BRZ OEM camera
 
I just got an OEM camera (not the OEM aftermarket, but the one that's shipped from factory).
I don't understand how to attach it to the car; do someone have some picture/hints?

It's all in YouTube.
If all you got was the camera, then you need the wiring harness to connect to the back of the stereo.

Thanks, but I mean how to mount it on the trunk. It has a strange plate with clips.

The extra BRZ adapter "plate" wedge is to is to angle the camera to the right angle since the OEM camera is used for multiple Subaru models. The kit should already include the Pioneer pigtail wire harness.

I have one myself, installed by myself. To this day, though it was an expensive investment, it's well worth it. Quality is very good! :thumbsup:

Do you have some photos? does the plate stick to the trim or to the trunk itself?

That's a different one from mine haha... Mine is in-cased with a black metal housing, unlike most that uses plastic...

This is the one that I have. Bought from my local Subaru dealership with Subaru parts number and everything.

The plate goes vertically on the trunk itself, underneath the center trim piece. If your car didn't come with the camera, the cutout on the trim piece to allow it to mount won't be there, you'll have to deal with that somehow.

Keep in mind that any cutting you do on the trim to give the camera the clearance it needs won't be covered up by anything, so you'll always see whatever imperfection might be left behind. For that reason, it's much easier to get the style DaJo bought and mount it directly on the trim as it will cover any hole you drill.

Thanks, I saw that there are no different part numbers for both trunk nor trim. Cutting the trim is not a problem, do the trunk has the hole? This could be annoying...
Any photo, please?

There is a hole the wires for the license plate lights go through that you can run the camera wire in too.

Guys, no offence, I worked for 10 years in car hi-fi area, I know how to fit a rear camera. I just want to know how the OEM camera is attached to the trunk, as there is no specific part number for trunk. If your car did not came with a camera from factory, that's not what I'm looking for...

sharpsicle 04-30-2018 05:53 PM

You don't need different parts for the trunk or trim. Just need to modify the existing piece. If you take a look at the actual parts on the car, you'll see what I'm talking about. There are seam lines where the camera cutout would be that you need to remove. As for the trunk, there are a multitude of holes under that trim piece, but most people add new wiring through the grommet for the license plate lights as it's convenient and protected.

This may sound harsh, but if you've been in this field for 10 years you should know what you're looking at when you pop off the rear trim. Add to that a simple search for OEM cameras and you'll have no problem.

I still don’t have my car, it’ll arrive in July, and I’m going to buy all the parts I need before that date...

Mr.ac 05-01-2018 06:50 AM

Dude. Seriously YouTube it. It's all there.

gpvecchi 09-18-2018 02:04 AM

I re-up this thread because I got my car. Now, I see there’s a masking on the trim piece with the cutout for the camera, but the trunk needs to be drilled.
I can find the horizontal alignment measuring the trim, but I can’t find the vertical measure. Anyone with stock camera may please take it for me?
Plus, is there any groove for the borders of the plate?
Thanks!
