This video was very helpful for giving me the confidence that I could do the job so thanks for that! However, I did find the wiring portion quite confusing and it turns out that if you have the right harness and camera combination you can get power directly from the head unit as you are supposed to. Thanks again.
I appreciate this and part 1 . Mom in law has a 2012 Prius V and looking at new cars to get clearer camera with wider field of view... $40 and some time will be just as good at her age to r/r the existing. Subbed !
I didn't watch the whole video. The main thing I am inspired by it that you have a Prius 2 and not a 4 and put in a backup camera. I buy used cars. Your project opens up my search for a used Prius 2 and just install a backup camera rather than waisting time and money looking for a used Prius 4.Thanks in advance. My apologies in advance for not watching the entire install process. Just knowing you have instructional videos is enough for me to continue my frugal search for a good deal and customize it with a DIY backup camera.
Hey doesn't bother me you didn't watch the whole thing just so you know under $35 and your time you can install the camera. PS subscribers mean more than total watch time
Great information video. Do you have problem where if you start the vehicle and wait until the Toyota logo screen pass and audio start playing (I.E warm up vehicle in the cold winter) and then reverse the camera does not work? But if you start the vehicle and reverse right away the camera will work. Once it work, it work all the time until the vehicle is shut off.
We have 2013 Prius II with 57031 display. Looks the same as your car. Looks like the 57031 display can display full colors; our 57031 does display a few colors, but was not certain if it was one of those displays that was nearly monochromatic- apparently not.
Nice and complete informative video thanks dear , I have one question regarding Japanese language convert in to English because I have one Japanese prius 2013 model , multimedia is in Japanese language but we can't understand this, how I play this one, please if you help me for that I shall be very thankful to you Thanks & regards
i have a 2010 prius base model. no wiper and no camera. i found a hatch in the junkyard with wiper, cameral and good window heaters. i do not have the head unit with the screen. if i get one, is it pretty much plug and play?
I had heated seats installed a couple years earlier so I piggyback the power from there. If not available to you go back to fuse panel and check for power with ignition on only
Hi, from where i can get that connector which you plug in on your head unit to add reverse camera. I mean its like a bridge connector with additional reverse camera wire..

I see the link for the camera from Amazon and the wiring harness from eBay, but do you have a link for the wires you run from front to back of car? Also, is it necessary to include a piggyback fuse? If so, could you link to one from Amazon? Thanks!
Hi Keith, I need your help, where you have connected red wire which is together with RCA connector at front unit? I cannot find any wires near the lighter panel. Am bit confused, I have Prius II 2012.
Hi I have a question I purchased these and installed them however if I put it in reverse after car run it won’t work but if I run the car and put it immediately in reverse it will work. What did I do wrong here please help thank you
I'm not a hundred percent sure. My unit if I went to reverse immediately occasionally it would not show an image. I always thought that I didn't give you enough time to power up. So if I follow this thought maybe your power supply is not functioning at full power
Two reasons the reverse lights don't have enough power and the display need signal from the camera at start up of the car to work correctly and consistently
You can use a wireless but you still got to power the unit through the trunk somehow witch or more likely run off the battery system which will possibly drain the battery
Hi thanks for the video,I was wondering why not source the power from the reverse lights. That way the camera has power when you put the car I reverse.
@@peyman926 if my memory serves me correct. The unit automatically picked up when it was in reverse. But I did have to power the camera from an accessory
@@KzCreations I have a power but the trigger not connect to radio so i confused. There is no back wire or reverse wire behind factory radio and I couldn’t find it yet.
@@KzCreations I got both parts. I'm not clear with wiring. Can you help? Starting from backup camera 1) There is +/red -/black I think goes to reverse light wiring. 2) in the middle power cable there is +/red pig tail. Where does this red cable connect to? 3) at the end of power cable close to radio there is another +/red pig tail (trigger cable). Where does this red cable connect to? Many thanks for previous replies.
The red wire pigtail you're talking about needs to be wired to an accessory near the radio that turns on with the ignition. Black wires negative Instagram that be grounded to the lid back on the trunk the red wire connects to the red pig tail which is supplying power from the front not the tail lights

I don't know about the display number but I do know unit is in color. If you get a camera that's not a color it'll come up mono chromatic
or if your camera is failing it show up monochromatic

Does the camera stay off until the car is in reverse? If not, how is it activated on?
