I've installed a Kenwood with a Metra 99-3012G. I'm getting the reverse signal but where in the heck is the camera's analog signal?????? I assume that one of the wires on the 44 pin is the + side of the signal and that the camera isn't actually transmitting over frames on the canbus. I've Googled and Googled and am finding nothing relevant.
Where is the OEM backup camera signal????

Sedans Rule!
I don't have the answer but have you looked around the following website to see if it may have the answer? Maybe in one of the downloadable manuals?

Yea, I have scoured the internet thoroughly with no success. I'm really big on self help and not asking questions that you can easily find the answer for, but this one has me stumped. I can't be the first person to have a factory backup cam and replace their HU with aftermarket. Maybe they just ditch having a backup cam. Worse case scenario I am thinking is that I have to go to the hatch, cut the wires near the camera, and run the signals up front with new leads. I hate to add in infrastructure unnecessarily. I've been waiting to find that the analog signal is converted to digital in the back and sent over the canbus high at which point I would have no choice but to snip them in the back and reroute an analog signal.

Didn't the adapter you're using come with a diagram or flags on the wires to identify the functions?
....if it has tits or tires it can be upgraded
It came with instructions but nothing references the video feed. My best guess is that the video is coming over the canbus.

I might have misunderstood. Are you looking for the actual video feed or just the reverse indicator wire?

I am looking for the actual video feed. I've got the reverse indicator and my HU switched to the video input when I put the car in reverse but I have no video to pump in to it.

I'll see if one of my techs can help on this tomorrow. If it's already installed it should be pretty simple since it draws power from the reverse lights
I've been creeping all over the cruze forums trying to find a diagram, successful install, anything. All posts are old with broken links to pics so i feel your struggle!

This might help, from the description it looks like pin 7/8 in the connector is the video?

I really appreciate it. I've got two 5th Gen Camaros that I mod and I tinker with this Sonic so I typically can find my own answers but this one has landed in the Unsolved Mysteries file...
I saw that and tried but no go. I soldered an RCA male to some leads and them to some pins that I fabbed out of paper clip pieces.

When I first saw this post I assumed some crafty googling would get err done, definitely piqued my interest.
I didn't get a chance to talk to a tech today but I'll see what I can come up with tomorrow. Worst case I'm pulling my own head unit and figuring it out #frustrated #notevenmything lol

PM me your VIN. Last 8 will suffice. - May not need
*this assumes 2014 with RPO code UVC. PM me if you need more info cause I might forget to check this thread again.
It is 7 and 8 ... in the X1 connector.
Looking at the connector cavities, latch on the top (smaller cavities on top), number 1 is the far right on the top.
The circuit numbers match up with the camera connector in the hatch / trunk area which is where the feed comes from. You may make sure that the camera is receiving battery positive voltage when desired. I'm not sure where this harness is located but the connector for the camera itself should have voltage on pin 6 and ground on 5 when the camera is desired. It is backwards from the other connector in numbering though. Looking at the connector's open cavities with the latch on top number 5 is on the bottom left, 6 is one hole to the right.
Hope this helps.
