Connect Rear Camera to Factory Radio LCD
Hi. I have a 2012 Dodge Journey made in Mexico. The original owner installed a rear (parking) camera that is connected to an external LCD screen that replaces the rear view mirror, something similar to this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/7-LCD-Screen-Car-Rear-View-Backup-Parking-Mirror-Monitor-Camera-Night-Vision-/281166291593?pt=US_Rear_View_Monitors_Cams_Kits&hash=item4176d12289
The LCD screen is big and cumbersome and it is of no use 95% of the time, so I want to connect the camera to the factory screen of the music system, like I have seen it here:
So I have been trying to find out what "interface" do i need to do the connection, and I have been recommended to use this http://www.pac-audio.com/productDetails.aspx?ProductId=1043 but I contacted the seller and he said no, so I'm confused.
So, to be brief, I just want to connect a 3rd party rear view parking camera to the factory LCD, which is 4.3 or something like that, and I need to know what interface product I need to use.
Can somebody confirm or give me another connectivity options? Thanks!!!!

I did by chance, and they recommended this: http://www.navtv.com/product/203/uci...eShowProduct=1
But it costs 700 dollars, which seems too much to me, since I would be providing the camera and the lcd.
Any other options?

If you want it to be integrated to the factory system, you just have to pay.
Other wise, you'll have to just find a good spot to mount an external Back Up camera unit, like the Mirror unit.
Not all Mirror units are Gigantic 7" screen, there are quite a few that is the same size as a normal mirror, just look around. But try to avoid Wireless one.
Also, make sure the spec of the Camera is at least 110 degree angle.
