Add reverse Camera to Ford Mondeo Denso Sat Nav Unit

Postby Dan » 15 Feb 2016, 18:48

Hi all

As the title suggests, I want add a reverse camera video to my OEM Sat Nav

I believe that the universal RGB video is the way to go

What I am looking for is any advice on how to connect it to the screen.. I have attached all the info I could find hoping that someone could make better sense of it than I can.

Link below contains a write up on retro fitting the unit, but it does include (further down) details about the pin connectors

The below image shows the connector information from the FPC Cable between the head unit and the lcd screen.

Hello.
It seems that you don't need any additional video interface to connect rear view camera. According to pinout of the molex connector you will need the following pins: #1 , #3 and one of #27 to #29. Connect the cable with RCA connector to pins #1 and #3. You should be able to switch between OEM-AV-RGB modes with "display mode switch" pin. We can't guarantee that this will work as we've never dealt with such head units before.
Also, it's easier to use NTSC source according to the pinout table.

Hi
That picture what did i put to talkford's forum, sinse that post i took the head unit out. The problem is that, that manual is refer to tfd70w10 screen, which has got a plus part on it. for us the tfd70w24 does not contain that part, maybe one of the unit's containing the "driver" piece for it, as i see under the cd player the fpc cable goes to that pcb, which alredy had a CN1 named connector. Maybe that's what experts should modify and try it.

Hi

I wrote that post on that forum, and that manual is for TDF70W10 screen, not the W24, after i managed to disassamble tha radio i saw that the W24 screen doesn't contain "tcon" board, its maybe under the cd player pcb where the lcd lvds cable goes and there is a CN1 connector, it would be great to know does it got the same pinout or we have just the another way to change the lcd screen itself with a multifunctional driver board.

I have a picture about that pcb
