I try to explain how to add the Axxess AX-TOYCAM3-6V interface to retain factory back up camera to a aftermarket screen. this was on a 2014 toyota camry
Thank you! I’ve got the ax-toycam2-6v for my 2011 Avalon. The instructions are very inadequate. The way you connected it is the only thing that made sense. That you for confirming it.
Great Video! saved me time with these confusing wires, also if you end up having a ground reading (0.00) and you have the car in reverse check the (BACUP LP) (7.5) fuse under the drivers side, I swapped that and bam! Back up cam. I have a 2014 Camry SE 2.5
Thank you sir for your simple to follow step by step instructions. I used the backup adapter on my new Teyes CC3 android radio on 2017 Toyota Highlander and bam works like a charm!
Thank you boss,I have Toyota Camry 2014 .I install after market radio.i retain my factory back up camara by this video.its working now.thank you so much.
Great explanation, I upgraded it my 2010 Prius with an aftermarket stereo but wanted to keep the OEM backup camera and got stuck finding the Reverse signal from the car harness. I bought the same module to retain the backup camera. I will try your method, hopefully I will be able to find it. Thanks
From what i was told, you can’t always retain the factory back up camera on all vehicles, unless you know which is the the video signal wires. The reason is, those come in the form of separate wires, where as the aftermarket stereos need a rca video cable. The module usually converts the that signal into an rca, so if all you need is the reverse signal ( and you can find it up front) then you can always just tap into one of the reverse light wires and run that wire to the back of your stereo’s reverse input.
Thank you so much for the tutorial. It worked out almost perfect. Although the camera is working It won't automatically switch to the camera unless I hit the camera button on the control panel when the car is in reverse. Any idea what I might have done wrong?
Hummm sounds like you don’t have the reverse wire hooked up. That wire tells the stereo to automatically switch when in reverse. Make sure your stereo doesn’t have a setting that has to be put in reverse switching mode in camera settings
@@raiderman28 in my stereo the reverse wire was a long green one. I attached thar to the one from the module and those two together I attached to the one I had to look for in the car harness . So I attached the three of them together, the green long one from the radio labeled reverse. The one from the module to convert 12 to 6v and the one we had to find in the car harness . Was that correct?
Great video on my toyota misuring the camera wires i have 7v in this case i need tu put the convertor or where i should connect the reverse wire? Thanks
Great video, I just purchased that same harness and step module you think I could cut off all the extra wires or just pull the pins out of the connector side I dont need ive connected sound systems many times I just never messed with factory retainers always have done full aftermarket
You can, but I don’t know why you would. If your not using a wire, you can cut it and just cap it. That how we do it professionally. But either way will work
@@raiderman28 yea thats good too I was just saying to remove all the extra wires out that I really dont need so I won't have a bunch of wires behind the radio im installing but that will do too
I am also working on a 2014 Camry. Does the stereo reverse wire and the black/white wire connection need to be separate? Or can they go into the same slide connector then I onto the t tap?
I had installed an aftermarket radio before making the attempt to retain my factory backup camera. I tapped into a reverse wire from the fuse box, so I need to have the regulator and the radio to the same reverse trigger in order to work? Or can I leave the radio tapped into the fuse box and the regular where you had it in this video?
You need the module / voltage step down for it to work. The aftermarket radio provides 12volts and the aftermarket camera uses 5volts ( i believe) so it that module converts it. I don’t remember the reverse camera wire going to a fuse. Its usually behind the dash. I just did a 2015 camry yesterday and that one was had a separate harness with 4 wires. I think one was brown and the other was black. I had bought a kit from crutchfield where they wired everything up for you. Basically plug and play. Came with steering wheel control module and all the wiring to what ever radio you buy from them. You pay them $24.95 to wire it up for you. Take all the work out of figuring this out. Bought a pioneer stereo with integration harness, steering wheel control module together, back up camera module, antenna adapter, and installation kit for about $515. All was left was to assemble the stereo to the mounting kit, with a/c module and factory clips. All in the instructions from the kit, and they also email a install instructions ( that i didn’t even use).
Aqua 2017 revers camera is not working when I put for reverse couldn’t change it but camera was there and camera wires connected do u think why it’s not working
you would have to check to make sure those cables are going all the way up to the screen. make sure there are no cuts in the cables. many times the video cable (if they use just a regular RCA go bad. should use a yellow RCA video cable, or the camera goes bad.
im also trying to retain my prius 2017 fatory camera into my android headset. Install the 12 to 6v step down but im getting a distorted image. Have you seen this issue before?
@@raiderman28 my question was about that wire that change the volt from 12 to 6 volt to retain the OEM backup cam can be used for lexus is300 model 2011??...as i planning to replace the stock screen with androiod unit but i dont want to change my back cam. Can you share the link where i can find the same?
@@alialwahedi4672 they don’t even show a 2011 lexus is300 Are sure its not a is350 or different year? Either way, with most lexus they don’t make much conversion kits for those vehicles. You can check for yourself here at www.metraonline.com Just select the year, make and model, and it will tell you if they make a stereo kit, stereo installation harness or integration module, antenna adapter, speaker adapters, or specialty adapters like retaining back up camera. For Lexus, i have seen in my experience not much integration with many lexus 300 models. Usually to do Installation of these vehicles many shops have to do custom installs and alot of rewiring. The reason they don’t make much Immigration parts for these vehicles is that they have very complicated factory amplifiers in them to begin with. Many Mercedes are the same way.
I don’t think so, you would have to check with metra the manufacturer of the harness If you go to www.metraonline.com you can input your information and scroll down and see if it shows a harness to use for retaining the rear camera. They don’t make a harness for ever vehicle
Please help me cus its my first time ever trying to hook up an after market stereo in a car. When you talk about the reverse camera wire, How do i splice in 2 wires into the 1? Is there a special quick splice connector that i need? One that joins 3 seperate wires?
You can just cut and strip the wires and use a crimp cap, or take two of the wires into a male disconnect and use a t-tap to the wire you are going into.
I’m trying to retain OEM camera 2016 Subaru Crosstrek. Do you know something a about it? I got the converter and trying to hook it into an android radio.
They don’t make retention modules for all vehicles. I believe you can only add a aftermarket camera to the factory radio, but not the OEM camera to aftermarket radio without major wiring by someone that knows the color codes to cut into wiring and make it work. They don’t make a module accord to metra, which is a major manufacturer of aftermarket parts
Usually most people keep the factory camera to keep cost down and less of a headache to try and remove old camera I have no idea if aftermarket camera is better than factory
