2004 Grande GPS back panel connectors

[Way2go Member Find all posts View Profile Close Way2go]

Hi there, does anyone have a photo of the back panel for the factory GPS in dash unit in a 2004 Grande? Or a diagram of the back panel?

I'm hoping to be able to identify the connector for a reversing camera (to get the right adaptor cable) as well as to identify the connector socket for the CD changer - my changer decided to give up the ghost last week, so I'm thinking about one of the iPod cables that uses the CD changer socket to run the iPod. Got to be cheaper than replacing the whole unit, and I don't see any CD changers for sale by themselves...

Thanks in advance,

Steve

Looks like one of these should complete the reversing camera install (into the socket on the bottom left of your pic Craig):

And one of these should be able to replace the CD stacker connection (which I think is the top right black connector - is that a 12 pin plug on your unit Craig?):

Those connectors looks like the Way2go to me
Good to see that reversing camera loom back. It went absent for a few years.

I've just done mine in my 2004 Grande. This article really helped. http://www.lcool.org/technical/120_s...ra/camera.html
But I found that the single green reverse wire he had pictured, my plug had 3 wires in it, and the reverse wire was red/black. I had to run power from the left hand kick panel reverse wire to this wire. For some reason, Toyota didn't power it up. I needed that four pin plug to RCA connector. And I ordered this camera in NTSC off ebay. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/261749110367. Hope this helps

Thanks for the info (I'm just getting back into sorting this out!)

Your eBay camera looks the same as mine (except mine is black, not clear, plastic where the camera mounts).

Are you saying that you had to wire up power to the red/black wires that were already in the 'reverse sense' plug with the green reverse wire, as well as plug the camera in - using the adaptor for the RCA camera wire - to the camera socket?
