About the Crux CPR-01C

There's lots to love about your Cayman, but with Crux's CPR-01C custom-fit backup camera installed, you're about to love it a whole lot more. Crux builds the wide-angle camera into a plate mount that fits in the overhang above your license plate. An included 20-foot cable connects to the back of an aftermarket radio radio or video screen with a composite video input. Once installed, you'll see a 170-degree wide picture of what's behind you on your radio's display or monitor like those built into select replacement rear-view mirrors with a composite video input.
Installing this camera yourself? Here's what you should know.
What does it do? Unless otherwise noted, a backup camera is only intended for use backing up your vehicle. (If you require a front-view or constant rear-view camera, check for that capability.)
What tools and supplies will I need? A panel tool, a wire cutter/stripper, a soldering iron, and a rosin-core solder with heat shrink tubing are recommended, along with whatever tools are needed to remove the radio from the dash.
How much wiring is required? Wiring instructions vary from camera to camera. Some cameras have power wiring that can only be connected near the radio. Others let you power the camera at compatible reverse lights. In all cases, the camera must be wired for power and ground, the camera's video output must be connected to the radio/monitor, and the radio/monitor must be connected to a reverse trigger in your vehicle. Some radio replacement interfaces supply a reverse trigger wire for the radio -- using that wire to power your camera will damage the interface.
Will the included video cable be long enough? You'll need to route the camera's video cable from its mounting location outside your vehicle into your vehicle's cabin and all the way to the screen in the dash. This often requires drilling a small hole in your vehicle or filing some metal and or plastic. You'll also need to estimate the length of cable needed to run from the camera to the dash, which will not be a straight shot. Each camera's cable length is listed.

Features
Porsche Cayman Rear-View Camera: The Crux CPR-01C Porsche Cayman rear-view camera is specifically designed for a 2005-2012 Porsche Cayman with an aftermarket in-dash multimedia or navigation receiver installed. Your aftermarket receiver must feature an integrated video monitor and a composite video camera input. The CPR-01C replaces the light bulb assembly above your rear-mounted license plate (light bulb is not included; you will still use the light bulb out of your factory light bulb assembly). With the Crux CPR-01C rear-view camera installed, you'll be able to view what's behind you on your in-dash aftermarket receiver's video monitor when you put your vehicle in reverse.
Image Sensor & Lens: The Crux CPR-01C rear-view camera features a CCD image sensor that offers 480 lines of resolution (NTSC or PAL). The bright f/1.8 lens has 170° (horizontal) x 90° (vertical) viewing angle. The minimum illumination is 0.2 Lux.
Park Assist Lines: The rear-view camera provides parking assist lines on the screen of your vehicle's in-dash aftermarket monitor. These parking lines are there to assist you when backing up into a parking space. There are two vertical lines which help you judge the left and right edges of the parking space and your vehicle. There are also 3 color-coded horizontal lines that are used to distinguish how close you are getting to the end of the parking spot - Green (Clear), Yellow (Getting Close), Red (Very Close).
Connections: The rear-view camera features an attached 2' power/video cable which plugs into the included 20' video cable which also features attached 2.5' power/ground wires. At the end of the video cable is a male RCA composite video plug, which connects to the composite, rear-view camera input of your aftermarket head unit. The power (red) & ground (black) wires will need to be hardwired. 12V power can be obtained from your vehicle's reverse light circuit or from the reverse gear wire of your aftermarket stereo (if applicable). The ground will need to connected to your vehicle's metal chassis. In addition there are separate power and ground wires attached to rear-view camera that will need to be hardwired into your vehicle's license-plate lighting circuit.
Waterproof Housing: The Crux CPR-01C Porsche Cayman rear-view camera features an IP67-IP68 waterproof housing.
