Reversing Camera to D4 with touch Screen

[discotwinturbo]

I have contacted HIDS4U in the UK about their GVIF so that I can use the touch screen as a reversing camera viewing screen.

This has been the reply.

""Hi Brett
I have been checking for you and we are 95% certain if you have the touch screen then you can add a camera using the gvif
Br
Ian""

95% certain is pretty good. This guy certainly knows his stuff from what I read on the D4 UK Forum.

Has anyone fitted this the a D4 with a touch screen ? My D4 is classed as 2012, but I picked in up new in 2011 December. It has a colour touch screen.

I have found on the forum a fair bit of info about the GVIF and fitting instructions, but nothing for the D4 with the touch screen.

I am tired of having the extra monitor sitting against the front window to watch what is going on at the rear......a minor gripe but would be nice to have it more factory looking.

...Hi Brett

If the lifeguard at the beach said that you had a 1:20 chance of being eaten by a shark if you went in the water, would you go swiming?

The questions therefore are: what is the cost, shipping and installation of their GVIF?
If it doesn't work what do I do?
Will it void my LR warranty?
How much do I want it?

[CaverD3]

what is the cost, shipping and installation of their GVIF?

They are quite pricey but you can do a lot more than just a camera, you can add digital TV and other AV inputs.


If it doesn't work what do I do?

Ask if you can return it if it doen't work. I think they mean it works on D4s but has not been tested on an MY2011. Do a search on DISCO4.COM - Index (http://www.disco4.com).


Will it void my LR warranty?

No it won't. The manufacturer only had the right to refuse the warrnty claim if the device has actually caused the failure.


How much do I want it?[/LIST]

PICNIC?

[Lotz-A-Landies]

So for $400, why wouldn't you try this device for your reversing camera?

Advanced ICE Pty Ltd - Land Rover From 2012 VIM for Retrofit Camera or Nav (http://www.advancedice.com.au/products2/Diagnostics-Factory-Overrides_9/TF-LR12)

http://www.advancedice.com.au/core/media/media.nl/id.597/c.1065270/.f?h=dcd0c2211219ba1d72f2

It comes from an Aussie vendor so warranty etc apply.

I have contacted these guys....they are waiting for someone in QLD to drop a D4 with a touch screen in to test....they don't know if it will work until they test it.
I put a call out a month ago for a QLDer to drop in....but no replies.
I would support this one, if it was confirmed.

[Lotz-A-Landies]

I'm guessing it will be you or I who have to drive up to Brissy to check, it would be more risky buying the one from the UK.

This evening I sent an email to Graeme Cooper Automotive asking them to check the Advanced ICE item. We may go ahead and get one in and see what happens, if it works they may become an agent in Sydney, if it doesn't everyone will know.

Will talk to them tomorrow.

[kenl]

I've fitted a cheap camera to my 2011 touch screen, I think it was less than $40 on the bay and needs to be activated using a faultmate or similar, it also has to be a NTSC camera. The 2010/11 touch screens have a 6 pin plug in the back, the middle 2 are for the reversing camera the other 4 are for venture cam and TV inputs.

The fuel for me to get there.....probably about 1000....would be cheaper for me to run the gauntlet.

I am in WA ;-)

Let's see what cooper automotive have to say....fingers crossed it works.

How much does a faultmate cost ?

Brett...

[kenl]

MY fault mate cost about $1100 from memory but most including myself buy the cheap license that is locked to your car vin but can transfered if you get a new one or sell the faultmate. Google "black box solutions" and you'll find it. The lic for multi vehicles is about 3? times the price in each model ie d2 d3 d4 FFRR

They are not the best mob to get on with as they think everyone who is not completely computer techy is a fool, but I've found this with a lot smaller tech companies and there is plenty of other help out there. I think the biggest hurdles I had was buying a TOP end usb to serial connection and running the program as an admin in windows 7... BBS still recomend XP I think?

I've also changed my headlight setting to be on whenever the car is in gear (daytime driving light) adjusted the auto wiper sensitivity, turned off 3 flash indicators (I don't like them) get the car to beep when I double lock it, installed cornering globes and then activated them..... etc

The plug you are looking for on the back of your screen looks like the photo (I hope this works) and is courtesy of Wiggs on the disco 3 site

Just had a reply, my mechanics are unwilling to risk the effort involved in dismantling the dash and any subsequent incompatibilities until such time as Advanced ICE withdraw their disclaimer on the site and specify the unit is compatible with the MY12 D4! :( :( :(

Hi,
I have a 2011 HSE with the Colour touch screen. It has reversing camera connected through to the Touch screen standard from factory.

I bought the GVIF so that I could feed the Rear Camera from my caravan. Installed it myself with no issues, everything worked first go.

Just my experience with a MY2011 with colour screen.

Did you notice if there are any extra ports on the screen as you installed it?

Diana :TakeABow:

[discomaniac]

The factory camera was connected somehow,nothing obvious, only saw multi-wire connectors. No doubt two of these wires came from the camera.
Sorry I can't provide anything more helpful.

I also tried contacting them recently. They asked where I was and that was the last I heard from them. We're heading up to Bris in June and thought maybe it could be fitted while taking the kids to the theme parks....

Hi all,

New to LR and the forum - this topic is one of my specific questions.

I know it's an old thread but wondering if anyone has been able to resolve this - retrofitting a reversing camera to a D4 with integration to the OEM touch screen ?

Thanks,
David

[Lotz-A-Landies]

Some of us are waiting for the warranty to expire before we touch the electronics, but am still watching for an answer.

Remember the newer D4 uave a BOSE system while the MY12 have a Harmon-Kardon HiICE audio system so the solutions will be different depending upon which system you have.

Topix and your VIN should tell you what you have.

[l00kin4]

Thanks for that. My D4 is MY14 - TOPIx tells me Hi Line audio system, so Harman Kardon it is ?

[cjc_td5]

Thanks for that. My D4 is MY14 - TOPIx tells me Hi Line audio system, so Harman Kardon it is ?

No the Hi-Line system in a MY14 D4 is a Meridian system. It changed after MY12 I understand.

I have installed a reversing camera into a MY14. Check out this thread.
http://www.aulro.com/afvb/d3-d4-rrs/208154-d4-my14-reversing-camera-install.html

Cheers,

[Lotz-A-Landies]

Thanks for that. My D4 is MY14 - TOPIx tells me Hi Line audio system, so Harman Kardon it is ? There is a recent thread of someone installing an aftermarket camera onto the Meridian screen. d4-my14-reversing-camera-install.html (http://www.aulro.com/afvb/d3-d4-rrs/208154-d4-my14-reversing-camera-install.html)

[PeterJ]

Well there seems to be a bit of confusion regarding when the audio systems changed. I have a MY12 brochure that states that it has a HK system, and there are HK name plates on the door speakers in the interior photos. I have a December MY13D4 HSE (no MY13 brochures available at the dealer when I bought the car, bit much to ask I guess for $100k+) and also has HK name plates on the speaker grills, so I guess it is a HK system. Based on this, perhaps a MY14 change.

Can someone with a MY14 confirm the speakers do or donot have HK name plates.

Very interested in the outcome, thanks. I want to hook up the rear view camera from my van to the screen so I have some more research to do.

[jon3950]

MY13 was Harman Kardon
MY14 was Meridian

Had both side by side in the driveway last week.

Cheers,
Jon

[kenl]

Hi all, I'm kind of cutting in here but trying to pass on a photo that I couldn't PM, user error I suspect?

Anyways it is a photo of the connector on the back of an earlier model D4 touch screen, I think the middle two connectors are for the reversing camera.

Have a Harman Kardon sat/nav system and I want to connect a caravan camera.
My caravan (on order) has a rear camera installed and I was hoping it would be a simple exercise to install a video splitter/switch in the D4 rear camera circuit to enable the caravan camera when required. As a work around I have cable and screen for the first trip home from Melbourne which will enable me to view the traffic "in my dust" as well as a reversing aid however I don't want a 2nd screen stuck to the windscreen as a permanent solution. Very interested in what other have achieved!

New to site but came across this thread. Looking at retrofitting a reversing camera on a MY12 D4 with colour touch screen with DVD. Have seen some great earlier advice on same topic but still confused. For all you clever electronic whizzes out there, am I right in thinking that I can wire the camera up at the rear (to the power on the reversing lights I presume), run the cable and 'just' connect it to a pin (the two middle pins as shown on one of the posts) on the back of the touch screen without any interface like a GVIF. Then after 'enabling' it should work just like a bought one coming on to the screen when I select reverse? If so, does anyone have the best place to go (on the WWW as I'm in NZ) for the hardware needed, camera wiring etc? Thanks :)

[l00kin4]

Yes is the answer. The camera is actually powered all the time. I'm not sure what looms may already be in place in MY12. If the cable front to back is already there it's a lot easier as you won't have to thread one through the roof lining.

A couple of threads you need to look at to answer this:
DISCO3.CO.UK - View topic - D4 XS wiring for rear camera (http://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/topic87553.html)

and this thread: http://www.aulro.com/afvb/l319-discovery-3-4/208154-d4-my14-reversing-camera-install-8.html

The parts can be ordered from Duckworths in the uk or similar. There's a list of parts suppliers in the FAQ

That is correct IF you have that touch screen, my 2011 does but your 2012 may not? My camera is "always powered" by the cig lighter socket in the rear. The car computer only shows the reversing camera when in reverse AFTER being enabled, the dealers can't/won't do this for you.

I bought a generic camera from ebay and mounted it in the genuine cam spot the number plate light replacement cameras are OK but don't show the tow ball.

The camera MUST be NTSC, pal cameras don't work on the reverse camera pins. Each set of pins can be viewed separately in the secret diagnostic screen using any AV input but the reverse camera will only show the NTSC clearly.

I hope that helps?

[HQU]

Great - thanks. Is it easy to access the 'secret diagnostic window' to check AV inputs?

[kenl]

:) Yes it is, and I'm not actually sure of the sequence but I always get it in the end.
You need to be in the home menu on the screen, (press the left button under the screen) then you press and hold an invisible button in the middle top of the screen for 5 seconds then you move your finger to the left top corner until ( a few seconds) the number pad appears on your screen. the password is 753.(diagonal left bottom to top right)

Like I said I'm not sure of the sequence , it may be left top then middle? Once you get there you will work it out I'm sure.

If you take off the vehicle's upper tailgate opening trim (just pull down from one end) you will find the camera connector.

[HQU]

Many thanks - I'll take a look this weekend.

[HQU]

Really helpful, many thanks. I presume the camera connector is for the video feed. I guess I still have to wire it to a power source (the reversing light or rear cig lighter)? does the connector wire shown then run through the car to the touch screen already (would that be too much to ask!) Otherwise where is its 'other' end and how best to connect that to the touch screen and it looks like the middle two pins from one of the images from an earlier post. Cheers

[kenl]

I couldn't find the other end of that wire, I've since read it ends somewhere under the center console. I'm not sure where you would get the connectors for the ends, it looks to be a type of coaxial cable.
As for the connector into the back of the touch screen, I used a connector out of an old desktop PC, there a wires that go from the front panel to the mother board that have the same pin and pitch, you could also go to a hobby shop and buy some servo connectors (3 pin female) and glue them together to make the 6 pin connector.

I think the video cable type & end locations are explained in Nod's thread:

The other end of that cable under the centre console is pretty easy to get hold of but it sometimes tucked under the heavy brown lining under the console. The connector on the end of the cable is a Fakra F male.

From this thread: http://www.aulro.com/afvb/l319-discovery-3-4/208154-d4-my14-reversing-camera-install-8.html

http://www.aulro.com/afvb/attachment.php?attachmentid=110399&stc=1&d=1466379243

The cable to connect between the head unit and this connector is a Fakra Z (which is the unkeyed version to fit all the others) female for the end of the cable from the rear. What you need at the head unit end depends on whether you have the Fakra style or the 6 pin. IIRC the change over from the 6 pin to the Fakra connectors on the head unit came in sometime on MY12's - same time as the rotary gear selector?

So if you have Fakra connector on head unit it's a cable like this: Fakra Female TO Fakra Female RG174 "Z" RF Pigtal Cable 1M FOR Wireless Neutral | eBay (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Fakra-female-to-Fakra-female-RG174-Z-RF-Pigtal-cable-1m-for-wireless-Neutral-/251765412665?hash=item3a9e635339:g:wyQAAOSwwTlUl5F t)

If 6 pin connector on head unit you could find a fly lead with Fakra Z on one end or just get one like above and cut the connector off.

You can thread the cable through from under the console to the back of the head unit. I wrapped mine in foam to make sure it didn't rattle.

Thanks to all, really helpful stuff. Cables all ordered. I'm going to try a 'cheap' camera from e-bay first to see how it goes. Got a Fakra to RCA converter cable for the tailgate connections as that camera has RCA cable (it's one of those that replace the numberplate lights) then look at upgrading if needed to the LR camera itself (anyone know where best place to get one of theses is?) which is Fakra throughout. On a Disco3 thread on this topic some say to get a whole new wiring loom for the rear part so can connect to the Fakra and the spare power plug adjacent to it, under the rear courtesy light - seems a bit unnecessary but ? is it worth it. Also has anyone had problems with loosing the retaining clips for the front fascia when dismantling (another problem in the Disco3 thread) If so where can I order spares preemptively! I think the parts number is FYC500040.

That is the correct part number for the clips. 2 of mine disappeared when I popped off the console sides. If you're just ordering the clips only then local dealer. If you decide to order OEM camera or looms then Duckworths (Duckworth Parts (http://www.duckworthparts.co.uk/landrover/)) or similar would be the best bet - much cheaper.

The looms are expensive but do make for a very neat setup as they come already threaded through the OEM grommets etc. Not necessary - your preference really. Cost me about $650 for the OEM camera, 2 looms and clips. The list of part numbers is in the thread I've referenced above.

Good luck,
David

[HQU]

Can anyone confirm the parts numbers for the OEM: camera, microswitch with camera wiring and tailgate loom with camera wiring (does this reach all the way from the tailgate handle up to the Fakra and power connectors behind the rear courtesy light?). I have seen different numbers on this and the UK Disco 3 site with a similar thread. MY12. Rotator gear knob .
Many thanks

Hi there,
Most of the later updates for the part numbers on the Disco3 thread (DISCO3.CO.UK - View topic - D4 XS wiring for rear camera (http://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/topic87553.html?highlight=reversing+camera+d4&start=225)) are from me. It would be worth getting a VIN from someone with a MY12 and factory fitted reversing camera and checking the part number but I would assume based on the research I've done that the part numbers will be (Duckworths prices in brackets):

Tailgate microswitch with camera loom LR021100 (GBP 40)
Analogue camera LR043493 (GBP 182)
Additional tailgate wiring loom LR071911 (GBP 51)
Clips FYC500040 (GBP 9.60 for 6)
and of course the Fakra cable for the front which you've already ordered.


(does this reach all the way from the tailgate handle up to the Fakra and power connectors behind the rear courtesy light?).
Yes.

I think that the following will only matter if you're trying to get the curving lines... and not sure it will work. So just fyi if you're feeling like investigating. Copied from the Disco3 thread: "Using a VIN for an MY14 fitted with the factory reversing camera, I checked the camera part number. Some time early in the life of MY14 D4's, the camera has changed from LR023365 (superseded by LR043493) to LR051728- which I assume is the CAN bus connected version... I haven't been able to verify this... "
And finally a question for you too - do you know if you have Fakra connectors on the rear of the head unit? The assumption (statement, actually) on the Disco3 site was that if you have the rotary gear selector then you will have Fakra connections on the head unit.

Hope that helps. Good luck.

Thanks Ron, are they with surround camera system or reversing camera only?

David

[rufusking]

Topix shows them as non-surround

[HQU]

Still an assumption that it's the Fakra connection on the back of the head unit, rather than the 6 pin plug that has also been mentioned, but a couple of threads on this and the Disco3/4 site seem to point to that for the rotary gear selector (Wiggs on the Disco 3 site - he seems to know what he's talking about looking through his posts on various topics). It'll be like Christmas when I remove the front fascia and have a look, not knowing quite what I'll find! Hoping that it is Fakra but seems like connections can still be made with a bit of wire and connector modifications. Thanks for help.

[HQU]

Sorry - more questions! Can you get the part numbers from Topix with one of the MY12 VINs above. I'm new to that site. Cheers

[l00kin4]

Agree re Wiggs on Disco3 site so with rotary gear knob you should have Fakra connectors. Part numbers actually come from MicroCat. Looks like LR031813 was the original camera but it was superseded by LR043493, so that's the one you want.

Finally done all wiring but have issue with enabling in CCF. From 'video' in secret menu I get a scrambled picture but nothing when I put it in reverse. My local auto techs have an Autologic and say they have changed the CCF to say a camera is fitted but still nothing. Can anyone help with which settings to activate - there seems to be parking assist camera but I'm not sure if this is part of the surround camera system. Is there more than one file to alter in different parts of the CCF?

[l00kin4]

Hi there,

In this thread: http://www.aulro.com/afvb/l319-discovery-3-4/208154-d4-my14-reversing-camera-install-8.html

the CCF settings I made (for my MY14) are these:

David

[HQU]

Thanks. Is this with a Nanocom? I presume the Autologic system will have the same approach. So it's these two files to activate - do the % mean anything?

[l00kin4]

Hi,

Yes, with Nanocom. 2 settings

You can ignore the % - just shows percentage of vehicles with that setting AsBuilt.

btw happy to help but when a thread link is provided you might want to take the time to look at it. Will save you time. In the thread I've referenced it says:

"CCF changes (Nanocom settings below)"


David

[HQU]

Many thanks. Have looked through various theads on this topic here and the Disco3 site, but some mention Faultmate, others Nanocom, typically I only have access to an Autologic system to alter the CCF so really want to see if they all work the same way. Cheers

Understand, no worries. Let us know how you go. You're just about there I reckon.

[HQU]

Will do - thanks again

[kenl]

If you are getting a scrambled picture in the secret menu chances are you have a PAL camera, on my car a PAL camera will not work and I get a scrambled picture.

That said with the CCF set to parking camera "fitted" you should get that same scrambled picture when the car is in reverse.

I thought the same and checked the camera. It says NTSC. I found in another thread on the Disco3 site, much the same problem but they seemed to sort by fiddling with the CCF. I'm going to see if I can find someone who can give that a go for me.

This may help. From early in Chris' thread: http://www.aulro.com/afvb/l319-discovery-3-4/208154-d4-my14-reversing-camera-install-3.html

"It turns out that when accessing the camera (from the same connector at the rear of the touch screen) from the service menu it requires the video feed in PAL format. When accessing when in reverse it wants the video feed in NTSC format!! "

I found this too - scrambled from service menu but fine when in reverse, once CCF changes were right. Camera NTSC

All fixed now after having changed two settings in the CCF. Scrambled in video but works fine in reverse -all that matters really. Thanks to all.

Well done - good result. Very satisfying when that picture appears!
Be interested to see a picture with the guidelines.

Finally the picture. Not bad for a $24 camera with wiring from ebay. Just needed the RCA to Fakra connector and cable up to the back of the screen.http://www.aulro.com/afvb/members/hqu-albums-reversing+camera+view-picture5865-reversing-camera-picture.jpg
