  • head unit / rear camera info please

    Hi Guys , been a member a few years just lurking in the shadows. I have a 2008 gxl 3.0 d4d prado since new and I have managed to score a PZQ60-000535 head unit from a 2013 hilux.

    From other threads I am led to believe that all I need to get the head unit working Is x2 adapters pzq60-00141 and pzq60-00161 which I have on order from my local dealer for $43.

    Now my question is what reversing camera can I get to work with the head unit? do I need a genuine toyota or can I trawl the bowels of eBay for a $30 unit?
    Is it better to pay for a decent camera or do the cheap chinese units work?

    I am also led to believe that my car is prewired for a camera........Still to check in the rear door panel. Does anyone know it the connector for the cable to the camera behind the stock radio will fit directly into the PZQ60-00535 or do I need an adapter? and is the reverse signal pre wired?

    If anyone has any manuals/wiring diagrams or details on the connectors or wiring colour codes for either my stock radio/cd player or the new PZQ60-000535 it may help me with the transfer.

    Any recommendations ,advice or comments are most welcome.

    Cheers Karl

    I have used this adapter to connect a generic ebay reverse camera to the back of a genuine Toyota head unit.

        It was on someone else's car which was a Camry. I got the same Toyota headunit as mine (as per this thread https://www.pradopoint.com.au/forum/...er-toyota-unit) installed in their Camry.
        The ebay link does not exist anymore but the title description matches this one.

          Ok guys, update time.

          At last got round to fitting the head unit,
          radio working no probs. GPS not picking up a signal, I guess I'll need an antenna.

          a couple of questions though.
          where can I pick up the reverse signal for camera near dash?
          why do I need a park signal to head unit?
          what is the speed sensor signal required for?
          are all of these 12v pos Inputs or is neg inputs used?

          Cheers guys

            You could pick up reverse from the shifter wifing loom, park signal is normally for the handbrake to stop people watching movies whilst car is running. To bypass this just earth your cable.

            the speed cable is used to adjust the volume by a particular percentage depending on speed of vehicle. Eg if you have it at vol 4 doing 40kmh it will auto increase it to 9 when doing 100kmh. (Numbers used for example reference only)

            references can be pos or neg depending. They can also be voltge / impedence variable.

                nxt problem...........

                Connected the reverse signal wire and the brake signal both register on the head unit ( you can check in an system info tab)
                Tried to connect the camera via the prewired cable on my 2008 GXL but no joy.

                if I connect the reverse signal wire and select reverse gear will the 4 pin out connector camera output automatically put out a voltage or does a camera need to be connected?

                any help with connecting an after market ebay camera would be appreciated.

                anyway i cant manage to get a camera to work.......

                help please?

                    Hey, sorry been off for b a while. The rear camera will need a power feed, so check that there is switched power thatbwill come on whilst the ignition is on. You should have a pos and neg.
                    some wil use this to always have the camera powered on, and it will switch the dispaly to show the already powered camera whilst reverse is activated.

                    others wiĺ run a 3rd wire that switch the wire on from a 3rd wire in the rear of the 4wd from the reverse light circuit. (This is alot more common.) If this is the case you will have when the ignition is on, a 12v possitive and negative, and also a switched positive when reverse is selected. Thats what i would be looking at for starters, then to make sure the signal cable is good all the way to the head unit.

                    the only thing that i can forsee being a reason for no power to the curcuit is a dud plug, or its not powered up for your varient of prado and may need a fuse installed.

                    let me know how you get on.

                    regards, matt
