I installed a front camera into the grill of my truck the other day. The picture quality looks like absolute butt, so I ordered a replacement camera. I got that this morning and hooked it up, but the picture quality is still trash. I guess the video connector I made is bad. I ordered a Z automotive connector because I was getting the runaround on the uninsulated female spade terminals that go into the back of the radio.
I plan on doing a write up with a bunch of pictures, but here’s a few in the meantime.
Defective connector (maybe) that I made:

At this point my replacement camera looks the same as the original, so either this camera just sucks or it’s the video connector like I’m thinking. The pictures doesn’t do justice for how bad it looks. (It looks 8-bit like nintendo)
