Stock Rear View Camera for Fujitsu Ten?
 

EDIT: any NTSC Camera will work with our headunit - pins 8 and 16 on the 16 pin harness take the video +/- signal. So long as the camera has power when the head unit starts up, it'll recognize it.

:sigh: :search:

I actually did search. Only thread I found was someone trying to sell their own custom deal and it referred to a vendor post that no longer exists and a couple of the comments saying how unreasonably priced it was. But thanks, I'll try a few more permutations on the search and see what I can find out.

I've also been trying to find this. The connectors there but there's only one wire coming out of the harness (gray for the e-brake wire). I've been contemplating adding the correct pins the harness - if you find anything please post back.

Thanks

As a Subaru Parts Manger and retired Navy Electronics Technician, I'll add this:

The rear camera is available for the 2012/2013 Forester and Impreza.
The Forester does have a seperate rear cord for the camera that I can order.
There are several patch connectors available for the Forester and Impreza that are used when the nav is installed (I have all 3 on order).
The camera connection comes in the radio on Connector B a 16 pin plug, and the plug for the BRZ only has 1 wire (hand brake).
The rear camera kit for the Forester lists for $160.00

The hard parts:

Pins for the existing radio plug or get lucky with one of the patch cables.
Buy and mount the camera
Running 4 wires
Determine what tells the radio to switch to back up mode, or will it be automatic when it see's the camera is connected.

I too saw the vendor thread, I also think the pricing is WAY to high for a camera 2 plugs, and a legnth of 4 wires.

Please keep us updated!! Thank you very much!

Can't wait to see your results!

Sparks, are you experimenting with this? I'll probably get the parts and start playing around with this as well, but if you've already made some headway, I'd hate to reinvent the wheel (and possibly make the same mistakes).

Yes the first patch cable arrived today and it's an antenna cable, no luck. The other two will be here Monday.

I did receive an email from SVXdc who makes the cables for the Imprezas/Foresters. He said he could supply a harness with the RCA plug and the pins to install into the factory 16-pin connector. Basically just put the pins in the right place on the connector, pretty easy. I don't know if that comes with the power cable to power the OEM camera, I'm assuming it does. I may not end up using the OEM camera to begin with just to make sure everything works okay.

He has made these for the Fujitsu Ten units in the 2012 Forester/Impreza.

The remainng cables came in, both are antenna related.

Looks like I need to contact SVXdc for some contacts :)

So it looks to be get this - http://www.ebay.com/itm/US-Store-Wid...item416708d70c

Then talk to SVXdc about an rca to two pins for the 16 pin plug.

Thanks for doing the research guys. A link to his website.

One way or another I am going to make this work :)

After a little more research, the head unit puts out 6V to turn on the camera, not needed.
The head unit does get a reverse input.
The back up lights can be tapped to power the 12V camera.

All we need now is pins to RCA and a DIY
