Check this thread out, it had all the info I needed to get this done on my 12 Silverado. Now this is for if you already have the display in the mirror, and want it displayed on the navi unit as well. I am not sure if it is located there with the factory installed nav unit or goes straight to the nav unit itself.

Thank you, yes I have the mirror. (2012 Avalanche) I ended up tapping into the white wire on the mirror. I removed the overhead unit (with the maps lights) and found the same white mirror. I spliced into it and ran the wire down to the HU. Seems to be working fine. Thanks for the help

Sorry to bump a old thread like this. I have a 13 suburban and just installed Navigation OEM hard drive radio unit. I want to get the navigation to have rear view camera on it. I have rear view camera in my mirror. What do I need to do to get camera to Navigation from mirror? Again sorry to bump old thread.

We have plug and play connectors that will do this for you without having to splice anything on your late 2009 to 2013 GM truck. You can either split the signal between your mirror and navigation radio or simply move it so it only displays on the radio, both are different part numbers.

 

Here's the breakdown:

 

Move the signal is part number CS-GMMBH-CONV. If you have a power sliding rear window get the one with -p on the end of the part number.

Split the signal is part number CS-GMMBH-SPLT. Same thing about the power slider applies since it's a different harness get the -p version.

This harness is only currently available for trucks, not SUV's. Essentially this pigtail bridges the factory connectors with an RCA input so that you can easily connect an RCA into the factory mirror harness to grab the video feed. You then take an RCA cable and connect one end to this pigtail harness and the other end to your navigation unit backup camera input.

 

Thanks and don't hesitate to give us a call if you have questions!

Did you have any luck? I have a 2009 Sierra Denali with factory Nav & backup camera and i want to add a rear view mirror which shows the camera feed all the time, and still keep the camera turning on on the Nav unit when in reverse. Let me know if you had any luck...

I did this to my 2013 Yukon Denali and I believe the 2012, 2013, and 2014 are the same. This gives me a display in the navigation screen and rear view mirror when it is reverse. To get a constant picture in the mirror you would need a switched 12v connection to the mirror via number 9 pin position on the mirror plug. You would also need to have the camera connected to a switched hot wire all the time.

 

Run 2 wires from the plug on the back of the navigation head (easy to remove) attach a T tap to the blue wire and a T tap the white wire on the back of the nav unit that reside in the gray connector on the back of the navigation unit, one below the other in the connector plug, it, (the plug in connector could be brown) .

 

Remove the home link - map light panel, just above the rear view mirror on the head liner by popping out the plastic lens and then remove 2 screws, pull the panel out, remove it. Then pull the mirror plug wiring harness back from the windshield and then down through the hole where the plastic panel was removed from the headliner which contains the home link and map lights. Separate the wires in the mirror harness and tap just the blue and white wires then plug in the wires from the navigation head. Remove the right passenger A pillar, 2 bolts under the caps on the passenger assist grab bar.Just run the 2 wires from the taps (blue and white) on the navigation head under the dash and then up the passenger A pillar. Then hide them in the headliner en-route to the blue and white wires respectively on the mirror plug. If terminal 9 on the mirror plug becomes activated with 12V or more when the shifter is placed in reverse then you will have the camera video image displayed in the mirror LCD and the navigation screen when all is connected. Video quality is not diminished by the dual connection. That should do it.

 

Find other instructions for removing the bezel for the GMC factory nav. They are available at https://www. coastaletech.com/ under the GM2 installation instructions

I have my mirror camara with a bridge switch between 2 wires at the mirror harness i can have it on for maybe 10 min after it shuts off and mirror light blinks. It was a piece of cake with the diagram in hand. The issue im having problems with is tapping into those video wires , my head unit only has rca video input should i splice in an rca video wire and use white as main feed??

Revisiting an old threat, because I have been racking my brain looking through the web!  So need assistance. I have a 2013 Chevy Avalanche and replaced the factory Head Unit with an OEM NAV HU. I see different websites that have plug & play wiring harnesses to reroute the original rear view mirror backup camera image to be viewed on both mirror and NAV HU but they are either for a truck or SUV. 
Which is needed for the actual Avalanche?

 

I can not find anywhere that has an image to the exact location where the wiring harness would plug in on the Avalanche?

 

Any help is appreciated

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Progress... sort of.   Intake is disassembled, spider is out, fuel lines removed. Used a torch on the stripped screw with the lower intake off, much easier when I've got the intake sitting on my workbench, I made it talk. Walked right out with a pair of vice grips once it was nice and toasty hot.   New parts are piling up on my service cart waiting to be installed. Distributor, temperature sensor, new gaskets, fuel line kit, themostat, water neck.   My new pickle is I don't want to spend $600 on a replacement spider. I'm not sure IT is bad. I'm probably splitting hairs. Or it's $300 to send mine away and another 3 weeks of the truck just sitting. I have half a mind to assemble everything with the old spider to see if I can get away with just replacing the fuel pressure regulator to be safe. The obvious issue was the gushing high pressure fuel line which will be replaced. Getting to the spider really isn't that hard, and now I know what I'm doing , swapping it would be a breeze should it absolutely need one. Stupid, or smart?   The part that gives me pause is replacing the distributor. Well, it's already out. And I didn't mark it, whoopsie! Engine was at TDC when I removed it, I know that, so upon correct reinstall the metal tip on the rotor should point to the TDC mark on the distributor because that's where it was pointing on the old distributor. Worst case I'm a tooth off and have to re-stab it.   But then, what? I assume the truck will start. It doesn't appear the timing can be set. Here's the problem: These distributors can't be rotated but a degree or two, by design. What I read is Cam ****** needs to be -2 to +2 degrees, ideally at 0 (and checked/set above 1000 rpm). There should be enough wiggle to get that properly set, but checking the reported value is another potential issue. My Actron 9185 scanner says it supports enhanced GM PIDs and Cam ****** is one of them but it's unclear that I'll be able to correctly see it over OBD 1.5. I can see why people end up junking these things with life left in them. They're an absolute nightmare with tweener-year diagnostics/electronics and unobtanium parts.   Fingers crossed it starts and idles nicely. There can be hope, right? I'ma buy a lottery ticket the same day just in case.   Next steps..DO IT. I have not installed an intake before so I've been reading and watching a lot. Some say NO RTV except on china walls, some say DO RTV on water ports but not fuel/air intake. 1/4 or 3/8 bead on China walls? I think my strategy will be, obviously, RTV china walls with overlap on the gasket corners. Chapstick-style RTV the water ports. Leave intake ports dry. The only set of intake gaskets I could find locally are Edelbrock performance gaskets (uh...for an asthmatic 190hp V6? LOL) so we'll see how they do.   #NoToolLeftBehind. It took an hour, but my recovery mission for my deep 10mm socket was successful. It had rolled down the bellhousing and wedged itself between what I think are the fuel lines? I couldn't see it at all, but with a junk antenna I had laying around, I blindly went poking/sweeping for it, heard it clink, raised the truck, and caught a sliver glimpse of chrome with a flashlight way up there in Narnia. I had pushed it farther along the lines holding it captive, but within access of severely improvised tools, poking and cursing at it to finally knock it free to where I could get a fingertip on it to bring it home.    Not much to see.
