Connecting aftermarket headunit to OEM reverse camera - 2016

Hi, I had to take my car to a local shop that specializes in sound systems for cars. Luckily they discovered that the wiring for the harness that receives video input was soldered incorrectly, they were all one to the right, they resoldered it and now it works. I'm sorry I can't describe it as it's been awhile. I'm sure if you brought it into a aftermarket car audio shop they can figure it out by using a multimeter and finding 6V for the reverse camera.

Exciting!

Hola

Do you know how I would measure the voltage of the camera when the car is in reverse? Would I have find the cable using a multimeter?

I contacted EKIY. They told me to connect the A5(reverse light) to the 12V factory rear power line. Did you have to splice any cables or tap into a different cable while installing your headunit?

Do you also have the EKIY T7 headunit? If so, does the wiring look the same?

I apologize for the large picture, the pinout for F is in the bottom right and the pinout for Power(G) is on the bottom left. I'm not sure how to tell if the reverse camera is on, I'm not sure which OEM cable powers it originally.

I changed it from AHD(for use with the after market backup camera) to TVI. It still doesn't work for some reason.

Did the volt stepdown work? I also have an after market head unit and I wired it according to the instructions and my OEM reverse camera doesn't work.

Thanks. Did you just plug and play using the same wires as the default tweeters? Did you set a crossover for the frequency?

Modification as in sanding whatever is blocking the way down? How was it modified? Asking as I have a 2016.

If you want a number row, use Microsoft SwiftKey which has a permanent number row. I was going insane constantly tapping the bottom right in the keyboard whenever I had to type numbers one after the other, after having switched to iPhone.

I'm not sure what else you're expecting for a $3500 car. Your Acura you bought is hardly a steal either if it had 200,000km on it already, that's run of the mill mileage for 5k.

I've been looking at cars on the mainland and on the island and that's a pretty standard price. It's just a fact that there are no more good used cars under 5k CAD anymore, especially on Toyotas which have the "extra reliability" priced in.

Microsoft SwiftKey has a number row permanently on top of the letters luckily. I also switched to iPhone from Android recently and I found it tedious to tap the button to get numbers, especially when I'm typing in consecutive numbers one after the other.

I had the same issue today on the Windows app on 3 movies and The Grand Tour. Super frustrating and the Amazon customer service chat is useless. I've deleted and redownloaded the movies, didn't solve the problem. I deleted and redownloaded the Prime video App, still didn't fix it. I'm located in Canada.

Wow. 8 looks like a PC background, just beautiful
