Crux CUB-15

What would cause the camera to be out of focus? Tested camera before final install and image was in focus. Installed camera in the cut-out hole, and now image is out of focus.

We do not have the size of the cutout needed for the lock. This needs a cutout of 7/8" (22.5mm) to be mounted.

I would like to use this on a 2019 chevy 3500 pickup. Can the GM oem plug be wired to this camera?

The lens does not move like a photography camera, so it good be only two things. A dirty or damaged lens, water on the lens will cause it to go out of focus when there is rain. Or, some sort of electrical problem. On of the wires damaged during installation or running next to something causing interference (this is unlikely). I would clean the lens as a first step. One last thought, the lens fixture may have been damaged during installation or not put together correctly. Check for cracks around the lens or a loose lens.

Is this Camera Submersible, looking to install on Boat Trailer?

Check clearance area were camera will be installed. Camera has low profile. Can be installed in most installations.

Will this work on 206 ram 1500 wit a ra2 radio?

I wouldn't submerge it. Every time I aggressively wash the back of my van, the camera view gets a little foggy, misty for a few days. I figure it's water related.

[ carexpert Dec 29, 2020 ]

[ Joe Dec 16, 2020 ]

Is the short cable from the camera a 4 pin or 5 pin ?

Joe, I do not really understand your question. I had this camera installed on the rear bumper of my Audi Quattro where it is working just fine. I don't remember the brand of the radio. Sorry I can't be of more help.

What temperatures is this camera rated to?

If I'm remembering correctly, it's just an aux in that plugs directly into the head unit and the a black and red 18 gauge for the power. If you google the crux and go directly to their website and look at the manual

[ Kyle Nov 11, 2020 ]

[ Paul Apr 09, 2020 ]

We don't have that spec measured and it is not listed in the manufacturers specs either. It has a 1 year warranty, so as long as it's mounted correct, it should be covered at least that long.

6v or 12v?

[ Joshua Feb 23, 2020 ]

Can you disable parking lines if your aftermarket stereo already has them?

12 volt

[ Larry Feb 24, 2020 ]

[ Pete Feb 23, 2020 ]

12v for sure. May have an input volt range?

[ DARREN Feb 23, 2020 ]

12 volt. Excellent video quality.

[ Stephen Feb 23, 2020 ]

[ RyanH Feb 07, 2020 ]

How does it know when your in reverse?

Yes, the parking lines are selectable. You can remove the park assist lines by connecting together the two exposed white wires on the camera's cable.

Camera powers up by your reverse lights and connect the wire on unit to camera power lead wire and that triggers only the screen to change to display image.

[ Jim Sep 06, 2019 ]

The reverse light signal to your head unit.

[ Frank Sep 05, 2019 ]

This is just a camera that would need to be connected to compatible head unit. The head unit will determine when to show camera image when in reverse.

Will this fit the 2015 Ford F-250 Superduty tailgate emblem?

Kenwood ddx373bt will this work with that receiver?

That I don't no.. my buddy got the tail gat latch with camera hole..

[ Randy Aug 27, 2019 ]

I had to mount mine on the plastic part of the center bumper. Only spot that made sense. Also, the included hole saw is too small, you'll have to widen the hole a little to get the camera to fit.

pmx 3 Rockford fosgate- Can this camera be used with this system?

Yes it will Mine works great.

[ Richard Jul 31, 2019 ]

So far the camera has worked very well with my Pioneer receiver.

What size hole saw comes with this? I have an existing hole in my tire carrier that I fear may be too big.

[ Ken Jul 02, 2019 ]

Can this camera be mounted off center? Like to one side of the license plate? Or does it have to be centered?

Hi Ken! The Crux CUB-15 will come with the bit needed to drill a 7/8" (22.5mm) hole. Chat with an Advisor online or by phone at 1-800-324-9695, they will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

I just bought the bullet backup camera, installed it to my pioneer AVH110BT, because I didn't want a bulky camera. I'm seeing everything that is on the left on the right, and when I move it, it's all backwards. I dont want to buy a new head unit because of cost, how can I get the camera to flip the image?

we mounted it in the center of the bumper...I see no reason why you could not install it off-center. however, it gives you lane indicators so if you are off center the lane information might be a bit off. The camera direction is adjustable because it is in an eyeball socket so you might be able to adjust it to minimize the off center effect?

[ JAMES P Mar 23, 2019 ]

Although I mounted mine in the center, I see no reason why it wouldn't work off center. if you were trailering and wanted to the line the hitch up, you'd probably want it centered but otherwise should work fine next to the license plate. Good luck

[ Christopher Mar 23, 2019 ]

For best view I would recommend center mount, but could be used off center.

[ John Mar 23, 2019 ]

It can be mounted anywhere you want to drill a hole. It does not have any mounting brackets or screws, but is flush mounted to your vehicle for a more stock or professional appearance. It includes the proper drill bit for mounting as well

I think you might need to cut a jumper wire to flip the image, check the instructions.

[ Erik Feb 25, 2019 ]

There is a reverse image jumper wire in the harness near the camera that you can cut.

[ Daniel Feb 25, 2019 ]

I can't remember exactly how this works but that was how mine was when I got it as well. There should have been a little piece of paper that came with the camera. There should be 4 little wires separated from the rest. 2 of them control the guidelines the other 2 control the image. When you change them (pull them apart or put them together) It will flip the picture. I believe the ones that flip the image are blue and the grid lines are white.

[ Alex Feb 25, 2019 ]

Hi Mitch, you should be able to flip the image horizontally by cutting the blue wire -- the details are in the owner's manual PDF linked from the Overview tab on Crutchfield. Please note that you can also rotate the camera lens assembly within the housing to adjust the angle and orientation of the image. Good luck!

[ Benjamin Feb 25, 2019 ]

There is a wire about a foot away from the camera that has a silver tag on it that says cut for reverse image if you cut this wire it reverses the image

[ Jodie Feb 25, 2019 ]

It is not clear to me what is the proper orientation of the camera. Should the grooved portion of the outer lip be facing up if you want to use this as a reverse camera?

[ Moose Feb 12, 2019 ]

Does this specific model come with the license plate cover or is it just alone?

The camera is adjustable after installing so it doesn't really matter. Put the grooves however they look better on your vehicle and then rotate the camera for the best view.

[ Anonymous Feb 14, 2019 ]

The camera is adjustable

[ Chris Feb 14, 2019 ]

On mine, the groove is at the bottom (6 O'clock). The camera can be moved around, but to look at the ground, it sits into that groove to keep it from moving around at all. The groove also allows it to look downward a little bit more to see the ground behind you.

[ Trenton Feb 14, 2019 ]

it does not matter ounce u get it mounted u can turn it how u need for it to work to ur preference . It stays realy well in its place wife has had hers on her jeep for about a year now no issues. And she is pretty rough on her jeep.

There is no license plate cover included.

[ Holly Dec 26, 2018 ]

It is a stand alone so it doesnt come with a license plate. This model will be more suitable for installation on the front or rear bumper.

Can I use this on a stock Jeep Wrangler touch screen radio?

[ Jim Nov 30, 2018 ]

How deep of a gap do you need to install this in to?

You will want to contact an Advisor by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat to discuss compatibility with your factory system. They will be able to pull up your vehicle and see if this will integrate. If it does not, then they will also be able to discuss other options with you.

What size hole does this fit?

20 ft

[ Dean Aug 31, 2018 ]

Couldn't tell you the exact length, but I can say that I had enough cable to run from my tailgate handle, through the tailgate, the underside of an 8 ft. bed plus screw cab, and up to the radio. It was just enough, but it did make it. And, it works perfect. I couldn't be happier the picture.

[ Anonymous Aug 31, 2018 ]

Well I can't honestly answer that. I got a 4 door Toyota. It went frm tailgate latch over to the tail light along the frame up to firewall An to my radio. Had 6in to spare. Wud be nice if it was alil longer.. camera does wrk good tho

[ Randy Aug 30, 2018 ]

I did not remember but it was extra long for my fj cruiser

[ tom Aug 30, 2018 ]

[ Phillip Mar 25, 2018 ]

I have a 2001 F150. I think there is room in the tailgate near the handle to install the camera.Will this fit any receiver with a display? is that aspect of the installation universal?

It comes with a drill bit to drill for it but you may need to file in addition because it's very snug.

[ KORY K Apr 08, 2018 ]

It comes with the whole saw that u need.. but it's a lil small so u will have to die grind it out a lil bit
