Hi, I have bought and installed an Audio Tech Direct Android Stereo to replace the VW one. I had installed a reversing camera on the VW unit when I did my camper conversion. I am having real problems wiring the camera to the new stereo. I am not having a huge amount of success with Audio Tech who have said take a positive feed...

All of my wiring comes direct to the dash from the rear camera - video feed, power and earth. Where do I tap into a positive feed so the camera comes on when in reverse? Is there a trigger wire? I prsume I can use any of the earth wires.

Here is the Stereo - PBA VWMQB 9" Android Auto & OS Radio Nav CarPlay Head Unit For SEAT/Skoda/VW (2016-2022)

And this is the wiring at the rear...

There is not a wiring diagram with the unit.

Any help gratefully recieved as my wife is really missing it. Thanks
 
Sadly mine does not look like that… my quad lock goes into the small black connector so not exactly the same. In theory I would connect to no 16 / green / reverse control cable.

I couldn’t find a similar cable to connector ‘A’ which is my problem….

I think mines is slightly different i bought it a few years ago i,m sure the positive from the camera just has to go to a live the canbus takes the signal to the radio for reverse

Progress. Fab. So if I get a photo of the canbus unit would that help identify a live wire? Will do that tomorrow now….
