JellyBean Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 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 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacwjames Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 (edited) Here is a 4 pin camera cable, you will have to check to see if it is compatible. https://www.rvcams.com/p/65-MD.html Edited May 16, 2021 by jacwjames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillRunning_60 Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Glenn I will go look and see if I have the cable that was on my old Sony. I may have left it in my 02 Windsor because I ran a new cable with my new camera. Let you know sometime today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JellyBean Posted May 16, 2021 Author Share Posted May 16, 2021 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.

rpasetto Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. . Edited May 16, 2021 by JellyBean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbr046 Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's some more food for thought - use the microphone wire to control a relay to switch between the hi-res and Sony cams. The trick is finding the right relay switch. I'm not sure your basic 12V relay would uphold signal integrity . . . thoughts anyone? - bob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JellyBean Posted May 17, 2021 Author Share Posted May 17, 2021 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.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Hutto Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 It’s all good! Leave it up for a while; not all of our members look at the site everyday. Hope you find one! PS - @pwhittle is really good at figuring out those connectors. He may be able to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwhittle Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 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.

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. pwhittle My 4 pin cable is small; 1/4 diameter. I'll probably end up trashing a working b&w camera.

StillRunning_60 Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Jellybean while installing new rear clearance lights found the 4 pin connector for the Sony camera. If you still need it text me on my email @stillrunning_60@hotmail.com 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StillRunning_60 Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
