JellyBean

I had a similar but slightly different problem on my 2002 Monaco. My key-fob worked. The keypad lights made it seem to work but no signal was getting thru to the relay circuit board. After testing the connector at the keypad it confirmed the problem was near the circuit board.

After getting great help from iRV2 forum I located the circuit board. Behind the radio center dash. Un-plugging the connectors and reinstalling to clean up the connection I could make the system work by manually grounding the open / lock pins at the connector near the keypad. Finally I found the keypad code and everything worked.

I don't know if your 2006 uses the same components and it's odd both systems failed at the same time but it might be worth it to find your Relay circuit board to verify. Here is my post of my adventure.... Best luck for a resolution to you!  Glenn

Jelly bean I can’t the whole cable out so I will have to cut it off about a foot or two from connector. Here is pic of connector:

 

 

 

Thank You for sending the cable! It will make completing my "Duel Camera" project MUCH easier!

If you are ever in the neighbor hood you are always welcome to have a place to park and explore our area. Power, water, hospitality.

That end will allow me to complete my installation of the new camera system without cutting the existing cable. Thanks!

That is great! Thank You!n Email send.

On our 2005 Signature there is a proprietary Sony 6-Pin connector that looks like it is an S-Video or MiniDIN, but it isn’t.

RVCams and Tadi Brothers both have adapter cables for that Sony connector. I think that is the cheapest way.

I have thought about putting a smaller nozzle on my 3 D printer to see if I could print one, but will probably buy the connectors that the companies above have had built.

Gotta love Sony.... Just removed the cable from my working camera. Did a pin-out. Four wires; 1 Black, 1 Blue, 2 white. Good grief! Why couldn't they use yellow for video signal like almost everyone else??? Soooo Black is ground. Blue must be power. White is sound & the other White is video.

My 4 pin cable is small; 1/4 diameter. I'll probably end up trashing a working b&w camera. Thanks for that info! Glenn

Bob,

That's a good idea. If you don't mind I'll include it in my write-up of my complete install. For me I'll be using a mic. The HD camera will be on with the ignition and primarily used as a rear view camera with it's own separate fold-down monitor. ( I just can't get used to not having that mirror ) The replacement monitor in the dash will access the hitch view with "parking lines" ; triggered by being in reverse. ( kinda useless except for distance and objects )

Here's the mount so far. The lower camera pivots up & down within it's own mounting housing. Cheap but functional.

This is posted in the classified so I will leave this up thru the weekend then mark as sold? I don't want to violate an rules....

I would take 4 pins (maybe from an old pc board, or even solid wire), stick them in the holes, add some hot glue for isolation and rigidity then a little heat shrink around the whole mess.  A lot cheaper than $50.

I find the Sony camera pretty useless. 

Best,

- bob

 

But better than none (for now....)

When done I will have two. One high resolution with the greater field of vision and a second, using the original wiring, looking more downward at the ball area.

Good suggestion of making my own using pins or wire. I will give that more thought!

That's ok! THANK YOU! for taking the time to search for your old camera. Something will turn up....

Tried "sony 4 pin camera cable connector"  

Would any of these work?  https://www.google.com/search?q=sony+4+pin+camera+cable+connector&rlz=1C1GGRV_enUS751US756&sxsrf=ALeKk03vDufVsvMAUWkV9YnsSLLCfzeJUg%3A1621200708947&ei=RI-hYMiaOYbbtAarsYTwDw&oq=sony+4+pin+camera+cable+connector&gs_lcp=Cgdnd3Mtd2l6EAMyBQghEKABOgUIIRCrAjoICCEQFhAdEB5Q4gpYvSBg3CpoAHAAeACAAZIDiAGtDZIBCDEuMTAuNC0xmAEAoAEBqgEHZ3dzLXdpesABAQ&sclient=gws-wiz&ved=0ahUKEwjIzPaik8_wAhWGLc0KHasYAf4Q4dUDCA4&uact=5

The only one that would work is the Vovager adapter which is basically $50 plus shipping. Then I would cut the end off to splice it onto my new camera....

Thanks; I have looked. In the end I will probably cut the cable off my working camera and trash it. I don't want to but it's either that or hack my OEM wiring in the coach.

Thanks everyone! Just a cable adapter is 50 + shipping; only to be cut-up....  RV Cams are the larger diameter style. Hoping Stillrunning saved his.

My Sony cam is a working unit (sound too). Hate to cut it up for the cable end.... Maybe I can find an installer with one after a swap-out.

Needing a Sony backup camera for the cable. I think any of the small, 1/4 diameter, cables will do. Cable only; 4 pin female end. Don't need the camera. Wanting to splice my new camera to the old OEM wiring of my 2002 Monaco Windsor.

Thank You for looking!

Glenn
