Can I connect a back up camera to MyLink? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hi there, I'm finally getting my long-awaited Camaro, a 2014 model.

It has stock MyLink but, unfortunately, the first owner didn't get it with a backup camera and no parking sensors.

I've been Googling for hours trying to understand if I can buy an aftermarket rear view camera and attach it to MyLink but so far I haven't understood how it works, so here I am.

I've found Gen5diy that does something like this but I am not in the United States, so this is not possible.

The question is, can I attach an aftermarket back up camera to MyLink? Is there a way to do so?

Thanks a lot.

You can put a rear facing camera on your car. The cameras aren’t expensive although your unit will likely need to be reprogrammed. You might get lucky and that option is always programmed in and just wait for input.

Hi there, thanks.

By putting the car in reverse, nothing happens on the screen. Does that mean it’s not programmed?
