Title: Rearview camera for 21RBS
Post by: charliem on March 06, 2014, 05:11:21 PM
[font size="3"]Adding a rear view camera to the 21RBS:

[font size="3"]The camera is a Voyager. Very expensive, but very good. Fully digital and paired with its monitor similar to Bluetooth and cell phones. No interference from other Bluetooth devices or cellphones. This replaced an analog system that was 1/3 the cost, but 1/10 the performance. The last photo shows the 12V socket I had the factory add to the bathroom so I would have power available there. Just above the 12V socket is an LED nightlight and the toggle switch for the camera. The camera can stay powered while the TV is moseying down the road, or backing into a site. [/font]

How did you run the wires once you got it behind the light? Is there a conduit or something shared that you could fish it through?

[font size="3"][font face="arial"]Yes, there's a black plastic trim piece, in effect a conduit, running across the top rear of the bathroom. It already contains the wiring for the upper clearance lights and other stuff. I brought the line over into the cabinet and down to the switch. Just use lots of clear silicone outside to keep the rain out.

[font size="3"]Some pictures of the Voyager monitor in a 2013 Tacoma and the Voyager camera on the rear of the CL.
