Hello - I am installing an aftermarket stereo, a Kenwood DDX9903S purchased from Crutchfield, and so far everything is going as planned. They provided good info for a first-timer car stereo installer. The phone support was also good for the few wires that were not documented or color-matched.
It seems like the problems that many other folks faced on this forum have been worked out in the harness and adapters that Crutchfield sells with the stereo. The stereo powered up right away and the steering controls worked the first time.
However, I do have one gap. I have the factory backup camera that has the 2-wire FAKRA connector (pictured) and the stereo has a female RCA adapter (pictured) . I have found only 1 correctly gendered connector online http://www.vag-navisystems.com/video-rca-adapters/3057/video-adapter-rca-male-to-fakra-male/679?en=1 . It seems that a quicker and cheaper option is that I should be able to cannibalize an RCA cable I have lying around (pictured) and splice in the male RCA connector onto the factory backup camera wire my own connector.
Any thoughts or concerns before I cut the wire coming from the backup camera?
Thanks!
