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

l2iceman · 05-22-2017, 10:41 PM

Hey everyone, so I decided to finally try this today. And instructions on first page are accurate. Here are the photos I've taken showing the back of the connector, it counts from right to left, top to bottom. Plug 7 and 8 are the correct ones to connect to. 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.

I got these jumpers but the pins don't seem to be long enough to go through the plug and make a good connection with the Nav unit. Are you using the headers in some way?

I used one of those thin screwdrivers used for like eye glass repair, to shove the pins all the way through.

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?

Where is the white plug in the first pic located?
