Re: Back up Camrea installation to the NAV unt (with pictures)
I have received back a letter from Toyota about the NON Hybrid GPS unit that was installed. They are basically saying it is the dealers responsibility. So I have forwarded the letter to my dealer to see if they will replace it with the Hybrid GPS, as I was led to believe that is what I was buying. It would be good if everyone in Canada that bought one of these units to write to Toyota. Check this thread it shows the different models. http://www.tundrasolutions.com/forum...-navigation-2/

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

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?

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.

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.
