I got it off ebay searched for Toyota Fit camera. Paid about 100$ for it. Comes with the hole saw to drill the hole to mount the camera. In hindsight I could have gotten a 15$ knock off and accomplished the exact same thing but like yourself I wanted a factory part.


It comes with a harness that plugs into the back of the radio. You have to tap into your reverse lamp signal and run a wire for the reverse trigger. There's a thread on here how to do it. Now that ive done it once it's a half hour job at most.


No way would I spend 1500$ upgrading to a 2016 headunit to do the exact same thing. That would be ridiculous.


Here is an install thread:

As to whether or not it meets your standards or not is speculative. I was simply trying to be helpful. I've been in a 2016 I don't recall it being any different. By all means if you have the money to spare to install a 16 headunit that is probably what you should do.

My sincere apologies in how I talked to you buddy. I was wondering which one did you buy and where =p?

Also, does it work with the base model of the 2015 FRS??
