I got it to work! The pins go down alot further than I originally thought but the screen is in black and white, they flicker colour when I move the video+ pin but when they fully focus it's in black and white. Do you have any suggestions of how to fix this?

I've tried moving around the colour and negative pins for hours but it's just not doing anything.

 

only 2 suggestions to check on:
#1 - make sure it is a 6v camera and a 6v power being fed to it. I think someone with a 12v camera had reported a problem similar to this in the past
#2 - make sure the wires are soldered to the pins so the connection is failsafe

 

I know this is going to sound crazy and illogical to most of those that read this, but I was having the black/white/blurry problem with mine as well. I accidentally broke the part of the connector that I was trying to slide the pins into. The plastic around the corner that houses (or use to house) the slots for the four pins is no longer there. It worked out to my advantage. I was able to plug the connector into the back of the navigation first, and then use a small screwdriver to push the pins all the way in until I felt them clip into place on the back of the navigation. I hope this helps... if you do break it on purpose, just be very careful. I got lucky. I used the reverse light as my power source as opposed to using the navigation.

We just bought a 2013 camry le hybrid, I like to install a back up camrea on it.

is it same as the xle which have NAV unt?

 

Toyota offers a back-up camera as a dealer installed accessory for $319.00 according to their website, so I'm sure that there is a way to add one on yourself. Because the generation 7 Camry just came out last year, there isn't much information in regards to anyone adding an aftermarket back-up camera to a 2012 or newer Camry. Hope this helps.

Thank you Mario. I will wait a little while. I don't know if I do that myself will void the warranty or not.

 

Thanks Mario unfortunately listing has been changed. Can you tell us what camera it was so that I can search it and buy. $10 or so is good

 

Greetings everyone,

2008 TCH Owner in the Dominican Republic here, I ordered a $20 USD license plate light hole mounted camera, It is 12V so I will be powering from reverse lights, I just want to make sure I get the wiring right.

From what Ive gathered from this entire thread, considering that I am powering the camera from the reverse lights, the two remaining cables that I must connect should be wired as normal where the video wires go, and then jump pins 23 and 21 (Video- and ground) to avoid getting the bad image problem.


Am I correct?

 

Good Evening!

Installed it this morning, and everything went well! I didnt need to jump the aforementioned pins, it worked flawlessly right off the bat.

Thank you so much jagbagri! I wouldntve done anything at all if it wasnt for this thread!

 

. Thanks for Describing installation of reverse camera in 07 Camry. I am trying to do same. What I don't get is exactly how you make the 2 video wires fit properly into the R 10 plug. Can someone be very specific on this?
