Toyota Prius 2005 X10 Backup Camera PDF Manual Installation

The white-plugged audio cable is not used. The VSRGB box is attached by Velcro to the top of the Nav box.. The SCART cable behind goes to the front of the Nav box to attach to the DB9 video input port on CAN-View. (I put CAN-View in front of the Nav box, attached by Velcro to the carpet, since the seat covers made putting it on top of the Nav box a close call. The camera I used which price $49.99 including shipping. It is color and indoor/outdoor and has a 16- feet cable, which is more than enough to install it from under the driver’s seat to the hatch door. I chose to install it inside and above the hatch tinted window on the left of the car.

The hump on the hatch at that location is needed to aim the camera out the tinted window. Here is a picture of the camera before installation: The gray video/power cable attached to the VSRGB by a square black video plug, as shown two pictures above, can be disconnected from the gray cable by unplugging the “telephone jack”, as shown below:

(The white audio plug shown is not used and the female power plug shown is not used.) A male power plug at the end of a 2-feet power cable (striped cable in picture above) is used to provide the 12 Volts needed for the X10 camera. I get the power by a means of two pins on the video DB9 plug on CAN-View, only because I have the prototype of Ver. 3. I used a Radio Shack Adaptoplug with two bare wires on it and a universal female plug on the other end. Then I used a Radio Shack male C pin to plug into the universal female plug of the Adaptoplug and the female-plugged power cord of the camera.

For production Ver. 3 CAN-Views the 12 Volts can be gotten by plugging in a 2.1 mm DC female plug into the program power port as shown here: (The port says 9 Volts, but it can go up to 18 Volts. For programming the board it is a power input port, but when in the car it puts out 12 Volts inside positive.) Then an adapter will be needed with a female 1 mm plug for the camera on one end and a female 2.1 mm plug on the other end for the CANView “program power” port. The gray cable now needs to be threaded through the side of the car back to the hatch door. I thought that I might install the cable myself. So I started experimenting with dismantling the molding around the inside edges of the hatch door. The molding at the top of the hatch is easy to remove and replace, as shown below…
