Toyota Prius 2011 B9016 IPA replace by Android Sandocom haed unit project

Very detailed write-up. Nicely done!

 

I bought the same android head unit and my car is 2012 toyota prius with jbl and premium nav. The only difference is I do not have an IPA.

I want to keep the oem backup camera and the seller (sadocom) said he will provide the harness but If I connect that harness won't it damage the backup camera because it needs 6v? does the sadocom head unit or the harness convert the voltage to 6v for the backup camera or I have to manually add in a step down converter?

Thanks.

 

Hey, Im about to do the same install, but im not sure how to make the IPA connector cable. Any chance you got some pictures of your cable? Is it connected from the IPA-ECU to the Headunit?
Would a 'Axxess AX-TOYCAM2-6V' be any use here at all?

 

Very nice documentation. My 2 cents. I put an android unit in a 2010 Prius with JBL but not factory navigation. For this model the canbus box is necessary to use the JBL amp. It is not needed for steering wheel control. I didn't have a factory backup camera. My car doesn't have IPS. I believe the canbus decoder would have routed video to the HU, not 100% sure. A nut driver, or socket, did a good job removing the 4 bolts holding the factory radio in the dash.

Your picture isn't clear, at least to me. Where did you install the GPS antenna? How did you wire it?

 

(In Dutch since youre from NL and it might make the question more clear) -- Dus ik heb een IPA systeem, die ik verder niet gebruik, de Sadocom ligt klaar om in te bouwen, maar ik wil dus eigenlijk de originele camera behouden. Kan ik de stekker van de camera uit de IPA ECU halen en die dan met een eigen stekker aansluiten op de Sadocom? Of moet ik een andere camera inbouwen? Liever niet natuurlijk, achterklep uit elkaar halen klinkt als een onprettig project.

(In English for future reference) I have the Sadocom ready to go, and an IPA I don't really use, but I still want to retain the camera itself. Dont really care about the guide lines. Can I unplug the camera from the IPA ECU and shove it in the Sadocom with a custom cable?

 

I got it installed and everything is working including oem backup camera but I am having one annoying issue.
After starting the car and it wakes up from sleep exactly after 2.5 mins it will turn off mobile data and turn it back on. It does this every time.

If I disable sleep mode and it does a full boot when car starts this issue doesn't happen so its somehow related to waking up from sleep.

The problem this is causing it that waze drops internet connection when this mobile data toggle happens and I have to restart waze to get the connection back.

Any ideas on how to prevent this toggle from happening?

 

Sorry for the late reply, but I'm having a hard time understanding which kind of harness I need in order for the steering wheel controls to work. Right now, I have a very crude harness installed (it was the only one available at the local auto parts store) and most things don't work.

What is puzzling me though is that all of my steering wheel controls stopped working. I cannot control the gauge cluster at all since along with the media SWC also the A/C and trip/disp SWC stopped working. Is this normal, or did I break something?

Your guide has pictures of 2 different harnesses, one with a canbus decoder and one without. You also mentioned that a canbus decoder is necessary to retain the steering wheel controls. Could someone please point me to a compatible harness since I'm having a hard time finding one?

 

Thank you for your notes. Can you please clarify, after your install did the IPAS continue to work? i.e. I understood you could use the original camera but was assisted parking functionality retained ?
