07 Yukon - Aftermarket Replacement of OEM Backup Camera

[Larry07Yukon]

Yes, signal wise it will be the same going to the headunit. Just pull 12v power for the camera.

So would this work:

Clip the wire harness from the stock camera.
Wire an RCA to the harness to connect video.
Connect the ground from the wiring harness to the ground of the camera
Cut the 6V power wire from the harness and remove
Add 12V power from camera to tail lights?

what back cam you thinking of going with? i'm going to make an rca adapter

Not sure yet, there are a bunch on Amazon. Once I know the wiring, I'll measure the stock camera and get the closest size

Most of those cameras are all the same quality, and its unlikely youll be impressed by any other than the OEM. Youll still be limited in picture by the ****** resolution of the OEM nav screen.

I'm ok with that, I just refuse to pay $150+ for the OEM camera. $25 or so dollars for similar quality is fine by me

Yes you could clip the factory wires at the connector and wire in your backup cam & just provide 12v power & ground to the camera.

I guess the ground off the factory harness won't be good?

Definitely tell us how it goes! I'll likely be tackling this is the next two to three weeks

What year and model do you have? I believe the harness changed a little after 08

So using the original post, the back up cam module under the passenger seat is no longer being used, is that correct?

I got lost in the thread’s side roads. Your early question of overthinking is correct. It’s a booger to get to it but I have same truck I got my camera from amazon. Once the panel is off find the connection and order that. Mine was $10 or so.
