Camera connection diagram:



Камера (Video Out) → Монитор (Camera In)


Камера (+12V) → Фонарь заднего хода (через предохранитель 5A)


Камера (GND) → Кузов автомобиля

If the camera does not turn on automatically when you engage reverse gear, check:

  1. Wire connection REVERSE on the monitor to the reversing light signal.
  2. Monitor settings: the option must be enabled in the menu Auto Camera On.
💡

For correct operation of the rear view camera, the voltage on it +12V should only be applied when reverse gear is engaged. Connecting directly to the battery will cause the camera to work continuously and drain the battery.

Firmware update and monitor settings

Even the most modern monitor can be unstable without the correct firmware. For Teana J32 The following nuances are relevant:

  • 📲 Android monitors: Update the firmware regularly through the manufacturer's official website. For example, for Pumpkin current version - Android 10 with patch for CAN-Bus.
  • 🔄 Standard monitors: Firmware is updated via service connector OBD-II using the program Nissan Consult.
  • 🎵 Sound settings: If you have no sound after installing a new monitor, check your settings Audio Output (must be selected Front/Rear or Bose, if there is an amplifier).

Instructions for updating firmware using an example Joying JY-UL135N:

  1. Download the firmware from official website (select your monitor model).
  2. Copy the file update.img to a flash drive (format FAT32).
  3. Insert the flash drive into the monitor and go to Settings → Software Update.
  4. Confirm the update and wait for the reboot (do not turn off the power!).
⚠️ Attention: If after the update the monitor stops responding to the CAN bus, reset it to factory settings (Settings → Backup & Reset → Factory Reset). Then reconfigure the settings CanBus.

To fine-tune the sound in monitors with Bose use equalizer:

  • Install Bass on +2, Treble on +1.
  • Disable Loudness (it distorts the sound at high volumes).
  • In settings Audio Output select 4CH (if an amplifier is connected).

Common installation mistakes and how to avoid them

Even experienced car owners make mistakes when replacing a monitor in Teana J32. Here are the most common ones and ways to prevent them:

  • ❌ Incorrect CAN-Bus connection: If confused CAN-H And CAN-L, the monitor will not see data from the on-board computer. Always check the diagram!
  • ❌ Ignoring camera polarity: When connected in reverse +12V And GND the camera will burn out. Check with a multimeter.
  • ❌ No fuse: Powering the camera or monitor without a fuse may cause a fire. Use fuse on 5A for camera and 10A for the monitor.
  • ❌ Permission incompatibility: If your monitor only supports HDMI, and the camera gives A/V, you will need a converter.

Another typical problem is noise in speakers after installing a new monitor. Reasons:

  • Poor contact in connectors RCA or ISO.
  • Absence grounding monitor (connect GND to the metal part of the body).
  • Conflict with amplifier Bose (decided by setting Audio Output on the monitor).
