Reverse Parking Camera Wiring Diagram

[balbains324]

Hi Guys, New poster to this forum and need some help.

I'm connecting an OEM reverse parking camera for X1 E84 2014 to an android aftermarket head unit.

I only have the OEM camera with the cable but no Fakra connector and non of the other modules.

I need to know which wires from the camera correspond to what. There is a green, blue, orange and brown wireinside with the sheathing around the outside. I don't think the sheathing is used for anything.

If anyone has a wiring diagram for the camera that would be brilliant. If anyone has done this before and can help that would be awesome too.

I'm assuming:
Green Wire - Outside metal of RCA
Blue wire - Negative
Orange Wire - Inside Pin of RCA
Brown Wire - Positive

The head unit has the RCA for video in, Negative and positive out.

All Help appreciated...Thanks in Advance!

Ok just tried my above mentioned combination and it didn't work. Really going to need a pin out or wiring diagram for bmw reverse parking camera if anyone can help?

Brown is always ground in a BMW.

Thanks for that, I will try the other combinations now that I know brown is ground. The only thing is I don't want to blow the camera!

Ok so far I have

Blue = positive 12v
sheathing = negative ground

Yellow?
Brown?
Orange?

Anyone out there with a wiring schematic for a OEM camera??

The remaining connections could be for the 3 color bands, red, green and blue. Try it to see what happens.

So a little further today,

The sheathing is positive rca
The blue is definitely a positive but I don't know which one.

I connected it up in the car with just a temporary harness type thing and got a flickering white screen with the above 2 connected. I just can't figure this thing out. I think I might just buy an aftermarket camera and be done with it!
