Will this work with a backup camera that is not from Magellan?

I am have not idea if this will work with a backup camera. I can say I am very disappointed in this unit, the bluetooth is does not work half the time, the recalulation of directions is slow, sometime is takes 5 min or more to sync up when you turn it on. I have an older magellan and I think it is a better product than these new models they are putting out with a lot of bells and whistles that don't work reliably.

I would not start out with mixed electronics, but if you've already started, I would suggest you contact both manufacturer customer service departments and proceed only with total agreement. Surprisingly,I have found a wealth of technical info on Utube. Go to Utube and search installation Magellan backup camera.

Hi Daniel,I was planning on using the stock GM XM antenna also but found it was integrated into the stock wiring harness. I suppose if you dis-assemble the antenna and can trace the wire coming into the dash the answer would be yes. I was able to reuse the motion sensor lead for the GPS positioning as it was a separate wire. I didn't have an existing backup camera and suspect it will be integrated as well...you might be able to splice the lead into the supplied RCA cable connector....Good Luck!Tom

If your Magelan GPS has a video input and the ability to view video from a video source then it should work fine. You will have to check your Magelan manual for further information. I purchased a small video screen that also acts as a rear view mirror. It attaches directly to your existing mirror.

First, I am not sure. I don't know the video signal format of the cameras that come with the kit, nor the power level (distance you can run them). However, I do know that the connectors are the common BNC type. I would guess that any camera with a BNC would work. Don't forget you will need an external power source for your cameras. I am sure I didn't help that much but I tried....

There is the regular USB port, but there is also a "AV/IN" PORT. Not sure if that port is for video or not. Your best bet is to go to "Magellan.COM" and talk to tech support. I hope this help.

I returned my Magellan, was totally unhappy with it as we tried to use it. I hope you have better luck with yours. You might contact the magellan site for an answer to your question.

I'm not sure. You must have a external shuttle release connection point on the left side of your camera for the shuttle cord running from it to the transmitter. If you have that, it should work.

Yes will work perfectly. But in manual mode on camera or off camera in slave only.

does not come with backup camera. Would not buy again. GPS goes to north up when greater than .8 of a mile, instead of direction of travel up. It is capable of adding camera to unit.

Yes, it can but you need the correct RCA to 3.5mm adapter. Here is a website that explains it all: http://forums.gpsreview.net/viewtopic.php?t=21775Or search "roadmate 1700 backup camera"

I don't know if it will work with an apple, but if you go to the Magellan webpage it might tell you. If not, the website has a help area where you can either call them or ask a question on line. By the way, I am a professional archaeologist and I use mine with my work and I am quite happy with it.

The manual says yes. I did not install the backup cam, b/c of extra work involved.

I have the same unit, but Backup camera will not work. There is no selection available in the screen for backup camera.

Hi RonI added the backup camera. It connects wirelessly to the GPS. It was the main reason we bought this GPS. We have Garmin, Magellan and Tomtom and if you just want a GPS then the Garman is the best.

Yes, but I emphatically DO NOT RECOMMEND this GPS. The maps are not accurate and up to date. Steer clear of Magellan.

No there appears to be little interest by Magellan to resolve issues. We returned our unit after failed attempts to get issues resolved. I don't recommend it.
