I believe I will do that. Please let me know what your dealer's response is, as well. Thanks. (sorry for the off-topic)

 

Has anyone installed a back up cam on an 2008 TCH, I just want to make sure they have not changed it up.

Also do you have more pictures on the initial wiring of the eclipse wire to pc audio connector?

Thanks

 

I installed a camera in my 2008. The wiring has not changed from 2007. I did not take any pictures. sorry.

Hi Everyone,

I'm new here, I've been reading this forum for a while...

finally took the plunge and bought a BEC 105 off of ebay and had the guys in circuit city install it. For some reason... they couldn't get it to work. When I put it in reverse, it shows the check surrounding area for safety, but shows a flickering grey screen.
They said that they actually took apart the cable harness, so it's not a matter of the pins not being connected. Is there anything else anyone here can think of?

Thanks

 

i was successful at installing the Kenwood CCD-2000 Rear View Camera in my 2007 TCH. if anyone is interested in this alternative, i might be able to assist.

 

OK, I read through all 14 pages and it doesnt seem anyone succesfully installed a keyhole camera, I would much rather use this method. Any input? I am just wondering how hard it is to get the lock assembly out, the rest should be pretty simple.

Edit: Here is the camera I am thinking of...

What do you guys think?

 

I installed the BEC 106 camera on my 2008 TCH and it works great.

 

Hi all,
For those who don't have a Nav unit in your hybrid, consider the Nextar I4-BC GPS, it includes a wireless backup camera that mounts in the license plate bolts. It's currently around $285, not a bad deal if you don't want to pry your dash open. The thing with wireless is video quality may get choppy when there is a lot of interferences (2.4ghz band), but i don't imagine having much of that in the parking lot, or your garage for that matter, and if the distance b/w the nav and the camera is too far, but then again our hybrid is not a limo so it should be useful 99% of the time.

So... Today I cracked open the whole NAV unit, and checked every single connection. Some of them looked funny so I redid them. At first i thought it would have been a ground wire, but I tested each cable individually and figured out that every single cable was pushed down all the way. So could this indicate a faulty camera? I'm using the BEC 105- bought from ebay.

 

I have an 05 prius and I am thinking that there is no reason that this camera setup would not work in the prius. When I have been in the dig. screens it says camera but of course its greyed out. If anyone has a thought about this let me know! thanks.
