Newb installation thread- Pioneer DMH-WT8600NEX into a 2018 SR5 Entune Non-JBL

Looks like the mics the field reporters wear

 

I bet associating it with allllll my accounts will be the hardest part of the set up. (plan on doing it in my livingroom on my TV)

lol

Thanks again for the great idea!

 

Nope. Sign in with your existing account info and it will plop all your apps on the home screen for you

 

I did not remember it had a ROKU account, that's 2x in 1 day you made my day!

 

The tailgate handle/camera came in

 

Get on it lol. I called the shop but he was closing early today and will be back on Tuesday. I should have went earlier but had a headache lol.

 

The camera will bolt in but the connections are different. The 2.5 gen is 6 pin and the 2nd gen is 4.

 

That’s not a 2nd Gen connector - that’s an aftermarket connector. You’ll have to get an adapter, and no idea where

 

Yeah I've been researching. I need a pin diagram for my 2016 then maybe figure out what the aftermarket harness wires do to possibly source a corresponding terminal or splice into the stock terminal/harness

 

I happen to know where you can find that diagram…

​

 

I looked thru the diagrams in the diagrams thread but there's 15 fajillion and I got tired

 

I’ll hunt it down and post it here for you

 

One of these should be for the camera.

Pretty sure I searched using damn near every phrase you could think of

 

This is the camera itself. XR1 is the connector at the tailgate and X1 is the connector on the camera.

 

Thanks man. The 6 pin terminal. Any pin labeling for that?

 

You're going to need one of these:

$10 YQMAJIM 4 Pin 6.5 Ft Dash Cam Rear View Backup Camera Reverse Car Recorder Cable Extension Cord (4 pin 6.5ft)

Amazon.com: 4 Pin 6.5 Ft Dash Cam Rear View Backup Camera Reverse Car Recorder Cable Extension Cord (4 pin 6.5ft) : Electronics

And then cut it apart and splice it with the old harness coming from the tailgate.
Or order a new connector and terminals and make it up that way.

 

The numbers listed on the diagram in the blue box for the camera are the terminals at that connector.
1= CURT (must be a second ground, because it splices to pin 5)
2= CV- (video negative)
3= CV+ (video positive)
4= (empty)
5= CGND (ground)
6= CB+ (power)

 

Ah so it's basically a 5 pin. The aftermarket terminal is 4 pin. I bet I can mess around and get the corresponding wires spliced where they need to go. Thanks Casey

 

I'm thinking I could cut the 4 pin male terminal off then splice into the OEM wiring

 

I'm guessing Pin 1 is the guidelines... Aftermarket cameras have a loop that I believe is a grounded line that you cut to remove them. I might de-pin that one and see what happens, since I've been looking at this for a while.

 

You're right. Came across that in my hours of searching. Do you not want the lines?

 

My Kenwood has adjustable lines, so I was wanting to use those and dial things in a little more than the factory ones. It’s more of a curiosity thing than something that I need to do

 

I think most decent after-market HUs parking lines can be turned off.
Some of them have a predictive(?) like my wife's Cadillac that move with the steering wheel.
Not sure if there is any way to cancel the OEM parking lines..

As @TRDFerguson stated, my Kenwood also has adjustable lines.
I like them better than the OEM, but I haven't found a way to turn them off.

My camera works ok, I wouldn't mind a clearer picture though.
I had issues with it not working correctly a couple of years ago and it seemed to fix itself..

It would sometimes give me a blank screen but still had the text warming on it.

 

My 9906 has the lines removable in one of the Maestro menus I think.

 

You’re saying the Maestro can disable the OEM lines? I haven’t seen that on my 9707s but I’ll go poke around some more.

 

6 minutes in, AV OEM settings.

Found the setting (that’s god-awful where it’s buried…) but it didn’t change the OEM guide lines. I’m guessing it’s hard-set in the camera like aftermarket ones, with the CURT wire controlling it. Going to mess with it later if I have time.

 

Agreed, Maestro's menus defy common sense. Every time I flash my unit I have to muddle to rescan the PIDS to get my transmission temp gauge back.

Not looking forward to doing it after the replacement to the 1057.

Sorry it didn't help.
