Hey there, in this video I installed a Natika backup camera on my First Gen Tundra and take you along for every step of the process. It is a fairly easy install, and with some clever wiring this camera helps simplify the process a ton. Hopefully you find the video helpful, and thanks for watching! - Sal

Very professional looking rear camera installation! I was a bit intimidated by the task of installing a rear view camera on my gen1, so I had it professionally installed. The camera on my truck was installed on the top of the license plate, but I definitely dig the camera near the tailgate handle.

Nice install! My self-install (06 Tundra) for my new radio head unit was similar, but I mounted the camera to the license plate. The wire routing was the same up through the grommet under the driver's seat. From there, I ran the wire over to the center consul and tucked the wire along the consul edge and carpet. I then fished the rest behind the dash and connected to the radio head. I purchased the head unit and BU camera from Crutchfield. They have some awesome connectors that I liked better than the fold over clip kind. Well done

@JDMDriveway Жыл бұрын

Thanks Steve, that routing sounds good too, especially if you've got captains chairs up front instead of a bench like I've got. Good to know about the other connectors too, I'll have to check them out. I typically like to solder this wiring, but for ease of install I chose these splicing ones. Thanks for watching! - Sal

Thanks for the video. The nice thing about choosing the handle is it’s easy to replace if you messed it up or change your mind in the future. (My rear handle ripped off a few years ago and it was an easy replacement.) Did you replace your head unit or buy it that way? I still have the stock JBL unit. Curious if your after market head unit was wired to bypass the amp or if speakers were just rewired?

@JDMDriveway Жыл бұрын

Good point about being able to replace the handle, I had replaced mine about a year ago because the handle ripped off as well and it's a very easy job. I installed the Atoto head unit, and I bypassed the factory amp. Not sure if it's correct or producing the best sound it could, but it's been working for me lol thanks for watching! - Sal

Just a comment about running the wiring through the rectangular hole in the end of the PU bed. That is the hole you would insert the spare tire rod through. You could chaff your wiring when lowering the spare tire? It might be better to remove the tail gate and drill a small hole next to the rectangular hole? Just an idea. Great video!

Was looking to do something similar. I noticed you can't see your trailer hitch in the view, which would be my primary use case. As such, I was thinking a license plate model may be a better idea vs. putting in the handle.

@JDMDriveway 11 ай бұрын

Yeah, unfortunately that is one of the biggest downsides of mounting it here. I know that they sell handles with an integrated camera that may have a view of the hitch, but the license plate one may be your best, sure bet solution. Plus, it will still work if you have your tailgate down, which mine does not. Thanks for watching!

One Question...I have an ATOTO F7 XE head unit. the reverse function works flawlessly, However, the "live rear view " function is not working.. it say's "NO VIDEO DETECTED". Does your "rear view function work? Thankyou again

@JDMDriveway Жыл бұрын

That's a great question, and one that I played around with too. I have the same issue where it doesn't play for the live rear view. I think that the issue is that we tapped into the reverse wire to trigger the camera turning on, and using that live rear view button doesn't trigger it on its own. Not sure if we could install a separate relay for that to work properly, or if it's more-so designed for a separate camera like a front view camera out back. Not sure. Thanks for watching, and glad the install went well otherwise! - Sal

@JDMDriveway Жыл бұрын

Unfortunately, I don't think so. The way I have it wired up, it only gets power when the reverse lights are on because that's the signal wire to the head unit. I've tried using the camera while in drive or park and I can't get it to work. I'm sure if you wired it differently you could get it to turn on whenever you want, but it may not turn on automatically when you shift into reverse. The other sorta option would be to have a second camera that you could mount somewhere else like your third brake light and have that wired so it gets power all the time and you can select it in your head unit when you want to check on your load.

I have had two of the higher end Atoto head units in my tundra, both 10.1”, the Atoto A6 and the S8. I, personally, would stay away from Atoto after several terrible experiences with their customer service. I’ll try to keep it short… The A6 which cost like $400 at the time, straight up crapped the bed after lien 8 months. Atoto customer service was garbage. They offered me either A) a refurbished, lower grade, less expensive head unit-even though it was under warranty. Or B) to get the newer S8 model of the same level of head unit that I had already, they forced me to pay the difference in price between the older lower grade refurbished model they offered. Stupidly, I angrily forked over the $. Well after like 10 months the head unit started completely factory resetting itself at any random time totally out of the blur. I’d be driving along and then out of nowhere it factory resets, losing all my settings, all my apps, all thr customizations. It was infuriating. Atoto customer service slow walked me until literally like 2 days after my 1 year warranty was up and then completely denied my warranty. It was complete bullshit since I had been emailing with them about it for months before the warranty was up. Pisses me off. So I personally will never buy Atoto again. They also claimed they have just as good a warranty as Apple which about made me fall over Laughing. Tess, sure….except I’ve never had every Apple prodict I bought die within the first year and then have customer service screw me out of replace both times. I would definitely look into getting either like a Joying or preferably a Teyes CC3.

Hi Do you need some great lighting for your car to help you better driving, off-road? We're the pro auto lighting manufacturer for nearly 20 year and we're looking for sponsorship!

Great video but you didn’t have to cut the wire you could of ran the wires from the front to the back instead of back to front

That's a good point, I didn't even think about that. Everything still worked out though, glad the video was helpful! Thanks for watching

I think it would’ve worked better down by the license plate.

@JDMDriveway Ай бұрын

Yeah there's definitely some issues with mounting it up there, like it not being usable with the tailgate down or not seeing the trailer hitch, but I prefer the look of it up there. Thanks for watching

It will be better if you buy the handle camera directly

@JDMDriveway Ай бұрын

Yeah I agree, it just seemed like a lot of money when this camera was only like $30. If I was gonna do it again I would probably get the integrated one. Thanks for watching!

Why not get a tailgate camera for it they sell them all you have to do is replace the tailgate handle

@JDMDriveway Жыл бұрын

Good question, I looked into those and I agree that it would simplify things and the camera could probably see a lot better too. But I personally felt like spending well over $100 for the tailgate masters handle wasn't worth it for my truck. Thanks for watching! - Sal

Don't use those cheap red splices, do it right and use a proper crimp on or solder your wire connects and cover with heat shrink.

@JDMDriveway Ай бұрын

I generally like to solder my connections, but the his one hasn't failed on me yet lol *knock on wood*. Thanks for watching!

3:45 - PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT USE THOSE WIRE SPLICES. They are absolute trash and lead to all sorts of problems, especially so on the exterior of a vehicle. They should not exist.

Thanks man for the heads up, I haven't had any issues with them in the past but I'll try to swap them out to prevent any issues. Thanks for watching!
