How is the camera installed? Is there factory wiring already installed on a rav 4 without a camera?

I had the camera installed by a professional installer. I can tell you that the wiring is not already installed on RAV's that don't come with a Navigation system with camera. It took my guy less than an hour to do the entire installation, and it came out really nicely. Good luck.

I bought a wired camera that attaches over the licence plate. Had a car audio shop install both GPS and camera as they know tricks to run wires.

You have to wire the cameras from the dash to where ever the camera(s) are mounted. The Lockpick is installed behind the touch screen and has all the cabling it needs.

A power source is required. The install kit includes bracket for attaching to license plate. My Jeep has a factory back-up camera. I had [a national electronics chain store] install the camera as a FRONT mounted camera. When I want the camera to activate, I just tap the camera icon on the screen. It is wired in such a way that the camera and GPS are powered up by turning on my ignition. They power off when ignition is turned off. As a front mount camera, the image is reversed.Camera resolution is adequate though not great.

I wish I could answer that AlanM. I installed it however I was replacing an existing camera so everything was already in place. If you haven't already maybe contact the seller to see if they can help.

The kit comes with everything needed for installation. The only thing you need is a method to connect the power cable for the camera to your backup light.

Yes there will be a cable and and a power signal from the camera to the head unit Also you will have to power supply from your reverse or b a k up lights to turn on the camera All of this should be included in the kit except for maybe a few but connectors

Yes it does, i have bought a $20 camera from Amazon it works well. You will have to run wires from the front to the back and get power from the backup lights at the back harness. Wires come with the camera, depending on your vehicle you might need extension, mine did, i have a Van. I hope this helps.Bobby

the monitor is built into the new r/view mirror and snaps over your existing mirror. u then have to supply a power souce to the mirror with included wires. the camera bolts onto your license plate mounting holes(top holes). then u have to connect the camera to the reverse lights for power when put into reverse and the black wire to a good ground. good luck. buster

Yes it is like a plug-and-play feature. You mount the camera with included harness then run the wires Through the firewall of the vehicle and plug into the lock pick. The link I sent has everything included. InstructionsVery easy to follow.

My camera was professionally installed by a stereo electronics shop. It comes on about one second after the gear shift lever is put in reverse. It appeared that all of the necessary wiring harnesses were included. As some of the reviewers mentioned the hot and the ground leads are quite small in gauge.

The rear camera is wired to the front with a very long, fairly small diameter coax cable. I found it simple to route to the rear by following the edge of the roof liner and tucking it around the pillars. The hardest part was finding a place for the excess cable to hide.

Mine is in a Toyota Prius hatchback. The installation instructions are horrible. First I had to figure out how to get the inside panel off (you need a tool like a slim-jim). Just know what's where before you drill any holes. Try out the camera in various positions before you affix it to make sure you're going to see what you really want/need to see.

There are two tasks required to install these components. First you need to be able to dismantle enough of the trunk and headlining to access the necessary wires. (I was able to find diagrams and videos on youtube on how to do this on my car.) Second you need to be able to solder in order to connect the power wires for the mirror display and camera unit. If you can do those things you can install it yourself. Otherwise, you can find a technician.

The camera has its own power in the back of the car and mirror requires power in front of car you don't need to run wires from the back to the front

I already installed the camera and sensors on my car. I had it done professionally and it works and looks great.
