Thx. It wasn't exactly plug and play since you have to tap 2 wires for the cam to activate when you switch gears to reverse. I should also add that additional copper wiring is needed to extend the wires provided by Beat-Sonic. Pretty cheap at any auto parts store and simple to extend with basic wire snippers. Once the wires have been run from the trunk to head unit, you should almost be home free.

I agree - it's a great product.

Thx! Still incomplete but I figured some pics are better than no pics :)
I'm still waiting for my TRD license plate frame to arrive so I haven't finished tucking all the wires from the trunk, and fishing it through the car's rubber tubing. Have you done that? Any tips on how to do it easily?

Looks great. Its too bad I didnt get a BeSpoke.

Will this work with the BRZ head unit?

Can u update what camera and install kit we need (link not working)

I just installed mine today. The easiest way I found to get the wires through the trunk grommets was to unplug the wiring connector and pull the grommet loose from both the trunk and the body. That way you can straighten it out and push a straightened coat hanger through. Tape the camera wire to the coat hanger, and pull it back through the grommet, and untape. Simple.

Yep it works with the BRZ headunit. It's listed in their compatibility list also: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...ght=Beat+sonic

It doesn't look that good, but I'll leave it for now. My rear trunk opener stopped working (before the install) - I don't want the dealer to think I broke it while installing the camera.

Ah good call. Better to wait til after u get the trunk issue resolved by the dealer first.

You'll need:

- 10mm socket, socket wrench, extension
- Very small flat head screw driver (the ones used to disassemble glasses)
- Extra stereo wires (up to 7.5ft)
- 1 x Ring Terminal for wire ground
- Electric Tape
- 1 x Male 14-16 Gauge Bullet Connector
- Panel Removal Tool (or anything that can pry open the headunit (something thin and non abrasive) I used a plastic wax comb for surfboards.)

nice job...i was about to do it as well....i knew the deck can just plug and play...thanks

The bcus2 harness adapter male does not fit properly into the back of my brz head unit

I'm stuck. Anyone had this problem ?

different size 16 pin back connector

Hmm I'm not sure since I don't have a BRZ. I'm sure @Beat-Sonic can help you out. Shoot them an email or PM. Eric's a good guy and helped answer all my install questions. Gl!

Thanks!

everything solved.

Thanks again to Eric at Beatsonic.

A++ customer service.

A++ quality products.

Do you have to have the bespoke HU in order to do this or can I hook it up to the stock touch screen HUH or with an aftermarket one.

Good question. @Beat-Sonic should be able to help answer that.

Our BCUS3 Backup Camera Adapter and the Backup Camera combination is compatible to the Bespoke HU and also the stock standard Scion touch screen.

If installing the Beat-Sonic backup camera to an aftermarket headunit that is backup camera ready, you will not need the BCUS3 backup camera adapter. The backup camera is all you need.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Thank you!

Does this work with the UK spec Toyota GT86 and the standard head unit (with Nav) fitted to it?

Since you put that upside down is the writing about checking surroundings upside down?

Hey may I ask how you had it placed in that location? Did you create/drill a hole or something? I'm looking to fix mine as such

If I wanted to change the license plate... how hard is it to move the camera out momentarily?
