So I've been doing a whole lot of research, and there are thousands of threads on here to try and trawl through, but it appears I'm just going to have to rephrase the question with specifics!
I am interested in adding the OEM backup camera to my 2014 PIU. I have the 4" radio display screen and no Sync/APIM. In all of the wiring diagrams I have followed, it seems that non-Sync vehicles only came with a rearview mirror backup camera option, while Sync equipped vehicles have the video feed run directly to the APIM in the dash.
I have found various information showing people adding wiring to Pins 6 and 12 of the 4" LCD and running those back to the camera. That's interesting for sure, but the information posted along with this shows editing the APIM in Forscan.
How can you enable something in a module that doesn't exist? Is there a separate address say in the BCM that enables the rear camera? I've seen solutions that involve removing the screen for "programming" and sending it to someone. I don't have the ability to leave my vehicle only partially operable while waiting for someone else to do this for me. I'd rather just do it myself since I'm not that afraid of Forscan, but I'm not willing or interested in "bit banging," which is where you just go address by address changing hex code and observing what states and options change.
I have no interest in an aftermarket backup camera solution. If I can't get the vehicle itself to accept the OEM solution, I won't bother doing anything additional, as I don't want a separate screen and all of that.
Also, what is the part number for the camera housing? There's plenty of links to the camera part number, but no links to the housing part that replaces the blank panel on the liftgate.
