How to replace the radio and add a rear camera on a 2007 Honda CR-V
Honda CR-V third generation: 2007-2011

This video walks through the removal of the OEM Honda radio/receiver head unit, the installation of a Boss BE7ACP-C radio/receiver head unit, and the installation of a Boss ELPC40B rear view license plate mount camera. This Boss model comes with both the head unit and rear camera as a package.

The Boss BE7ACP-C has a 7" (178mm) capacitive touchscreen, AM/FM receiver, Bluetooth®, MP3-compatible, Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto, 340 Watts. The Boss ELPC40B is a weatherproof hi-res rear view license plate mount camera with a hidden mounting bracket and LED lights to illuminate the area behind the camera.

I purchased the Boss product from Crutchfield, however, this video is not sponsored in any way by Crutchfield or by Boss. I will note, though, that the Crutchfield "ReadyHarness" is worth its weight in gold. Items purchased from Crutchfield for this installation are:

1. Boss BE7ACP-C Package - Item 104BE7ACPC
2. American International HON-K817 Dash Kit (Black) - Item 003HONK817
3. Crux SWRHN-62B Wiring Interface - Item 249HN62B
4. Posi-Products™ Wire Connectors - Item 669PP605
5. Crutchfield ReadyHarness™ Service - Item 264PASCON

Also, be sure to have a set of auto-trim removal tools -- you will need them.
