Wiring of reverse camera - Toyota Yaris Forums

Camera wire behind the stereo - should have a red power wire that comes off the RCA yellow cable that carries the video. If it doesn't then run a totally separate wire from the reverse light (white light bulb in the rear) all the way to the head unit along the side trim/door panels.

Without it your head unit won't switch to the reverse video input. The wire is there to tell the head unit when to switch to that video feed.

I wired mine directly the lead on the backup light (white light bulb) and it turns on the rear view camera and switches my head unit to the reverse camera input automatically.
