Add OEM Backup Reverse Camera to 5in stock stereo?
 

Hello all!

I just bought a nice 2015 Fit with the stock 5 inch non touchscreen stereo head unit without backup reverse camera and I have noticed that on later years this stereo did have the OEM camera option...

Is it possible to add the OEM camera to my car? I don't mind the sound quality of the OEM Stereo head unit and specially I would not like to loose steering wheel controls by changing the unit for an aftermarket one (I know there are options to keep them and I have used them in the past but I would like to avoid them if possible.)

I also know I could use those rearview mirrors with integrated screen/camera but if possible I would just like to add the OEM camera and be done with it.

Any ideas suggestions out there?

Thank you very much!

As the winter is coming to an end and I have some money saved up, I want to get a back up camera installed into my 2016 Charger SXT. I’ve only seen one video on YouTube that addresses how to do it but I don’t have full confidence in the video (it was the guys first time attempting to do it and the video jumped around).

I thought they all came with it...I have a Jan '15 build LX (5" non-touchscreen), definitely has a back-up camera....Could there be something wrong, beings as you bought it used? Is there already a camera on the rear? Does the stereo display change at all when you shift into reverse? Perhaps yours is a very early build, when was it built?

If I remember correctly, Fits destined for the US market had to have backup cameras by 2015, but Fits destined for the Mexican market did not.

It's possible that Honda implemented a cost-saving measure by not installing cameras on Mexican market Fits.

OP: The Fit's backup camera is routed through the CANBUS system. It would theoretically be possible to hook up a backup camera through this system (if it's compatible) and have it display via the screen. Need a qualified installer to handle something like this.
