Question on retaining the factory backup camera

[XrayXout]

hey everyone,


I recently purchased the PAC kit for my 2012 Camaro SS (TF edition) however, I would like to retain the factory backup camera and use it on the new radio. I saw the gen5diy cable but does that really work? I just want to know before spending $120 bucks on a damn cable. and if it does, where is it installed? I am shocked with the vague amount of info/pictures on the internet for this topic. so please if anyone has info or pictures do let me know.


thank you

Should plug right in to the radio setup. It did when I went aftermarket with mine.

i see a harness in the pac but I don't have mylink. Did yours have mylink?

It did. The pac should have a hook up or the port should be on the back of the stereo.
Did you get your pac from crutchfield.com?
They're very helpful, you could call them and they'll walk you through it, or recommend an adapter if needed.

crutchfield are definitely nice guys gone through 3 cars now with one rep there very chill but the thing is my camaro doesn't have mylink so that adapter doesn't have anywhere to plug into thats why I am asking about the gen5diy adapter

Any updates on this? I got my new radio installed just want the backup camera on a bigger screen so I can actually see instead of that tiny one in the mirror
