Usually the camera is wired in at the rear to a feed from the reversing lights, the head unit recognises when a signal is sent from the camera and switches the screen to display the camera, the head unit doesn't care which gear you are in.... One of my plans was to fix numerous cameras on/under the FF and run them through a switching unit to assist with wheel placement while off road... Power up a camera and it would switch the head unit to a feed from it.... BTW I still don't think the Logic 7 will be plug and play... if you do it right you can chop the plugs off carefully so someone can reinstall them later if needed, can't see why anyone would bother though.... Good luck ![]() I now have permission from the boss to use Y.O.L.O.

Thanks for the tip regarding how the backup camera is wired.

just wait for the car to go to sleep...little red light by gear lever.. And you can plug the new unit in with the short lead to test it... FYI do a test on the install when it's in but before you put everything back, just incase... I still reckon that there should be a wire marked backup lights or revering camera... Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!

I am happy to report that Eonon GA6201 unit is plug and play with HK Logic 7 system and its amps. It sounded great in fact.

Pete, one thing I noticed in your pictures and tutorial was that you placed the GPS antenna under the dash. Doesn't GPS antenna need line of sight? |

No, it will work through a plastic dash and a glass windscreen like they weren't there, the aerial is encased in plastic anyway...!!! Heat reflective windscreens in the later models wouldn't be good but that shouldn't affect yours... |

Pete, I managed to install the Android system following your instructions. The 5M extension was plug and play as I don't have DSP rather the Logic 7 system. My system also came with a wifi antenna in addition to GPS that I placed under the dash.

Hi all looking at the guide it mentions to connect the speaker components to the one of the four channels but no mention of the sub - is it assumed this will be changed? |

The ffrr sub requires a signal on the ibus to turn it on.. As the majority of us aren't Rocket Scientists, the sub is usually left disconnected... However, if you really desire the use of the sub, I would suggest that you run a phono lead from the sub out on the head unit to the rear cubby, where an aftermarket amp can be fitted and wired directly to the sub speakers, bypassing the problematical ibus setup |

Didn't bother, really doesn't effect the sound, try it with Pete's wiring guide and see if it sounds OK.. if it does you saved yourself some dosh, if you really can't live with it then add some passive 2 / 3 way crossovers to the wiring in the boot... easily done, BUT, while 2 way crossover networks can be had for under a tenner a pair you'll find that 3 way crossovers are 4-5 times that price |
