do you guys think it is safe to assume that there will be GM factory parts for the back up camera that will be out soon since the 2012's will have that as an option? Maybe something that will fit in that space where I have the removable black plastic cap sitting right now?

because if there is a Camera that will just fit into that empty space without having to screw anything in and a mirror that is meant for the car I would prefer to go that route, I am not in a huge hurry for this mod so I can wait and see at least

The mirror is meant for the car and this is the one on the new 2012's, it's the camera that is slightly different. For me I used 3m tape, worse case, I'll swap out the camera.

That depends on what camera you buy. Mine has a switch to turn them on or off. It also has a switch to reverse the image or see it normally.

Hi - new to the forum and great writeup. I just received a Gentex OEM mirror off of a 2012 Camaro Convertible - it looks plain with 3 buttons (Onstar ones) and it has the original 10 pin connector. So...it sounded strange but sure enough, I opened it up and there is a monitor built into the mirror. If so, then this would eliminate the connector concern leveraging the OEM one but it has to be wired somehow differently? The inside of the mirror uses all 10 wires/pins. Any thoughts? What is the 4th botton on the left of the mirrors you guys are using?

The fourth button is to turn the LCD power on/off.
Well first of all you have the mirror, but you didn't mention about the camera feed from the reverse camera? Also, if your car already has the reverse signal in the front, you may not need to bring the reverse signal to the mirror. Some LS owners have reported that and they had to bring the reverse signal from elsewhere. EDIT: Just noticed the post above is from Feb of this year. <Smacks head to the wall> |

Has anyone done this mod using the Gentex 983 mirror instead of the Gentex 657. The Gentex 983 is the OEM mirror for the 2012 with backup camera. Looks like the wiring is different but uses the same A10 connector. Anyone?

It should work..but its a gm-wan mirror. It gets the signal that the car is in reverse from the sw low speed can bus. I'm actually working on the mirror myself. But in my application I'm trying to figure out how to bypass the gm-lan connection and trigger the lcd via a 12v high. This is because i want to use the lcd for navigation. And i don't plan on driving everywhere in reverse..lol But for strictly a backup cam just tap into the sw-can. Hint pin 1 on obd2 I'll. Post what I find once I have time to dig into it. Pin 1 Dark Green: Low speed GM LAN This wire is Light Green without camera: Backup Lamp signal Pin 2 Pink: Ignition Voltage Pin 3 Dark Green/White: OnStar Keypad Signal (UE1) Pin 4 -Light Green/Black: OnStar Keypad Supply Voltage (UE1) Pin 5 Black: Ground Pin 6 Pink with camera: Camera video signal (+) Without camera: Yellow/Black: OnStar Keypad Green LED Signal Pin 7 Light Blue with camera: camera video signal (-) Without camera: Brown/White: Keypad Red LED Signal (UE1) Pin 8 Pink: Low reference Pin 9 Gray: Automatic Day/Night Mirror Signal Pin 10 Red/White: Battery with camera
