madsonp Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Yes it is, here's the owners and installation manuals for it if you'd like to review them. http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/StaticFiles/Manuals/Navigation/AVIC-F900BT_OperationManual0606.pdf http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/StaticFiles/Manuals/Navigation/AVIC-F900BT_InstallationManual0520.pdf Quote Link to post Share on other sites
w4rh4wk Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Hey vncool,what camera are you going for? I installed a cheap Jesen Jcam1 rearview backup camera 150 degree viewing angle. It was ~$24 on ebay. Here's some photos of the final product. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
orangeworx Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 @w4rh4wk: that looks really nice! one question though, how hard would it be to rip the cam off it's socket... I'm just a tad reluctant to install one seeing as it's outside the car... maybe it can placed inside, behind the rear window? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was thinking of getting some touch up paint to camouflage it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sajin Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 how is the night vision on that camera? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
w4rh4wk Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 how is the night vision on that camera? No night vision on that camera, you can kind of see the image with assistance from the reverse lights. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vncool Posted October 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 thanks w4rh4wk for your advise...I did purchase same model off ebay... can you please advise steps to install this??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
w4rh4wk Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 step1: find the location where you want to mount the camera and mount it. Step2:running the cables from the back to the front. I had to use a coat hanger with a closed hook at the end of it to get the cables from the tailgate to the main body frame. This step takes the most amount of time. Step 3: I had the camera draw power from the "red cable" on the pioneer head unit. The camera uses very little power and you dont want to hook it up to the yellow +12V that line is constantly on. I used the blak cable on the pioneer for the ground for the camera. step4: plug in the video cable from the camera into the RCA jack on the pioneer unit labeled "REAR VIEW CAMERA IN". it is brown. Step 5: directly from your manual When this product is used with a rear view camera, it is possible to automatically switch from the video to rear view image when thegear shift is moved to REVERSE ®. RearView mode also allows you to check what is behind you while driving. It is necessary to set [back Camera] in[system Settings] to [On] when connecting the rear view camera. (For details, refer to “Operation Manualâ€.) Step 6:Make sure you have your Violet/white cable connected on your pioneer unit. This will tell your pioneer when you are in reverse and automatically switch over. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
