As I recall, beyond the instructions that I copied in my first reply to you (and the power source adjustment that I mention 1) I connected one of the 2 white connectors that you show in the picture above to my factory harness (the other white connector is unused for our application) 2) The...

@bjmigrino 1) by turning on, if you mean that the app on the radio comes on, that can happen independently from the camera having power (that said ... if this is the case, then you have correctly identified the reverse wire and connected it to the correct location on your headunit to trigger...

I simply followed the directions as described ... the reason that I recommended the troubleshooting steps above is because the reverse wire is the mostly likely place to have an error (whether there is a wiring error or a low voltage situation that could affect power to the camera or triggering...

Since people still seem to be referring to this ... here is a minor update ... I have retained all of the same wiring as before, but due to a kid induced screen crack of the original headunit during a family trip (long story), I have upgraded the headunit. I am now using(and have been for...

@bjmigrino I am assuming that you followed these directions " To retain the factory backup camera to an aftermarket radio: • Connect the Black wire to chassis ground, and also to the Black wire of the AX-CAM6V. • Connect the Yellow wire to the Blue/Red wire of the AX-CAM6V. • Connect the...

Forgive me for my brief replies ... I am between meetings right now. but as I recall Not all of the harness was connected to the adapters (this is partially because of the separate bluetooth unit ... which I do not use in my current setup, I use the aftermarket stereo's bluetooth) Connector B...

I am still satisfied ... My wife is as well. The main continued benefit is the significantly better GPS. I recently used a couple of the XDA threads above to improve the voice recognition for dialing (now using "Ok Google") (the threads were the upgrade of the Android OS thread, the remap of Ok...

You are correct. The main reason that I did this is that I placed a RCA Y-adapter onto the video output of the camera and split the video signal between the back-up camera input on the radio and the accessory video input on the radio. I have used this when I have had a bike rack mounted to my...

Picture Here is a quick picture from when I was stopped at a traffic light. The only thing that is not shown is the USB connector in the cubby to the left of the USB-Aux connector that is shown.

A few updates after the install (life got in the way so I just completed the install this weekend) From my initial unanswered questions ... 1) YES - the sounds from the BSM (blind spot monitoring) are preserved 2) I used the MP4-MZ11 adapter ... this worked "nearly" as expected (find details...

Steve - if you are interested in upgrading to an Android based unit, then I have outlined the items that you will need in the "upgrading a 2012 headunit" post a few posts before this one (even if you are looking at another headunit, the steps would be quite similar) - considerations that will be...

I am tired of the navigation and bluetooth provided by my factory system on my 2012 CX-9 with Nav/Bose/Sirius/Backupcamera/RSES (RES). I have been doing a fair bit of research and summarize it below for others that may be considering this. Please correct anything in my summary that is...
