JDM Reverse Camera Adaptors For New Head Unit ?

[crotchrocket]

I had a look at the wiring on the head unit at the weekend as i want to put a new one in. The reverse camera plugs straight into the standard head unit. I need it to connect to a standard Yellow RCA plug!! Has anyone done this? I can't find an adaptor.

Also, does the power for the camera come out of the head unit on this wire?

It is the centre socket in these (poor) photo's

all i can help you with is that the left 2 plugs are standard for cameras, or ipod cables

looking at the bottom pic. the stock vx cam plugs into the middle on, Named CCD i think.

When i was looking for headunits over here i could only find some japanese cheapy looking units with that plug. in my price range. instead i mounted a another headunit down in the 1 din cubby hole.

Crotch i found some odd looking plug thing in the back of the vx on the left hand side. where the jack is, the camera plugs into it, It also has 1 aux type input.

Not sure what it does :S.

I can get a pic for you if you want

Sweet as its fairly hidden, like behind the plastic i think. i noticed it when i was replacing my rear speakers, im sure youl find it tho.

Good luck.

i cut the entire cable, and its very easy to find the video one and splice a rca plug into it.. mine now plugs into anything.. all you have to do is hook i think its a brown wire up to the reverse, maybe a pink.. that opens the door over the camera..

Wish I'd seen this before as I could have saved you all that trouble! I did mine a few weeks back and discovered the little box at the back. I got the double din unit from eBay that does everything, including sat nav which is kinda neat.

If you've got a single din spare, why not mount your CB in there or make a plate up and fix your scangauge in it?

Yes think i will as the CB speaker is now running through the stereo. The scanguage can stay in place of the ash tray i think

My hole stereo surround is broken in 4 places so needs re-making

did it get big ugly cracks in it where it joins to the piece in the dash.
mine had one hairline cracked put layered some hot glue on it to give it some strength
