[DIY] Install Rearview Camera for Stock Nav (2010)

ins_man · 10-28-2017, 11:10 PM

Thanks. I gave up after a few failed attempts and even put the whole dash back together. Today, I decided to try one more time. Worked like a charm. The only other question is ... does anyone know how to turn on the active guidelines within the factory Nav unit?

Bump... Does anyone know how to activate the backup camera guidelines on the OEM navigation unit?

Here you go, once you access this menu, there are options to turn on oem guidelines.

With Radio off
Press and hold the “Settings” button and turn the volume control counter clockwise.
After about 40 clicks a menu will appear
Select “confirmation/adjustment”*
Next move down to “Camera” and select*
Then select “Camera Syst Type” and change from “No Camera” to “With Rear view Camera”
Come all the way out of the menus using the back button and the system will reboot
Now when you put the car in reverse, if a blue screen appears with*“Please check your surroundings”*message your car is compatible

I did all of that. I now have a back up camera but no guide lines.

Did you go through the entire hidden menu? There should be an option to turn on or off guidelines.

Yes. I found a setting that appears to turn on the lines and I also found some setting values to key in, but it still doesn't have lines. I'll keep playing with it.

Make sure the pins are pushed in all the way, I didn't and the video flickered, but now it's perfect. I just need a camera that doesn't have built in lines.

In the connector picture (sorry it's blurry), the two blank ones on the top roe between the red and black wires are pins 8 and 7.

I'm using a license plate camera I ordered off of eBay, it replaced the left license plate light.

Where is the white plug in the first pic located?

It's from behind the oem radio I believe.

Why do we need to buy a white plug? Don't you just plug the jumper in 7 & 8 pin into the existing plug in the back of the radio?

Spinja1991 · 04-20-2021, 01:27 PM

This may be a bit of a long shot, especially on such an old thread. But does anybody have any spare Schmartboard cables that have been suggested that I could purchase from you and have posted to the UK?

I really can't find an alternative, and the options I've tried really don't want to play ball.

Thanks!
