No it doesn't make a difference because the wires in the passenger kick panel run to the boot for the reverse lights. If you read though the procedures and hints that have been said, you will see that I have recommended to connect the camera power to the reverse light (legend_of_lazz even said this in the first post here) due to the fact that it is less than a metre away, and that to connect the reverse trigger to the wire in the passenger footwell because it would be pointless to run a wire from the head unit all the way to the boot just for the reverse trigger. OK.... now I understand.... thanks for your help (a) camera power cables (red & black) tapped into the reverse light (B) head unit trigger to +12V red cable in passenger kick plate (indicated in the second photo of your previous post)

I can't directly comment with respect to the new 'updated Auspack' head unit. All I can say is that mine has a reverse trigger on it so when you put the car into reverse, the head unit will automatically switch to the revers camera mode. I would assume the new head unit is the same, but from previous posts, I have heard conflicting answers. As for where to tap into the +12v source, the passenger side kick panel is the best spot. There is a wire there, I have indicated it before but others have had mixed results, that provides power to the reverse lights so therefore it will be +12v when the car is in reverse. This is what I used to trigger the head unit to go into reverse mode. But as I said, I can't confirm the operation of the new head unit. Ok, thanks to both Adam and Daryl for the replies.... Just seems a bit odd that the reverse camera mode does not come out automatically when reverse gear is selected .. unless somewhere in the menu / settings of the new 'auspack', there is a provision to enable / disable (default) this automated function. There isn't another 'trigger' cable that we need to connect from car's +12V to head unit, right? Back on the camera power wiring issue, does this means that it really makes no difference if owners choose to power the reverse camera power either by tapping into the red & black wire at the reverse light itself or to the red & black wire at the hardness in the passenger side kick panel? If this is the case, any reason why one would choose to run the camera power cables all the way to the front passenger kick panel as oppose to the rear reverse light which is a lot closer? Hope everyone has a great week ahead... :)

Cool...Great write up.... I am thinking of getting this installed soon. Anyway, I have a question regarding the camera installation, specifically on this unit >>> HD LCD CAR DVD GPS 2007/08/09 TOYOTA AURION CAMRY DVB-T from ebay seller " autome305 ". I have read through quite a number of post and different Aurion owners seems to wire the video feed up differently; which I assume depending on the Aurion models / camera wiring / head unit build itself. (i.e some wired up to the socket found near passenger kick plate, some wired directly to rear of the head unit, some simply plugged in). As for the power supply to camera, I can only assume most owners would power the camera by tapping into the reverse light on the boot lid itself. I am wondering whether the camera on this unit (conveniently plugged in directly to the rear of the headunit) be set such that it comes on automatically when the car is put in reverse, rather than having to manually turning it on as required? Can this unit be wired such that it will come on automatically? Thanks in advance for further clarification.
