Do you currently have an OEM backup camera installed?

The eBay auction I purchased it from says the part # is EL3T-18A02-EA, however an eBay search of that number shows quite a few bezels with dual temp control. I'll try to remember to look at the bezel in more detail the next time I have it off and see if there are any other part #'s on it.

Thanks! No worries if you don't need to take it off.

Default Getting started!!

Just ordered my donor apim and a media module. Gonna build the harness first, then I'll order the rest. Nerdh3rd, which size wire did you use for your harness? 20 gauge?

Yep, 20 gauge should work perfectly. Anything bigger has a hard time fitting in the radio side connector.
Do you have a screen to go with the APIM? I should have mine up for sale next week if you need one and are interested ( /end sales pitch here)

I meant that apim is for making the jumper harness. Are you taking your mft out?
