Added OEM back up cam to aftermarket radio

So my truck didn't come with the Nav so it didn't have back up camera. I purchased a factory back up camera off eBay for $40. Purchased a 12v to 5v converter from a member here (was an extra that he got it off eBay)


Factory camera


I cut off the factory plug. There were 4 wires. Red, Black, Yellow, and White.

Red = 5 volt
Black = Ground
Yellow = Positive (inside RCA) video output
White = Negative (outside RCA) video output

Wired up the 12v to 5v converter as the sticker shows, and soldered a male RCA end to the yellow and white.



I kinda went with these instructions as to dremel the rear applique

Adding a back-up camera


Outside like OEM...





and inside when I go in to reverse, or I can hit the camera button on the screen and the camera will stay on indefinitely.

Thank you for doing this cause i actually bought a camera and wanted to add this but have no idea to do so

Any updates?

Nathan is the part on the applique pop out for camera or does it have to be cut?

If your applique doesn't have a camera now, it has to be cut. I have 3 appliques at the house now that I've been messing around with...

They make two different appliqués. One with the camera cutout and one without.

You can cut the non-camera one and it will attach just like the camera one. The indention is already there. Just not the holes. I took a piece of construction paper and made a template to cut my OEM one.

Serious internet business question, How close are you to having the parts laying around to build another Yukon?

Just a bunch of parts. I've sold off a lot though. Need to sell off a bunch more. Just lazy and haven't gotten around to posting stuff on Craigslist or eBay.
