OEM camera to Aftermarket double din?

[BradKnob]

Anyone successfully make this happen?

Specifically I have a 2012 sport and a pioneer AVH-X4600BT.

I did some searching but didnt come up with much. Seems I would need a wire to RCA adapter to get video to headunit, but how would you make it camera pop up as soon as the vehicle is put in reverse?

Theres no plug and play adapter (that i found) and my local audio shops seemed to not want to even mess with it.

Anyone?

Your aftermarket head unit should have a reverse trigger wire. When that wire is connected to a reverse signal, it should turn on the video input and display the camera.

Depending on the wiring harness you use, most will provide a reverse input to the Pioneer head unit via the CAN-BUS system. I used the PAC harness found here. You can also buy this harness from METRA to provide you with the RCA plug for your factory back up cam.

Awesome! thats what i wanted to hear

i guess next step is tearing it out and checking my current harness.

I did the same thing... I had an oem camera and I adapted it to an aftermarket radio. What I did was cut the wires on the oem plug for the camera (+), (-), 12v turn on and ground. soldered on an rca connector connected to the back of radio worked perfect.

Do you get moving lines now? What uConnect did you have? What aftermarket head unit do you have now?

Edit: you have a 2012 :-(

radio was a 430N and aftermarket radio was a pioneer. It really doesn't matter which aftermarket radio you have as long as it has a connection for backup camera.

Is this what you see on your screen with the Pioneer? Lines move when you move your steering wheel?

I have the lines but they don't move

Do you have the audio controls on the back of the steering wheel?

Yes, I had to buy 3 different PAC units, then I had to program it. I'm going to be selling them because I sold the truck and have no need for them anymore.

This is what I have..
PAC SWI-RC
PAC SWI-CAN2
PAC RP4-CH11

here is a wiring diagram of the oem connector for the backup camera. You can use this as a reference. All you would need to do is solder on an rca connector.

Camara signal(GY/LB) = connects to positive center of rca connector
Camera return(GY/OR) = connects to ground of rca
Ground(BK) = connects to Ground
backup lamp feed(WT/LG) = connects to (+) trigger (turns camera on)

when you purchase the adaptor to install the aftermarket radio it should bring the connector that plugs into "radio C3 connector"

Does this work even if you never had the factory backup camera?

yes, my truck didn't come with the backup camera. I purchased the oem backup camera kit online and installed it. It's not hard just time consuming. Takes about 4 hours, you have to run the harness under the truck from the back all the way inside the cabin. If your keeping the oem radio you have to make sure that it will accept the camera feed, then take it to the dealer to have it flashed.

Thanks quicksilver. I bought an alpine reverse camera and I see it doesn't have a third cable for the switch you mention on your previous post. It just has the two power cables then rca cable. I have an aftermarket pioneer reveiver. Right now I can set it up where it's on all the time so my pioneer radio switches from the camera to radio. It's gonna be a pain to switch the camera on and off but I guess that's what I have to do. Do you know what color combination the cable wire coming out of the harness from the truck for the switch on/off? Is that the same color from the own connector GY/LB?

Most radios accept a RCA plug for the backup-camera. You can splice an RCA onto the camera wires easily, and then just run power and ground. They sell those RCA jacks with open wires at Radio Shack.

My radio automatically senses when the vehicle goes in reverse and switches to that input so you do not have to wire to the reverse lead.
