i swapped out the head unit today, and all went well (used the connects2 kits + stalk adaptor + camera connection kit).
everything works except the physical camera button on the dash - the one to turn it on manually at low speed.
i think that's because the headunit isn't sending the "alive" signal to it unless it's physically in reverse.
only thing i noticed is that i have 2 plugs left unused - see photo.
anyone know what these are?
i suspect one is for the USB AUX port and the other for the microphones next to the interior light?
if so, are there convertors for these?

I don’t think I’ve come across any.
Most new headunits have front mounted USB ports nowadays I thought.

Shows how out of touch I am then
I only just upgraded from a 6CD changer to the Connect unit you are removing...
May be worth getting a long usb extension cable and running it to the armrest or glovebox.

You can remove the existing usb/aux port easily and pop the usb extension lead through the gap from the new stereo instead.
