I know this question has been asked before, but reading through all the posts I can find I can't find an answer.

I have a 2010 Aurion ZR6 Sportivo. I have purchased an aftermarket GPS/DVD etc touchscreen head unit that was supposed to be plug and play. I hooked it up and started to check everything worked, but immediately found the reverse camera doesn't. I have put the original head unit back in until I am sure how the reverse camera is connected.

The OEM head unit has three input sockets, one being 20 pin where the camera wires are (according to other posts here). Below are pictures I have copied from other posts that show the connection.

The back of the head unit has a yellow lead with a female RCA, labelled "Back Sight In", and an orange lead labelled "Rear View Camera". I am assuming the four leads in the original socket need to be somehow attached to these leads, but as to where each lead goes I have no idea.

Can anybody help?

Good luck LOL took me awhile to get it right! All I can say you need to buy a RCA connector for video plug on the head unit then find the two wires for the camera hook it up

First of all, thanks Shadow_ for the reply.

After weeks of research I came up with three options:-

1) Hook up reverse camera that came free with the new head unit. This was a no go as it didn't fit in the existing hole, and would have had to have been mounted separately. I don't want to have two cameras (one that works, the other not) on the back of my car.

2) Found a reverse camera that is NTSC/PAL and made to fit my Aurion on Ebay. Got that through, but it is not a secure fit in the existing hole, and I don't want to have to keep putting it back in when it falls out. So that was a waste of $25.00!!

3) Try rewiring factory camera and hope that head unit is NTSC. Bought a 12V - 6V reducer off ebay ($5.00) to solve the problem of the voltage. However, the plug and wires that go to the head unit are different to the one I have pictured above. So I guessed the wiring and hooked it up. And guess what??? NOTHING, plus lost my bluetooth! Tried several different ways, but to no avail.

Decided to put the original Toyota head unit back in. Everything works now. Had only got the new head unit so I could control my iphone ipod from the head unit with the artists / tracks displayed. Will just have to go back to using the phone itself to choose tracks, and use my plug in GPS if I need to use one.

The new head unit was advertised as being plug and play. I consider it to be a $500.00 waste of money.

PS The original unit has better sound quality than the new one.

Hi Neil,

I have connected my factory reverse camera (6Volts) to Sony http://www.sony.com.au/product/xav-701bt. Also I successfully connected steering wheel control (purchased in AutoPro) and installed new fascia (also from AutoPro) to match the double din slot. My car is Prodigy 2010 with factory Toyota reverse enabled unit. If you are still planning to install your unit I can try to help you.

Cheers

      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.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
