper and the body often frays. Test the circuit with a multimeter.
• 🖥️ Multimedia system failure: Reboot the head unit by holding the power button for 10 seconds. If the problem persists, a flashing is required.

2. There is an image, but with noise or ripples

Possible reasons:

• 📶 Poor contact in the connector: Oxidation or contamination of contacts. Clean them with alcohol and check the tightness of the connection.
• 🔄 Interference from other devices: If installed nearby LTE modem or audio amplifier, try shielding the video cable with foil.
• 🎥 Malfunction of the camera itself: Test: Connect the camera to another device (such as a monitor). If interference remains, the camera requires replacement.

3. The camera works, but the parking lines are not displayed

Solutions:

• ⚙️ Reset settings: From the camera menu, select Reset to factory settings.
• 🔄 Firmware update: For Juke with NissanConnect current firmware - v1.56.0 (you can download it from the website Nissan TechInfo).
• 🔧 Manual calibration: If the lines “move” to the side, adjust them through the service menu (see instructions in the previous section).

For models with AVM in case of error C1145 (camera malfunction) the control unit may need to be re-flashed. This can only be done using diagnostic equipment at a service center.

What to do if the camera shows an upside-down image?

This problem occurs when the data transfer protocols between the camera and the head unit do not match. Solutions:

1. Check your camera settings in the media menu - some models (e.g. Boyo VTK275) have the option Flip Image.

2. If there is no option, you will need to install a signal inverter (for example, Pac-Audio VI-FLIP).

3. For original cameras, an inverted image may indicate a faulty unit AVM - in this case, the module needs to be repaired or replaced.

Camera and multimedia system firmware update

A firmware update can resolve compatibility issues, improve picture quality, and add new features (like dynamic parking lines). For Nissan Juke current firmware versions:

Multimedia system model	Current version	Latest version	Download link
NissanConnect (2014–2017)	1.52.0	1.56.0	Official website
NissanConnect (2018–2023)	2.0.12	2.1.8	Official website
AVM Module (2015–2023)	2.5.3	3.0.14	Diagnostic scanner required

To update the firmware of a camera or multimedia system you will need:

1. Download the firmware file from the official website Nissan TechInfo (registration is required).
2. Prepare a USB drive format FAT32 (volume no more than 32 GB).
3. Copy the firmware file to the root folder of the flash drive (the file name must match the instructions, for example, NIS_1560.up).
4. Insert the flash drive into the USB port of the multimedia system and follow the instructions on the screen.

The update process takes 15–30 minutes. Don't turn off the ignition and do not remove the USB drive until the procedure is completed! In the event of a failure, the system may stop booting and will require flashing via the service connector.

After the update, you must reset the camera settings and recalibrate (for systems with AVM). This can be done through the menu or using a diagnostic scanner.

Tips for using and caring for your camera

To make the rear view camera Nissan Juke lasted longer, follow these recommendations:

• 🧼 Cleaning the lens: Use soft microfiber and alcohol solution (at least 70%). Do not use abrasives as they will scratch the lens coating.
• 💧 Moisture protection: After washing the car, check whether water has entered the camera connector. If necessary, blow it out with compressed air.
• ☀️ Parking in the sun: Prolonged exposure to UV rays may cause the camera's plastic body to become cloudy. Use a cover or park in the shade.
• ⚡ Electrical loads: Avoid connecting powerful devices (such as a subwoofer) to the same circuit as the camera. This may cause voltage surges.

If the camera begins to “fog up” from the inside, this indicates depressurization of the housing. A temporary solution is to place the camera in a bag of silica gel for 24 hours. However, in the long term, the module will need to be replaced, as condensation leads to corrosion of the contacts.

To improve night photography, you can install additional IR illumination (For example, Rear View Safety RVS-IL12). They are mounted next to the camera and are activated automatically when reverse gear is engaged. The main thing is to set the lighting angle correctly so as not to blind other drivers.

FAQ: Frequently asked questions

Is it possible to install a rear view camera on a Nissan Juke if it did not come with one from the factory?

Yes, but you will need:

1. Buy a universal camera with a connector RCA or FAKRA.
2. Install an adapter for integration with a multimedia system (for example, Pac-Audio RP5-NIS11).
3. Lay the video cable from the bumper to the head unit (it is recommended to use a shielded cable).
4. Connect the camera power to the reverse lamp wire.

For models with AVM a signal emulation unit will also be required, since the system expects data from four cameras.

Why does the rear view camera on my Juke show a black screen but the parking lines are shown?

This problem is for cases when:

• The video signal does not reach the head unit (check the cable and connectors).
• The camera is faulty (test: connect it to another device).
