Nebster Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Well i just bought a N3. (FINALLY) and i'm looking at getting xm, a backup camera and a ipod adapter. I was wondering will all these fit to the brain or will i have to get a splitter so to speak. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sportsfan21 Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 No it'll all work. The iPod gets plugged in to the XM and then the XM to the brain (or vice versa) and the rear view camera connects to an RCA at either the brain or the headunit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nebster Posted December 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 ahh ok i see it now so each accessory has a little "piggy back" function and it can just leach onto itself. if i want to get a rear view camera so i can just watch have it on while driving would i just hook it into the rca or is there something special i need to do with it?

whtcrxghst Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 There is an RCA input for the camera. It will most likely need a power and ground connection too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nebster Posted December 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 ok i guess i just need to get the unit in and play around with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimmy303 Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Normally, the camera will be displayed when you put the car in reverse, or if you run your navigation display as a split-screen. If you want full screen reverse camera while driving, put a switch to feed +12v to the nav, but diode-isolate the leads so you don't turn on your reverse lights.

Why not just power the camera off a switched line then hook the reverse wire up to the avic. In split screen mode even going forward I can still see behind me with the camera.

jimmy303 Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 If you want the rear camera to display full screen, you need to feed a false trigger to the head unit, so it will display the full size camera image. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cntrylvr79 Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Didn't think about a full screen image. Sorry I'm going to go hide in the corner now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
