PAC CAM-TY11 Reverse Camera T-Harness

Introduction & Features

The CAM-TY11 is a reverse camera T-harness that enables the addition of a reverse camera input for compatible TOYOTA, SCION, and SUBARU 6.1" OEM touchscreen radios, or the retention of the factory camera when replacing the factory radio. It features a simple plug-and-play installation.

Installation

When adding a reverse camera to an OEM radio:

1. Disassemble the dash and remove the radio.
2. Disconnect the 16-pin connector from the back of the factory radio (if equipped) and install the T-harness.
3. Connect the RCA from the aftermarket camera to the female RCA located in the T-harness.
4. The OEM radio, when connected to this harness, will provide a +6V power output if needed. Most aftermarket cameras require +12V for power. If your camera requires +12V, find a reliable source of +12V ACC power. If not being used, insulate the pin located at the end of the red wire.
5. To function properly, the camera must have power before the vehicle is placed into reverse. Using the reverse lamp as a power source is not recommended for proper functionality.
6. Normally, a reverse trigger is provided by the vehicle manufacturer. As long as the camera has power when the vehicle is placed into reverse, the radio should automatically switch to the reverse camera. In the event that the radio does not automatically switch to the reverse camera, a +12V reverse signal will need to be added to Pin 2 of the 28-pin connector. See Figure 1.

When retaining the factory reverse camera with an aftermarket radio:

1. Connect the factory 16-pin camera harness to the T-harness.
2. Connect the male side of the RCA to the aftermarket radio's reverse camera input.
3. Connect the loose black wire to chassis ground.
4. Insert the pin located on the end of the red wire into Pin 12 of the 20-pin connector of the RP4.2-TY11. This pin is located next to the red/white programmable +12V output. See Figure 2. If an RP4.2-TY11 is not being used with this harness, the red wire will need to connect to +6V. This may require an adapter to step down the voltage from +12V to +6V.
