Install a backup camera on a yaris 2010?

Glad you got it through.

It's mostly pull off panels from there on, or just tuck the cable under the edges of the trim while keeping clear of the airbags.

...I didn’t actually get through it. Been pretty much a nightmare. Running the rest of the cable was okay, tapping the break light was nearly impossible, 3 different taps all failed to work. Ended up taking it to an auto electrician who agreed it was a particularly fiddley and annoying job, took him well over an hour simply to connect the two wires.

Then once finally got power to the camera discovered my OEM head unit is wired strangely and have had to send the adaptor harness back to be replaced.

Saw the camera display in an external monitor for about 10 seconds, after all this time that is as close as I’ve gotten.

It's the project that just keeps on going...Finally...got the replacement harness today. Completely wrong, does not even plug into the head unit.

This is an epic.
