Display change trying to keep the rear camera as standard.

[Alest180]

Good evening everyone, Good evening everyone, I just signed up and I wanted to ask you this question, I am the owner of a fiesta St180 of 2016, European model (I am Italian) I would like to change the display of the synchronization I have problems with the video cable of the rear camera, someone knows if there are adapters, I attach photos , the first is the original Ford connector, the second is the cable to connect the rear camera of the new display I hope some of you can help me. Thank you very much.

This is the best schematic I can help with...


You have a 4-wire system, Ford uses a 6-wire system - with 2 wire wrapped in a coaxial shield - which is in the above diagram - that black wire with square on point - as shield and uses Ferrite Beads to reduce RF noise

So video "live feed" is "Brown - violet stripe" for positive while the negative side is GREY - Green Stripe.

Shield bonds to Black with Blue stripe is chassis ground.

Power to the camera is thru a White with Blue Stripe wire while the "trigger" to turn the video on or off, is Violet (solid)

But more importantly - is the PIN OUT pins used.

Connector: Purpose
Pin used
Pin 1 Power
Pin 2 Trigger
Pin 3 Video +
Pin 4 Video -
Pin 5 Ground (Chassis)
Pin 6 Shield

thank you very much, sorry but I'm not very expert in simpler words, should I take the original Ford cable and connect the wires in the cable of the new Display?

 

[Alest180]

But the Ford cable only has 4 pins.

I'm not mounting an original but an aftermarket display.

Ok, the "parking aid" camera cable uses a shield and ties shield and Ground together Which is back at the case - the Video Negative is left out unconnected - it is now part of the shield and ground cable.

Sorry to not have updated this - got pulled away - get that a lot this season. Been very busy at work.

Do you think there are adapters that go from the original ford connector to the RCA connector of the new display?

Do you have access to computer pin headers (Male side) and their connectors (Female side)?

Because; the size of those pins and their spacing reminds me of the days of the older '386 PC in the AT or XT format that have pin header risers that may fit the connector pin-out per spacing and size.

All you have to do is set up the header to fit the wiring needs of that connector - test and rewire as needed and simply epoxy or dip in liquid tape to seal the connection.
