No the colour of the buttons don't change with the screen. That might be the difference!

Hmmm I do know that our Prado and Corolla have the identical head unit in them and one has green buttons and one has orange buttons. There must be a way to change the button colour, I hope

Just had a closer look at the head units I have, Prado is 12851 and Corolla is 12852. The one I bought is a '2' version so orange buttons. Bugger![url=http://www.myswag.org/index.php?topic=12264]My Prado[/url]Comment

Well, someone's got to be the guinea pig. At least you'll get a warm fuzzy for contributing a valuable piece of information to the PP community.Comment

I have finally sourced a 38005 head unit and reverse camera. Will be fitting asap.[url=http://www.myswag.org/index.php?topic=12264]My Prado[/url]Comment

AMTS, could you get the reverse camera working without splicing the two wiring harness wires? I can't...Comment
-
Good work, D4D. What reverse camera did you get?
dragonfly, the previous owner already had the reverse camera installed. So the splicing might have already been done. I just plugged the wiring harness in without doing any further splicing.Comment

AMTS - I bought the Toyota OE reverse cam which is a rebadged Fujitsu Ten, Toyota part number PZQ90-60040.
Dragonfly's wiring is sorted. The purple is a speed sense and not required the green requires the reverse signal which comes from connection J23 which is red with a black trace.[url=http://www.myswag.org/index.php?topic=12264]My Prado[/url]Comment

How much was the camera?Comment

Don't ask, it must be made of gold. The benefit of the OE cam is not having to run a wire from the back to the front as the '08 and above 120s have the rear cam prewired.[url=http://www.myswag.org/index.php?topic=12264]My Prado[/url]Comment

To make it simple for the next pigeon to try this... The green wire is spliced onto the red wire with the black trace that is visible
in the big loom on the left hand side inside the dash. The purple wire is not required.
There is a step-by-step wiring and installation guide on another forum, but the OEM camera comes with idiot-proof instructions... the only thing that's not obvious is the splicing. All sorted now. Thanks D4D for the assistance and AMTs for the informative thread.

I've been wondering if any ebay camera will work with the unit. I have to fix up the reverse camera and screen in our Tarago and my brother-in-law also needs one for his Prado.
Dragonfly, thanks for the wiring info.
Here is a useful reference for the rear connectors of the Toyota stereo units.

Yes an eBay camera will work after some connection modification however, after viewing both, the eBay camera is much more of a fisheye image. You pay more for the OE camera but in my opinion it is a better image.[url=http://www.myswag.org/index.php?topic=12264]My Prado[/url]Comment

Are you going to share the connection mods or keep it to yourself?
Any camera will do as long as it works and I can see the kids, etc.
The Tarago currently has the reverse camera displayed on the rear view mirror and it is pretty poor due to not having enough brightness/contrast to overcome the mirror view out the back of the rear windscreen. No problems at night but can't really see much during the day. Having the display as part of the stereo is much better.
Plus, I'm looking at a dashcam that is part of the rear view mirror
