Today I salvaged the RVC and the rear view mirror/screen out of a 2011-2013 Terrain. The mirror is a Gentex 657 which I've easily found the pinout for that. The camera though is proving a bit more difficult. So teh tag on the cable has the following series of numbers:
20903513
000171710
C0084008
RJ841A160000
So far I've only found info for the 290xxxx number and that wasn't much at all. Seems GM used at least two dozen different wire color combos between the SUVs, trucks and cars with a super similar rear view arrangement. Anyway I've got a grey 6 pin connector with the following colors: red, black, white, pink, light blue and light green (those last two are so close that it's super hard to tell them apart)
So red and black are obvious.. the white *should* be the video pair shielding. Pink might be the Reverse signal turn on. And I'm assuming teh blue/green combo is for teh composite video feed but I'm just not sure. I've got it all wired up on my test bench to a power supply, I heard a very slight but audible crackle of electricity when I made contact to positive with teh pink wire so now I'm worried I damaged something.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Highly unlikely they have RGB (Component Video) on that camera.

You might be right on the composite thing, I made that remark because yellow RCA is (typically) composite IMO. All these people wondering how they can attach an RCA plug to the RV mirror and being told to just cut it off and split the wires. An oem camera might not be composite so yeah I could be wrong.
Also I already found that link, those are not the wire colors I'm dealing with.

Composite = Yellow. Component = RGB
They are all composite. At least I have not yet encountered one that was not.
