2006 Yaris Hatchback Rear Camera Install - Toyota Yaris Forums

rcvmini · 09-23-2018, 12:09 AM

I literally just did this today. I upgraded the stereo to an ATOTO A6 so I added a camera. I bought one off amazon that had the radar in it as well as the camera so it actually gives distances.

Running the wire was VERY easy just make sure you get a video/RCA wire that also has a power wire with it so that you can connect the reverse light to the monitor.

The one I bought didn't so I had to run another separate wire alongside the RCA/VIDEO wire.

I tied the power to the backup light which was easy to get to. I tapped it right to the backup lightbulb connector to make it easy.

I ran the RCA and power cable along the side the of the trip near where the carpet meets the door liner and ran it all the way along the side to the back. I then ran it up and back through the plastic trip of the fold down seats. Then along the side of the trunk.

Yaris trim is VERY easy to hide wires in. Easiest car I've ever dealt with hiding wires.

If you don't want to run it to a new stereo/head unit then I would suggest a dashcam/backup cam rear view mirror kit. Just grab one from AMAZON.

The only annoying part of the install will be mounting the camera. I would suggest one that mounts to the licence plate. I got one that had to be under mounted so I mounted it under the silver trim piece of the trunk.

One last thing... test the kit BEFORE you install it to make sure everything works. Nothing more annoying then setting it all up and running cables only to realize it doesn't work....
