Rear View Camera Install - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

XfireZ51 · 02-21-2017

In the process of installing an appradio4 and including backup camera w it.
The camers needs a reverse gear signal to turn it on. There's supposed to be a light green wire for Circuit 239 and its supposed to be below right side of IP.
Anyone have a tip on how to access this wire or where I could find it?

Yours is a 92? When I installed back up camera for David J's 94 with Pioneer AVIC 130BH, I think I tapped onto reverse light switch at the transmission. Although I have shop manual for 94, I'll look for light green wire you are asking.

That ain't CIRCUIT 239 - that's the C239 connector there at the IP. The circuit is 24 from the switch to the rear of the car. You could access the 24 circuit there or C209 and also at C401. C401 maybe in RH cargo storage bin? I ain't never looked!

This image I don't think is in a '92 FSM but the connector locations I'd think are a match.

Thanks Dave. As usual, always helpful. I did not see that figure in my FSM or the supplement. I'll take a look tomorrow. Crawling under the IP is getting somewhat tougher these days if u know what I mean.

WVZR-1 · 02-22-2017

I would look first for the C401 connector in the RH storage compartment maybe. C401 pinning can be seen 8A-202-15 and you should see LT GRN at M. I'd think much easier access. Closer to the head unit for sure is C209/C239. 8A-202 section for pinning of connectors can be very helpful. 8A-201 and 8A-202 I use a good bit!!

Search LOCOBOB's thread for C401 and C209. He has snapshots of both.

That's excellent Dave. Thanks. Unlike Bob, I have not pulled
my interior apart. Mine is a 92, but I'll look in the rear storage compartment.
After I do my stretching exercises, I could try sticking my head under the IP 😀I'm going to start converting the AVIC harness connector to the appradio.
There's also a MUTE wire. Not sure yet what that's for.

Dave,

Here's the connector I found that looks similar to the illustration. Looked behind the courtesy light in the pillar, and also the RH Storage bin but did not see anything in either place. Again, mine is a late 92.

Dom if my bypass resister arrives in time I will take pics of where I am tied into this weekend. I need to remove a Bluetooth module I left behind as well

WVZR-1 · 02-22-2017

Snapshot is a little small to do anything positive with but if you can ID the cavity it would be easier to confirm for you. From here in the Eastern Panhandle of WV I can't quite see it!!

Dave,

Its cavity G.
