Agreed, solder is best. And I prefer heat-shrink tubing over electrical tape.

I like solder sleeves like this! Kills 2 stones with 1 bird...or something like that!

I just solder, and have multi-pack of different sized heat shrink tubing. Never had a wiring failure at any of my soldered joints. |

True, unless you happen to have a bunch laying around...they shrink down too so you can use the same size for quite a few different wire sizes.

Hi, I am working on getting a rear cam in my Impreza and have tried contacting SXVdc a couple of times without any luck. Does anyone have a lead on a harness or know what the parts (connector and contacts) are so that I could make one?
Thanks! |

A little bit off track, but my buddies 2013 Outback (Legacy), uses the rear view mirror for the back up display. He has the auto dimming/compass with the homelink. I wonder if that is a special mirror or the same mirror with some add on? I have the same mirror, or at least thought I had until I saw a TV screen in his mirror one day.

Could use some help, Adding a rear camera
Ok, so this is my first post.
I have a 2010 Impreza Hatchback. I bought a wireless camera and I'm mid way through I'd say right now but stuck. I managed to mount the camera to the plate, drill hole near the left side plate light. snaked the wire up through the hatch and down to the rubber grommet. I can not get the wire from the top of hatch down the side to grab it. I've tried many times with different cables etc. If I could take the side plastics off it would be easy but all I got is the small piece where the seatbelt comes out of off, the small light near the back off and pulled the foam thing out at the base on left side. Anyone do this yet? and pictures? Youtube? I plan on installing a switch so I can flick it on and off at will. This is so when I use my trailer I can keep and eye on it. Any ideas? I can try to post some pics? Oh, Does anyone make a repair book for this car? I've had no luck so far. I asked Subaru and they want you to pay to access their site info and it's not cheap! Thanks Alan |

You have to go into the hidden menu screen that is available on the Limited's head unit. http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show....php?t=2340207

Yeah, take the car out of reverse. I just used the SVXdc harness, grounded the spade terminal to one of the screws on the side of the radio and it was good to go.

If I were to hazard a guess I would say that you can. I don't believe there is a special HD Radio antenna for the unit. It either pulls from the main antenna feed or it has a built-in antenna for it. This would make a great upgrade for a premium!

As long as you're doing a HU swap, why not consider a non-OEM unit like one of the nice Pioneers?

Sorry to bring a semi-dead thread back from the dead, but is it possible to use the new 2013 impreza camera if you have one of the older head units?
I'm gonna start looking at OEM subaru sites to see if i can find the camera |

To another posters question, look on another back up camera thread here. There is a part number for the Subi factory camera now. I hope to find a 631UD HU waiting for me when I get home that I got my hands on. The direction I go with a camera depends on what I find behind the radio. Maybe, just maybe, there is a connector behind the radio on my 2013 Premium for the camera wiring. I doubt it, but the Subaru e-store now lists the trim piece for the sedan trunk with the camera opening. I will be keeping people posted on that. If there is no wiring in place then I will most likely go aftermarket since I will have to run wire to the front. The factory camera is $$$. Aftermarket is way less. **The HU I posted a link to for stupid money on e-bay had no bids when the auction closed. I saw that coming. In any event, it may show up again for less, or someone can contact the seller and make an offer. IIRC, it was a salvage place.** John |

Ok, forgive me if this is covered in detail within this forum thread, I've read through several times, but I'm still unclear on whether I truly need the 8pin harness from svxdc. I'm just not clear on where I'm getting power for the OEM option.
I'm planning on getting the OEM camera, but I'm still a bit on the fence when looking at the kenwood. The OEM seems to integrate the best, but if the job is any more difficult, I will go with the kenwood instead. |

So if you're keeping a factory head unit, and if your car is not pre-wired for the OEM camera, you'll definitely want my 8-pin or 16-pin rear camera harness (depending on OEM HU model). That's the easiest way to connect the camera into the HU. The remaining thing you'll need to decide is whether to include the 6 Volt power lead on my harness. For an OEM camera, you'll definitely want that. It turns out that many aftermarket cameras will also work from 6V (some even as low as 3.5V). For Subaru HUs besides the Fujitsu Ten nav, you can usually power an aftermarket camera from the reverse lights (unless their instructions say otherwise. One example). The OEM Fujitsu Ten nav HUs must see a video signal from the camera during boot up (or the HU will decide no camera is present, and leave the feature disabled). So for this HU, you must power the camera from the HU's 6V supply, or from +12V Accessory (on whenever your key is on). For a camera that needs more than 6V, you can use the HU's power lead to run a small 6V relay, which in turn switches the camera's 12V supply on/off. Arguments against choosing an OEM camera for a car that is not pre-wired for it:
