  • Grande Reverse camera mod to manually overide?

    Hi
    I have found a mod, to switch reverse camera on, by means of a toggle switch, but the wiring is for a 150 series.
    I was unable to find any information on the 120.
    Can anyone help?

    Have you got a wiring diagram? it may be as simple as earthing the reverse toggle on the camera system to manually display it.

    Cheers Joel

      Nope, dont have a wiring diagram.
      On the post of the 150 series mod, they had to toggle a line to 12V (via a diode, switch, or both).
      I was hoping it is the same, but the navi unit is completely different. At the back of the navi, there are no labels that tells you even which plug is which.

        post a photo of the back of your radio up showing all the back. you need to remove trims and pull radio forward and slip your camera in there to take some photos. maybe then when i see it i will remember what goes where. i have fitted (well actually i paid a local guy to fit it) a rear camera to my grande which is switched and also works thru reverse. he fitted a diode in line to make it work so reverse lights didnt come on when the switch was turned on. BTW there is a write up on the LCOOL site somewhere on how to fit to the 120 grande, maybe someone here can direct you via a link to it (i cant as i dont have it on the work computer and my laptop has gone in for its 3rd warranty repair) and you only need to use 2 spots at the back of the unit. you can make a connection/joint to fit it or you can actually cut off a redundant socket that is not used at the back of radio and use that. that is what i did....

              check this out it may help (??) : http://www.pradopoint.com/showthread.php?11571

              sorry if this gets confusing. you only need 2 connections. from memory - you need to connect the pin where red arrow is pointing in your photo to the reverse wire (using a diode in line for reverse lights etc as previously discussed) and i am sure behind the back of the stereo inside the dash is a brown (?) reverse cable that you connect this diode and switch wire from your dash to. you dont have to run all way to reverse lights

              when you remove the stereo unit look to the left (?) side of the unit in the dash and you will see a 4 pin connector the same shape as what you need (ie: where the socket where the red arrow is pointing). in my case and i believe all other 120s in AUST there is this connector in your dash that is spare and unused. it should be taped up, probably wrapped in white foam my installer just cut it off and taped up the remaining wires and then used the connector and connected it to only the 1 pin that is needed to the reverse wire. when all done it will end up looking like the connection that has green wire on the lcool site

              then you need to connect to the socket (1 pin only) for the video connection. your unit has a different layout to mine so i am having troubles remembering which it may be on yours. which sockets are not used on your unit? i am thinking it maybe the 4 pin white socket that is below the "d" in the red word "second" that you have written on your picture. I think yours is 2 separate connectors not 1 big white connector. cant remember which pin you need to connect to though

              I am sure i took photos of mine, just not sure if they are here or on laptop that is in for repair (AGAIN !!!) if i find them i will let you know. back then i also spoke to another installer over the telephone who is in sydney somewhere and he was very helpful at the time. if i somehow manage to find out who that was (it was a while back) i will let you know becoz i reckon he will help you out over the phone and he will even sell you the connectors you need if you dont want to make your own or use the redundant one in the dash. (he actually told me about the redundant one and said that he installs them cutting off and using that spare connector)

              not sure if this is helping or confusing you. i know i struggled with it for a while. i did end up using a local installer and paying him, but he is probably no use to talk to over the phone. he would be ok to use if you pay him but you dont appear to be local - sorry. i will keep digging but it may take sometime .... (it would be worth you rereading all the old threads on rear cameras here on PP and piecing the bits together)

                try contacting this guy in sydney from http://www.samobile.com.au/navigatio...avigation.html

                he was the one who knew what he was talking about over the phone back when i was trying to do it.

                maybe you have one near you (if you are lucky) or even search out retailers or dealers in Eclipse products. thats how i got onto him. i didnt end up needing to use him as the guy i used was a camera/stereo installer i built a house for.

                hope samobile is of some help
