28-pin Backup Camera Wiring adapter (WIth Steering Wheel button signals) for 2016+ Subaru vehicles

Item Number: 1601-8

Installing a Pioneer/Sony/Kenwood/Alpine or other aftermarket headunit in your vehicle? These harnesses maintain many of the features of your stock unit, including connecting your stock backup camera to your new aftermarket headunit. Below is the set of harnesses that connect to the factory wiring harness on a 2016+ Subaru. These harnesses will provide wire connections for an aftermarket headunit without splicing wires or cutting the factory harness.

Harman Kardon Note: If your vehicle has the Harman Kardon audio package, installation of an aftermarket headunit will require additional hardware to replace/bypass the factory Harman Kardon amplifier. Please contact us for details.

The backup camera interface will provide 6 vdc to your backup camera for power and will also provide the video signal to the aftermarket headunit.

28-pin Harness:

The 28-pin harness will retain:
-Backup camera funtionality
-Auxiliary inputs(***Analog audio input only. USB is not included***)
-Reverse Gear Signal
-Vehicle Speed Signal
-E-brake Signal
-Steering Wheel control signals will be provided via a connector for the Maestro SW. Integration will require an iDatalink Maestro or similar steering wheel control integration unit. (The AXXESS ASWC-1 is not recommended for this application - More Info) The Maestro SW will be plug and play!

Need a 3.5mm cable for your steering wheel controls? If your headunit has the capability to recognize the steering wheel controls without an interface module, such as the iDatalink Maestro, you may need a cable to connect between the 3.5mm jack on the headunit and the 28-pin harness. The 3.5mm jack for connecting to the back of the new headunit can be purchased HERE.
