Anyone setup front camera on CarPlay unit?
Recently got a CarPlay only headunit off AliExpress. Got the backup camera and everything setup but having a hard time setting up the front camera.
Anyone successfully done it? I can't seem to get a 12v reading so there's no signal.

Did you figure this out? I'm doing this right now with my 2012 e93 (CIC) -- Road Top MMI (basically the same as the Andream), backup camera and front camera. I am running power from "12v backup camera" and "GRD" to the backup camera and "12v ACC" and "GRD" to the front camera mounted on back of the rearview mirror. I also connected the "Camera Detect" output to the little red wire coming off the Yellow video cable. As I understand it, this is the correct way to wire two cameras. I am not using an existing 12v source like the backup cameras or overhead light and I am not grounding to the car chassis. If this doesn't power either camera then I am going to put a multimeter up to the "12v ACC", "Backup Detect", and "Ground" to see what is actually happening when I turn it on. I also have an external monitor I can use to test the signal to verify it is a signal problem and not a power problem (or visa versa).

Hi, just installed this in my e93 - trying to figure out the front camera. So you connect to the maroon rca jack and
12v ac- when does the front camera come on? I don’t see any settings so I was skeptical my unit has it but it looks the same as yours so hoping it does. Thanks ! |
