Rear view camera for a 2006 Prius

Had a very similar question and there is a lot of confusing questions and answers due to different models. Mine a 2006 T4 that does not have navigation or the camera but in 2006 the display was changed for that year model in the UK to the higher resolution ones and supposedly if your steering wheel on the T4 has the nav and voice controls then you have the newer display. Now mine does so in theory I should also be able to get the camera and if so desired the nav and retrofit this as plug and play. BUT like yourself looking at pictures of the MFD and the connectors on the rear I did not see any video inputs like the cheap cams on ebay come with but large connectors either 28 or 40 pin and so far no one has a clear answer on the UK forums at least of what on earth we need.

From further looking into it basically with yours as you have the navigation you splice it into the harness with the correct live wires etc that goes from your navigation system to the MFD :S

Hello, I would like to ask the same question. I have the 01/2006 Prius with Navigation and voice, but no rear camera. Can I buy OEM camera from ebay and just plug it in (costs about 120 Dollars and has only one connector to plug in)? Or should I go with the cheaper ones with the wires and more complicated installation?

Thank you very much for your answers.

 

These instructions don't say much :/
There is really no full thread, is it possible and how to set up a 2gen camera?
Someone will help?

I'm a new owner looking for backup camera options as well. I've found this http://www.coastaletech.com/CAMERALOCKPICK.htm but it is a bit expensive, but it does integrate well, meaning it will turn on/off as you go into and out of reverse.

For less than that price you can get a camera and screen solution on Amazon, and really cheap on eBay. If you go the cheap camera and screen route, you will most likely have to turn it on/off manually. You can install a small screen on your drivers side sun visor relatively easily (may need some Velcro tape to keep the visor from falling with the extra weight).

 

I also saw the lockpick set, but its price is abstract ... for $ 200 you can have a 360° with 4 cameras set from "Chinese friends"

However, I found information in one of the threads about the possibility of changing the screen to "HD" Which it already has from what I understood output to an AV camera.

The second clue is information from the lockpick specification> this module changes the signal from AV to RGB (or something like that)... Means that you can try with converters or home adapters.

I don't know if I will find enough time to play with it, the 360 ° sets from Ali really caught my eye, on the other hand it would be nice to have a picture on one screen since it is already there, instead of cluttering the board.
