Since I still have the electrical diagrams in HyundaiTechInfo for another week or so, I decided to look into the differences between the 2013 radio and the 2014 radio. Starting in 2014, the elantra with the tech package (bluetooth) had a backup camera. Well, that radio has an extra connector, as you can see in the screenshot below.
If you buy a 2014+ radio (no nav) with bluetooth (non-bluetooth models don't have this third connector), you will have the function for a backup camera. I checked the wiring diagrams between 2013 and 2014, and A and B connectors are almost the same. There was a MTS +/- wires in the 2014, along with a provision for auto-light, which wasn't available in the US 2011-2013 models. The pin for fuse from module 3 (ignition switch) wasn't in the 2014 model, which was a bit weird. It is just blank.
My car doesn't have bluetooth but i'll use this opportunity to add it in. I'm getting a regular car microphone with a 3.5mm jack and wiring it into the radio. It should be fairly straight forward and i'll be getting backup camera and bluetooth with this update. I'll be putting the microphone right behind the steering wheel and some noted that this works better than the microphone in the roof trim.
I haven't tried it yet, but you should be able to put in a 2014+ radio into a 2011-2013 car. Remember that the 2011 and 2012 have a different trim around the radio so you will need this trim as well if you are to put in a 2013+ radio into a 2011 or 2012. The radio trim includes the clock and passenger airbag light. 2013 and 2014+ radios have the same shape but different from 2011 and 2012.
The next step is the camera. You can get any camera (either 2011-2013 or 2014+ camera). It should fit in the empty slot in the trunk like the navigation models. The 2011-2013 has a different connector (4pin) than the 2014+ (6pin), and since you're wiring it up yourself, you can use either camera. The connector that goes into this camera is hard to find and I'm working on getting it, but i may end up just popping out the pins and putting it into another connector. Note that it needs to be waterproof.
The last piece of the puzzle is the backup wire. On a 2013, it is pin 35 on EM11. I haven't taken a look but you will need to splice into that wire and get the reverse signal from it.
The next step would be to run the wires all the way to the back of the car. and into the trunk.
I'll be doing this mod in the next month. So far, I ordered the camera, camera connector, and the connector for the radio. Once I installed the camera into the trunk and get it all wired, I'll be ordering the radio and swapping that out. I'll miss the preset buttons right on the radio though, but the backup camera will be cool.
