Review on 📷 PYvideo Rear Backup Camera Kit for 2012-2014 Toyota Camry, Corolla, Prius & More - Black Color by David Hashman

Installed in my wife's 2012 Prius A and she loves it. Before I start: - My kit arrived without the plastic strips mentioned in the video, and without those strips or something you can't route the camera cable through the rubber boot on the rear sunroof or between the roof and headliner. I used a 36 inch piece of #16 solid copper wire with a sheath to catch the wire. The kit included about 1/4 the amount of zip ties I thought should be used to keep the wiring in a neatly routed (and protected) place. position without pinching/abrasion). Have 15-20 additional 3" cable ties available before beginning the installation. the video skips this step. If you follow the written instructions for the steps required to remove the radio and center console, no additional work is required (no need to go back later or do any additional work other than unplugging the camera after removal). verified). Better safe than sorry - test your camera before installation! When I pulled the bottom inner panel out of the sunroof, the two fasteners came loose from the panel, not the sunroof. If this happens to you, DO NOT attempt to pry the latch out of the hatch with pliers - this will ruin the latch! The yellow plastic tool that came with the camera didn't help removing the fasteners from the hatch, so I used a metal nail bar similar to Revain's "Stanley 55-045 7-1/2-Inch Wonder Bar II". " to remove the fasteners so they can be re-attached to the panel before reinstalling. Treat the fastener as you would a nail - slide the notch on the rectangular part of the nail rail around the body of the fastener between the part of the Fastener that holds the panel to the hatch and hatch and gently pry the clip to release it from the sunroof In preparation for routing the cable between the roof and the panel, remove the fasteners in the center, left center and far left (when looking in from the sunroof)..They are easy to remove and replace, and removing all three fasteners reduces the tendency of the liner to buckle when you pull it down to fire.Place one (or both) thumbs on top of the cable clip (see arrow on clip? ) and press the top of the clip into Rich direction passenger compartment to detach it from the innermost part (towards the center of the cabin.) upper corner of the clip. The video skipped routing the cable from the rear doorway to the front doorway. Pretty simple Use a wire catcher (plastic strip, piece of wire, etc.) to trap the camera cable between the door jamb and the jamb's plastic cover. All in all, the installation took me about 3 hours. camera, but I was completely paranoid about those internal plate mounts, so I VERY carefully (and slowly) removed the plates. The other two steps that seemed to take quite a bit of time were threading the camera cable through the rubber grommet on the sunroof (TIGHT, even with lube! Use silicone spray if you have it, by the way - WD-40 attracts moisture, and its solvent properties can adversely affect any adhesives etc on the factory wiring), as well as snagging the wire between the headliner and the roof (keeps hanging), but overall the installation was fairly easy and went fairly well. smooth.
