There are several posts on this on the forum, I know others have put them into their Alpines and other systems. If you have the Alpine installed then have them do it for you. If you do it your self there are several good write ups The one I used was J.A. s dwinev

CXS here are the photos of the BEC 108 camera on the rear window air spoiler, dwinev

I'll get some photos soon, just finished installing the JA Navigation Override and Unlock Bypass Module. It works, but i have a few questions for JA before putting it all together. dwinev

From what you say about aiming your camera I suppose it is at the license plate area. I placed my camera on the rear window air spoiler, in the middle on the spoiler behinf the spoiler tailight, this places the camera gight above the rear window The BEC 108 camera came with a long power cord...

CXS, good job, next project for my 4 runner is J A 's Factory Navigation Override and Unlock Bypass Module. I just received mine from him yesterday and will put it in tomorrow. I am also replacing my camera switch with the one used by nefarious. Thanks to all for the help with this, this mod is...

Looks like the exact same relay I used. I tapped into 12 volt power from a fused power supply from the accessory line so I did'nt need the fuses that you have. If you are wireing direct to 12 volt power than you should use the fuses. Good luck This is a good project. dwinev

How to: Rear backup camera mod Yes this is the relay you need, you only need one relay and a switch, then follow JA's instructions and you will be done with this mod. dwinev

J A, A few photos of the switch location, one photo of camera on when in reverse and one of camera on when in drive. Of course I think that Snesley's switch look more factory like and I may got to that later, thanks all that heped with this. dwinev

I used a Carling SPST lighted rocked switch. Mounted on the center console next to the down hill assist switch. The camera is an Eclipse BEC 106 I'll try to send some photos in the next few days I can't believe it is in the 4 runner and working great. I would never had figured it out without...

Finally The full time camera mod is done.....working and is now another project completed. For all that want to do this, it is not as difficult as I made it to be. With the help and write ups by J.A. it all made sense. His first write up was too techinical for me, but when he made it clear...

JA, Wired the switch today following your instructions. Same thing, the rear camera is on when the switch is off and in reverse. When I shift into drive and turn on the switch nothing happens. I believe I may have a bad relay and it is not making the camera come on when in drive. I wired as you...

I will try this tomorrow, I went form the 12 volt + to the relay post 85, that is where I went wrong, I'll try to wire 12+ to the switch first then to 85 and 87 via the switch. Does the negative to 86 also come from the switch? thanks for the help dwinev

JA Tried your last post using the 12 volt auto relay. Did as instructed. Turned on the nav screen with the SPST turned off in reverse the camera was on, with the switch powered on the the rear view camera was off. Then when I turned on the switch to activate the camera in drive nothing...

I can understand this. This is what I have been looking for, simple, easy to follow and complete. I appreciate your taking time out to make this easier for us amatuers. dwinev

CXS is righr, but it's becimming mor clear after going back to your diagrams and instructions. I have ordered the relay after re-reading your instructions and diagram. It was not that easy for us that don't know how th read electric diagrams and we all don't know the electric symbals. I think I...
