    Anyone know where the reverse signal wire in Cayenne is found?

    Not happy with the stock head unit, I replaced it with a much improved aftermarket variant. All wires accounted for except one, the reverse signal wire, otherwise everything is perfect. Without the reverse signal wire connected my reverse camera won't come on automatically (needs to be selected through menu as opposed to just popping on when reverse gear is selected). Where can I find this last troublesome wire to tap into so the new head unit is 100%.

    BTW: Cayenne is '09 model if that makes any difference (I woulnt'd have thought so).


    Re: Anyone know where the reverse signal wire in Cayenne is found?

    Sorry, maybe somebody else can help. Only thing I can say is: there are a couple of people who exchanged the stock head unit with an aftermarket unit and they got in serious trouble with the electronics. Porsche does not accept warranty claims regarding the whole electronics/cable/MOST system when using an aftermarket head unit, so just make sure the wiring is done properly and no problems occur. This can be an expensive experience if something goes wrong.

    Re: Anyone know where the reverse signal wire in Cayenne is found?

    Are you replacing the headunit by yourself? Not sure how the signal is transmitted on the Cayenne, could also be possible via the MOST bus or only available if the car came with the rearview camera from the factory. Any Porsche dealership should be able to help.

    Good luck, curious to hear the final outcome!


    Re: Anyone know where the reverse signal wire in Cayenne is found?

    Hmm, spoke to one of the guys who fits aftermarket head units for a living - including to Porsche Cayennes (he services the dealership I bought mine off), and he said there is no easy way to do this, have to run a wire from the rear lights. So that is what I have done. Just a pain in the ass having to run a wire all that way,

    BTW: I've had no trouble with electronics in fitting this unit. The trip computer/clock etc in the Cayenne is separate to the head unit (unlike for example the new Range Rovers where if you install an aftermarket unit you lose trip computer/clock functions). So it's much better than stock. Bluetooth/wireless/GPS/DVDs/divx/xvid/mp3s(Ipod and USB) and now reverse camera, all of which can be played whilst car is moving (incl. rear camera so you can spy on the car behind haha!).
