hi all

got a head unit and all installed. Got a reversing camera from ebay and it is supposed to fit the 08 camry by removing the license plate light but its way too small and doesnt fit, this one http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Car-Rear-View-Reverse-Parking-Camera-TOYOTA-CAMRY-08-/160794156927?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2570141f7f#ht_7192wt_857

What i want to know is is there a camera that will fit in the license plate light slot or do i have to cut into the plastic near it?

any help is appreciated

Just for you, I took my head unit out and took some measurements. When you look at the car side of the wiring harness you will see three connectors. The following is in reference to it when you are looking into the socket of the plug itself. Using the colours you can reference them. For the stereo, you will only need connectors 1 and 2. If you want to integrate the steering wheel buttons through the use of an external controller, then connector 3 has been included for reference. Only the wires present have been included: Connector 1: 1 - Light Green - Speaker: Front Right Positive (+) 2 - Pink - Speaker: Front Left Positive (+) 3 - Grey - +12v ACC 4 - Blue/Yellow - +12v Constant 5 - Blue - Speaker: Front Right Negative (-) 6 - Purple - Speaker: Front Left Negative (-) 7 - Brown - Ground 8 - Orange - Antenna Power (+12v to power antenna amplifier) 10 - Dark Green - Illumination (+12v when tail lights on) Connector 2: 1 - Red - Speaker: Rear Right Positive (+) 2 - Black - Speaker Rear Left Positive (+) 3 - White - Speaker: Rear Right Negative (-) 6 - Yellow - Speaker Rear Left Negative (-) Connector 3: 3 - Purple - Speed signal (used for ASL in stock unit) 6 - Pink - Steering control ground 7 - Orange - Steering control signal (for SEEK and VOL) 8 - Yellow - Steering control signal (for MODE) Don't be fooled by connector 2. It may have thicker gauge wire and have Red, Black, and Yellow wires which are commonly used to power a head unit, but these are speaker connections only. I hope that helps for now, and good luck. Edit: This thread has been added to the FAQ's now.

Reviving an old post as it got good info and i need some help

I have a Chinese gps from ebay seller autome305, I have installed it and all is good except a few wires!

I know that i have to ground the parking wire - no problem ok

I will be installing a reversing camera later next week and will be tapping into the reversing lights for power, as im doing this what is the reversing wire for at the back of the GPS?

Also there is a ILL-PWM wire, I have installed a different gps in my Mitsubishi ouitlander and the ILL-PWM wire was for Illumination. IT was to be connected to as when the car lights were on the gps screen would dim, but i dont know where to connect it

any help is appreciated
