After upgrading my OEM JBL radio to a Smarty Trend unit and getting the OEM rear camera connected, I felt the image looked a little old like 2010 old. So I found this plug and play upgrade that replaces your OEM rear camera. I found a promo code online and used that to save a little when I purchased it. MT54442026 that saved me 10% They are also on sale right now too. Toyota Prius (2010-2015), V (2012-2014), Plug in (2012-2015) OEM Repla – Master Tailgaters Installing the camera is not as easy as pluging it in to connect it. The white tabs that hold the camera in are a bit of a pain but it can be done. I will post some before and after pictures but I only have daytime before and after pictures.
Here are the before and after pictures. Keep in mind that these pictures are taken from an old Note 4 phone in my hand and not directly off the display, which I may be able to do with a screenshot directly from the android unit. I can probably do that on a later date just to see.
Two night pictures of the Master Tailgaters camera, one without the license plate light on and the other with the license plate light on
That's over $200. Many HUs come with backup camera. You can hard wire it or pay someone to do it. Sometimes it makes sense $$$ for convenience. Sometimes not
