Before I did it myself I went to two local shops and I was quoted $175 & $250. That's when I said I have always done my own work on all my cars so why would my IS be any different. Man it's very easy just take care around the dash and you'll be fine. Plus you'll be saving a couple of hundred bucks and the pride knowing that you did it your self

Hi, I've installed my new Flyaudio unit on my car. I've an '07 IS 220.
I've read the guide and now all the cables with connector are connected properly.
But, my unit is the 2nd generation and the part number is FA039navi-1, the official guides on Flyaudio site and on this forum are related to old version, so the connections are a bit different...and I can't find any updated guide.
Could you help me? I attach some photos:
These cables are signed with labels but in all guides aren't mentioned
REVERSE + (stands for BACK label, because I can't find a cable with that label ??)
CAR SPEED
BRAKE PEDAL
GND
BATT
etc....
They have to be connected, if Yes...where? I read that exists a DVB-T tuner.....
Are for that?
All these cables are for external peripherals, such as external video or audio outputs, If needed I can connect or not. Right?
Thanks in advance, I hope in your help/answers.
Luke

When I installed mine, I didn't connect any of these cables! However, I found a document on FlyAudio's website that stated the "back" wire needs t be connected to the positive wire of the reverse light to send the signal to the unit when the car is in reverse. I didn't connected the back wire and the video signal alone is eough to switch the unit to rear camera.

I believe that your car is with AT but mine is Manual trasmission and only with the video signal the camera seems doesn't work
...probably because the AT is interfaced with the ECU and when you put your gear in reverse the ECU process the command and in some way flyaudio unit receives the signal, otherwise how could the radio knowing that you're in reverse?......Now I have set "reverse camera" to ON in Flyaudio settings, and connected the cam wire to his respective connector, May I've forgotten something...??

Hi NimaN thanks for your reply, the wire with "back" label does not exists, but exists only a REVERSE+ cable that I think is for positive signal from reverse lights as you said.

How is your camera powered up? is it on constantly?

My IS is automatic, but I don't think the ECU plays a roll in my setup. I only connected the video cable (the one with yellow RCA plug) to the camera input of the FlyAudio in the back. As for the camera itself, I connected the positive and negative wires of the camera to the equivalent wires of the one of the reverse lights. I did not connect the reverse/back wire at all. As a result, my camera powers on only when the car is in reverse, then it sends the video signals to the FA unit and FA switches to the reverse camera without having the back/reverse wire connected. (i need to mention that I showed my setup to FlyAudio techs and they were surprised too, so my theory is that the FA only needs video signal based on my experience, but I could be wrong too)

If I could interject here, I include a rectifier that works with our units and our or any other backup camera (RCA type) to customers who purchase the backup camera option. Here is a installation sheet that is provided. Maybe this can help you out.

A question, I'm doing these tests without pulling cables (GPS and REAR CAMERA) on the back of the car.....to get cables on the back is It necessary to remove the back seats...or exists another way...
