Time lapsed build thread

[tstead60]

I bought a 4th gen Toyota 4runner in 2012 and since then it's been one long work in progress. Updating, fixing, re-updating etc.

I'm basically just going to post a bunch of pictures up here so that I actually have a "build thread".View attachment 71499View attachment 71500View attachment 71501View attachment 71502View attachment 71503View attachment 71504View attachment 71505View attachment 71507View attachment 71508View attachment 71510

Dang might be hitting you up for tips on that. Pretty easy install? Did you have to by a camera with it?

If your model comes stock with the factory camera, then you use a transistor that bucks the 12 volts down to 6 volts for the Toyota camera. Then you splice the video data line and ground from the factory wire harness to an aux video cable and plug it into the back of the head unit.

I'm actually thinking about switching to an Android auto unit and running the USB c cable to little tray where the outlet is by the gear shift. So we'll see how long that unit stays in there.
