Let me know how it worked out for you? Also, if you need any help or have questions, let me know...

Thank you so much for the photo's.

I've been holding out on this project for some time, deciding on the head unit right for me.

Now with the recent announcement at Google I/O for 'Android Auto', i'm super excited and will be awaiting the first gen aftermarket HU's that are supplied with this feature, hopefully later this year.

If anyone didn't follow this, it enables a feature similar to how AppRadio works, but a native mirroring of your Android smartphone right onto the aftermarket display with a simple USB cord.

Not only that, but being a native android compatible feature, 'Android Auto' will have many other features, such as voice command integration. Plug your phone in, and speak them words, listen to and reply to texts, etc.

You guys can Google it for more info, but its 1000x better than AppRadio, and an answer to Apples up and coming CarPlay non-sense, yea, not a fan of Apple.

So with some heavy hitters announcing they will make aftermarket HU's like Alpine, Pioneer, JVCKenwood, and many others, the Android Auto will be worth waiting for to me.

Also, will mean they can produce many sub $500 displays, since they won't need navigation built in, the phone is doing all that, it just needs to be a feature compatible display, and display only, you're phone is literally doing the rest with Nav, Music, video, etc.

Another thread to update.
Adding to this thread and maybe one or two others as I just added my aftermarket radio to my stock rear camera and some of the wires are different colors than what I've been seeing here. My Z is a 2019 Heritage manual.

In some threads I've seen the camera wires as being contained within a larger insulated gray wire. In my case it was a blue wire.
Some images show this gray wire containing 1 green, 1 red, 1 white and 1 black wire. In my case there was a red, white and black wire.
I tapped the white wire as ground and the black wire as positive for the rca cable that connects to the rear of my radio.
This differs from other instructions stating that the black wire is ground, red is positive and green is the reverse light trigger.

Here's an image from another thread showing the blue wire in the back hatch area. It looks the same in the kick panel.

For the trigger wire that shows voltage when in reverse, some threads referred to an orange or tan wire in the drivers side kick panel area. My wire is tan with a white stripe, also in the kick panel.

Hope this helps others with late model Z's that might have the same wiring as mine.
