METRA BACKUPCAM1 Backup Camera Harness 2006-Up GM GMLAN29

Backup Camera Harness for GM Vehicles

The METRA BACKUPCAM1 harness retains the factory backup camera so its video feed appears on an aftermarket radio. It is built for GM vehicles produced from 2006 onward that use the GMLAN29 data protocol. Installers connect the harness between the vehicle wiring and the new head unit to preserve the original camera function. This part is intended for professional installers and DIY owners upgrading the stereo in compatible GM models.

Who This Suits and Who Should Look Elsewhere

The harness suits anyone replacing the factory radio in a GMLAN29-equipped GM vehicle while keeping the OEM backup camera active. It is not for vehicles that lack a factory-installed backup camera or that use a different data protocol. Buyers without an existing OEM camera gain no video input from this adapter. Installers working on pre-2006 GM models or non-GM brands must select a different interface.

GMLAN29 Protocol Compatibility Decides Fit

The single specification that determines whether this part fits is the GMLAN29 vehicle communication protocol used in 2006 and newer GM vehicles. If the target vehicle operates on this protocol and has an OEM backup camera, the harness will pass the camera signal to the aftermarket radio. If the vehicle uses a different protocol or was built before 2006, the adapter will not function. Always verify the vehicle protocol before purchase.
