AU GT86 Rear view camera Plug-n-play on Canadian (Pioneer) navigation system ?
 

Anyone have a clue if this system would just plug and play to my CANADIAN Sport tech BRZ ? I want it to look as OEM as possible and I don't want to drill the valance... cheers !

For all rear view camera install on a 2013, you need to order that connector:

It is incorrect to say you need that connector, as many have done without. It would make it slightly easier though.

Alright, so with that cable, such a kit would work ?

I don't know about the Canadian BRZ but I have fitted this kit to my Australian BRZ and it works great.
Make sure you mention that you are putting it in a BRZ, they will give you an extra loom that plugs into the factory loom, not the head unit, then you only need to splice in one wire.

What headunit comes in the AU version ? The fujitsen or the pioneer ?

The Fujitsuten unit.

Yeah :( I have the pioneer and dont want to shell out 160 for something that might not work

As I said originally, the cam does not plug into the head unit, it plugs into the cars loom. So I would think that if you can get a reverse cam as a dealer option that works with that headunit then the CCS one should work. I do agree though that it is a $160 gamble.

No dealer option in canada...

Simon: If you figure this out let me know!

I'll be investigating no-drill options for installing a rearview camera on the Pioneer head unit.

100% you'll need to drill with the kit you linked to

Any advise for possible non-drill options? There must be a way to get a small camera and pull the wire through something into the trunk! (I'm picking up my new car tonight, so pardon my ignorance if impossible)

What about removing the keyhole mechanism and putting the camera and wire from there. You would just lose ability to open trunk with physical key incase vehicle battery died. But there is a way to get into trunk from interior removing pieces from seats, again this would only be done in emergencies anyway.

Couls be an idea ! But wouldnt the camera angle be messed since the oem location is on the driver side ?

I have seen a few cameras over the plate bulb lense, no drilling needed

the light can even stay in

Interesting! Does anyone have any of these? And any photos of it set up? Also is it possible to disable the guide lines?

Indeed id like to see the durability of a camera at such a low price, I know many of them dont even survive one wash

Sent from my SGH-I337M using Tapatalk

my idea is you pay that price for the lense and then just get a real camera for it.

I'd love to do that, but do you have an idea where I could buy a replacement for it ?

If you want a stock camera try subaru their cameras should all be the same. Or you could get the beatsonic one. I dont think toyota stock ones would work i believe all their systems are jvc not pioneer

Subaru does not offer a backup camera for the BRZ. Just checked with them.

You checked regarding worldwide ? Or North america ?

Then i would go with bespoke or pioneer universal rear view camera

It was actually US. I checked on Japanparts.com, but not available. I would love to have a Subaru made kit, but if not available I am going with the Rydeen Duo. Seems like the best quality and semi easy hookup.

I am looking forward to having better rear vision.....

If you know of somewhere else I should check i would be glad to know. But I dont really want a kit made for head units that are not the Fujitsu, as it seems like a more complex installation. But I would be glad to be proved wrong...

Yeah thats the thing, u guys have the fujistsu but 2013 BRZ in canada have Pioneer

I asked my local subie dealer and he said they could install one on my brz (fricken expensive at $250+1hr labour) but he didn't know what it looked like.

I am also watching for one that fits in the oem location and looks oem.. but I doubt doing it without drilling is possible from all the cams I have seen.
