but I don't know what would be the best spot to splice into the signal.

Digging up an old thread here insteado f makign a new one...did you ever find a good spot to tap into??

 

[Fordman460]

Give me a few minutes, I'll try to dig up the info I found. I apologize for not updating this thread when I completed my install.

Found it!






Long story short; right behind the bezel and the control box gizmo, find the two wires and splice the video wires in. I did the original wires to the display in one end of and environmental splice and the wires from the camera and the transmitter in the other. If you have any more questions I'll be around.

awesome thanks man! Good info!

Anyone install this with the backup camera yet? Does the back up camera app work while driving or does it only transmit while in reverse like stock?

Anyway, I really think this is the best infotainment solution. You can get the camera on Amazon for $50, hold out for another sale on this kit and wait for that $250 price tag, and craigslist a Ipad Mini 2 on Verizon for ~$200. Then boom, for ~$550 you only have almost replaced Sync with iOS!.. that is until you have to pull the sync fuses because bluetooth broke

I am waiting to get my stang from the shop. Some asshole hit me in a parking lot. But I talked to the guy at audioexpress and facebook and I bought the iPad kit for 240 shipped from him avoid g PayPal and eBay fees he was willing to work. Bought the wifi kit on amazon for 38 I believe. And I bought the iPad mini 4 on Black Friday for 150. Just need to get the car back......

I am in the process of installing this right now. I used posi taps to tap into the camera wires instead of splicing it like the video shows and it works but the picture is blurry. Posi taps have great reviews and I have never had an issue with them before but does anyone know if I splice and solder the wires if I will get a better picture on my ipad?

I used aviation grade environmental splices and it's not blurry exactly, but it's not an HD image either. To answer one of the other questions asked above, it only shows the camera image with the wifi app up and speeds below ~5.

Did you use butt connectors? If so did you completely cut the wire for the back up camera and butt connect that to the wifi adapter?

They are butt connectors. I simply cut the factory wires and added in the wifi wires. One wire in one side of the metal and 2 in the other. Heat the heat shrink and it seals against the environment.
