Android Pure 4.2 Radio Non-JBL USA install

For anyone that installed the backup camera, would you be willing to field a few questions on the install? I don't want to thread jack and get in the way of the question at hand. Thank you for all of the input on this. I threw this in over the weekend and the info in here made it a lot easier.

 

Nah I didn't remove the fan. I'm not sure the impact as it pertains to the hands free. Which video did you look at?

 

Also if you are using a HU like this, I'm not sure I'd find a lot of value for a backup cam. By the time this HU boots up, I'm already reversed.

 

Good to know, so I assume once the backup camera is done going in reserve then it switches over to the HU booting in progress?

 

This guy has a good idea where to place the external mic

I'm going to try that tomorrow.

 

hey Prius2012fl, I'm interested in how you disabled the internal mic. Could you share that video? Also what external mic are you using?

For the fan, i swapped to a 40mm scythe SY124010L. It won't fit inside the case so I had to dremel some holes and mount outside. Noise is a lot more tolerable.

 

Thanks for the feedback.
After looking at everything the hookup seems pretty straight forward. I had a WinCE in my Corolla and it should hook up pretty much the same. Looking at the actual install of it, this where I get a little twitchy. It seems I am going to have to remove most of the hatch trim to get access to the license plate lights to do the physical camera install and then route the wires to the reverse light. I have watched a few videos and they make it look really easy. Did you run into any issues getting the plastic off the inside hatch area to get access to mount the camera? Did you have to remove any of the carpeting around the rear light access panel to get enough room to splice the wires in, or is there enough slack in the reverse light to pull it out and make the connections? I know this will take a while and want to be as prepared as possible going in.

 

I uploaded the video for the mic removable at Prius_HU_Mic.mp4 - Google Drive

Also, if you want to get into the factory settings go to "settings" "factory settings " then try the password: 126. There are a handful things you can adjust such as the start up logo, radio, audio settings, etc.

 

"Also what external mic are you using?"

Good question, I'm not sure as there are no details on the mic. When I complained about the mic issue, the vendor sent me one from China. I believe once I find a good location for the mic then that will be resolved.

I do want to fix the fan issue, it is too bad the fan is louder than the Prius. I noticed you grabbed a 40mm scythe SY124010L. If you had to do it over again, would you have gotten a smaller fan to fit? If so, what would you have recommended?

 

I would be too, this is clearly a defect on this unit. My seller said they were aware of others reporting issues so I believe they were just prepared to send these out. Otherwise, new ones of Amazon are around $20.
