This weekend, I installed a backup camera on my 2014 Prius C One, and thought I would document the setup for posterity. However... I didn’t take any photos, because I honestly didn’t know if I was doing it correctly until halfway through. But now that I’m done and everything works great, I’ll provide whatever photos I can, and maybe some illustrations, to make the process clear. I’ll be editing and updating this post over the next few days. 1. The Camera: This camera was $34 on Amazon, and had great reviews, so I didn’t see the need to go with anything more expensive. It is a full mirror that clips over your existing mirror. The tint is a little blue, which might bother some. But I don’t mind it. 2. The Setup: Summary: - Test the equipment - Install the camera - Hatch work: Drill a hole / feed wires / seal hole - Feed wires from hatch through the Gasket of Doom into the car - Tail Light Tap: Find the reverse tail light power wire / tap into it / attach ground - Feed wires through bottom moulding to rear view mirror / connect - Done! Adjust camera Keep watching for photo and illustration updates that will expand on each of the above steps.
