That is awesome for the price of a cheap camera and 25$ for the switch box id be in on that. Do you have a link to the DIY for the switch and where did you put the front camera?

check out this DIY below, its awesome!

My front cam in one of the holes from the OEM licence plate surround, pointed down, wires run behind the crash beam, up behind headlights and back through firewall via one of the oem passthroughs by the steering rod area then back to switchbox, mounted behind h/u.

Front camera mounted in grill -

Front camera view guidlines turned off, sorry nothing for reference besides pavement... curbs and parking blocks show up very clear against the edges of the front lip. I wanted a curb cam, not a front facing traffic cam.

Thats awesome. Ive already done the rear camera. The rear i purchased was the oem fit camera and id rather not order another one of those due to the cost.

Which camera did you use for the front. The reason i ask is i see that on your front view you have the lines disabled and i know each camera has different ways of doing that. I love the button mod, very stealthy.

Im going to get that switch box ordered, thats just too easy to not do it.

Thanks @Danklvr

Edit, i notice the link for the switchbox says 60 days to ship, did it really take that long?

Man, I'm kinda upset the stock camera that comes with the 16 doesn't have the lines. Is it possible to add the lines to the stock camera or do I have to get those eBay kit?

For those with the eBay kit, how accurate is the line? On my Corolla that thing was spot on.

I think i got this cam, but had to open it up, and flip the lens 180 degrees around, so that when installed in my desired orientation, the camera lens would not be pointing up, even though the housing is pointing down, which youll have to do with just about any front/reverse cam.. its easy, mark lens on front with strip of colored tape down center, so 50/50 tape and lense are showinf, open back, cut around rubber sealant carefully with x-acto, remove lens, flip 180, and using your tape as a guide, fit back into position. seal with hot glue and silicone, enjoy your pimpness..

shipping time and transit on the cam switch box was about 25 days all in all, not too bad for a qty of 1ea.

I think i might try this one instead and see if i can integrate it right into the liscence plate mount.

see post 77 above. This is the oem camera i installed on my 2015. On the wire in the trunk going to the camera are a pair of jumper wires which are used to turn the guidelines on and off and invert the image. They may be under a piece of heatshrink on the wire. My installation instructions were for a camry and this camera is used in many toyota products. Id be suprised if there not there somewhere. They are on the camera end of the harness in the trunk. Not in the dash.

I have both a front and a rear cam. I purposely bought cams with the cuttable wires to ensure I had all the options and enable me to remove the guidelines but our head unit does not have its own guidelines so I did not have to worry about duplication of them.

Regardless, I find guidelines invaluable and would not be without them as the pic distortion from the wide angle lens make judgement of distances imprecise.

Sweet, I'll check it on the car later, Was surprised the Lines weren't a standard option in the backup camera in the 2016 model.

Thanks!

At least on the BRZ, the lines are generated on the head unit so any camera you add, you don't want the lines bring superimposed.

So I had some time to look at it, I couldn't find the double green. Found one olive green looking wire tho, but haven't touched it yet, since I'm not sure if its the same one on the 2016 Rear Camera.

Would that work :D

Im curious, could you post a picture? I'd like to see what it looks like.

That is the camera I purchased from the same seller for my 2015. I now know that I could have done it cheaper but it's a good kit that comes with the harness, a hole saw for mounting the camera in the factory location.

Can you tell me how to make it cheaper :$ I'll invite you for a coffee lol joke!

Here's the stock camera that came from factory.

hows the camera in the dark?

I have a 2014 Scion FRS and would like to add a backup camera to my Pioneer PT546-00140 (no nav). I pulled the head unit out and plugged my adaptor (same wire adaptor showing on your pic), but my problem is I don't know where to plug the other end which is the female connector. It didn't have anything to plug in with.

Not trying to use this as an avenue for sales since I am not a vendor here, but obviously you guys found my product so I would like to extend the olive branch of support!

If you have any questions, need any technical support, or help finding a professional installer in your area please feel free to get a hold of me!

Thanks guys,

I liked that this was essentially plug n play but I'm not thrilled with the resulting angle of the camera.

I went through Camera Source (https://camera-source.com/subaru-leg...play-1609.html) this camera was an awesome plug and play and only had to tap 2 wires for 12V and ground. Otherwise it integrated flawlessly. My only gripe with the camera and i am wondering if anyone else is having this issue is that its too dim.
When in use and its dark outside it is DARK, sometimes it is borderline useless and i purchased an LED kit for the reverse lights and i ordered a tail as turn kit from diode dinamics to also free up 2 more reverse lights. Since i added 2 LED's so far its no different, but what i have noticed is that the light from the license plate light (which is still factory) is putting out enough to really tamper with the camera. I tested this by throwing a rag into the license plate light slot and i could actually see!! Anyone else having this problem? I drilled my hole just as everyone else, but the light from the license plate seems to be hurting this setup.

Is the camera aimed such that it takes in some of the license plate? Try angling it up so the view just takes in the edge of the bumper.

There are settings in the head unit menu to do with brightness.

Good info...

used the exact same camera and mounted it on the factory (left) side of the trunk, works great! http://i.imgur.com/0LsM2gR.jpg

Yea I am planning on doing it for the other side too. I am guessing you had to to drill a hole on the left? I am thinking whether I should go through that trouble or just swap the Keyhole side.

Yeah I drilled a hole on the left. It was pretty straight forward to be honest and doesn't require much more than knowing how to drill a hole. I didn't do it on the right due to the fact I wanted to keep the keyhole there and honestly, the keyhole isn't a perfect fit, the camera wobbled in there when I did a test fit and would probably need a sealant of some sort. Factory location for the win.

+1 factory location for backup camera. Most of the camera kits come with a drill bit and 1" adapter anyway. Drilling is a 2 minute job tops. You'll spend more time unbolting the rear trunk trim than getting the camera installed :)

Hopefully somebody can help me out but I installed the camera yesterday. Everything went well. Back up camera works and I was actually able to put it the angle I wanted but then I noticed when I was trying to use my radio. It wasn't working. There is completely no sound coming out of it. NONE. Not even the beeps when you select something. Can someone chime in if they know what I did wrong. Everything seemed like it was connected fine. I don't want this to be case where I can only have one thing working and not the other. :bonk:

double check the wiring again..something might be amiss

Are you sure you plugged the antenna back in?
