Metra Electronics AXBUCH-GM2

When upgrading the factory radio in a modern General Motors vehicle, retaining the OEM backup camera is essential for safety and convenience. The Axxess AXBUCH-GM2 Backup Camera Retention Harness is engineered to allow installers to keep the factory-installed reverse camera when replacing the original factory radio with an aftermarket head unit. Designed and manufactured by Metra/Axxess, this plug-and-play interface harness eliminates the need for custom cutting, splicing, or running messy new video cables from the tailgate to the dash.

By tapping directly into the existing vehicle wiring harness behind the dash, the AXBUCH-GM2 converts the proprietary factory camera feed into a standard composite video signal, routing it cleanly into the video input of your new aftermarket stereo system.
