backup camera install

lithoman · Oct 30, 2006

New owner of a 2006 limited with the factory nav system installed. What I want is backup camera that is plug and play with my factory nav system. It sound like the BEC 105 Eclipse will work. So I ordered one last night on ebay 175.00 with shipping.I am alittle nervous on the install. I am not sure how to run the wires from the back to the nav system..It sound like some were stopping at the dome light.Also removing the dash....???? I do not have a DVD entertainment installed as we speak. I am planning on getting one though. My Toyota dealership recomended a business for aftermarket DVD players.
I stopped in and asked a few questions. They said that the dvd could not tie in with the nav system. The same with a backup camera. Well I know that is BS just by what i have been reading in the forums. It could be liability issue.I feel that the ultimate lockpick can solve the dvd problem playing on the nav system. But i need some help with the install ....ie.. dash removal and wire fishing from point a to b.

Thanks Ronnie

Well, your dealership is feeding you a line of BS. I bought a 2006 Sequoia in Feb. and since then I've added both a back-up camera, and DVD video to my front NAV screen. (An IPOD interface as well)

Sadly I didn't do the labor myself, I had an auto electronics store do the work, so I can't help you there. But I do know that they installed a central gateway that integrates seamlessly into the Nav/Audio headunit. My Sequoia came with the rear seat DVD ent. ctr., so it was a simple matter to hook up the video feed to the Nav screen. The DVD audio was already there from the factory. I can watch and even control the DVD player from the touchscreen, but the video does not work when the vehicle exceeds 4mph. It's a great way to pass time in the drivers seat while waiting for the kids.

The $150 BEC-105 is the same as the factory backup camera option which is like $900. The company that makes Eclipse is the same company that makes the factory Toyota head units; Fujitsu Ten.

Here's how I installed my backup camera. http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/t158870.html
