Backup Camera - Toyota Yaris Forums

Beba · 06-01-2013, 01:30 PM

I thought that on the third generation yaris the camera is already installed by default! Any way I have a question regarding the camera and the display monitor.

This camera comes in very handy when I park the car but the display I have a few issues with. For one during the day if the sun is shining on the LCD touch screen I can not see any thing. I got an Ipad screen protector and I plan to cut out the 4.3 inch square to use on the monitor. It cost me 15 euros but I could not find any thing for an 4.3 inch screen and when I went around asking for it people looked at me like I have too much time on my hands or some thing.

The other thing that bothers me with the touch screen is that when I am not using my rear camera it is of no use to me. So if I had my way I would just turn it off but I do not think that is possible or better yet to continue showing the rear camera and possible recording it. Of course I know that the last part would involve some additional hardware but I think that is an investment that may one day pay off in the case of some accident especially if there was also a front camera set up in the car some where and I could record that as well.
