This is a navigation/rearview/front view camera from Tomtop. The cable is a 5 pin that seems specific to this model. If I could figure out how to adapt it to the wireless ones I'd do it but I have no idea which pin is which nor where I'd get an adapter to make it work. So I'm routing the cable. I think the tough part is over. I've had this mirror/nav system for about 2 years now and am just finally getting the rearview part finally hooked up. Just one of those things hanging out there for me to get to. To many things on my to-do list.... Steven 91 Westy
