B17 JDM Deck

Hi all,

So I finally got my B17 Sylphy. Love her. Now the deck has an amazing sound from USB, but being JDM the FM band and TV won't work.

I have an 8" Android deck to replace. The wire harness is basically plug and play and the new deck sounds amazing, but I cannot get the rear view camera to install.

The new deck has an RCA In for that, but the original has a harness connector.

I need to get the reverse sense and the camera. Hopefully, or does anyone know if, the camera is powered separately from the deck.

Any help/ suggestions pls?

This is the label:

Wires:

If this harness is disconnected with the car in reverse the cam cuts off:

No luck on there

Seems to be a real specialist cable

You may need to work it up somehow, usually the rear view is engaged when u put in reverse

Found where the wires can be spliced. Prefer not to do that, but if push comes to shove...

I had the same reservation about cutting cables in my car, but honestly, your goal is to do it once and do it properly.

Get the right tools for the job, take your time, do it right.

Will end up cutting.
Apparently that harness is for the steering wheel controls too.
Will search for a pinout.
Or maybe it would be easier to get a new reverse cam installed with RCA out?

Make back the end with an RCA male connector. Also get access Sw1 for steering controls

Do you have a pin out for the connector? Cant find one.
Sadly she did not come with steering wheel controls

We had to search for the wires in the harness, but in the end we did!
The after market deck loos amazing and performs just as well! I have Waze installed, so I get GPS on a lovely 8" screen!

Looks great.
I noticed the volume buttons on the outside and the CD slot above, are these wired into the after market deck?

jose123 · Postby **jose123** » July 7th, 2016, 8:38 am

Yes. The face plate came out that fitted the original deck and that just slot right in.
Perfectly designed to fit in the space.

That's interesting.
I've never seen an aftermarket deck look as OEM as this one, with the knobs and media buttons on the outside still functional.

That's good stuff.
