[QUOTE="inetjanitor, post: 1269391, member: 15213"] The radio antenna is pretty straightforward, just get a Best kits BAA20 radio antenna adapter. The backup camera is already powered by the truck so you only need to deal with signal. 2 wires, positive and negative are in the 10 pin harness that is not connected to the new maestro harness. You need an male rca jack to connect to these wires. Center pin is positive and the shroud is negative. Look for the white wire with green stripe and the brown wire with purple stripe. I cut mine from the harness, but you could do a splice just as easily. Splice RCA positive (inside wire) to the white/green wire - Splice RCA negative (outer wire) to the brown/violet wire Connect the rca to the camera input on your new head unit. I recommend you solder and heat shrink these wires. I don’t like bulky butt connectors or taps. You may have to cut back the loom on the factory harness to get enough wire out, but just go slow and try not to nick any of the other wires in there. The maestro harness provides reverse trigger in the harness so if you hook that up to the reverse wire on your deck, you should have a happy camera when the truck is put into reverse. The only thing different is that my truck would keep the camera on once triggered in any gear up to about 10mph. That was a head unit feature that the Kenwood doesn’t replicate. However it does have a button to turn the camera on whenever you want, so I think it’s an ok trade. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro [/QUOTE]
