Aftermarket radio - using stock camera

I was thinking about swapping my radio, but I want to use the stock camera, I know the bluetooth is a separate device, I would probably just not associate my phone with the stock bluetooth and use the radio's bluetooth.

My question is the backup camera, anyone know how to hook that up to a non factory radio?

 

There is a writeup on this site somewhere that I followed to hook up my Kenwood to the factory camera. If I remember correctly the truck has a ground shielded feed cable and the Kenwood had a 2 wire hook up. It could have been vise versa. Anyhow the negative on the shielded "coax" cable is the stranded/braided wire on the outside and the feed is the inside wire. I took these and hooked them up to the 2 wires on the stereo and now I have the mirror and the radio showing the same display. I wish I had a better explanation for you, but I did a lot of searching on here and I found the writeup. It was a pretty detailed writeup and worked perfectly.

 

darn, thanks, I'm hoping to find it, did some searches but haven't been lucky

 

Your wires are all accessed left of the fuse panel that's under your dash, driver's side. Pull the coin tray and then drop the lower panel that covers this fuse block and if you look to the left you will see a 4-wire white harness and what I think is an 8-wire harness that are plugged in right there. The wires for the video cable are in the 4-wire connector. There are two blacks and a red (the fourth wire is white, yellow or some other color... not important) but the one black is not a standard wire and is instead a taped up portion of wire... this is the shield of your video cable. The red right next to that is your pin. On some decks you will ONLY need the pin wire as the shield will share the ground of the head unit chassis itself so try just the one red wire first. Cut the end off of an RCA cable and splice the center portion into this red wire and you should get video feed to your deck. Most decks default to not interrupt the video feed for your display so make sure ALL of your settings are properly set up as this can be confusing and all of them are different. If you've done all that properly and still don't get video feed go ahead and splice the shield into the shield and then you should be good.

Another pro-tip is that 8-wire (?) harness above that has your reverse wire. It's the solid red wire in that harness and you can use a multi-meter to test it. So if you drop an RCA and your reverse input wire over to that location you can get all the input source you need for a backup camera rather than taking your reverse wire elsewhere.
