Reverse Camera w/ PCCM Plus?

Getting ready to have this installed, already sourced some extra brackets as per others recommendation's and installation experiences. The real question being who has installed, or sourced, or knows where to find a reverse camera that will work with this system in the 996tt? I have been unable to find anything concrete although others have mentioned in passing posts that there is an input via the back or USB.

TIA and I know I can't be the only one looking to do this.

I switched out the OEM double din nav for a Pioneer 10 years ago. The reverse camera just plugs into it. Since you can't get Nav updates, there really isn't much point in keeping the OEM unit. There are inputs for everything in the after market units. I have Sat radio, SD Card music, IPod input, DVD and the rear camera. I haven't looked back since.

Celbrett is infamous around these parts
I haven't heard of anyone that has done this. I would imagine it is more complicated than plug and play and some coding of the head unit is needed for it to work.

Good luck on the install.

Under the skin it an Android HU, absolutely can be done, a button can even be made to go to that' MODE'. i do not know how to program it so when it hits reverse its automatically displayed but imagine it can be done with a button


Just find it somewhat incredible that its taken this long for an OEM retrofit solution and we have it, it does Carplay (welcome to 2017) but we can't get a reverse function for it? That is dumb.
