Was wondering if anyone knew where I could get a backup camera harness for an android 4.2.2 headunit for a 2004 Mazda 3
I'd try searching crutchfield. They're really good at listing what works on what car. Metra makes a ton of harnesses, you can check their application guide online.

So I want to replace the factory double din head unit on my 09 Silverado. It has the bose premium stereo. Problem is I have no idea where to start with these head units. So many options. Joying seems to be the most popular from what I can tell but I don't see anything on the website that says it will work with my truck.
I want Google Music to work
I want factory controls to work
I'd like waze/maps
I want a back up camera.
So where to start??
I got mine on aliexpress. Granted it's for VW, it was plug and play with all controls and even fitted to my dash opening. Make sure you check on their mobile app. Mine was 56% off if ordered that way.

Thanks. So far the GA5180F is the only model i can fine that i believe will work for me
Looks like this one will work:
http://www.roadnavi.com/product/m021-gmc-chevrolet-media-satnav-08-13/
email RoadNavi, their support is pretty great, they have been super helpful for me.
maybe this one from In-Dash.net:
http://www.in-dash.net/buy_en/store/index.php?route=product/product&path=12&product_id=45
but In-Dash is pretty new, needs a lot of tweaking based on their thread here, but it has much better hardware specs
Your first step is to google a standard double din stereo install for your specific Silverado and get the parts list for the dash kit and the wiring harness. Depending on the type of factory stereo you have, you may need a special harness to take care of all the Onstar stuff. See if there are adapters out there that you can reuse your existing backup camera or if you need to go completely aftermarket for the backup camera. I'm sure there is a Silverado specific forum out there that has a step by step write up on how to install a stereo into your Silverado.
Once you're comfortable knowing how to take apart your dash for a basic double din stereo install will take for your car, pick out the dash kit and wiring harness you need.
Then from there, choose any of the universal double din android head units you want. They're mostly the same and right now you can choose between the 4.4.4 and 5.1.1 models. The newer 5.1.1 has a few more built in features like dimming and whatnot that the older 4.4.4 units don't have. Outside of that, the only main difference between a lot of these android head units is which physical buttons you want on the front.
Once installed, tether your phone to the head unit and then configure it like you would any other android device.
I searched a bit to find the correct way to wire my 2014 Toyota Seinna to my new 9” Seicane Android head unit. Even the car stereo specific wiring directions left me questioning which wires I needed to use for steering wheel controls as toyota changed the wire colors periodically.
I made a short tutorial, hopefully it will save someone time in future.
Unfortunately I need to post a few times before I can ad an outside link to the youtube tutorial I made so I will come back and ad the link after making a few posts on other threads.
I am very pleased with this Seicane unit, it has android 9.0, 8 core 4gb and 32gb and a built in carplay dongle.
Hello...
Not sure if this is the correct forum for this or not so apologies.
I've just bought and installed a chinese Android Auto head unit into my Ford S Max. I think the unit is an XY Auto 3.1 8227L, nothing on the box but this is what is specced in the system info. I've purchased a Connects2 Canbus adapter to use with this so that i can retain steering controls etc.
Everything is all wired up correctly and working but I can't find Connects2 in the Canbus setup list or a Ford S Max under any of the other canbus manufacturers. Does anyone know how I can sort this out?
Other issue is that I no longer get my parking sensor beeps - does this go through the canbus as well?
Not fitted a aftermarket unit in years so no real experience with canbus setup.
Thanks
You need to have a look at the right forum... I asked a mod to move your posting to the right one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android-auto/android-head-units
Hello folks,
I bought cheap PX3 Android unit MTCE_LM, but need for upgrading TDA7388 amplifier with the TDA7850 amplifier.
Android is working, updated with Malaysk and MTCE_LM_V3.67d, works with the car via CAN BUS.
As it comes without harness, I need connector for rear view camera, or at least which port should I use for video signal. So far I could not find it...
There's a screens below and thanks in advance!

If you can't find a head unit of a known brand you can buy such a frame with harness for your car and a 9 inch head unit separately.
Best start is to search for the pinout description of your current OEM radio. Because this gives you the possibility to validate the connections and to check if your cars SWC is a resistant matrix. Additonally it helps to use an existing reverse camera.
This can be done before you invest money.
If your SWC it is a resistance matrix you can directly connect the head unit and use the learn functionality to map your SWC buttons to different functions.
If you already have a reverse camera and you want to continue to use it you have to connect it by yourself. E.g. by finding a prepared adapter or by creating your own. Here is the description how I realized it for another car - just to give you an idea:
Junsun V1 MTK8259 - the adapter battle (Kia Ceed Jd) / OEM camera usage / reference thread
I bought the Junsun V1 head unit but my Kia Ceed JD had a OEM nav unit which isn't directly compatible to Junsun V1. So I re-wired the wiring harness based on the pins description of my original OEM navigation unit. I'm only modifying the wiring...

The head unit sellers estimation is that you start with a stupid radio and so my car, which already had an outdated navigation head unit, was a special case - without a ready to use solution.
And please figure out if you own a Ford Mondeo MK3 or a MK4.
Car is MK4 and as far as I know it has resistant matrix at SWC. I found the same fascia as in picture you sent.
Reason why I wan't to install 9" unit is that I have Junsun V1 Pro from my former car. It would not be very expensive to test how it works, only CanBus decoder and wiring harness needed.

If you don't need CAN features even the decoder isn't needed. And it's better to connect resistant matrix bypassing the can box.

But now I see that you air condition has no separate display. As you know, to get this functionality a can box is required.
