Does anyone know if a Backup Camera can be easily added to the MyLink Radio without Nav? If the jacks are there to plug the camera bought off ebay into? The radio I have is the MyLink with Touchscreen, XM and single disk CD.
No, I think that NAV is for directions sent via OnStar.Even when I scroll thru the INFO menu using the left hand steering lever I get one screen that comes up "NAV" and another which comes up totally blank. Am I correct to assume that those screens were to be for the NAV and CAM?
Yeah in the nav inside the DIC is OnStar for the non MyLink folks. We still can use it as well if you decide to turn the MyLink screen off at night.No, I think that NAV is for directions sent via OnStar.
Regular Nav and CAM is displayed on the touch screen. I'd think that it would be possible to add the camera. But adding Nav would require changing out the entire radio and radio controls. Not cheap.
No but let us know how it goes. Don't want 2 screens to get back up working. I halfway almost got the OnStar mirror with back up screen in it.anyone tried this?

I'm pretty sure it's the same head unit. It connects to pin 5 of connector X2. X2 is the one that connects the radio to the display. So there's no separate connector, but it uses pins of an existing connector.I have a 2013 2LT with RS, 18" wheels, I have Nav. with my MyLink, but no reverse camera. I would like to install a camera, but from what I've read I'd need a new head unit as there are no connections in the back of my current one (correct me if I'm wrong).
WHen I get the time, I will take a picture / check out the wiring of my OEM back up camI finally had some time and took the trunk liner off to check the wiring. There's a 4 pin connector that goes to the chrome trim piece holding the trunk unlock button and the license plate lights. Unfortunately there isn't a yellow/grey wire on the connector. I have a 2012 Cruze Eco with navigation but no backup camera. At this point I'm not sure if swapping out the chrome trim piece for one with the OEM backup camera will work or not, not to mention the programming problem with the head unit.
Maybe somebody who have the OEM backup camera can help us out by sharing what the wiring looks like?![]()
Not sure it was called MyLink in 11-12 models so it may be different than ours. I'd be happy to buy the actual trunk bar so the wires and pins are already there vs splicing.WHen I get the time, I will take a picture / check out the wiring of my OEM back up cam
i DO know that you CAN put even aftermarket cameras on the cruze and integrate it with the touchscreen system.
If lucky, $50 or so should get it unlocked if they have a clue where to look. That's what I paid for them to go in and turn on afterblow feature for my HVAC. Back up cam is nice feature but don't get your heart set on guidance as that's not until 2015.Did a little more digging in the forum and found out that the wiring should already be there, and changing to a chrome trim piece with camera will indeed give me all the hardware I need. However getting the dealer to update the radio sounds like a pain in the back end.

I also believe there is an aftermarket wire harness that will integrate any backup camera to the module and stock head unit. Will try and look that up too.Not sure it was called MyLink in 11-12 models so it may be different than ours.

IIRC you still need it turned on by dealer.
