Great video! Helped me install the camera I bought off Amazon. Be careful if you get that one, the bolt on the back is only 1/4", so don't drill a 3/4" like the video shows. The fishing through the rubber boot off the hatch back was the trickiest part especially getting the boot back on. Overall it was pretty easy, just time consuming.
Thanks for the video! Installed a backup camera from Amazon for $13 + $18 wireless transmitter so I didn't have to fish wires (highly recommend). I just tapped into the red and black wire @6:10 and did not use an adapter ($20 amazon). Took about 2 hours mostly finding where to tap into power and video. Tips: Get a 170° camera $13 Buy a wireless transmitter $18 Buy T-Taps for your wires $4 Buy the adapter to save time $20 Carefully remove the stock camera panel 00:28 it is held by two clips on the sides. Don't break this!
I was thinking I'd get a camera and install it myself. After seeing this video, I know that I can do it in two easy steps: 1. Buy camera; 2. Pay somebody to install it. Seriously, though, I'm glad I saw this video before ordering a camera because I just bought my Prius about three hours ago. If I tore into it that far my wife would kill me and I'd probably break more than a few things. This video just saved my hiney.
It really wasn't that hard. The worst part is threading the wire through the black rubber seal/tube thing. Everything else was pretty straight forward. The panels come off and go back on easily, you just have to take your time and be gentle. I'm really glad I did it myself.
Vares65 Is your camera centered ( the display abd guidelines). Because I installed the camera on the original emplacement and I got off centered guidelines
No, it angles downward a little too much but it's still usable. The directions mention that it might need some shims to get the angle just right but the problem is that it would be very difficult to get the plastic insert the camera is attached to back out to adjust the angle. I've been trying to decide if it's worth the effort or not. It's perfectly functional right now, mostly it's an aesthetic thing.
Sir, I admire your desire to enlighten others. I see many things I would have done differently. Only saying that because been on the field for about 35 yrs.
The camera they send you is different that the one in the video. the fast forwarding of the video gives you a headache as you try and follow the steps. I have to rewind over and over because they do not show you the steps as the actually are in your car.
David Moody Hi, Rockledge securities would not sell to me, only Toyota dealers. A friend at Toyota parts dept. contacted them and bought it for me. The box it came in says RVC-TOY no numbers. It is working great ! Kimo
Did it, but it took me almost 4 hours! Used WD40 for the lubricant because I didn't have any silicon lubricant. Getting through the rubber hose was probably the hardest part along with fishing here and there. Will help to have something to fish. They use a long white ziptie in the video but that is not provided.
Any idea if there is enough room for another thicker wire? I work in IT so I have access to fish tape/sticks(fiberglass pole) and wire lubricant. The fish sticks/tape is about as thick as a large wire.
+2TwoOne1 I tried to get it off as well, ended up breaking it. But at least I was able to figure out the part number on the back: 76812-47030 May as well just buy a new part and destroy the old one.
I used a combination of lever in the hole prying enough to open a gap, then I used the trim tool to shove in there and lever it out from the side. It took quite a bit of force, but it's doable. The retention clips are very large, one on each side, so that's what makes it difficult.
Oliver what a great video!, i just bough a 2013 Prius wiht the same Radio, i am not sure your location but i will try to find a goos shop that can do this or i'll do it my self.
Anyone figure out how to get the license plate light assembly out? The video jumps from remove bulb connector to the light being loose. There are a couple clips that looks like if you press in they will release, but no go on my 2010.
This was a difficult piece to get out. I probably did it wrong, but I just kept on prying on it and increased pressured until it popped out! When I put it back, it is a little looser than before, but it still works fine.
This camera has the grid lines with is what I need.I wonder why this won't fit a 2010 Prius 4 with the JBL Navigation.I have a backup camera but Toyota didn't add the grid lines which is almost useless
I have this installed in my mother's Prius. The system does not go to camera when put into reverse. Was hoping for some help troubleshooting. The car had some water in it from Harvey. 7:00 debugging
The video refers to the fishing white "plastic wire" at around 2:20 marker. That does not seem to be included in the package. Do you need to buy it separately?
Hola donde puedo comprar la cámara y el adaptador para instalar en el radio original de fabrica de mí prius 2013, ponga el link abajo del video gracias.
I just installed a camera in my 2012 Prius and it works great. The part number for the camera is: Rostra RearSight Wedge Mount Back Up Camera for Toyota - Part # 250-8147-TOY. brought the camer off Ebay for $157.95 free shipping and the 4pcs Auto Car Radio Door Clip Panel Trim Dash Audio Removal Installer Pry Tools for $3.15
I followed these instructions and was able to install the backup camera! Thank you so much!! In case it would help anyone, here is the camera I installed and the harness used. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07H852D49 www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07ZPPXZC6
I got the SallyBest camera from Amazon: amzn.com/B00VUSVM8U This seems to be the camera that they used. I hooked it up directly to an aftermarket stereo and it works. Had a bunch of mishaps along the way though. I snapped the composite video cable while trying to thread it through the rubber gaskets. I didn't use lubricant, so it didn't move through very smoothly. I ended up splicing the cable back together with a soldering iron and electrical tape, so it worked out for me. All in all, it was fraught with a lot of problems on the way, but it was a good learning experience for me.
I would test if the camera works before replacing all panels :)
Great video! Helped me install the camera I bought off Amazon. Be careful if you get that one, the bolt on the back is only 1/4", so don't drill a 3/4" like the video shows.

Bryan Galaz hello
Could you please tell me if the display of camera including guidelines were centered?
Because the emplacement is off centered.
Best played with sound off and at .25 speed. Great video explanation!
Thanks for the video!

Can I ask what camera/wireless transmitter you got? That sounds way easier, but i didnt see any that seemed compatible

Vares65 so your guidelines are correct?
They are not a bit off centered to the left? Because of the physical emplacement of the cam?
why shoot in b&w?
where are you getting the power supply from? How is the reverse camera triggered?
Great video. Will be installing my wife's backup camera this week. Thank you.
Sir, I admire your desire to enlighten others. I see many things I would have done differently. Only saying that because been on the field for about 35 yrs.
This is such a great video, thank you. It has everything you need to know to install the backup camera.
Thankyou for the Vidz you guy are the man!!
The camera they send you is different that the one in the video. the fast forwarding of the video gives you a headache as you try and follow the steps. I have to rewind over and over because they do not show you the steps as the actually are in your car.
Excellent ! I installed it in 2 1/2 hrs. works great.
What is the part number for the Camera Kit? :)

Yeah, there's quite enough room for a thicker wire. I actually ended up snapping my video cable along the way and had to solder it back together.
Jonathan Yen hello
Was the display of camera snd guidelines centered?
Because the emplacement was off centered
This video being in color and NOT sped up would've made it 2x as helpful.
How the heck did you get that plastic piece off so easily after you drilled it? 3 plus hrs still can't get the thing out

On the reverse bulb wires. Which wire is positive and which is negative? So i can tap into it. 2014 prius three
Did you figure it out. He also didn't show how he wired it to the reverse wire unless he didn't do that.
Oliver what a great video!, i just bough a 2013 Prius wiht the same Radio, i am not sure your location but i will try to find a goos shop that can do this or i'll do it my self.

DARRYL PHILLIPS wonderful video‼️‼️ I’m with one of the other commentators step 1 buy camera step 2 call someone else to install 😄🤣😂
Wow! you made it look easy. Can you install one on my 2012 Prius Please! LA/OC California.
I have this installed in my mother's Prius. The system does not go to camera when put into reverse. Was hoping for some help troubleshooting. The car had some water in it from Harvey.
7:00 debugging
The video refers to the fishing white "plastic wire" at around 2:20 marker. That does not seem to be included in the package. Do you need to buy it separately?
That's just a hard plastic wire that he's using to get the wires through more easily.
does this method work for Prius C and if not, will you please make a video for backup camera install for Prius C?
Where did you buy it?
Is it an oem camera?
Thanks
HI, do you know how to remove the orignal antenna?
Hi there, I couldn't ask on your camera install video because comments were disabled. Which camera did you use ?
I love your video clip. Would you send me the website where I can order an adapter for 2012 prius pls
www.amazon.com/dp/B00IW8B29K?th=1
Make sure to pick the right color.
I did not see the 2 white wires from the camera cable(1:35) included in the package, what's that?
That makes the lines in the picture appear or disappear.
Would this work for a 2010 Prius II?
Tip for watchers: Slow the video down. Music is still Jazzy!

David Moody hello David
Could you please tell me if you got a centered display including guidelines or not?
Because the emplacement is off centered
Where did you buy the camera and harness cable?
Same questions, did you buy it?
@@jjccarana This is the harness I bought and it worked perfectly! www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07ZPPXZC6
For that rubber part between the trunk and the body of the car . . . lube will save your day.
I followed these instructions and was able to install the backup camera! Thank you so much!! In case it would help anyone, here is the camera I installed and the harness used. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07H852D49 www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07ZPPXZC6
UHHHHHHM, no. haha, mad props for this, but I would not be able to do all this. I agree with Mr. Green down there HAHA!
Camera install video for Camry and Prius that is.
is it 6V camera or 12V?
It should be 12V. I did it with a 12V on mine anyways.
Color video would be better.
Haha! Love the jazzy music!
wrong choose for black and white video
Very very quick and no explanation
way way too much trouble!
hi I thumb down because it's black and white I don't see any color K thx
im wondering if he did it on purpose so we cant see the colors of the cables and find out which ones it is...
How to do w/o that factory harness ?
I got the SallyBest camera from Amazon: amzn.com/B00VUSVM8U
This seems to be the camera that they used.
