If you push the pin into the connector, you're pretty much committed. That way, if the wiring is not right, i can pull it off gently and move it around.īut you're right. As a test though, i'm going to try to push in the bush contact directly onto the pin (instead of inserting them into the carrier first). I also ordered a mess of those pig-tail bushing contacts, so i'm fully prepared to yank out wires (if necessary) and if the contact pin comes off, i'll need to do some re-splicing/soldering/heat-shrink-tubing. Fortunately, they sent a TON of extra connectors (more than i ordered), so i'll have a chance to try a few things. I don't have to swap wires, but i have to re-do wiring. I still have to resolve my PDC wiring issue, but i finally got all the parts in so i'm going to give that a go next weekend before i embark on the rear cam install. I'm goodīut to your point, I feel your pain somewhat steelerfan.

there was a typo in the BMW install instructions (concerning pin #22), but later in the same guide, they fixed their own mistake (corrected it to be pin #24). I couldn't find a way to get the connector apart which would be the only way to stick a tiny small flat screwdrivers in there to release the pin. And i'm wondering how you would swap the wires to try a different combination. I would actually like to know how many have followed this & got it working period to be completely honest.

Roxxor's instructions are different than the BMW install manual FBAS+/FBAS-/Shield wires and how they hooked into the NBT head unit A42 connector.

The question is about the 3 wires to the head unit - e.g. There's somewhat of a big discrepancy that i see, and i figure the best way to resolve it is to ask those who got it actually working i have an NBT head unit and NOT a CIC head unit.įor those who got their camera's working and have NBT, did you guys hook up the 3 wires that go to the NBT head unit per roxxor's original information, or did you follow the BMW install guide thats been floating around here? I'm getting ready to do my reverse cam install soon, but i wanted to double-check all my info before i started.
