    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

    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..

    I DID IT

    What a nightmare fitting a new head unit was. I had to get the wiring diagram from the US vehicross and turns out its different to the JDM

    Also the addaptor i got to go from Isuzu to the new headunit had a female connector and guess what.......so did the isuzu!!!! so had to make a new connector off the old and new ones!!!! took ages but my advise is follow the wire colours on the wiring diagram and NOT their position number on the connector block as they are wrong!

    For the camera feed, there is a yellow RCA video out on the metal box located where the jack is, simply run that to the headunit camera in. For the headunit to show the camera when putting it in reverse you simply connect it to a reverse light feed (which i found under the passenger seat )

    So everything still works without the OEM head unit, i was worried the power for the reverse camera and its motorised flap came from th head unit but it doesn't. It all still works fine with the new head unit.
