Details:

I want to have a super discrete install, so I bought a small camera and a flush mount rear ultrasonic sensors
All from Aliexpress. The camera didn't have any IR light so you need to have a good reverse light if you are in a completely dark place.
I've installed the buzzer (because I have the camera I don't need the display to show the distance), the buzzer was concealed on the back rear light
The quality of the ultrasonic sensors aren't that great, they are slow so respond. The cheaper version (with bigger hole and not flush install are much better)
I've installed a fuse to protect the reverse light circuit
The video cable goes from the back to the front console, on the drivers side


REQUEST
PS: I would like to flush the cooling liquid. Anyone can send me the Yaris XP 10 (1999-2002)?
I only have this incomplete manual for the Echo model

What an awesome upgrade! I have a similar head unit. Do you have any concerns about the hot glue softening up in hot weather? I think I'd be inclined to use a 2-part epoxy.

I've been looking at backup cameras too. I'll likely grab one of the 'factory fit' ones that replaces the license plate light unit as a whole. Does the ultrasonic sensor system interface with the head unit, or are they separate?

Again, great upgrades!

The hot glue is better than the epoxy on the plastic. Also it’s a fail safe, not the main adhesive method. My cheap system doesn’t support any kind of ultrasonic hardware. Doesn’t have any input or output interface. Maybe the costly ones have it
