    Can anyone help decode the pin out for the jbl headunit?
    There are so many plugs. But which is what? Which wire does what. Ect..

    What I'm trying to accomplish is isolating specific Reverse wire from one of those plug.
    Reverse cam power and ground (6v).
    Reverse cam video signal power and ground.

    12v acc and GND

    If i can isolate these 7 wires, i can tap into them using this method for retaining factory backup camera on aftermarket (android) headunit.

    Take a look at this schematic. Maybe you can use the color code to figure out the correct adapter.

    Thank you.

    That actually helps a lot. Base off that schematic.

    On the 24 pin plug. J140
    6v+: pin 12
    6v- : pin 24

    Camera signal (picture):
    positive: pin 11
    negative: pin 23

    On the 28 pin plug. J139
    Reverse signal: Pin 2

    On the 10 pin plug. J137
    Acc: pin 3
    GND: pin 7

    Im all set now. Just need a 12v to 6v converter and i can make my own harness to retain factory camera on these android headunit. Some android hu does not support factory reverse camera.

    While waiting for my android hu to get ship out from China. I went ahead and put together my own 12v to 6v converter. Will it work? I have to idea. In theory it should. It's buck converter. The one i use is a mini360. This will only trim down the voltage not boost it.
    There are plenty of 12v to 6v premade on Amazon and ebay. This was cheap, under $2.50 for pack of 3.
    Solder
    Label IN and OUT
    Measure and adjust
    Seal (marine heatsink with glue insde)

    Well, they send the wrong harness for my truck. Cant even install it. Glad i check before removing the dash. Harness they send have 3 plugs, 2 are identical with 1 only have 1 set of rcas. All 3 plugs are 20 pins. Missing antenna and speakers plugs.

    From their website, this look correct.

    @BrandonL812 , how did the install turn out? I'm looking at purchasing this unit soon and wondering if it's of descent quality, as well as additional items I may need to source. TIA

    The install went very well. Once they send the correct canbus harness, it was a direct plug n play. Everything works as advertised. You will need to go into the setting and choose the correct canbus in order for the steering wheel control to work. See photos below.
    One thing i did not like was, no incoming text notification. If you get a text msg, this unit wont notify you like the factory deck would. Unless you have your phone where you can see it, you wont know you have a text or any notification.
    Otherwise everything is pretty good. Boot up fast. Smooth. No lag. Bluetooth connects quickly.
    Oh yeah speaking of bluetooth, when you make a call or receive a call, it will only play sound on the dash speakers. Which sucks because you have to turn up the volume so you can hear the other person. It doesnt transmit sound through the door speakers. I asked them about it and they act like it's normal. I dont know, it must got something to do with the jbl system.

    No need for additional parts, they provides everything for a true plug n play.
    Reverse camera works, but the resolution is terrible. Serve it purpose though.
    Sounds is decent. Still muddy as hell. But that's due to the factory jbl junk.
    I mainly got it so my 2yrs old can watch YouTube vids from the rear car seat. The larger screen help a lot. The overhead, factory, dvd player screen is too closed to his face, in my opinion. So we dont use it.
    Overall, for less than $400 shipped, im satisfied. Meet my needs.

    It also came with the usb adapter so you can retain the factory usb port below the climate control knob. The aux port no longer work though. Dont matter as i dont use it anyway. No need for aux port.
    Ive tested android auto and it works. But it's pointless to me to use when i can tether internet to the radio and use it like a tablet. I have tested car play briefly to see if it work and it work fine. Then again, i tether internet to the radio. No need for car play.

    Perfect! @BrandonL812 , cool thank you.
    I only want it for nav, calling, and hoping the reciever is ok too. No JBL here so I'm ok.

    Oh and I'm assuming these newer Joying units don't offer usb charging either? I guess that's normal in asia like the speaker thing.

    Then this unit will fit your needs just fine. Just make sure to send pictures of your radio front and back to them before you order. So they can send the correct canbus harness. Otherwise it'll be a 2-3wks wait if they send another harness out from China.
