will this camera work if installed in the front end of car and connected to an AV input on the DNX 890 HD....bypassing the typical reverse hookup?

I'm pretty sure you can set your stereo to a front view ( not mirrored like a reverse application). All you need is to hook up a switched 12 v supply. Depending on the head unit you may need to switch to the av input, but some will switch automatically when a signal is sensed. Hope this helps

This is a backup camera and only sees behind you and is activated by putting the car in reverse. So unless you are going backwards and the deer is behind you, then the answer is "no".

YES! I'm using it for two reasons: 1. for the car sterio and 2, for two hidden cameras and a small dvr. That's what i'm using it for and it works for me. Hope that helps. David in NY!

We wondered that too. Our son said the wires hook the camera to the car so it will operate. Hope that helps! It does provide a nice picture on the screen. The "wireless" thing is confusing to us too - seems it is a misnomer. Good luck and I hope that helped.

The cords that this camera uses is BNC which is a twist end to connect to a DVR or camera. I know RadioShack sells adapters for BNC so there might be one for 4 Pin din cord.

Not sure about a Honda but my Chrysler had rear camera capability so I just had to run the wires to back of the MyGIG and activate it.

The camera does not. The hook up for the reverse circuit is in the unit the camera hooks to, if it needs one. If it is a stand alone installation, like for a trailer hookup, then it will work.

It gets it's power directly from the head unit. As long as your head unit supports video you will be fine. It's universal so it will automatically work.

I am pretty sure its going to work if you connect with bnc connecters. I have Qsee dvr which is not a problem. about the camera its a very good one. I can see 150 feet in color with street light clearly. hope this helps. thank you.

Yes, if you (or your installer) connects it properly. In my Escape, the voltage was backwards and my installer had to use some sort of device to switch the voltage when the car was put in reverse. The rear view camera is a MUST!!! Will never get another car without it.

The input on your screen would determine if the camera is compatible with you factory system. The camera has two RCA plugs that may or may not plug into your car's.

Yes, that is what I did so the display only comes on when the vehicle in reverse. I ran a wire parallel to the video cable and made the connections at the same place as the camera.

Should be able to. I only used one camera so I just put the av1 on an ignition source and it's on while I drive. You can activate the av2 camera with a backup wire or toggle switch if you need to. Read the directions on which wire activities what av source. I drive around 3 hours one way. And it's on the whole time.

I believe that is more related to the firmware/software in the head unit. As I was reading up on this camera and alternatives, prior to buying it, some reviews said that depending on your head unit, the picture may be reversed. I would check your head unit's features, as the camera doesn't do the "reversing," the H/U takes care of that.

I think the problem is that there is only one camera input. I don't think this would work. It's a great idea, though. The "fooling it to believe it's in Park" is the least of the problems. Incidentally, if you haven't bought yet, and you own an iPhone get AppRadio 3 with CarPlay. This AppRadio2 has become very problematical with IOS8. If I knew then what I know now, I would have waited for the unit with CarPlay. That's if you use an iPhone 5 or later.

I can't imagine it not working. This is a fairly simple piece of equipment. I think, maybe, the emphasis on laptops is because most laptops tend top come "fully loaded" for multi-media whereas desktops - maybe not. My Dell laptop already had all the software I needed to use the camera. If you don't have the software to process the signal coming from the camera, you might need to download something.

It's a camera and should be wired into your backup light and only work when you put the vehicle in reverse if properly installed. You will have a picture of what's behind the vehicle when in reverse but when you shift into forward the the monitor screen goes blank.
