Hey did you confirm you have Continuous 12V running to the Toyota factory connector? And can you clarify which color that was. There's some confusion... on yours it looks like the Constant 12V power was the yellow wire, but @dclear thought his was the white/grey one next to it... and then that one didn't end up being connected to anything. ThanksI did it! Can confirm this works! I got mine from here:
5Pin Connector Unsealed 0.7mm Male Female Connector Automobile Wiring Harness Sensor Cable Socket for Toyota 6098-3802 6098-3810
I picked up three pairs of connectors because I wasn’t sure if I wanted to make a piggyback connector or just plug them in directly. My first try didn’t go well, as I attempted to clamp the wire to the pins with pliers, but the wire was too thick. I couldn’t get the pins to go all the way into the 5-pin connector.
After that, I decided to get a crimping tool. I wasn't really sure what to buy, so I went for one with seven different types of dies. That did the trick, but again I had to push the pin further with thin, precise flat screwdriver. Here is the crimping die that worked, smallest 0.5mm (20 AWG)
And here is what it looks like (EDIT: When you connect it wrong - yelow/red needs to be swapped)
EDIT: Since Radar Parking didn't work, I figured out it must be wiring, so it is not:
Yellow -> Red = 12VDC constant
White -> Yellow = 12VDC ACC,
Correct wiring is:
Yellow -> Yellow - 12VDC constant
White -> Red - 12VDC ACC
Black/White -> Black = ground
The Thinkware wire is pretty long, so I had to tie it up. It fits really well in that metal compartment above the dome lights. That is the one with four holes (you can see three of them in the next photo).
There’s a good amount of space between the headliner and the roof since I don’t have a sunroof. I was a bit worried about how to deal with the extra wire, but I ended up tucking it in there, and it fits pretty snug.
I ran the black dashcam wire along the existing wires over to the passenger side. The fixed wires attached to the headliner aren't really causing any problems, actually, they helped me to anchor my wire. I put the heat protector and base plate over the dotted part of the windshield, so the camera sits right underneath that area.
I had to put on a polarizing filter because the glare was pretty bad without it. Especially with all the shiny stuff, if you have dashboard storage.
I’m really happy with how everything looks so far. In the next few days, I’ll check out how it records and see if it’s worth keeping. If it is, I’ll tackle the rear camera installation. That’ll be a bit tricky since I’m not a fan of having anything hanging down from the headliner.
