You can't use the 5th gen anytime front camera on the 6th gen. It's not just a pinout or connection problem. The new cameras use a different kind of signal and the head unit has no input for the old style cvbs signal...
Links I promised:
Generic camera that solves the mounting angle problem while popping right in to the same hole.

Except don't bother because you can't use it because the head unit does not accept this old style composite ntsc video signal any more.
Front...
I can't comment on that meaningfully. It's louder but I don't know if it's better.
One thing I don't like is the dash speakers dominate more than I'd like, and are a bit harsher than Icd like. There's no way to adjust those seperately from the rest. So the only way to adjust the balance between...
Re-read the last few posts.
The mounting angle is no problem. I didn't mention it because it no longer matters, but I found other cameras that are adjustable yet still pops right in the same hole no problem. But those cameras are not usable anyway because the problem is the type of video...
I ended up getting 4 x PT998-35221-5F because it looked like it might be right and was only $67 shipped for all 4.

I think these might be from 5th gen.
They fit perfect in the stock SR5 17" wheel.
I still have to peel the black overlays back off my grill to...
Are the new speakers the same ohms as the old ones? Probably the new ones all need more power to output a given volume but the center one didn't change. You might be able to adjust it in the settings in the infotainment screen. I don't have the jbl so Idk if it has a slider for each channel. I...
I got this kit and it was super easy to install, especially thanks to the video that takes all the stress out of getting into the door panels.
One thing I don't like is the nuts & screws supplied for the dash speakers and the directions how they show installing them in the video.
1: The video...
That isn't a bad recommendation in general, but I just installed the trail grid pro alpine speaker kit and I can say it's pretty easy to take apart the door panels. Maybe not if going in blind, but they have a youtube video and that makes it painless.
Except one thing, in the video when it gets...
That is exactly what that thread I linked is using.
The problem is the cameras are totally different now. Up to 5th gen the cameras had plain old CVBS signals (aka compisite ntsc, aka the same yellow rca plug on a 80's vhs player or game console)
It's dead simple to work with that. It's only a...
Same. Found a matching wheel on ebay for 189 shipped, got another one of the same continentals I had put on all the others, had a local independant tire shop mount it for $25. But I forgot to get a tpms for it. I thought I didn't want one but then later I thought it would be good to rotate the...
Apparently switching this kind of high speed data lvds is not so simple. The signals may be over 3gb and that requires special handling.

I mean I would still try it...
Apparently rav4 has the same kind of camera connection since 2023
And this looks like the same connector on one side with a more common fakra style on the other end.

What a terrible sounding idea.
Hello there could be 5 different drivers. What then?
You "learned" me for a few hours and then that's all out the window because it's not me today.
I hate when a tool, especially a vehicle or anything else that might be dangerous, does not behave exactly the same...
It's a shame too. On the one hand, face-up it protects the face from sh** from the road, but if it were face-down you could store a lot of stuff inside the wheel out of the way yet still on the vehicle. I would love to keep the tow hitch in there.
I tried to add a front bumper camera and in the end I think the video signal needed by the head unit is no longer plain old composite ntsc like it used to be, and so you can't connect a generic camera even if you know which pins.
It's not absolutely certain yet, just what I'm thinking at this...
Yes it goes the other way.
Full size goes the same way the donut was (I hope they did not ship yours with the donut facing down like this!). Flip it over, It's damaging the face right now.
Zip-tie to fish a path from the radio down to the shifter. I taped the long wires from the harness to the end of the zip tie to pull them down from the radio area to the shifter area.
There's a great spot for ground under the console but it's just a tab with a hole, so you just need to supply...
