By the way, now that we have solved the backup camera issue, theoretically, shorting out the reverse signal wire (Red/black) pin 24on connector C-9 and then jumping rear video in from Pin 47 (sky blue wire) on Connector C-7 to the orange wire, should allow you to play a DVD on the rear entertainment system while you are driving. You could mount a switch selector to go between the rear camera and the rear display so you don't have competing inputs. I think I'll try this out next!
Still not sure how one could get a DVD in the front head unit to play while driving though.

Nope it doesn't go there - as I noted, it terminates at C-19 which is one of the white harnesses that kind of hangs off the Head Unit chassis. You're going to have to wire it either along the headliner or floor.

I wish I had the schematic, cause I'd pull the unit this weekend and play with it.
On a side note, great job on locating the video input for the backup camera!

The speed sensor wire is terminal 13 on C-10 (red/green wire). But you can't just disconnect it because the system also uses the GPS to determine speed. You can watch a DVD at any speed by disconnecting the speed sensor wire AND unplugging the GPS antennae but then:
a) Nav system is f*cked
b) Mileage calcs, etc. are f*cked
c) Speed calcs, etc.are f*cked
However, at least you can watch a movie while driving around in circles completely lost!

RDENIS how do you get to that service screen? I went out and played with mine today and couldnt find it. Almost 3 months have gone by and I have yet to come across that one.

That answers my previous question, if the US Outlander was prewired for the backup camera. Now, if only that VR-3 has a Video out option on its small camera, then we don't need to run wires all the way from the back. Costco sell them for 89$. I don't know if someone has bought one before. Although I can see from the side of the in-dash monitor, there is a 3.5mm jack, and I would presume it's a video out, but I can't confirm it.
