In reply to Mike Hansen. It’s very likely to work the exact same way. I can’t be 100% sure but I see no reason it wouldn’t.

Do you have any idea if this plan will work for a pioneer AVH 1440NEX?

In reply to Aaron P Van Wyk. I’m using a self powered sub woofer from Rockville. I temporarily mounted the sub to the wall during the early part of build but eventually relocated it to under the passenger seat. Just used a standard subwoofer install kit.

In reply to Anonymous. Yes it does. You may need to change a setting or you may be missing a connection.

Does your backup camera come on when you put the van in reverse? Mine doesn’t and only comes on when I push the camera button on the HU.

Does your back up camera come on when you put your car in reverse? Mine only comes on when I push the camera button on the HU.

I noticed that you mounted a sub-woofer in the wall just behind the driver seat? Could you tell us what you used and how easy was it to install? Did you just make a sort of adapter out of a piece of plywood to attach it in the body cavity? Install an amp somewhere? Thanks and great build!

How did you connect the backup camera to the Pioneer head unit?

In reply to Travis. I ended up using the pioneer microphone. Was getting inconsistent results using the factory microphone. I don’t think I had much slack but was able to get the USB ports in fairly easy. Minus the huge stack of wires that had to be tucked under the top tray. It gets tight in there. Also didn’t use any gps antenna. Use CarPlay for navigation with Waze.
