2013-2015 Chevrolet Malibu Factory BackUp Camera Replacement (2013, 2014, 2015)

Introduction

This guide demonstrates how to replace a factory-installed backup camera in a 2013 Chevy Malibu. This guide is different than most because this camera is already installed, the cables are all routed already and that makes the guide that much simpler. Remember to work safely when dealing with any exposed wires, and work with the car off (keys out of ignition). Since no technology lasts forever, even factory-installed technology can fail. If the OEM backup camera in your 2013-2015 Chevrolet Malibu stops working, follow this guide to replace it.

Coordinate the colored wires to keep the repair simple. Match the new wires to the existing wires through the splitter. Use a wire splitter to expose the wire.
Then simply connect the wires to the wires for reverse light.

Step 4

The green wire is the camera connection or positive wire and the black is the ground.
This line should already be connected correctly because you should have only switched wires that connected to the camera.
