Looks like I haven't posted this up before. Basic wiring outline for retrofit of the reverse camera on 13MY onwards. Should be useful for someone.

You can't buy the LVDS connectors separately, and that's from the suppliers UK rep.

Pre-facelift CANbus is very different to post facelift.
Will the supplier change the code if you give them the correct field for the signals they use?
Another option is to make a signal adapter ... |
