No way to connect the factory camera as there is no connector such as cinch. AFAIK the signal is sent via CAN bus.
There is a Vaistech adapter cable available and you can connect the cinch cable of an Aftermarket camera to the iVIC.
See main features at http://www.vaistech.com/dev/iVIC-droid.php :
Component Analog Audio/Video input (optional)
Composite Analog Audio/Video input (optional)
See also the detailed manuals
http://www.vaistech.com/manuals/iVIC...s%20Manual.pdf
Page 4 displays the cable and it includes a camera power supply.
Such a solution requires to select the source manually because it is not connected to the rear pos of your shift ****.

I don't know but I'm very sure they have a solution one day if a lot of LS are w/o self parking. No cam is a no go as the screen is black in R.

Just ordered iVIC for 2007 LS460L with Executive package. Wondering if i would be able to take advantage of the rear entertainment system (Would I be able to control screen in the rear as I would upfront screen). Also I have RCA input in the rear center console, would I be able to utilize that as I can right now?.
In short has anyone installed iVIC in a lexus 5th Generation with ML entertainment package and if so, are there any restriction on how the system works after the iVIC install.

Rear RCA input is separate and can be selected with the reomote control as without iVIC. Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE) is a separate system and total independent from an additional iVIC.
You loose absolutely no audio or video functions of your Lexus and I'm very sure that you will ask yourself why you didn't install the iVIC earlier. It is simply a must-have for all Lexus as of 5th navi generation! And the Vaistech MML is a must-have for all 4th gen Lexus navi such as LS430, SC430.
Vaistech is absolutely right when they say: " iVIC Android phone integration is our top-of-the-line digital audio and video product engineered for complete mirror and control of all apps and features of your Android device right on the factory navigation screen.
iVIC incorporates pure, crystal-clear sound and high-resolution HD video output to deliver incomparable sharpness and clarity."

My iVIC is below the armrest in the center console. I bought some parts and modified them, see attachments. Because you cannot bend the cables a 90 degree HDMI adapter is needed. The deleyCON is a perfect choice. My MHL adapter is now build-in in the Galaxy holder. This is a USB power supply (only) usually made for office tables. I exchanged the stock cable by the MHL adapter. A real custom solution but needed as I have the TV tuner in the box as well.
Please note, that iVIC needs cooling. I built an aluminium plate an put it above the iVIC. The remaining box is large enough. And the good news: I added two USB connectors, one for audio from iVIC USB and one for the TV tuner to play videos from USB. Great stuff! A real name: in Vehicle Infotainment Center (iVIC)!

yes you will loose the bck up camera if you have no self park feature, but for what you are going to gain, it is well worth it. i lost my cam but you can always hardwire the factory camera into the ivic unit, you will have to order the camera input harness and manually switch into camera mode.

The MHL adapter has the same function: Outputting a HDMI signal. iVIC supports Galaxi Note II
Last but not least the iVIC can charge this smart dock (with integrated MHL adapter) and the Note II.
However, please check the height of the docking station plus smartphone. Station and iVIC needs to be in juxtaposition with each other otherwise you cannot close the compartment. Therefore my phone is in horizontal position. Fortunately this makes sure the orientation is exactly what is needed on the LS nav screen. It can be locked, of course.
