Hi Crowz, an update on my install, was able to get the camera wiring figured out and tested up front, now I just have to do the actual install of the camera and running of the wires front to back.

But with the IBUS part of the install, I am a bit stuck. I see the wires in the big connector that you mention above, but I also had a white plug with 5 wires in it from my stock MID.





It clearly has the IBUS wire (white with blue/grey stripe and yellow spots) same as #9 in the big connector you mention, and it has a ground.

So I opened it up and connected the IBUS adapter white wire to the IBUS wire on that connector, the brown to ground, and the red to the 12v+ on the #7 fuse in the glove box as you suggested, but when I turn on the vehicle, the headunit gets power as the keys light up, but my screen stays completely blank...

I couldn't figure out what was happening, so I removed the IBUS wiring that I just did, and the headunit went back to working as normal...

What could be the issue? Should I not use the white plug for these connections and just do them from the big black plug connector as you had mentioned earlier?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
