Guys

I'm going to install the AVC-6901 incar GPS/DVD unit from Auspacks and had gotten details from Rob about cameras.

Have pretty much read all of the excellent stuff on these forums around reverse cameras, but still have one question.

Rob from Auspacks stated that most Camry/Aurion owners installed the "Angle Mounted Camera" as seen at :

http://members.optusnet.com.au/auspacks/reversingCamera.html

but this unit looks different from most of the photos of the bullet-style ones I've seen in the forums.

The other unit (Bumper Camera) doesn't look to have a mounting bracket so don't know if this one can be made to fit in the hole above the number plate.

What camera do people actually use???

Any assistance appreciated.

Cheers

Michael

HI Micheal,

AUspack never gave me a choice and i was supplied with the bumper camera (round one) I have the ZR6 so there was already a hole there but the hole is a little smaller than required. Anyway its a tight enough fit (and the hard plasitc surround can be shaped a little) that you don't have need a bracket however i personally couldn't get the camera angle exactly right... it does work and its great but its not perfect.

hope this helps a little,

Nate

Thanks for the info. From what you are saying I gather that it is tight enough to sit in the location? Did you need to drill/file anything? And I guess it needs to be sealed to stop water entry?

How bad is the camera angle?

This weekend, I'll open up the boot and have a look to get a better idea.

Cheers

Michael

There was a bit of filing and swearing involved and the angle is close enough to perfect that i haven't hit anything yet.... Did'nt use a sealant (should have) but so far no water has made it through..

Guys

I've got my 6901 unit installed and am in the process of doing the camera (got the barrel one).

I know others have said they got it installed OK in the hole above the number plate, but for the life of me I cannot seem to work out how to do this and get the angle right (ends up pointing mostly down at the ground/bumper).

Also how do you get it to actually mount as there is no mounting hardware.

I'd appreciate any advice and even some close up photos would be great.

DJKOR/Nate...I know you guys have this same one at least. Are you able to help?

Cheers

If you play around with the camera, you'll find that it has a threaded section on the back and some angled adapters. You simply push it through a pre-drilled hold and tighten it up.

This is where a search comes in handy:

Infra red reverse camera

Bear in mind my installation involved more hacking at the plastic due to my large numberplate.

Daryl...thanks. Yeah was only looking at mounting on the plastic trim originally. Will have to remove that and have more of a look.

For some reason my searches did not come across your article with pics. Thanks, that helps heaps.

Just a quick question. For anyone who as installed reversing camera from AUSPACK, which one (round camera or angle mountable one) and which position did you install?

The hole above number plate seems to only be able to install the round bullet shaped camera.

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
