    Great video and super helpful, thanks for struggling along with one hand for our benefit. Any reason to think an install on a 2014 Camry LE hybrid would be any different?

    • @Repairsbyctop
      @Repairsbyctop  2 роки тому +2

      I think on the LE model you have to use a different kit and you'll need to get to the back of the radio but I'm not sure if its the same for the hybrid model.

    Very helpful video. Thank you. My Camry XLE hybrid is different from this car. The camera plug is hidden under a plastic air duct that has to be removed from the console to make the attachment. To lift out the duct, you'll need to remove two brackets, one metal and one plastic, which cross the inside of the console. None of this is hard. Also, my driver's side rear seat back does not fold down. I fed the camera wire through an existing wiring port, which was just under the left trunk-lid hinge, then tucked it behind the seat-back edge and the weatherstripping. The camera works as advertised.
