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....
