Just wanted to throw out an update to this video..I followed this EXACTLY as he spoke, word for word! Except for 2 major things: 1, I purchased a 13 inch (yes they fit great and perfect on any pro master) for my 2020 1500 high roof promaster. This was from the same company, and a slightly different unit, it was a single not a double head unit. 2. I did NOT use the updater device thing, as it is not available. I said F IT full send if it works it works, if not i'll return it to amazon. IT WORKS AMAZING! EVERY single wire that is needed and matches another MUST be spliced and cut and heat shrinked together. Once that is done, and you followed this video EXACTLY (other than my two points) it will work just fine. There is only 1 major issue, i have no rear camera when going into reverse. i have to click the camera rear app that came pre installed in order to see my rear cam (stock promaster camera). i am going to try and purchase the joying rear cam and see if that makes a difference. So yes, to all you pro master owners, this will work on your NEWER model van no problem. Even with any of the joying units!!! Just literally follow his instructions piece by piece and you'll have an amazing system in your van.
Im so freaking excited dude. Going to convert a promaster to a camper and since I'm gonna be driving it a lot i wanted to upgrade the electronics. Thanks for making this doable for me man i appreciate it.
Thank you for making this. I'm finishing a Promaster Van conversion at the moment and have been looking for something exactly like this. Will be my first project when the conversion is done.
I bought all the items on the list, they will arrive next Wednesday. I hope everything goes well with my installation. I'll post here if I'm successful.
Thanks for this excellent video, and for the follow up for my tech questions! So glad I went with this purchase and followed your instructions! So stoked on how it turned out.
@@Mac19124 Yes everything is still working! The wired connection to carplay has become a bit glitchy and takes 2 times to connect. But once connected it's good. However I re-read the amazon description for the Joying unit and it says it has wireless carplay to my surprise? I can't figure out how to do it or find any related setting. @jackofallmasterofNone did you get yours working with wireless carplay or do you plug in?
Thank you so much. I ordered all the same parts as you and successfully installed it in my 2021 ProMaster. It works perfectly! All the steering wheel buttons work, except for the mute button. Your video was really helpful! Again thank you! Do you have Patreon or another way I can donate to you? You saved me a lot of $$$ by not having to get it professionally done.
I'm so glad it helped you! I dont have Patreon and don't do this for the money but if you insist there is a "Thanks" option on my video where you can make a donation. If you are looking at it on the TH-cam phone app it's near the thumbs up, and share buttons
Hi @nylahtay... Did you need to connect any of those 5 NAVIGATION OUTPUT cables? I ask this because my 2019 ProMaster is not recognizing the steering wheel buttons. And yours is 2012... so, I think that there is no incompatible versions... just one or more mistakes from my part. lol
Great video. I have been recently looking at upgrading my 2016 pro master. Trying to get as big a screen as possible without a huge price. Very interesting...
An FYI for others who maybe interested in this upgrade. I have a 2018 and followed the setup as described in the video using the PAC interface and it worked without any issues. The 10in Joying unit I received is a newer model running Android 12. There was no SWC app for setting the steering wheel controls instead there is a section in the unit settings that allows you to map the steering wheel keys. I used the orange/white wire from the PAC Nav Outputs to connect to the Joying orange wire this enabled the display to change from day to night setting when the lights are turned on. Other than that I followed everything as Jack did and I'm happy with the result. For the price its excellent! One of my steering wheel controls is not working so I'll have to look into that maybe the contact needs to be cleaned 😀
The only orange wire coming from the joying wire harness is orange with white stripe. So are we going orange with white stripe to orange with white stripe? It's in the nav wire bundle. Thanks!
@@davidcook9303 Its been a while since I did this but I'm pretty sure it was a 'orange' wire from the joying unit. Maybe your joying unit has a orange/white wire there is a good chance we have different models. You can give it a try. If there are no other orange wires my guess is its the right one but of course I can't be sure sorry 😐
My radio just went weird (like the interface is suddenly half dark now [I can see the top but not the bottom], so I can't clearly see my backup camera view in it anymore also) so I'm REALLY interested in copying this setup of yours. Thanks for making the video!
Great tutorial! You make me think I can actually do this. Couple questions: Do the backup camera lines add ON TOP of the original camera’s lines so that you have two sets of lines, or can you turn one set of lines off? Also, are the backup lines “adjustable?” So, can you align them to adjust for the parallax of the camera? Thanks for putting this up.
The stereo does have lines that can be adjusted. The problem is the factory camera has lines also that cannot be adjusted. So I turned off the stereo lines and only see the factory ones.
Thanks for walking us through your install, pretty impressive work! I'm thinking of doing a similar thing to my 2021 Promaster. Question about the CANbus info. Can you see your RPM, tire pressures, door lock information? Not sure if the 2014 had those available...
Ok this is a great radio aka entertainment center! When someone calls my voice very very weak on their phone. I see conflicting ideas how to fix this issue. PS We do not have steering controls
No. The headlight connection is just a wired connection from the aftermarket installation harness to the stereo, just like any aftermarket stereo. You then go in to the settings on the unit and basically tell it to turn on the button lights and dim the display based on the headlight input
I installed a similar unit about 2 years ago. Over the course of Canadian winters... found out that the heater would over heat the unit. Did you have any issues?
Hello Jack. Did you need to replace the original backup camera? If not, how did you connect it to the new radio? And did you have to splice in any new interface cables or did you just connect the interface to the main cable connector?
Steering wheel controls are not recognized in the Sync app. Should I connect another cable to that NAVIGATION output? My reversing camera wasn't working, but I connected the GREEN "BACK" cable as you instructed in another video and it worked. Only the steering wheel controls don't work.@@JackofAllMasterofNone
I think you wouldn't need the interface, but don't quote me on that. You can probably just get a simple wiring harness adapter like an old school radio
On my pro-master, the option to check the trip range is on my interface. When installing a aftermarket radio, will I loose that ability to check? Did you?
any issue with the airbag light coming on? I bought your exact setup minus the radio itself (went with a different brand) and my airbag light comes on every time i plug the PAC interface in
No issues with that. Sounds like the PAC harness is causing the problem. It's probably jamming the CAN network. Make sure you plug it in just like the instructions say to and how I did in this video. If it still doesn't work, you may have a bad PAC harness.
I'm almost done with the conversion, but my backup camera doesn't work! I'll gladly pay you more if you can help me with this last step. I'll be commenting/messaging with details. Thanks!
Let's start with the obvious. The green wire coming out of the PAC interface should have plus 12 volt power on it when the vehicle is in reverse. So you need to check that with a multimeter. If it does not have + 12 volt power, something is wrong with the PAC interface or it is not compatible. They claim it is only compatible with 2014 through 18. If you do have power coming from the green wire when in reverse it needs to be connected to the orange wire labeled back on the joying harness. That will trigger the stereo to look for the backup camera signal. You also need to make sure the RCA cable coming out of the pack harness is plugged into the camera in rear view wire on the joying harness. Let me know where you are at with this and the results
I've read through all the comments on here, and I think I just don't understand this part of your comment, and that I'm missing this vital connection: "The can box interface has a backup camera trigger wire coming out of it. You have to connect that wire to the trigger wire on the Joying unit. Then double check that the backup camera trigger is turned on in the Joying factory settings." Questions: -Where/what is the backup trigger wire coming out of the Can Box? -Where/what is the trigger wire on the Joying unit? (Trigger wire isn't mentioned in your video or any of the manuals, I realize it's prob slang or industry term for a signal wire, but which one is it? AKA the label on the wire or unit.) -I went through factory settings and don't see a "backup camera trigger" in there. Anything related to backup camera I've played with, toggled on and off, and no luck. -What does the orange "back" wire mean...is it for backup lights? Backup camera? It comes out of the head unit but there's no matching orange wire coming from the RAM harness. Guessing this wire is involved... It seems like many others have struggled getting the backup camera to work. I'm hoping by posting some pictures and getting some clarity it can help others too! When it switches to reverse, nothing happens on the screen. Here's an IMGUR post with the relevant pics: imgur.com/gallery/UzzKUaJ and below are individual links Orange "BACK" wire: i.imgur.com/bruNE7J.jpeg Printed Diagram: i.imgur.com/KPxTzoV.jpeg Joying Head Unit Diagram: i.imgur.com/sOdI39J.jpeg Harness pic 1: i.imgur.com/lLgPPK7.jpeg Harness pic 2: i.imgur.com/oK6Kvzb.jpeg PAC unit: i.imgur.com/cpAK307.jpeg PAC bits: i.imgur.com/E0gU3C5.jpeg Unrelated, I think, but the RAM stereo had 2 of these connectors, and the Joying (with converter) only has one...which does it plug into....either? i.imgur.com/qGB38rB.jpeg Any help would be much appreciated as the camera is 100% required for me! @jackofallmasterofnone
@@JackofAllMasterofNone you are THE BEST! That's exactly what I needed and what was missing. Connected the green wire to the orange wire and presto! I'm now rocking and rolling with a reverse camera! And you are right, this stereo did wake up the sound system! More money coming at ya for your time and efforts :-)
Thinking of installing this in a Promaster 3500 2019 to replace the factory uconnect - do you think the harness that Joying sent you would work for 2019? PAC-RP2-CH21 I think only works up to 2015 model. Thanks for sharing :)
I'm not sure. It may. Obviously something changed since like you said PAC only works for 14-15. Or maybe they are wrong. Not a ton of info for the Promaster stuff out there.
@@JackofAllMasterofNone Can’t figure out the blue+pink cable you connected to the Brown Key1 cable. What is that for? How do I get the built in backup camera to work on the joying unit?
@@cyberone6044 The pack unit has a video output cable that plugs into the backup camera input on the joying. The key one wire is for the steering wheel controls
@@JackofAllMasterofNone So plug the RCA from the PAC to the RCA IN on the Joying unit? Where do you connect the Key 1 wire? I don't seem to have blue/pink cable. Is that coming from the Joying unit or the PAC? Thanks again for your help.
I need your help, is it possible to keep the radio on without having the engine running? and it turns off when you open the door? I have a ram promaster city and they don't have an acc option. Thanks
No idea. Id try a hard reboot. Aka pull the power plug and try to reset. Firmware updates don't cause the screen to not come on, so that is very odd. If that doesn't fix it you need to reach out to joying direct.
CVBS N is for the factory camera. As far as dash camera, Did you plug the USB cable into the one that is extended out of the back of the unit? You then have to install the program for the dash camera it will show up in the file manager. And then enter the program to view the camera
@@JackofAllMasterofNone yeah I figured everything else out dash cams working units back on I have the factory camera set to n but when I put in reverse the screen doesn't change or at all it's like signal doesn't even get to it
Do you know if the PAC unit works with a 2020 Honda CR-V? I installed the Joying 10.1 w knob. My reverse camera works but static line don't move and my sensor don't work either.
You should reach out to Joying. I don't believe the lines move on that year of CRV. The sensors should work though. It may be a settings problem with the canbus decoder. The PAC unit would not be correct for your CRV
@@JackofAllMasterofNone I reached out to them earlier this week. They are sending anoth canbus. Not sure if it is same or different. Customer support has been good at best. But all my issues so far have been addressed.
@@JackofAllMasterofNone oh, in the parts of the video you have that showed the guage cluster those lights were blinking. And I am of course interested in very specifically that stuff because what I read is that that stuff can be a problem when changing out the head unit. I might have missed a part of the video where you showed the gauge cluster without the engine, batt and belt lights blinking.
@@JackofAllMasterofNone Oh wait, maybe that was not blinking but rather an aliasing effect from the camera and the lights maybe blinking at a high frequency because of some electronics? But I don't know why those lights would be on a high frequency ac circuit. They certainly don't blink like that for me when I'm in ACC or ON For instance at 20:07,
@Jack of All Master of None alright, time to do research. I have the pioneer dmh-1500NEX so wondering if I may need as many converters as you did. you happen to have a link for the single din bezel?
@@JackofAllMasterofNone Just followed your instructions to a T on my 2018 Promaster 2500 and I have the same issue - my camera is not detected when shifting into reverse. Do you know the name of the Android app that is supposed to be launched when shifting into R? Any backup camera specific settings I should look at? 🙏
The can box interface has a backup camera trigger wire coming out of it. You have to connect that wire to the trigger wire on the Joying unit. Then double check that the backup camera trigger is turned on in the Joying factory settings.
man i think my comment got deleted because i had links in it is it possible to ask you some questions via direct message or email or something? thanks in advance

You would have to wire the red wire going in to the radio to a switched 12v source so that you can keep it on
Thanks! What model is the trim kit?

Hey man I just updated firmware and now screen won't come on
No idea. Id try a hard reboot. Aka pull the power plug and try to reset. Firmware updates don't cause the screen to not come on, so that is very odd. If that doesn't fix it you need to reach out to joying direct.
That radio works on 2017????
Yes
What app launcher are you using that has the animated wallpaper?
Just stock one
What's your camera setting. Just followed everything and have no backup camera
What do you mean? I did an AHD camera. The stock one would be a CVS camera. You do need to set that in the settings or double check.
@JackofAllMasterofNone yea I'm using factory camera. Only have cvbs N and Cvbs P
Also using same dash cam you recommend and no video. Cam is plugged into the long usb cable coming out of joying?
CVBS N is for the factory camera. As far as dash camera, Did you plug the USB cable into the one that is extended out of the back of the unit? You then have to install the program for the dash camera it will show up in the file manager. And then enter the program to view the camera
@@JackofAllMasterofNone yeah I figured everything else out dash cams working units back on I have the factory camera set to n but when I put in reverse the screen doesn't change or at all it's like signal doesn't even get to it
Do you know if the PAC unit works with a 2020 Honda CR-V? I installed the Joying 10.1 w knob. My reverse camera works but static line don't move and my sensor don't work either.
You should reach out to Joying. I don't believe the lines move on that year of CRV. The sensors should work though. It may be a settings problem with the canbus decoder. The PAC unit would not be correct for your CRV
@@JackofAllMasterofNone I reached out to them earlier this week. They are sending anoth canbus. Not sure if it is same or different. Customer support has been good at best. But all my issues so far have been addressed.
How can I buy?
what about the blinking battery and seatbelt light and the check engine light in the gauge cluster? Does that get fixed somehow?
That was not a thing. No lights were onthat shouldn't have been. They always come on when your first start the vehicle.
@@JackofAllMasterofNone oh, in the parts of the video you have that showed the guage cluster those lights were blinking. And I am of course interested in very specifically that stuff because what I read is that that stuff can be a problem when changing out the head unit. I might have missed a part of the video where you showed the gauge cluster without the engine, batt and belt lights blinking.
@@JackofAllMasterofNone Oh wait, maybe that was not blinking but rather an aliasing effect from the camera and the lights maybe blinking at a high frequency because of some electronics? But I don't know why those lights would be on a high frequency ac circuit. They certainly don't blink like that for me when I'm in ACC or ON
For instance at 20:07,
It's because they are LEDs. That is just an illusion created by the camera. They are just steady when viewed with your eyes.
ok, 3 month check-in do you still reccomend this unit?
Absolutely
@Jack of All Master of None alright, time to do research. I have the pioneer dmh-1500NEX so wondering if I may need as many converters as you did. you happen to have a link for the single din bezel?

Description
I have a 2018 promaster and the radio isn’t detecting my camera. Any advice or is there a setting to go to?
Did you use the parts in the video? Does the radio switch to the backup cam screen and just not display or does it not even switch while in reverse?
@@JackofAllMasterofNone
Just followed your instructions to a T on my 2018 Promaster 2500 and I have the same issue - my camera is not detected when shifting into reverse. Do you know the name of the Android app that is supposed to be launched when shifting into R? Any backup camera specific settings I should look at? 🙏
I have a 2019 and followed his instructions, the backup camera doesn't work. The screen doesn't change. anyone figure out the problem?
The can box interface has a backup camera trigger wire coming out of it. You have to connect that wire to the trigger wire on the Joying unit. Then double check that the backup camera trigger is turned on in the Joying factory settings.
@@kemprandy Try this and see if it helps th-cam.com/video/9TIHzWq-fig/w-d-xo.html
