  • Reverse camera integration with existing vehicle wiring.

    Hi Pradopointers,

    I have been asked about the existing vehicle wiring for the reverse camera in Prado's, so I thought I'd put it here with photos.
    My car is a 2008 model GXL, but I believe that the wiring exists for all 120 series Prado's

    *WARNING* Lots of photos, so download could be slow!!

    Wiring in the front connector and what I used it for.

    1.Black (-ground camera)
    2.White (camera video shield wire)
    3.Red (+12 Volt camera - obtained from reverse wire in front left hand kick panel Red wire with Black trace)
    4.Yellow (camera video centre wire)



    Wiring in the rear connector and what I used it for.

    1.Black (-ground camera)
    2.White (camera video shield wire)
    3.White with Black dot (+12 Volt camera) you may have to slice open black insulation covering all 4 wires to find the dot.
    4.Brown (camera video centre wire)

    I have shown in these pictures what you need to do in the tailgate end to get it all working and I will add pictures of the front install when I install my bosses unit (I didn't photograph mine)

        Bit out of sync, but this is how to do the outside camera part.

              G'day 4tshorty,

              Excellent instructions, well done. What Camera and Screen did you go for?
              I've been looking for a good value for money rear camera system.

                Re: Reverse camera integration with existing vehicle wiring.

                Hi Stewy,

                I actually bought a Digi Options TP09XL in dash DVD/CD and Satnav for our car and it has the reverse camera input inbuilt.
                This unit is quite popular here on Pradopoint now, because of the price and features.
                If you wanted to run just a screen, pretty much any unit would adapt to the above instructions, but you would have to work out where to put the screen, which is why we went the way we did.

                Cheers, Mat

                  Re: Reverse camera integration with existing vehicle wiring.

                  nice write up. will this work on a original navigation screen? i`ve bought a video interface from gsmserver to use with a rear camera, but it will not fit my car.
                  http://www.gsmserver.com/shop/car/gvif_ ... gf08tw.php

                  is there any way i can connect my already installed rear camera into existing wiring behind the original navigation unit?

                    Re: Reverse camera integration with existing vehicle wiring.

                    Hi Rbuljo,

                    From what I've seen and read online before, you could use the wiring behind the stereo unit into the factory Toyota SATNAV unit, as long as you found out what each wire does at the SATNAV end connector and wire it to the correct wires at the camera end.
                    I would imagine that, like most setups, two wires would be the camera power and the other two would be the camera video, but check with a local Toyota dealer as they should be able to tell what each one does at the SATNAV unit.
                    I will try and find out myself, as I have a mate at a local Toyota dealer, and let you know what Info I can dig up.

                    Cheers, Mat

                      ah, thank you shorty. will try to contact my toyota dealer, but they are hopeless here. they can only change oil and adjust headlights it seems! but will try, let me know if you find out anything. would be great to get the rear camera up and working without have to buy another video interface.

                        Re: Reverse camera integration with existing vehicle wiring.

                        Hi Mat

                        Thanks for going to the effort of posting this write up. I am trying to install a reversing camera to an after market in dash GPS without going to the hassle of routing wires from the dash to tail gate. If there are existing connections through I would rather use them!

                        A couple of questions:

                        1. In the text you mention the reverse wire is located in the LHS kick panel but the photo refers to the RHS. Which is correct or is there one on both sides?

                        2. You appear to be using the yellow wire in the front connector for video, which some how must be connected to a brown wire in the tail gate to provide a continuos connection for video from back to front. Is this correct. It does seem a bit odd that the wire starts asa brwon wire in teh back and then is a yellow wire in the front (or am I missing something?)

                        Thanks in advance

                        Tim

                          Hi Tim,

                          The Reverse wire is below the Left Hand Side kickpanel, and I have corrected my error!

                          The wiring also does change colours thru the car somewhere, sounds strange but isn't uncommon.

                          Cheers, Mat

                            Thanks again Mat

                            By the way my camera only has + and - and video wires. No video sheild wire -what is this for?

                            Cheers

                              Hi Tim,

                              Most video leads look like they are just one cable, but they actually have 2 lots of wiring in them.
                              There is a centre conductor wire, which is then insulated from the next lot of wire which is your shield wire, which then has another lot of insulation over it.
                              If you have had a look at some TV or Radio coax, it's pretty much the same principle.

                              Cheers, Mat
