From what I see, could we complete a circuit using PIN#3 to PIN#4 enabling the "Mode select signal for rearview camera"?

Connect PIN#14 to any wire that becomes hot in R or Reverse Gear (reverse lights).
Connect PIN#19 for camera video signal.
Connect PIN#18 for camera ground.
Connect PIN#20 for camera power.

Also, just wanna make sure, we will be splicing the video wire and crimping all these wires to PINs in this project? or are there capped wires on the harness already? Wanna make sure so I can go buy Connector PINs as well.

 

I think pin #5 using to switch camera angle, but its only theory. My Camera doesn't support this or I dont know about it.

 

Xplorer, do the LEDs on that camera you posted a link to come on only when in reverse, or do they replace your normal license plate light?

 

Subs. Normal lic plate light as stock light replaced by the camera

 

direct analogue signal on pin 3 to 14 for ground.

 

Well done xplorer!

BTW, the camera xplorer linked will not work for an Si; the view is blocked.

 

Any one know what camera will work for an SI ?

 

Great job man! A different look at what xplorer did, but still well done!

 

This thread should be a sticky!

 

To be honest. I reallllyyyy dont know what you guys are doing with pins. I have no clue how to do this at all. Im good at following pictures. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE AND PLEASE do a DIY thread for this? I feel stupid (((((((((

 

I wonder if Xplorer or someone else can give us a step by step on how to get
to the Imid Wiring harness to hook up the camera. Also, how to insert/attach
the wires to the harness.

 

tag!

 

 

Im temped to make kits and do a diy video for the vid, if I can make it fully functional and all the bugs worked out.

 

Still waiting

 

I ordered my camera too, this is easy now, any members in the inland empire I don't mind helping you out with this once I get mine in the mail

 

How do you plan to connect the wires to the imid?

 

I'm looking for pins right now, I'm curious how xplorer did his? What's your plan for the wires.

 

I'm using disassemble pins from old harnesses.

 

I'm fairly new to Honda, but what other generation/honda model pins can I use, can I just pop on over to the junkyard and find some pins, From say a ecu harness?

 

I am as well. I havent actually looked at the back of the imid yet. but I have 3 different sets of pins im ready to test once the camera gets in this week.

 

I feel ya on that, and what were you thinking With the RCA video wire, just cutting the connection off and wiring it into the pins? 0r getting a female RCA end and wire that into the imid harness to plug the camera into?

 

I hope that either of those options will work.

By the way, I found two options to avoid running a coax from the back of the car to the iMID:

I purchased and tested this wireless setup.

Or if you want a wired setup, you can use a Cat5 cable and a pair of video baluns.

I have all the parts; the only thing holding me back from completing the project is my reluctance to disassemble the dash of a car with less than 2,000 miles.

 

I have a spare female Im gonna use.

 

Victor do you have the pins for wiring it into the imid?

 

ok ive pinned connectors before
but you guys are making this super confusing.

so i understand you need,
1.Backup cam
2.Wireless transponder thing
3. Pins

then what
what pins do i buy,
and how do i connect this?

it sounds super simple.
do i add pins to the connector?

where do i wire the wires.
i read the whole thread and only kinda get it.
what are the main connectors pins involved, where do i add the new pins and wires, what connects to what.
someone draw me a ghetto diagram

 

Ill respond when I get the cam in this week.

 

I was wondering how you got the backup camera on your 2012 Odyssey EX? I have one and that is what I am trying to add.
