2015 Tacoma Full Joying Head Unit Install W/ Factory Reverse Cam!! 

So, I installed the newest joying in my 2012 Tacoma….. followed your directions and the truck locked in park (I can over ride it with the lil switch) but the camera doesn’t work. I checked the fuses and they’re all good. I have 2 white wires….i just put them with the other one 🤷🏼 any ideas???

I’m in Jacksonville…. Wish I could just pull up!! 🤣

@erinmaroon6754 hit me up on instagram!

Thank you!! Those are incredibly kind words!!

hell yeah! glad I could help out!

And worked with the OEM back up camera, as well.

that is awesome!! thank you for posting this!!

hell yeah! thanks so much for the update!

What harness is it?

I’m installing my joying audio radio right now in my 2014 Tacoma and they said it’s plug and play for the camera but it says no signal. Any advice?

From what I know, even if you have the jbl there is no way to tap into the factory reverse camera through their current harness. They may have updated their harness, but as for as I know the only way to get your factory reverse Cam to work is how I did it in this video. If you don't mind spending the extra $15 for the jbl add on, it may be worth it to try it and see if it's compatible to our reverse cams. Sure would be easier to wire up lol. Please come back and update us so we can put it out to everyone! Thanks!

Hey so I just got Ming today and yes they did update the harness and now you can get the oem rear camera working from the Tacoma plus the steering wheel buttons. I did notice the back up camera image a bit less sharp then in the factory unit . Is that the same case with how you wired it ? Could it be the bigger display screen ?

@ivan rizo that's awesome! Yeah my image isn't as sharp either, but it's due to the much larger screen. That updated harness will make instalation way easier, but less exciting lol. Thank you for coming back and updating us!!

@@theduvaldummies hahaha right !! I’m a bit disappointed on the quality of the reverse camera image but I guess I can sacrifice that for the other nice functions of the dash . I will email them and find out if they have a setting or something that might fix it a bit . I’ll keep you posted

​@@ivanrizo4688 Can you send a link to the this? I have a '14 and am interested in doing the same install.

It is part of the cluster of connectors on the back of the radio.

Hey Carlos, I am going to film a quick video on how to map the steering wheel controls and I'll add the link here in a comment. Thank you so much for checking out the video!

ru-vid.coml60NNyllrd4?feature=share here you go brother, let me know if this does or doesn't help, if it doesn't I'll look into which unit you have and see if I can figure it out. Thanks!!

Update video should be up by the end of this week. But sneak peak, this thing is awesome! It does have small limitations, but nothing that should scare you off.

I am currently editing the update video, I should be out by tomorrow (I hope lol)

You have to remove the 5 yellow clips from oem head unit and transfer them over to the Joying unit.

Yeah Paul is correct, also I did not use the factory bracket. In the video I put the bolts back in like I was using it, I didn't even realize during filming that there was no bracket lol. It wasn't until someone pointed it out on a comment that I realized what I had done. But if that bracket messes up the fitment just take it out, I have been on a few big off road trips since I have installed it with just those 5 yellow clips and it has not ever moved. So you should be good unless you are doing extreme jumps or something lol

No, I tried to download a camera app and it didn't work with the unit. thanks for the question and the kind words!

Factory head or Joying???

If I had to guess one is a ground, one is a remote wire that activates the full screen and one is power of some sort. I wish I could be more help! As for the anytime backup cam mod, I have never looked into that. So I couldn't guess as to why you are getting codes thrown. If you are still having trouble with the backup cam in regular format, I have been told that Joying has developed a connector that should plug directly to our trucks. I would shoot them an email and ask about that plug. If you didn't leave any wires to splice into on the plug you cut out of your truck you could probably order a new one, or get one of those tools that remove the wires from those pins so you can replace them. Thanks!!

It's a Ham radio, it's the TYT TH-7800. I dont think they sell the 7800 in the US anymore (due to the fact it came unlocked and ready to roll from the factory) now you have to get the TH-9800. Same exact radio, you just have to download the TYT computer program that allows you to program your radio from the computer (1000% easier than on the radio). Hook the radio to the computer and unlock it through the program. Thanks for watching and getting involved!!

Console screen.

Good eye!! Lol, so funny story about that bracket. During the install, with all the filming, i completely forgot about that bracket, and I put those bolts in as if I had installed the brackets. Lol I didn't even realize what I had done until about 4 weeks after I posted this video and was watching one night with a buddy. Luckily I kept the stock radio, so I still have the brackets. I haven't put the bracket in yet, but I have it. Luckily, I haven't had any issues with it popping out or vibrating, even doing some pretty good off-roading. I would, however, recomend the bracket if you are installing one of these in the near future. Thanks for watching and calling me out!! Love it!!!

Lol, thanks for the reply. I used your guide to install mine and get my backup camera working. Really appreciate the time you put into making this video. Didn’t mean for my comment to come across as a call out on you, was hoping you had figured something out off camera to make them work. They will def need some cutting up to make fit. If I come up with something I’ll send it your way.

@Heimjoint thank you! I'm glad it was able to help you out!! Yeah I didn't mean for the call out part to imply I was offended or anything. I am surprised it took this long for someone to notice. But, for sure, if you find a better solution for that bracket send it my way. Thanks!!

I honestly don't think I turned on the radio since the very first time I turned it on. I'm always listening to pandora, a podcast or a book on audible lol. I do feel like the unit is not as loud as the oem unit. but I also have not once tried to mess with the equalizer.

I didnt use the blue wire and my reception is fine. I even have a short antenna on my truck.

Are you referring to the joying logo that pops up before the Google logo? As far as I know, no you can't. Let me know if that's not what you were talking about. Thanks!!

@@theduvaldummies Yes this but is totally changeable there are over 10 videos about it even Joying answered me in Amazon

@JonGCruz oh dang, ok well I'll look into that. Thanks!

Found an adapter

Nvm came with an adapter lol

Hope everything is going good with the unit! Thanks!

I have not tried any of those. I didn't get the optional obd2 connector. I have never used waze, but I will download it and use it tomorrow on my trip to daytona. I'll come back and give you an update on that. As for the split screen apps, I didn't know that was a thing. I'll play around with it and see if I can get that to work. I'll update you tomorrow night. Thanks!!

Took a 4 hour ride to daytona and back and the Waze app worked great. I still have to look into split screen thing. I think that would be interesting.

@@theduvaldummies Ya Waze is pretty good. My thought on the OBD2 was connecting the Bluetooth unit I have to Bluetooth on the head unit. Split screen to show Waze or similar on one side and some OBD2 data (engine load, etc) on the other. I hear that Android Auto might not easily support split screen like regular Android (like a tablet) does.

@Craig Bates that would be sweet! Joying has an obd2 you can buy with your head unit that plugs into the back of the head unit. The display for it looked pretty good on the video I watched.

are you talking about a harness that you have in your unit?

@@theduvaldummies disregard. The new wiring harness that came with the joying connects into the OEM camera without having to splice.

@@HectorGilHOFapparently I’m doing it wrong can you tell me which camera inputs you put together for it to work?

There has to be something with that plug, either debris or damage to the plug. Something is not letting the connection be made. I wish I had a sure fire have for you!

@@theduvaldummies kind of figured it out! Followed your instructions on the back up camera + used a $10 adapter I found online and the only extra step with the adapter harness was to T-tap the red wire for the reverse signal to the radio (this was much easier than cutting it all and I’d say totally worth the investment) if you search for “24 Pin Car Camera Adapter Connector Wire Reversing Camera to GPS Head Unit Z5X1” it should show up. As for the steering wheel controls, turns out that my Tacoma has 3 wires, SW1, SW2 and SW3 (plus a ground). My head unit only takes 2 steering wheel wires, so that is the problem. I ran SW1 and SW3 to the same input and now work, but as you can expect the buttons work in a duplicated manner (left and right do the same as volume up and down, for example). Apparently the solution for that is to run a resistor between the connections so the radio sees the signals as different frequencies. Someone online referenced a 6ohm resistor, so I’m ordering some this week and will test it out. Just sharing in case someone comes across the same issues!

That's awesome information man! Thank you!!

Hey, yeah its been working well. Android auto just updated there app and it made the unit perform a little weird but I think they have fixed that issue. I haven't noticed any lagging in the last few days. I would definitely recomend this unit to anyone. I can make a 3 month review video. I'll try and knock that out tomorrow. Thanks!!!

@@theduvaldummies Thank you for the update!!!

​@Amanda Cole unfortunately I didn't know my wife made all day plans for us today, so be looking for that video next weekend. Hopefully I can film it wednsday or Thursday.

@@theduvaldummies Ok great, counting on it because I’ll be ordering this one in 2 weeks depending on your update! Thanks 🙏🏻

I would imagine it would. You will have to find where your video feed wire is located and tap into that. BUT BEFORE YOU DO THAT, contact Joying. Someone else commented yesterday and said Joying updated the wiring harness to include the backup cam. That may include your year.

it comes with a backup harness now. Plug and play.

@@keatonmonroe530 that's great. Thank you for the info.

I just got my 10.1" model from Amazon and it did not come with the reverse camera harness.

@@paulparuginog806 I plugged in every pulg that would fit, from the truck to the provided wiring harness. The camera had something to do with the yellow aux type cables in the joying harness. Plugged the in to out and it worked.

@keatonmonroe530 Yeah 3 weeks after I did this video the harness was announced. Lol sucks for me, but oh well that's how it goes.
