AoA To all PWs.
I recently bought a 9th gen Vti Oriel Prosmatic but unfortunately it was without a Navigation unit. The deal was good and the car was in good condition, low mileage so i didnt mind the lack of navigation. Dont use it anyway. But i really miss the rearview camera.The TrackingWorld is asking an absurd amount of 85k for their Android Unit but i dont want to spend that amount.So i decided to install the cam myself and use iMid display for the purpose.I have just ordered a cheap cam to start the DIY. Cam can be changed later with a good quality one.So here is the start.This is the iMid Screen
This is the Speedometer
The iMiD screen Wire Harness Connector
Hey bro. Please look at the diagram attached with this message. The camera'll be having three wires red, yellow and black. All you need to do is to connect the yellow wire to pin 19, red wire to pin 14 and black wire to pin 18. Also connect the red wire with the reverse light so that it can light up signal(12V power) as soon as you put the car in reverse. Thanks Cheers.
Thanks brother. Just waiting for the camera. Will update when I get it.
PM me your number. We have a group for ninth gen Civics. Let's add you there for future correspondence only if you want. Thanks (y)

Thanks bro
I have Civic 2013 with factory fitted navigation (windows based) and rear cam.. I installed a front cam on it using the video aux port...How can i link the front cam on iMid ? Any place or electrician in karachi who can do it ?
Its easy. Just run the wires and bamm. i have all the pics posted above.give it always on power.You can trigger it manually by Holding MENU button then pressing SOURCE button 5 times.
But the volume control buttons on the steering dont work when the cam is on... and every time i would have to press menu + source 5 times to turn the cam on ?
Never tried volume controls with camera.Yes you have to do it if you want to plug the cam in iMid. You won't be using the front cam all the time so why u r worried abt volume button not working with camera on
My volume controls work when rear cam is on
The pics with these DIY are not showing up. Can anyone post the pics or provide a link?
even better than normal navigation screen.
sweet work MA.
The pics are visible but load very slowly. you need to give it some time to load
Thanks. yes they are visible. for some reason they were not showing up before.
I connected my imid screen wires to pin 14,18 and 19 but when i put it in reverse it wont do anything, i have to press Menu and source in order to see my rear view camera.
How did you give power to reverse camera?
make sure your connections on pin 14, 18 and 19 are working.It should work but if you can get the camera to showup manually then there is a problem of reverse signal to start the screen.
