Hi all

Has anybody fitted an aftermarket camera and been able to display it on sync3? i don't want the zoom function or lines that move with the steering wheel.

Cheers

Any analogue camera will work. 2 wires, basically anything aftermarket that will have power and RCA plugs on it will be fine.

Will depend if the camera has a LIN bus connection. If not then no or if yes then they have not made additional changes to support it.

Run the LIN configuration procedure in the service area in Forscan. If it is LIN compatible then once run the lines will show up.

I was never able to use my rear camera, I asked the dealer a week ago to enable the camera, but they told me a module is needed so the system doesn't let them enable any camera in the radio
