The next problem is there is no wiring harness from the missing camera locations to the head unit and you can't buy the connectors to make one yourself. The next problem after that is there is no place to connect it to the head unit. The head unit only has a single connector for the backup...
A few more details how I spliced in the button illumination wires, and the rest of the overall install.
I took the main harness from the kit and cut away the cloth wire wrap from the "A" bundle. ("A" is the 28-pin connectors that have 4 heavy pins across the top row. "B" is the 30-pin...
to splice in the backlight
the diagram with blue & gray is for the other anytime backup kit, it's just to show exactly where pins 24 and 25 are
The button supplied with the beatsonic kit is a different model of button, a momentary instead of push on push off, and has different wire colors and...
The Beatsonic kit works. A plain old ordinary cheap or expensive analog composite ntsc camera displays right on the factory screen. Halleluja!
The only annoyance is they didn't hook up the button backlight wires even though they could have, the pins are available in one of the connectors they...
The kit works! A plain common composite analog camera displays on the radio screen.
A couple things:
* The camera button does both switching the radio into camera mode and switches to the front camera at the same time as a single function. You don't get the "anytime backup" function to look at...
In fact my front and middle dome lights stopped working by opening the doors. The door switches still work because the foot lights and the dash screen display both show when the doors open, and the light itself still works by the manual switch. Just the "door" position on the switch is now the...
My beatsonic kit came in a couple days ago. Looks good physically, all nice connectors & harnesses and pre-wired camera button largely duplicating what I already did manually when I first installed the existing "Anytime Backup" kit and front camera relay switch...
This is the worst of both worlds. You lose the use of the features, yet the connection still exists, is still active, Toyota still collects data, Toyota still controls the vehicle any time they want to.
Thank you, yes this is the kit. I was posting from my phone at the time.
You can reach all the connectors pretty easy without taking too much apart. Google up the youtube video about putting a usbc jack in the center console, that is hands down the best directions for taking the center console...
I'll probably ened up duplicating what I did in my Saturn Sky. I added a couple short led strips controlled by a reed switch glued inside the dash and a magnet glued inside the door.
I hate not being able to see into that black hole without a flashlight.
Exactly. I installed the dcm bypass.
I never even made an account or installed the app or activated anything even once. The sales guy couldn't get over it, thought it was actually physically required. He actually went to his manager to find out what to do since I just kept saying "no, I do not...
I added a link in the readme. If you select the cheap shipping then it's only like $11 but over a week wait.
The ones I printed myself work well but the MJF ones could possibly come out either tight or loose just because it's a different printer and a different printing process. It's probably...
oh ok no problem then.
I can start my vehicle before getting in it just fine, with the key fob. And the point is that whatever features, functions, and behavior I have right now, even if that didn't happen to include remote start, no one but me can change them.

This cannot happen to my 3rd gen, and cannot happen to my 6th gen either thanks to the DCM Bypass kit.
For the record, I printed in pla+ and will probably get a set done in black nylon MJF now. Both hard materials that should never wear out from the bolt striking and grinding on them.
The grommets don't work by cushioning, they work by just pressing the door into the spring loaded plunger...
Mine doesn't always make noise, just when the road is rough.
I'm sure felt pads do work great but I didn't try bumpers or felt or anything else because I don't want just any old possible solution, I want a specific solution.
I didn't want bumpers, I wanted grommets.
I didn't want anything that...
