2014 monogram backup camera help
 
I recently bought a 2014 FR-s Monogram with a bespoke headunit with nav and all "fancy" bells and whistles...im trying to get a back up camera for it, but confused as to what I actually need to get...seems theres a bunch of audio systems for this car and I keep reading confusing articles and sales ads..some say for 2014 up with bespoke...not bespoke..even though the head unit in the pictures looks like mine...

trying to get as oem-look as possible, with the camera to the left of the driver side license plate light..i think that would be the factory spot?

thanks in advance!

factory Toyota unit should work just fine.

This is the harness I used on my BRZ:

It will allow connection of any 12V camera to the BRZ headunit.

I bought a cheap ebay camera.

You can also find some that look close to stock on Amazon.
Here is one I considered:

Try whatever cam in the factory spot temporarily with doublesided tape or Blutak . Then try nearly central (there's room just to the side of the trunk release button) , then choose.
Further down the track you may want to add a front cam. Check this http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...t=57644&page=3

Temporarily try whatever cam attached with double-sided tape or BluTak in the factory spot and also in the central space close to the trunk release before choosing.
Also, you may want to add a front cam later
