| 2012 Camry Back up Camera
Does anyone know any shops that can install a factory back up camera for 2012 Camry other than the dealership? Needing it to be hooked up to the in car screen, can't seem to find any places that could do it other than the dealer which would cost a bit. Any recommendation would be appreciated!

Hmm... IIRC, the Back up camera was only $300 as an option wasn't it? Anyways; look for some car electronic shops, maybe audio shops can help you there too since they install those DVD players as well.

Unless it requires an animal sacrifice, I would think the our sponsors, like SoundsGood, can easily handle that job.

Will they sacrifice an animal of their own, or would I need to provide my own animal for the sacrifice?

The SE doesn't come with back up cam. To install it at Toyota Dealer it's 899+tax. A bit steep.

OP probably doesn't want to run over his kids.
Just out of curiosity, why could Soundsgood not do it?

Send soundsgood the ebay link and ask again.

in theory:
use mini-tap-a-fuse and tap into aux fuse panel for 12v. ground black wire to near by screw.
pull up the side trim pieces and run wire to trunk.
power camera.
make sure to run through existing wire loom to trunk to make sure things are hidden and clean looking.
i'm not really confident with pulling the head unit. but if you could pull it i could help you wire it. that camera on ebay looks pretty decent.

I sent soundgood an email with the link and schematic just waiting to hear back.
They told me with the new cars, there some programming with the onbaord screen they don`t have access to and wouldn`t be able to do unless they saw the instructions first.

If you google 2012 camry aftermarket camera there is a 10+ page thread on this on a very large toyota community forum.
Browse through there and I'm sure you'll find what you need.

The camera on ebay assumes you have an RCA input in your headunit, if it doesn't then you will need to replace it. It is an aftermarket camera not an OE one. Quote:
