Prius C with Corolla Radio

Got my faceplate a couple days ago from JT Torres at Al & Ed's, and it looks great! I'm using it with the Highlander radio. Replacing the factory head unit with the Highlander head unit was ridiculously easy. The dash pieces pop off without tools, and the mounting brackets just use a standard phillips screwdriver.

This is JT Torres's faceplate for reference:

 

just bought a hl radio. now waiting on dash kit and some wiring to get the camera to work

 

eBay is my main source. You can get good deals on them for around 200-250 buy it now.

 

JT, you should try ebay...I was lucky enough to win a HL/Corolla radio for $130+$25 shipping

 

Here's one:

 

wouldnt the video input basically be attaching a switch to the reverse wire to trigger the unit into turning the screen on and then simply switching the cam video into a phone video? but its always more complicated then it seems. ill be interested for the right price of course.

 

JT Torres what do you working on? Kivic One?? Mimics? or the combination of two????

 

Wow, if i ever get a c this would be a great addition, I only wanted a II anyways and hated the cheap radio, dont see the extra money for nav that i wont use or alloys for my useage on the III

 

Alrighty I got the backup camera working. Pics later

 

So if a navigation version of this radio is bought, what will need to be done to get the navigation to work or is it all built into the unit?

Also how much is the faceplate kit and back up camera?

Thanks

 

When the pics?

 

oh lol, I wrote up a guide with somewhat pretty pictures on the reverse camera thread

but I guess here it is

Dropbox - corolla-highlander radio backup camera.pdf

 

And in my quest to find the perfect backup camera, I also bought this camera

E318 170º Wide Angle Night Vision Car Rear View Reverse Backup Color Camera VE4A | eBay

It's $11 or so, however it's shipped from china...so it'll take a good 3weeks to a month or so to get to the states, etc. I tested it to work on 6v with pretty good picture quality, so no relays or modifications needed at all, just the power from the HU will be enough to power it.

I don't think there is a navigation version of the radio...The faceplate was $35 shipped (from jttores)...the backup camera harness is $40 or so shipped (or much much cheaper if you know how to attach wires to the 16pin harness...but I'm lazy so I'll just dish out the $40)...don't buy from beatsonic...they are way too overpriced, it's like $75 + $10 shipping and tax if you're in CA.

Most of the install, I've explained step by step in my little guide for backup camera on the corolla/highlander touch screen radio

 

very nice!

 

Is the plastic surround around the Corolla radio in post one from a Corolla. I actually wanted to put nav in my Prius C 2 but want to keep the stock looks and I still haven't seen a kit I like. I really like the looks of the Toyota radio and I can use a portable nav.
