F55/F56 Help with OEM Camera and Aftermarket Android Head Unit
Hoping someone can point me in the right direction on how to retrofit the factory installed OEM rear camera into an aftermarket Android apple carplay head unit? The aftermarket head unit can take in a composite video signal. 2018 F55 Mini.
In looking at the factory main head unit connector it seems that pins 21, 23, and 24 are FBAS signal from the rear camera? Is the FBAS signal on the pins composite video?
I did try tapping into these pins and used a monitor but was unable to view any camera video.
Thanks for any help! 21 E FBAS signal Reversing camera 22 E Microphone, negative connection Telematic Communication Box 22 E Signal Microphone Microphone without telematics 23 M Shield Reversing camera 24 E FBAS signal Reversing camera
Hopefully this will help. Look at pinouts at plug connector A42*1B. Let me know how it works as I have thought about this option. Just cant seem to spend $2k+ to replace the entire system.
