TomTerritory Member 40 Member For: 3y 5m 6d Posted 10/09/21 06:17 AM Author Share Posted 10/09/21 06:17 AM Sounds like a good work around! So if I use a line converter I can then have an rca to 3.5mm audio jack cable into the front of the new head unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought about it but cbf, I custom wired the reversing camera and have eyeballs so figured that was good enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
