Hi all,
Just bought an 06' SUT with a rear view camera installed but didn't work and the rear view image is actually in the mirror itself - it does not pop out like the hummer mirrors I have seen.

Must be after market but I dropped the overhead console to try to find the wires to it because even when the camera was connected at the rear of the truck the screen says 'no signal' or something like that. So, aparently the mirror/screen has power and tries to display an image but it never got it.

All the wires up above in the headliner area looked all factory (all black taped up).

Does anyone know if there is a way that the previous owner installed an after market mirror that had a factory plug or whatnot and some how connected the camera wire someplace in the truck - not up in the headliner?

Hope all that makes sense.

Thanks,
David

 

Can you provide a photo of the rear view mirror? Is it Gentex? If it is OEM, there is a set of wires that come up the drivers side A-pillar to the mirror that includes power, temp, and video. That wiring connects to a wire harness that routes to the exterior and rear camera. You would want to confirm it is an OEM mirror, OEM radio/nav and that that OEM camera is connected at the rear.
