Just did the install on my 2023 4runner. I watched many videos but this is the one that was queued up for the step by step. Thanks for the tutorial and all the great videos.
This was by far the best DIY video I have ever seen. Me and my son got it right the first time. The bulletin board was very good presentation. Thank you to you and your wife for making what seemed a inpossible task duable. Thank you for the video.
Gosh darnit i just did my install yesterday and I wish I would've seen this video. The wiring part especially was so clear. Much more clear than the pdf. Though I was able to wire it correctly, having a good visual representation is much more helpful.
Great to hear!
I truly am appreciative of the obvious talent and effort that y'all put into your videos. Your honest opinions and reasoning have influenced several decisions that I have made for the current and future outfitting of my 5th Gen 4Runner. Add to that the entertainment factor and y'all are knocking these out of the park.
Thank you!!!
Great Video. I love the arrow w/ broadhead as a pointer. Your videos are always well done.
Glad you enjoyed it
Oh and I have to give Merri, two 👍👍 for being today's wiring professor.
As soon as that kit is back in stock, I'm absolutely grabbing one.
I was just complaining about needing a front camera last night while parking. Lol great timing for this video to hit. Awesome job as always! And Happy New Year!
Thanks for watching, and Happy New Year to you too!
Thank you SO MUCH for this video. Almost everyone else got the wiring completely wrong. I was able to salvage the problem and it's all working now thanks to your amazing video! Working perfect with the 2020+ kit in a 2021 Tacoma!
Glad it helped!!!
Excellent instructional video. It made my install less stressful. Thank you!
Great to hear!
Did this exact setup last year and it's super awesome and useful especially when cresting hills that you can't see over. Great job on DIY install
Jeremy Chambers Thanks for watching. I like it already, just wheeling around the parking lot at work. LOL -Merri
As always, great video and super helpful for us installers triple checking the steps lol. I have the 2010-2013 5th Gen so unfortunately I had to cut and splice into some of the factory wires behind the head unit, which was nerve wracking, but so far working. I'm glad I quadruple checked your video bc I would've missed how the blue and grey wires on the switch can be used for the button illumination. The site's diagram just says those are for 2020+ models, but your video shows how else it can be used. Thanks for the great instructions with this, and all your other videos, and hope they keep coming!
Thank you so very much, and we're glad is was helpful!
Excellent video! I really liked the layout on the whiteboard, Merri did a great job of explaining everything. Kudos to the both of you for consistently putting out such great how-to videos!
That means a lot to us Michael, THANKS!
Just ordered the camera kit today.
This video will be a wonderful reference when I install it.
Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
hands down the best install video on this I've seen! THANK YOU!
Wow, thanks!
Thank you so much!!! I loved this video. Soo helpful imo
Very well done DIY. Thank you for all the effort.
Thank you! Cheers!
The best install video I've seen. Thank you. Great idea to have everything displayed.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great vid guys. Been thinking about doing this and you made it look real easy. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching Armando. It wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be. -Merri
This is exactly what I was looking for especially since I also have the Expedition Essentials mount.
Good to hear!
Great Video as always. Love Merri's broadhead pointer!! LOL
Paul F I am one of those “repurpose” kind of girls. Ha Ha
Thanks for watching.
The best video explanation. Thank you very much.
Glad it was helpful!
Very well done; clearly demonstrated and white board was very nice too.
Thank you very much!
Great video. I can tell you both put a lot of work into this. I'll definitely buy the camera now.
Awesome! Thank you!
Nice who deosnt love a tactical pointer, well done.
Thanks!
Guys always love the content. Keep it up.
Joe Rouleau Thanks Joe!
Just got this kid for my Tacoma. Thanks for the video!
-M
Thanks for watching! The front camera sure comes in handy!
This video made it so easy for me! Thanks so much
Glad it helped!
Thanks for another great video. I really do appreciate the time and effort you guys put in to get these out. Very useful and in formative. I too plan to get one once they are in stock again.
Did you do anything special to move the rear camera to clear the spare? Please let me know and thanks again for the video.
Thanks for watching! We had to relocate the rear to the driver's side bumper swingout.
Great video. I’ve been looking for exactly this. Thank you 🙏
You're very welcome!
Awesome video guys thank you for making and sharing!
Thanks for watching!
I wish you had shown where and how you hooked in the switch illumination.
Ordered!! Hope I can figure it out
Happy New Years My favorite couple, in the whole wide world(Hmm.. that sounded like a kid talking lol)
I like this.. May have to check them out.
Mark, you're missing a few facial hairs there, sir. Also got a haircut (Or two) lookin' good in 2020 lol
Love you guys!!
Thanks as always for watching, Kiss Kiss! Happy New Year. Hope life if treating you well.
Just wondering with all the spaghetti I use extra sauce and cheese .texas toast . Great job explaining
David Ellenbaum 😂
Great video! Very clear instructions. Could you share some info on how the front camera bracket was made? I have the same bar blocking the view.
We cut it out of a solid piece of ABS plastic then bolted it onto a bracket made out of aluminum L channel. Are you on Facebook? We can share some photos there.
@@WanderlostOverland Thank you for your quick reply. I am on facebook: george.pick.9. I'm also curious where you connected the bracket.
We'll get some detailed pics up on our page sometime this weekend. facebook.com/mark.merri/
Wanderlost Overland were you able to post pictures of the bracket on your Facebook page? Couldn’t find them. Thank you.
@@suefernaays1342 Sorry, never got around to posting pics. We'll for sure do it this evening.
You guys are awesome lol. Subbed! Yall are a damn cute couple
On a 2019 Tacoma trd offroad. Where is the best place to tie in the blue and grey wires. Tied them in to ect switch and now my backlit blue doesn't work for climate knobs, 4x4, USB.
Any place behind any switch.
Did you use a tee-splice? Sometimes they will actually cut the wire you're tapping into. It sounds like that is the cause for your lights not working.
Great tutorial! Now off to look to see if this will work with the head unit updates for 2020 models...
Thanks for watching Michael! I don't believe there is one for the 2020s yet, but they are working on it.
Awsomee you make it look easy. Im sure it wont go that smoothly when i try to install mine...
Just take your time and triple check where the wires go. YOU GOT THIS!
awesome video!!! very helpful
Glad you think so!
AWESOME! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Great video! I’ve watched it several times.
I have a question regarding the blue and grey illumination wires on the switch. I have listened/watched several times the video in order to understand where these two wire connect. Could you help me with that? Thanks!!
Thanks for watching James!
We purposely left that part out due to the
various models the kit works on. We can verify the places to tap into on our
late model 5th Gen but not the Taco or Tundra.
If you're is a 4Runner like ours; Coming out of
any illuminated dash switch there will be a gray and a green wire. That's where
you can tie into for the dash lights. We used the wires on the back of our
heated wiper switch. A simple tee splice will work. Just make sure it cuts
through the insulation enough to make good contact. Sometimes they don't.
If you have any other questions please just ask.
We'll try to get back to you as soon as possible.
@@WanderlostOverland perfect, just watched the video and this was the answer to my exact question.
You guys are very cute. When you wired up your switch I wasn’t sure did you have to cut the other two wires into your wiring harness to get it to illuminate thank you
We did. In the video Merri explained where we hooked them in on her white board. Later we purposely didn't provide any details because the wires tied in behind the dash will likely vary between models and years.
Thank you for getting back to me I watch more videos they actually why a ride up to the harness and I called the company I don’t have to cut into any wires be blessed you guys you’re very sweet thanks again
On the Relay, do you know which cable goes to which relay port or terminal (30, 85, 86, 87)? Thanks
Can you tell me where you tied the gray wire and blue to light up your switch?
We put tee splices on the illumination wires coming out of our heated wiper switch. gray and green
@@WanderlostOverland Thank you
On the heated wiper switch, you used the gray and green to splice the blue and gray wires coming from the switch. Which is positive on the heated wiper switch? The green or the gray? Thanks.
Great video. Why did you need the extra 22 gauge green wire that you used for the switch? Was it because the switch was going to be on the left side of the steering wheel?
Yup, just an extension wire over to our switch.
Great video. To connect wires, did you heat gun anything? Deciding on twist caps, or connectors (but wasn't sure if you heated them or not). Thanks
We use adhesive lines shrink tubing where ever we can.
So I have a question will the front or back camera allow you to record? Like are these also “dash cams” or are they just capable of simply giving you more eyes around the vehicle?
Ours just give us more eyeballs on the obstacles.
I'm laughing right now because I snipped the wires to remove the park assist lines and to fix the image. The lines are gone but now the image is upside-down 🤣
Love your videos! What did you guys use to make the camera mount? I’m going to be running into a similar issue with my camera and bumper.
We shaped a bracket out of a solid chunk of HDPE plastic and bolted it on the grill.
@@WanderlostOverland thanks!
That's awesome thanks
Glad you like it
Thanks....
You're welcome!
When selecting front camera mode, why does both yellow lights activate in the switch ?
Awesome with this kit does the car still automatically activate the rear camera when you place in reverse or do you have to use the switch to activate?
I have the kit. Unless you have the front on, the rear will turn on when you reverse
We were expecting to have to hit the switch each time. We were pleasantly surprised to see it retains the function of turning on automatically when in reverse.
Installed this a year ago in my 2017 Tacoma, worked beautifully. I just now replaced the factory radio with an aftermarket radio (Alpine halo9) now there is no where to plug in the one side of the Video Harness (ABC-FRONT). Anybody know how I can get this to work on my new aftermarket radio?
Installed mine. Cut the white wire (front facing camera). It’s still showing reverse video. So frustrating. Any thoughts?
Thanks for the great tutorial! Just did this yesterday. It’s all working but I got a question for you guys. My switch works fine with power and dimming. When I use the back camera the orange led is on, but when I turn the front camera, both orange leds on the switch are on. Is this expected?? Thank you!
That's what ours does too.
Wanderlost Overland thank you!
Mine is working intermittently. Back camera works fine, but the front only works for a little bit
Maybe a bad connection or ground to the camera?
Could be. I got to dig deeper, especially behind the radio.
Hey folks. With all of the paneling you’ve removed and re installed over the course of your modifying, do you experience rattling? Thanks.
Surprisingly enough, no rattles!
Got a 2018 tundra. Where should i wire up the blue and gray wire. To get the lighting.
Kit was not even close to the one sent to me. I cant get it work at all.
Thanks for the video! I followed the instructions step by step and triple checked connections but I only get a black screen with the front facing camera. Any thoughts?
Maybe a bad camera?
When installing, my whole head unit (radio), clock, and USB have no power. No clue what I did. I followed the instructions but now I’m lost. Anyone have this issue? I’m a 2019 4Runner and have the OEMAudio+ system. Love the videos! Hope someone can help!!
Hi. Do not need any fuse?
Great video does the back up camera still turn on automatic when shift in to reverse
It does still come on automatically.
@@WanderlostOverland thank you 😊
Did you notice that the wires in the kit were different gauges? Even some wires that connect together like the red wire that connects to the two greens were a different gauge in my kit. Making sure I wasn’t the only one and is that really safe?
I think all ours were the same gauge. Maybe the maker changed things. I wouldn't worry about it. The maker seams to know what he's doing, and there is very few amps going through any of the wires anyways.
Installed my camera and used the efi 10amp fuse and my camera led stays on ???
Hi Do you have any issue with the switching relay after more than one year of usage?
My front camera is working properly.
However, my reverse camera shows black display from time to time.
Reverse camera shows black display in the rear position or when in reverse, when I opened up the radio to examine the relay and wiring connections, then reverse camera will work again without finding any problem.
No problems with ours, yet.
Thanks
great video! only you didn't explain how to power it to the battery
Positive power comes through the harness on the back of the radio, and the ground is where we bolted it down near the switch. Hope that clears it up for you. Thanks for watching!
@@WanderlostOverland thank you
Would this work on other after market infotainment systems and cameras such as Kenwood?
I'm not sure, sorry.
Any reason not to mount that front camera under the car? Could it be used to see if you are about to scratch up your precious underside?
That's not a bad idea! There's bound to be away to mount it so it's protected.
Does the harness work for 2019 sienna?
So I had to replace the camera. Now it works properly. Only thing now is getting the illumination to work. Any idea why it doesn't work. I've wired them as said , but the blue light the illuminates the camera icon on the switch doesn't light up. Any suggestions?
I’m having a similar issue. Where did you connect your blue and gray wires? That’s what I’m trying to figure out now.
@@TheDrunkSoviet look to the left of your steering wheel for the illumination switch. Open the area under the steering wheel to get to the back of it. Reach up and facing you at the back of the switch squeeze and pull. You will see the green wire and the grey wire. The blue from your camera switch goes to the green wire and get grey goes to grey.
@@rjuan1237 I’ve got my camera switch in the center console next to ECT switch since I had some blank spaces. Will have to find a wire to splice into there or get some 16g wire to run under the steering wheel over to the left side of the wheel and splice the illumination wires where you’re indicating, which may be what I end up doing.
@@TheDrunkSoviet yeah I'm new at this wiring stuff so maybe the wire i got is too big , because its not working for me.
I don't see a point in having the front camera if you can not record video. Am I missing something here?
Yup, missing something. LOL For those of us who take our vehicles offroad this is an extremely valuable tool. It allows us to view the foreground for tire placement.
Will this work for the 5th Gen 4Runner from 2010-2013? I’m also planning on changing to an aftermarket head unit (Pioneer MVH 1400 NEX) because my entune head unit has been malfunctioning a good majority of the time. Will this work for aftermarket units also?
That's a question best answered by the maker of the system. www.anytimebackupcamera.com
11:23 the wires do match up but there’s a red and orange wire. What to do with them?
1:26 gets connected to the red and orange 9:38
Two places with UA-cam how tos are sold out. FML.
Does the rear camera still work automatically when shifted in reverse?
Yup!
@@WanderlostOverland
Groovy!
Thank you for your videos
Which wire powers the switch backlight? My backlight seems have stopped working.
If the backlight on your switch worked, then stopped working it's one of two things. Either the light in switch went bad, or either the + or - wire for the backlight has a bad connection.
@@WanderlostOverland I’ll pull it back out and check the connections for all the wires coming out of the switch, but what a bummer if the light went bad in less than 2 months.
@@WanderlostOverland appreciate your input btw and thanks for making this install video!
@@WanderlostOverland I guess the backlight was never hooked up. Pulled out the switch and nav unit and grey and blue wires aren’t connected to anything. Don’t see an easy way to splice into one of the other switches, where did you connect your blue and grey wires?
@@TheDrunkSoviet On our late model 4Runner we simply tied into one of the nearby switches. This is where we explain the colors of the wires we tied in to. 9:37
For some reason it only is working when in reverse. I'm assuming I did something wrong or have a bad connection or.... HELP. Thanks
It does sound like you did something wrong. I think you should take it back apart and run through the whole installation again. And make sure the grounds are good.
Did you figure out what you did wrong? Mine is doing the exact same thing 🧐
@@deehodge9881 Same problem here.
@@skidplatedamaged forgot to ground the wire that goes behind the head unit haha
@@deehodge9881 Thought got them all. But just have a black screen. Which one in this diagram? www.anytimebackupcamera.com/blogs/install-help/component-diagram
😁
Any discount codes from them?
Unfortunately no.
I just did this install on my ‘19 TRD. Check out this camera... if fits right inside your front Toyota emblem. iNewcow Car Front View Logo... www.amazon.com/dp/B00P2EN5J2?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
That is WAY cool! We didn't know this was out there. Thanks for sharing this with us!
@@WanderlostOverland It's a clear image, canted at a good angle for parking and approaching obstacles, doesn't have any lines on the screen, and is powered under the hood instead of back at the switch.
