will the back-up camera you used work on the stock navi systemd?

Congrats AK, looks sweet, how did you get the 2 green lines to show when you were backing up that measures the distance? I saw another persons on this site and his did not have the green/red lines when backing up, also, how did you get the camera to stay on when you were driving forward? I want to get a Kenwood but I am a fan of the touch screen only and I am curious if your unit is the only unit that has all these features.

Thats probably the best video of their installation, thanks for sharing!!!!

I am not sure. I really haven't looked at nav diagrams and wires. I have to look into it.

Those lines are built into the camera. I think they are used to keep you on the straight track backing up (or maybe distance measure, I really don't know).The other guy went with a different camera. I was surprised his camera didn't came with those lines since his camera cost close to $200 where mine costs only $35!

When you press and hold the NAV button (top left), you activate the camera.

My HU has built in bluetooth, USB, NAVI, and dvd. I have added back up cam and SIRIUS. You can add ipod control for about $25. Is that what you're looking for?

Yeah, I am looking to get a back up camera, DVD player, Navi, bluetooth, USB and iphone compatibility I really do not care for the Sirius radio though. I hope the other Kenwoods have the same options........only one problem.......first I need the car, unfortunately I cannot find a base PG AT with SPKG anywhere.....might have to wait til 2010. Might settle on black or Brilliant Silver but not to sure....

Again, that is a pimp set up. Congrats and thanks for the info!

AK………..How fast is the Kenwood’s start up time? Is the backup camera instantly on after starting your car?
Do you have any plans for the base speakers?
