Which camera did you use for the front. The reason i ask is i see that on your front view you have the lines disabled and i know each camera has different ways of doing that. I love the button mod, very stealthy.

Im going to get that switch box ordered, thats just too easy to not do it.

Thanks @Danklvr

Edit, i notice the link for the switchbox says 60 days to ship, did it really take that long?

I think i got this cam, but had to open it up, and flip the lens 180 degrees around, so that when installed in my desired orientation, the camera lens would not be pointing up, even though the housing is pointing down, which youll have to do with just about any front/reverse cam.. its easy, mark lens on front with strip of colored tape down center, so 50/50 tape and lense are showinf, open back, cut around rubber sealant carefully with x-acto, remove lens, flip 180, and using your tape as a guide, fit back into position. seal with hot glue and silicone, enjoy your pimpness..

shipping time and transit on the cam switch box was about 25 days all in all, not too bad for a qty of 1ea.

I think i might try this one instead and see if i can integrate it right into the liscence plate mount.

For those with the eBay kit, how accurate is the line? On my Corolla that thing was spot on.

see post 77 above. This is the oem camera i installed on my 2015. On the wire in the trunk going to the camera are a pair of jumper wires which are used to turn the guidelines on and off and invert the image. They may be under a piece of heatshrink on the wire. My installation instructions were for a camry and this camera is used in many toyota products. Id be suprised if there not there somewhere. They are on the camera end of the harness in the trunk. Not in the dash.

I have both a front and a rear cam. I purposely bought cams with the cuttable wires to ensure I had all the options and enable me to remove the guidelines but our head unit does not have its own guidelines so I did not have to worry about duplication of them.

Regardless, I find guidelines invaluable and would not be without them as the pic distortion from the wide angle lens make judgement of distances imprecise.

Sweet, I'll check it on the car later, Was surprised the Lines weren't a standard option in the backup camera in the 2016 model.

Thanks!

At least on the BRZ, the lines are generated on the head unit so any camera you add, you don't want the lines bring superimposed.

So I had some time to look at it, I couldn't find the double green. Found one olive green looking wire tho, but haven't touched it yet, since I'm not sure if its the same one on the 2016 Rear Camera.

That is the camera I purchased from the same seller for my 2015. I now know that I could have done it cheaper but it's a good kit that comes with the harness, a hole saw for mounting the camera in the factory location.

hows the camera in the dark?

I have a 2014 Scion FRS and would like to add a backup camera to my Pioneer PT546-00140 (no nav). I pulled the head unit out and plugged my adaptor (same wire adaptor showing on your pic), but my problem is I don't know where to plug the other end which is the female connector. It didn't have anything to plug in with.
