- This is how I installed my dash cam/reverse camera with completely hidden wiring on my 1999 Toyota Camry. I have no electrical/automotive experience but was able to figure this out with a few days of research so let me know if this is helpful.

Amongst all video I watch, this is the only one I really understand. Great job n you make this simple and doable for people like me who have no knowledge about electrical wiring inside a car
I like Lauren's video, no special tools, no fancy equipment, just the real deal.
You say you have no automotive or electrical experience, but I've seen some pretty horrible installs from so-called "experts." Nice job overall!
As someone who has installed countless car stereos and electrical accessories to cars, I feel compelled to point out that you've shown a lot of great tips here.
Your power lead splicing to the reverse light circuit is the best way to tap into that circuit without the "official" tap connector, and probably more secure than a tap connector too!
You are also absolutely right about using a QUALITY electrical tape - I refuse to use anything other than 3M brand, it's the only electrical tape I've found to be durable enough to withstand the weather and temperature extremes found in automotive applications. Most of the cheaper brands lose adhesion quickly, and the Dollar Store variety rolls tend to be made up of several small strips that often end right in the middle of use. If it's worth doing, it's worth doing the RIGHT WAY the FIRST TIME.
If I had to nitpick anything, it would be a lack of a grommet where the camera's cable passes through the trunk lid. The silicone you planned on squirting in the hole will probably be good enough to prevent damage to the wire...
How many miles on your Camry? Mine's at 358,000 right now. I hope your baby gives you many many miles of satisfaction.
Speaking of using a grommet, do you have a link to buy one?
Thank you for simplifying the reverse wire connection process for me. Minus the unnecessary editorial. Running the cables will probably be the easiest thing to do.
So far the best guide on camera installation..perfect
I watched over 15 videos so I know exactly how to set up. This was the only video that explained it in full detail. Thank you.
Loved the simplicity of this! Most video tutorials by men were confusing as hell, didn't go into detail, i was confused by what i was seeing exactly, and most of the time skipped over how to install that red wire entirely. I got a honda civic and been trying to figure out my own way of slinking the wire through my trunk. And I just needed to see how someone else installed their camera on the outside.
Great instruction! No negatives whatsoever! I have done several. Your guidance is right on! Glad to see as a woman you are involved with your car! Refreshing!
Really one of the better video on mirror cam installation, subscribed! Keep making more stuff, very straight forward.
This was the clearest and most helpful tutorial I saw after watching at least 10. Thanks!
Same! Thank you!
I totally agree. Clear and simple to understand. Well done Lauren.

That's what down to earth people do...we help each others out, at least I do!!! Blessings to you and stay safe!!! ✨️🙏🏿✨️
How do I do on hybrid cars. Like camery and lexus hs250
Where did you buy this model of mirror back up camera
What about the black (ground) wire from the camera? Where did you connect the black wire from camera to? What year is your Camry?
I have to install a similar backup camera on a 2010 Camry, but as it partially obscures the word “Texas” on the license plate, I have to move the plate down some to eliminate that. Ugh.
Thanks for the video.
In the splicing video, the comments say that electrical tape might not be enough to keep the wires from degrading. Have you had any issues? I live somewhere with lots of frost so I'm a bit worried...
Thanks for watching Ying. Winters definitely get below freezing here, its been a year or so since I installed the camera and haven't had any problems so far.
Before you start drilling holes in your vehicle and ripping off molding that never goes back as good as when it came from the factory make sure the back up camera is working correctly

What is the name
Is the red wire necessary?
The one I had worked without it being connected, but then it just stopped working - even after connecting it to power.
Thinking someone might have messed with the camara at some point - some people hate being recorded...
What did you use to drill a hole with?
A metal drill bit attached to a power drill. Would recommend to go slow and make the hole as small as possible so that it is easier to seal.
@@laureng3526 okay, I tried doing that just now, but how big are we supposed to make the hole? I noticed that yours is kind of small, but I can't get the wire in cause of the video/audio puts. Did you have to make the hole bigger to fit it in?
@@anthonygarcia3922 it'll depend on your model of camera, but I made mine just big enough so that it could fit through. The end of my wires had a connector that was bigger in diameter, so the hole also had to fit that
You better off buying a parralel wire tap or soldering.

What is the name of the camera
Shows ladies can do better job if given the chance.
Buy a vehicle with backup camera built in.
