Bump,

I'd still like to see how this can be done on a 2013 non-Navi Civic while still retaining backup camera functionality.

Update: I don't log on very often so sorry for the delayed response. I hooked this up for my friends wifes car that has a buckup camera but no navigation. It's a million times easier. All I did was spliced the dvd video wire onto the signal wire from the camera to the i-Mid. You don't have to add pins because they are already there. Then I still ran the toggle switch to a separate 12v source so I can switch the screen on for the player. The only issue is the toggle switch has to be off when you back up. If it's still on and you go into reverse both images try to go onto the screen at the same time and you are unable to see anything really. Hope this helps.

Hey i got an 2013 Si with the navigation panel, and i have try to put my old playstation 2 instead of my backup camera, i have almost done it, but i got 2 problem, the first one is the guide line from the backup camera, its not a big deal, and im sure it come from the deck itself so there no way to remove it. Still looking good tho.
and my second problem is that i can't find a way to bypass the signal for the backup camera, ive found the wire, its the brown one but even if i send him a external current the image won't show up... anybody got an idea?

Very interesting...
Can anyone confirm can be done on 14 Si
no audio Jax input on 14
any advice how to connect to audio out in to system.

Can someone update the links and attachments? I want to add a simple CMOS camera to my wife's CR-V's iMID for keeping an eye on our rear-facing baby.

Maybe something like in this thread: http://m.fitfreak.net/forums/showthread.php?p=1260139#post1260139 might work?

Instead of a straight splice onto that wire, you need to build an active switch.
This way when the reverse lights come on, it changes your iMID to the reverse camera, but otherwise it displays your alternate video feed.
I will design a little circuit and do a DIY thread in the coming months

Luckily, my '15 has a touch screen radio with HDMI plug lol.

How can I get an aftermarket Sirius receiver to play in my 15 Si head unit? I have an audio out on the receiver but audio in on the head unit. Help?

Not sure if this is the right place for this... But I'd also like to know

someone know what of these wires send the image of the backup camera?

Prometheus,

I have a 2013 with the back up camera coming on the navigation screen not the imid display. Do you have any advice on how to make this hack work with my setup?

 

[scottyrocks]

Is it possible to move the oem backup camera display to iMid instead of the oem display audio for 2015 civic si?.

There was an identical question asked here within a few minutes of this post.

I am going to move your post over there as it is more on topic for that thread.

Cool Hack

Does this work on civics with factory NAV?

I just finished wiring in a DVD player to play through the factory i-MID screen and thought I would share.

[Merk780]

so on the 2015 i could get his done to my indash screen? I know i have HDMI but it will not allow for video to play while driving

I just tried it on my 2015 Civic Si with Navi. It doesn't work. Most probably the pinning is different, or the ping are not even connected. Attaching some photos.
I did connect everything as ADExternal sugested. Even tried to hook it up to a TV to confirm the camera is not dead, all good. It works on the TV. On the car, when you turn on the "Camera" from the i-MID menu, it is not able to see the video stream from it.

What I'm trying to achieve:

• the car already has the display hooked up to the rear camera, and to the lane-watch (blind-spot) camera. There is a button on the end of the turn indicator control.
• I want to install a front view camera, and dispay the video from it on the i-MID display at the same time with the lane-watch one. So, when I'm parking, I can trigger it (by pressing the button on the end of the turn indicator control), then on the i-MID I'll see the front view and on the main display I'll see the side (blind-spot) view.

Anybody did anything similar, or has the diagramm of the 2015 Si i-MID?

 

[kulldox]

Found the actual pinout for the i-MID on the 2015 civic Si 4door. But it doesn't list the pin description for the ones which don't have wires in them.

As you can see, it doesn't mention "camera" at all.

So, most probably those pins are disconnected from the inside, or they even don't have the correct hardware to enable the features.
