Excellent work, RedBaron.
Now I just have to figure out the wires for the stock mic.

RedBaron, Which wire did you use for the 12v/6V step down regulator? It is always on that source?
Did you use the Accessory Output(1A) for something?
What could we use it for?
On the high end Kenwood units, they have a wire harness that are used to control outside features, but I'm not familiar with these functions.
If I understand correctly, the connections to the Interface Connector, they all have to come from the Kenwood right?
I see illumination on both connectors, the interface connector and also on the vehicle connector too.
It seems, that the 3.5mm jack, it won't be used in our application, only the blue wire, am I right?
Why they couldn't make a diagram, I don't understand?

With mine, it's the TEL button. That's exactly why I have the camera powered all the time the car is running. The green lead is grounded when the camera is in reverse, but you'd have to use that and a relay to get power to the camera only when in reverse, and then there could be a delay as the camera powers up.Thank you RedBaron.
There is no reverse signal somewhere to use that for the camera?
On the other hand, on Kenwood units if you hold down the NAV button for two seconds, the camera will show up on the screen. I hope that I remember correctly.
Hi all.. instead of making your own 12V to 6V adapter, could I just buy one of these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/ (commissions earned)
Any idea if that would work? Getting ready to pop in a Pioneer 8000nex next weekend in my CX-5 grand touring.
Kind sir, could you please provide more details? A brief tutorial or a link to the converter transister you used? This is the number one reason why I haven't upgraded the headunit yet. If using the OEM camera is possible, I'm all over it.
Thanks!
the is the stepdown I used and it worked perfectly.
I have one of these, that I'm planning to use.

I would not recommend getting the switching regulators that are also available, since they can give off a lot of electrical noise and interfere with the video and/or audio signals (e.g. https://www.ebay.com (commissions earned)).
