I'm installing a new head unit in 2015 500X 1.4L, but the harness doesn't have input for factory fitted reverse camera.

Using a voltmeter on the reverse camera plug, I found the grey & green are activated when in reverse (0 Volts when in neutral):
grey measures 1.8V
green is 1.6V
red is 12V
both black wires are ground
blue shows 9 V with key turned to ACC and -12V when the key is out

Does anyone know which wire is the signal and which is the return, when compared to RCA plug?

Looking bat the wiring I doubt any of them are for the camera's signal as they aren't shielded in anyway
 
Thanks @s130: what does this mean in the text under the picture "rear view camera communicates with BCM via LIN2"
I'm guessing LIN2 means Line 2 and BCM means Body Control Module
I don't think it's the reverse signal as the voltages don't go up when reverse is engaged

@chris3234, the continuity setting on voltmeter shows they are camera signal wires:
