Rearview camera for DS3 2015

Unread post by DragonofYoRHa »

Hello everyone,

Am looking for the schematic / diagram of the rearview camera. Preferably where it goes and what the wire colors mean.

Thanks,

Dragon

Sorry, I don't have a diagram, but these have specific wires to the BSI, the Head Unit and the parking assistance ECU.

Hey Mark,

Thanks for your message. I just need to know what the pinout is from the camera itself, not necessarily where it’s going to. Looking to craft my own loom for a Chinese headunit.
I know there are four pins but I do not know what they are ‘powering’.

Thanks

Very sorry, but as said I don't have any diagrams for this, so can't advise, but for a Peugeot 5008 this is the 4 pin connector that I do have, but be aware that it may be different for your vehicle.

Might come as a silly question, I take it that CAN+ is what actually activates the camera when the car is put in reverse? If so, I think i’ll be able to fabricate a loom myself.
