OMG what a great video! My son and I just installed a back up camera and apple car play interface for his 2009 4-Runner! Your video was SO easy to follow - thanks again!
Is it a v8? 09? Trairunner edition?
Thank you for showing the process to get the wife fed in. Just ordered a camera online and knew CZcams had the answer!
Thank you so much for this video. Quick to the point and very informative. I followed it step by step. The only hard part was fishing the wire with the hanger. I zip tied that wire so well, I still don’t dare roll that back window down 😂
Going to try this now!
Super useful details-especially at the hatch wire routing!👏
Thanks!
Thank you for the great video. Hardest part was fishing the wire through the liftgate/back door.
Great video ! Sure wish I knew what a loom or reloom is !
Awesome tutorial
Not the easiest backup camera to install, but certainly doable!
Also, for accessory power, you can tap into license plate lights on most vehicles because they are on with accessory power
Thanks for the video, I'm doing the same install. I was wondering, though, why you chose to install the wire through the driver side and ignition area, instead of the less-busy passenger side with it's easy-access behind the globe-compartment?
Hii thanks so much for the video, I have a doubt do we need to buy a cable for the length needed to install the backup camera? Or the ones that comes with the screen and cámara is enough? Thanks
Awsome 👍
Hi, great video. I have a question about the wiring. Instead of running the separate "trigger wire", couldn't you just connect the trigger wire that comes with the reverse camera to reverse camera power and then bring that to the front (with the yellow video connection) and then plug the trigger wire at the other end into accessory? Then simply run a wire from the trigger wire behind the head unit to the brake wire under the dash that is powered when you put it in reverse. This is the red/yellow wire under the dash.
For those models with the factory nav and backup camera, can you use the existing camera with a new aftermarket radio?
Nice very nice
Hey I bought my car used and it has a very similar radio and backup camera, but the backup camera isn't working. Any idea on how to begin to troubleshoot?
Great job my hillbilly friend.
What do you do with the parking brake by pass
I’m doing option 1 so I just run it to the stereo and connect my red to violet white and plug my rca into the pioneer stereo
Are you in Provo? I will drive there from Los Angeles LOL! I need this done for my mom's runner
Great tutorial thanks! I chose to go with Option 2. Hooked everything up, but I don’t think the cameras receiving power.
Do I need to complete the circuit with the red accessory pigtail by connecting it to itself back by the taillight?
No, it’s one or the other. If you connect one end to accessory and one end to the reverse light, you can backfeed your reverse circuit and cause damage. If the camera isn’t getting power, check your accessory wire or be sure it’s still grounded.
how long does it take?
The wire the powers the reverse light comes from the front. You didn’t need to run an additional wire. Just tap into the same wire you’re using in the back, just do it under the steering wheel
The rare 3rd row.. I've only read about them. If this thing is 4x4 it's a Unicorn.
What model of Sony radio is it?
Great video! With your implementation and this Sony unit, will the backup cam view interrupt CarPlay if it is active? I assume yes but I've read some stereos won't interrupt when you go into reverse if CarPlay is on.
Yes, all brand name units will interrupt any source to display the reverse camera as long as the radio's reverse trigger wire is properly connected.
im going Sony as well. Crutchfield recommended for the Jbl system T4R. and will supply dedicated connections.
Sp the front trigger wore connects to the acc. Where does the red trigger wire on the rear part on the harness connect to?
It doesn’t, we tape it off. Camera gets power from accessory up front, red wire back at the camera we insulate, and ground connects to ground of reverse light.
What kind of radio ?
Gone 10 years without a camera. After watching this pain in the ass, I'm happy without one
I'd like a backup and dash camera with loop recording, on when key is on lol
Hello, so basically if I want just a normal back up cam. Just hook it up to the reverse bulb both neg and positive and then the yellow rca to the radio and the remaining red wire to the purple white infront. Corrent? Thanks
You got it buddy.
I watched this video 8 times already and can’t figure out why my setup is not working. I had to extend my RCA cable because it was not long enough to reach the front of the car. Will the camera still get power if the cable is extended, but is only a regular RCA, not one with the auxiliary power wire? PLEASE HELP I’m so close to being done!
Send us a message on our facebook page and we can assist.
The 4runner I bought already has an aftermarket camera installed. Can I swap out the camera and just plug it into the existing wiring?
Depends on the camera, depends on the wiring. Maybe? Not every camera uses the same wiring harness.
I followed this guide and have made it all the way to the stereo using the second wiring option. However, I'm getting "No Signal" for the R-Cam. The trigger wire works, when I shift into the reverse, and the accessory wire shows 13V of current on the multi-meter. So that only leaves the RCA connector. Any thoughts?
Camera isn’t getting power. Ensure if wiring it to accessory, to ensure it’s connected as well as the ground.
Edit: I found out there was loose between the backup camera and the extension cable. I had to fish the connection back out, push the connectors together, tape the crap out of it, and pull it back in place.

Wow this was difficult 😅 I had a really hard time trying to get the cable through the channel in the side of the trunk
Yep, not a great design by Toyota!
I had a hard time as well , I was using fiber glass fishing Rod. I switched over to the wire hanger and Much easier. Now I gotta go through the boot, 😩
Where do you connect an aftermarket back up camera?
To the camera input of the radio.
Hello there! I’m in Utah and need a similar job for a 2005 4Runner how can I get in touch with you?
Send me a message on Facebook or Instagram
I did it verbatim how you said, and now my radio won't turn on unless I put it in reverse. I took everything apart, and made sure it was back to original wiring without backup camera, and the radio won't turn on at all now.
Sounds like a wiring issue. Check your fuses. If your radio only turned on while in reverse, you have some major wiring issues and potential blown fuses.
Refer to this video for your radio issue: czcams.com/video/xDjM0uB7fl8/video.html
Also ensure your backup camera is NOT powered by BOTH the reverse light and the accessory red wire. Doing so can cause major damage
Thank you. I figured everything out. The only thing now is I keep blowing the IG1 fuse which is the reverse trigger for the stereo. So everything is fine until I try to put it in reverse.
@@ProvoBeastAudio so just to reiterate, I disconnected that “extra purple wire” going from reverse positive power from tail light to reverse gear input signal. That stopped the fuse from popping and the camera still works when I select it on the stereo, but now I don’t have a trigger for when I go into reverse gear
i have the same car and i did everything the same shown in the video and im getting a black screen
Could the screen have problems? If screen was tested prior double check your wiring..
You keep mentioning that there are no trigger wires because it’s an old analog car. Cars still use the same electronic signals but with the addition of CANBUS, a digital signal that carries binary code, but you don’t use them for triggers anyway. So the comments about the old analog car are really ridiculous.
Just think about it, does the backup camera kit come with different equipment for connecting it up to a new digital car versus an old analog car ?
What radio is that i like it
Brother, need some big help. I was able to get the wires through to the tail light and ran to the front of the truck. I cleaned everything up to finish another day and now the tail gate doesn’t latch when closed. I was very careful through the process. Do you have a possible solution?
Unplug the harnesses from the lift gate modules on the driver side, remove the negative off of the battery, wait a few minutes, reconnect harnesses and negative on battery. That should reset the module in the lift gate.
I heard AC/DC playing in the back ground.....lol
Hola😅
Hey!
The video is helpful but he does a terrible job of explaining and talks too fast
Wow, thanks. I have people complain my videos are too long, or too short, or talk too much, or talk not enough. I can't satisfy everyone, so I do my best. I'm sorry it's not up to your personal standards.
Us old buzzards need it a little slower. Like having a 20 yr old tell you how to program your computer.
