Hi all,
For all the Canadian BRZ people out there heres a few pictures and notes from my install. (links to all parts at the bottom)
Installation was pretty straight forward:
-remove trunk liner,
-undo plaque bolts,
-measure cam location,
-drill hole, (I used this
drill bit to be more precise)
-feed wires thru hole with grommet,
-feed through existing rubber grommet into interior,
-solder on longer section of wires.
-run along body, zip-tying as you go,
-feed into back of headunit,
-wire it all up and done.
...see simple lol
The purple wire below is what tells the headunit that you're in reverse. It's wrapped in the existing harness, so you will need to strip and then run a jumper to the rear tail light wire in the driver side wheel well.
The tiny pink wirebelow is the power wire for the reverse lights. It's hidden behind the cover where your hood release is by the pedals. You run the jumper wire from the purple wire to this little guy.
Wiring:
1. Yellow AV connector (from Camera) went to the Brown connector (from harness).
2. Red +power wire (from Camera) was spliced into a Red wire (from existing harness) to gain the +12VDC, only when the car was on.
3. Black -power wire (from Camera) was attached to one of the grounding bolts on the body of the car, behind the head unit
4. Purple wire (from existing harness) was jumpered to the pink rear light signal wire in (driver side wheel well)

UPDATE: Well seems the "waterproofing" isn't what it made out to be. The first frost this season proved to much the camera. The lens is frosted over from the inside.... pretty disappointing, but it's still useable.
