AX-ADDCAM Harnesses
For SEMA 2018, Axxess is adding three new plug-n-play harnesses for select Chrysler/Dodge, Fiat and Mazda applications. The universal AX-ADDCAM camera switching interface (sold separately), is used to integrate multiple cameras to the factory radio while still retaining the factory camera. The plug-n-play harnessing saves installers valuable time during the installation process and is designed for select vehicle applications, used with the AX-ADDCAM interface.
Harnesses:
● AX-ADDCAM-CH3
Chrysler/Dodge 2011-Up*
● AX-ADDCAM-CH6
Fiat 2015-Up*
● AX-ADDCAM-MAZ1

AX-Series Interfaces for Toyota and Hyundai/Kia
Three new AX-Series interfaces are debuting for select Toyota and Hyundai/Kia models. The recently improved AX-Series with patented Auto-Detect technology provides an easy to install solution for radio replacement and integration. A new reset button between the two Micro-Fit™ connectors allows for a much easier way to reset the interface if required. All of the vehicle-specific interfaces provide accessory power (12-volt 10-amp), retains R.A.P. (Retained Accessory Power) and retains audio controls on the steering wheel. The interface also provides NAV outputs (parking brake, reverse and speed sense) and all harnessing is cloth taped for a clean installation.
