I'd like to mount a bluetooth rear view camera in my car (vw golf 4/jetta) and use an android tablet for that. Can't belive, there are no bt cameras. So far I've only found cams with rca/chinch out, which would require some kinda transmiters and cables.
This might be an odd question but is there a way to force Bluetooth audio calls over all channels for the MTCB? I think they are set to use the front channels only by default but my canbus adapter is only connected to the rear output because I'm using a factory amp. Long story short, either I need to pull the head unit out and swap front / rear wiring or find a way to remap the Bluetooth to play on rear or all 4 channels for call audio. Bluetooth music currently plays perfect ... Just not calls. Thanks!!
Just for further info, I have the Eanon GA2114 radio ( rk3188 / 800x480 ), PAC RP4-CH11 canbus adapter, and factory Boston Acoustic audio system.

The only way I know is to perform this mod. A lot simpler is just to swap your can-bus connection to the front RCAs

It's not connected using rca. Have to cut and resolder the harness....but yet its likely easier than tearing the head unit apart I'm guessing its not a simple software fix then. Oh well.

Update -
Problem fixed with my call audio. I just flipped front and rear at the harness. All good now. It was the canbus after all. It only used the rear input for all 4 channels.
Going to get an inline driver for the sub. Should help amplify things a bit.

Finally installed a reverse camera on my BMW E46, all cables are right connected and the camera is working during a test on workbench.
My Dasaita V600 head unit (MCU updated to last 2.80 version) dont have a "reverse signale cable" but is supposed to switch in reverse camera through the canbus (E39-E46 software V1.0) so my camera is only connected to "CAM-IN yellow" cable for HU.
Putting reverse gear (motor running or not) the head units dont auto switch to "CAM IN" input for showing images from camera. Anyone had this issue? Any help?
P.S.: If the camera is connected to "AUX Video IN" and manually started AVIN app images are on screen, so no troubles with camera and/or connections.
Thank you in advance

Solved by myself and taking a little risk
had a similar problem, turns out you have to enable 'prohibit reverse' in factory settings

The options was enabled by default on my unit. Tried all options and deep searching for a "software solution" without luck.
Only working thing i find was cutting a wire from canbus box and direct connect the other side from my HU to reverse signal wire from my auto.
I think that was caused from BMW E46 I-BUS signals not fully decoded from canbus, i have retained all steering wheels controls but not doors open warnings, if they are supposed to show on HU display.
If anyone have some advices they are welcome.
P.S.: In my case working for steering wheel controls setting are NO CANBUS. If i try to select another BMW voice from list i lose steering wheel controls.

Can you tell me what wire you cut and connected the blue from reverse light?
BL/GE - Blue/Yellow wire
I understood that it was a wire between the headunit and the canbus decoder.
(on Automatic Gear Box it seems it works just fine)
I know that the data is send and it works The Ibus is able to detect the msg, this decoders just don't catch on older veicules with Manual Gear Box.

Sorry i did not explain correctly.
The BL/GE - Blue/Yellow wire is the one i'm going to connect to a specific wire that is cut from the headunit
What Reverse/Back wire did you cut to get the reverse signal on the HeadUnit+Canbus decoder?

i used the wire number 2 labeled "reverse" on HU side, but you need to be sure that your HU is a Dasaita for BMW E46.
Check the wire/connection label on your HU for confirmation.
P.S.: On kmy case the wire was orange

I don't think it's strictly Dasaita, as this is the same for Eonon as well. I had to tap into the blue wire between the HU & CANBUS converter. I have the power for the camera tapped into the reverse light.
I too have an E46 Touring. I'm curious, where did you mount your camera? I put mine right above the licence plate dead center of the hatch release button. It's a perfect spot! I removed the torx screws and slid it behind the plate light bracket and ran the wires through there as well. It works fantastic in this location and it even assists when connecting a trailer because it's close to the hitch.

installed mine on license plate light.
A question if i can: your HU is capable to show opened doors? Im not able to find that option on my factory settings and also on my unit on Canbus options i have set "No canbus", if i set another bmw choice i lose swc controls.

I've seen cameras that replace one of the lights. I thought about 3D printing an adapter but I went the route I did to keep both lights and have the camera dead center.
Yes, but you need the I-BUS interface to do that. The Canbus converter doesn't do much. With the I-BUS interface & I-BUS app you're able to see what doors and windows are open, what lights are on, and you can code your car as well.
Hi, just got myself one of those 'Tesla style' system from here.
Set it up on my 2015 Forde Kuga, and it looks very nice. except for 2 issues that drive me crazy.
The first one is that when I put the car in a reverse, the rear camera live video does not pop up to my screen as expected. The camera seems to work fine as I open the camera app and put the car to reverse, rear video feed shows up.
The other issue is that although the system specs sheet claims to control the climate, A\C info does not display and I'm of course unable to set it from the screen.
The seller claims that canbus decoder is built into the circuit and there's no need of an external one.

SO I'm sitting her pulling my hair out trying to figure out why I can't get a reverse camera to work. I have a 2013 WRX STi with a Dasaita TDA7850 MAX6. I have everything wired up and working except for the reverse camera. I believe the camera is an aftermarket one from the previous owner. The cables coming from the reverse camera are Yellow RCA, Red power, and black ground. The ground is ..well grounded and the RCA is plugged into the CAM VIN RCA input on the head unit. When I plug the power into a 12v source I can manually view the camera so I know it is receiving power and working.
I have also run a wire from the reverse lights and plugged it into the wire labeled "Reverse" on the head unit(pin number 2). But no matter what happens the head unit won't automatically switch to the feed.
I have also tried doing a 3-way connection between the head unit reverse wire, power wire for the camera, and reverse light wire. This setup turns the camera off when reverse is not on but still won't auto-switch to the reverse camera when the car is put in gear.
I am not against buying a different reverse camera because they're relatively cheap but I feel like the issue I am having is not related to the camera itself but either software or hardware on the head unit not detecting the 12v reverse wiring. I have verified with a multi-meter the reverse light wire provides ~11.8 volts when put in reverse.
Anyone with similar issues previously? Am I just missing a software setting or did I make a dumb mistake in the wiring?
There are settings for the reverse camera also in Factory settings menu.
Check there if reverse signal might be set to disabled.

Thank you SO much for pointing out what I should have already known. This fixed it!! The wording in the factory settings was some really bad double negative english.
