Io3 to aftermarket radio. Can I retain my Factory backup camera

[Apprentice345]

Hi all,

 

For 3 days now I've been fighting with my 2016 Silverado WT I just bought to get my 2330NEX system in. Problem is I want to retain the backup camera. Can anyone help.

Use either the iDatalink Masestro RR and Harness or the PAC Audio Harness. both will retain your OEM camera. I am using a Maestro RR with an AVH-4200NEX

I bought the RR and the harness with antenna. Do I need anything else? Besides a dremel for the plastic i hope it's mostly plug and play. I just miss having good audio and android auto.

The RR module needs to be flashed to the specific vehicle and steering wheel, other than that you should be good. I was able to retain the USB port in the glove box using the USB1 adapter. I converted the cig lighter on the dash to USB and HDMI using an IceSpring cable from Amazon.



Dont mind the hanging RR speaker in the pic it was before I mounted it during the Install.

AWESOME So we can retain the USB port in the console. That's good news. Does it just plug into the back of the radio? Or does it all "just work".

Well, mine was a dual USB and Aux. that goes through a hub and unfortunately cannot be retained. if you have the single USB alone that should work no problem.

The green port in this pic is for the white USB in the upper glove box and the black one goes to the center console.

this is what you will have before cutting but after relocating the OnStar module to the lower cavity, previously occupied by the optical drive.
