Frequently Asked Questions - CFF-02 CRUX

How do I power the CRUX CFF-02 camera?

The camera requires a +12V trigger. You can power it from the headunit using Red Wire B or from the reverse light wire using Red Wire A. Do not connect both red wires to +12V simultaneously. Black wire must be grounded to vehicle body metal.

How can I enable or disable parking guidelines?

Parking lines are controlled by the WHITE loop wire. By default, the lines are ON (joined wire). To turn them OFF, cut the white loop wire. Disconnect power to reset the camera after changing.

Can I use this camera as a front-facing camera?

Yes, you can use it as a front camera by flipping the image horizontally. This is done by joining the GREEN loop wire. By default, the image is not flipped (wire cut). After joining, disconnect power to reset.

What is the butterfly mount used for?

The butterfly mount allows for flexible installation on various surfaces, providing a secure and adjustable angle for the camera. It can be mounted on the rear or front of the vehicle.

What parts are included in the package?

The package includes the CFF-02 camera, an extension coax cable, a regulator, and a wiring harness with red, black, white, and green wires.

How do I connect the camera to my aftermarket radio?

Connect the camera's coax cable to the regulator, then to the extension cable, and finally to the radio's backup camera input. Power the camera using either red wire as described. The radio should detect the camera when reverse is engaged.

What does the green wire do?

The GREEN wire controls horizontal image flip. When the loop wire is cut (default), the image is normal (rear view). When joined, the image is flipped horizontally for front camera use.

What does the white wire do?

The WHITE wire controls parking guidelines. Joined (default) shows guidelines; cut hides them.

Can I install this camera myself?

Yes, installation is straightforward for those familiar with car electronics. You need to tap into the reverse light or headunit for power and ground. The coax cable connects to the radio. Ensure proper insulation of unused wires.

Why is my camera not displaying?

Check that the camera is receiving +12V power on the selected red wire and that the black wire is properly grounded. Also verify the coax connections are secure and the radio is set to the correct input. If using reverse trigger, ensure the reverse lights are working.
