Hi Guys, Just got the information that the rearcamera module works as expected in the Spark EV, so it will work in the normal Spark as well. Anyone interested may write a PM. Bernd

Thanks Waltk, Here you see the backup camera module in action, mind that it also allows that have another Video/Audio Source: Thanks again for moving the Topic. Bernd

Admins / mods, is it ok to post a youtube video link, to show the Backupcam in action?

Hello, Of course its not controlled over CAN-Bus directly, The locking is controlled by the BCM, but i can say the BCM to Lock/Unlock the car, or open/close windows. Please show me one Dongle that is not a ELM327 derivate. OK just found the OBDLink MX, but that is still only doing PIDs. On the Screenshots from their App in the Playstore they still talk about "Manufacturer defined" Fault Codes. Bernd

Hi, Yes, the ELM327 Devices are dirt cheap, but they are also very limited in features. The Devices i invented has also the ability to access the LowSpeed Bus and does understand the CAN-Bus native.

Hi WaltK, Thanks for your answer. I just setting up a business with my US Partner, who will set up a website. I dont want to make too much or too agressive advertisment. First i will translate all the papers into English. And i would love to send a follow up soon. My american partner send out our first us module for the video and backupcam Interface to a tester, so we will soon know, if it works. Bernd

Yes, it is simply plugged onto the obd2 connector.

Hello, My name is Bernd and i am from Germany. I have my own business and develope automotive electronics, specially for GM. I have read, that some of you are searching for a possibility to add a backup camera to your sparks. I recently devevoped a device supporting this feature for the Opel Adam (which does have the same typ of Radio). I also developed a special GM Bluetooth Dongle, allowing a lot of functions including all GM specific Faultcodes read and delete. Maybe this is interessting for some of you. Cheers Bernd
