Doesn't Eclipse ( Fujitsu ten ) makes OE camera and nav for Toyota ? Cos the factory Nav is totally Eclipse interface
What did you end up doing with the yellow "extra wire"? I can't get my rear camera to work.



Thanks, Brett
Those wires should be for power and ground. I would connect them all. But if you're using an aftermarket camera you may not need to go through all the hassle I went through, as that was due to needing to connect a stock Sienna backup camera which is 6V. Your Eclipse camera probably requires 12V to begin with, no?
There's a 4th yellow wire on the output of my Smakn 12v-6v reducer. Followed instructions exactly. Everything works except for the factory rear camera.
 
These threads have been very helpful, but I'm having an issue getting the backup camera to display on the aftermarket HU.

The basics:
-2012 Sienna LE with stock head unit Model P1842. Stereo and stock backup camera worked fine before all mods.
-Replaced HU with Pioneer AVIC-6100.
-Tapped into backup sensor wire at the wiring harness for the stock backup camera, and that works fine. When I put the vehicle in reverse, the screen on the Pioneer HU goes black and I see the distance lines.
-Tested the 'BC' input on the Pioneer HU by using an RCA input from a portable dvd player and it works fine. With that connected to the HU, when I put the vehicle in reverse I get an image.
-I stripped part of the wire for pin 14 (black wire, RCA +) and pin 15 (white wire, RCA -). I then cut an RCA cable and stripped back the coatings so I have an inner + bare wire and an outer ground/negative bare wire. When I connect those wires (inner RCA to black wire; outer ground to white wire), I'm not getting a backup camera image on my Pioneer HU. I do still get a backup image on the small stock screen.
-I used AlexApps.Net as a guide, plus the video that's in this thread http://www.siennachat.com/forum/67-mobile-electronics/156649-2012-toyota-sienna-stereo-unit-2.html as guides.

What am I doing wrong???
Here's a picture of the wires I'm using.
1 - white and black wires for rca
2 - Black + rca wire tap
3 - White - rca wire tap
4 - Successfully soldered backup sensor tap

Any input would be helpful. I'm going crazy here!! Of course this is the one thing the wife absolutely must have is the larger backup image and it's the one thing I CANT get to work! :mad:


Thanks,
Brian
i have sienna 2021 and need to add auxiliary or RCA how i can do
 
Hi, I just wanted to say thank you for the great write-up. I was able to follow this to install my Pioneer AVH-4000NEX in my 2013 Sienna XLE with factory NAV while retaining the factory backup camera.

Monster cable, only the best!

Steering wheel control plug and play and retain factory AUX IN port

12V -> 6V converter

USB retention cable

I used these to tap the video + / video -, backup camera power, and reverse gear sensor in the van so I didn't have to cut and splice any wires.

The only word of warning I will give you is if you have factory NAV like I did you might not be able to use any of the dash kits. My trim piece for the factory stereo was all one piece with the vents molded in!

I actually had to buy a different factory trim piece to make this all work, part # 5540508020B0. It's about $235 from a dealer new, but I managed to find one for $100 used from an auto recycler on eBay.


Overall I'm happy! It was a bit more than I wanted to spend to install but I'm excited to have Carplay back in my road trip vehicle!
I know this is a very old thread, but can you provide details for the wiring you used to retain steering wheel controls? Thanks!

This is a bit late but I used a "Metra Axxess ASWC-1 Steering Wheel Control Interface" from Amazon to retain the steering wheel controls. Looks like it's not made anymore but probably it's been replaced by a similar product. Not all of them were retained unfortunately but most of the important ones. I think only call or call end didn't work for me at the end. The programming part was the toughest part.
