If this the OEM SatNav unit then that's the Aux connector.

Btw, why are you looking for the reverse camera wiring behind there? There is none. :scratchhead:

yeah that's the aux audio input connector, if ur thinkin of usin it i'd strongly say DON'T!!

i did the stupid mistake of fixing an oem aux cable to it. it worked but overall user experience was too messy.

eventually replaced the cd changer with an intravee which i fully recommend!
