How to Install a Car Stereo and Backup Camera - Toyota Corolla

[@Qualitymobilevideo]

Hey car audio fanatics! What have you all installed in your vehicles???

[@thenotoriousrvh6091]

2015 Jeep Patriot Kenwood 9703s w/backup camera, 2 sets Kicker CSS-694's, Kicker ZXDSP-1, 2 RF. Prime 300X4's, RF Prime 1200-D1, Kicker CVR-154D. All I need now is a RF DSR-1. Will be calling Lorenzo in a couple of weeks for that 😀

[@Qualitymobilevideo]

We have it in-stock ready for ya!

[@bonzainews]

Too much to list, i owned a car audio business for some time. I miss it sometimes. eBay and China ruined it for me. The profit to work ratio got lower every year after 1999. I am still a hobbyist though.

[@calebbrowne923]

Same shit your installing, that's why we're watching the video.... :D

i am looking for installing a 2 dinn head unit into my corolla 2006 hatch and your videos, man, are amazingly interesting. your voice is great. clear. and easy to understand, super straightforward and clear instructions. camera angle is perfect. loved it. subscribed .

[@yodada2858]

The 32 hours later was so unexpected and got me 😂 Nice detailed video I'll probably use this for my car.

[@BigBadBalrog]

I upgraded my own radio recently (not nearly as cleanly as this) and I'm so glad I didn't opt for a back up camera because that amount of extra work is nuts!

[@LBstrikesagain]

I can appreciate your attention to detail. Almost OCD lol! I really like that you soldered the wires and heat shrinks them. Nice job man.

[@Qualitymobilevideo]

Thanks! It's a bit much but we like to go above and beyond!

[@marioboom7491]

Great video and instructions, I've done the same exact job to my 2009 venza, I had a budget of 300 cad, so I went for a used Pioneer AVH-280BT ( 150 cad ) + Metra dash mounting kit ( 70 cad ) + decent backup camera with tons of good reviews on amazon ( 40 cad ) + 2.5mm microphone from amazon ( 10 cad ) because the radio the radio is used and didn't have it + some required tools like sealant and drilling bit for the hole etc.... Everything works as expected and I didn't end up spending a ton of money. For the radio I preferred getting a good and reliable known product, even if it is getting old, rather than buying cheaper chinese products, which are unreliable especially when the cold and humid hits here in Canada, so basically, I sacrified caprlay for reliability and staying on my budget. Peace everybody!

[@Qualitymobilevideo]

Awesome!

[@toantran1]

Job is completed by a skilled tech... So nice and neat!!!

I watched other videos English and Spanish but they didn't explain as good as you did on the camera installation. Thank you !!

[@Qualitymobilevideo]

Awesome!

[@Omil7750]

Best video on backup camera installation. 👍

[@Qualitymobilevideo]

Glad you liked it 👌😎

[@eljefeslash]

This is one of the best install videos out there! Easy to follow the wires, etc. I especially appreciate the visuals at 10:36 and 17:53 - so helpful to pause (after what you had just covered) and recall how everything needs to connect. Thank you!

[@DanielCorona-n5j]

Very useful mate i did my stereo in like an hour after not having an idea on how to do it

[@ThriftyAV]

This is VERY helpful for an install on my 2008 Corolla. Bookmarked to watch again when I do the head unit / backup cam install.

[@longbeachcalifornia847]

You did a very good job installing a double den in at Toyota Corolla. I definitely recommend buying one of those already. Use back up camera Bluetooth thumbs up. 👍

[@asusgoncalves]

Goddamn dude, that right there is the cleanest install I’ve ever seen. Good job!

[@stephano.vargas]

Wow I’m blown away by your work. Great job 👏 Thanks for the video

thanks bro! 🙌

[@patgar1956]

WTF...$500 job.... well-done guys....keep up the good work, cheers from Australia

[@cedric7751]

Finally someone who can explain properly. My camera is now working perfectly. One thing I don't understand is why we have to get power directly from the reverse light at the back. Those lights are getting their power input from the front of the vehicle so we should be able to get the signal directly from the front too, right?

[@sikskillz2186]

wow, great job. really professional. came out really clean.

[@Qualitymobilevideo]

Thank you very much!

Pretty clean job man.. Love the saxophone music in the background.. So relaxing

[@Qualitymobilevideo]

Thank you!

[@AnymationYT]

That's a very helpful and in depth tutorial. I am just not sure if I can do all of these my own. I must commend the video quality by the way it's a lot better than any 4K movies I've watch. And also your 2007 Toyota Corolla interior looks dope. Very well maintained I believe.

[@christopherkouri2317]

Really really clean install. Well done sir and thank you for the effort!

[@Qualitymobilevideo]

[@amthevision8931]

Learning from you years later… installing on my ‘07 corolla next week with pioneer ddin and just received the right solder and tesa tape… also backup camera thanks for all the tips

[@Qualitymobilevideo]

Good luck! You got this.

[@amthevision8931]

@@Qualitymobilevideo thanks! I’m confident and this seams relatively simple. Did you tape over existing tesa tape to add the ground lead for camera later? What gauge wire is good for the red power wire from radio to camera? 12awg?

[@amthevision8931]

@@Qualitymobilevideo i noticed the camera I have and your kit is the same except my female RCA and red female 12v barrel jack is attached to the camera side and not like the one shown in this video. That means i need to get a 1/2” dia rca plug through a grommet that’s sized for the wire. The only way that comes to mind is getting a rubber grommet instead of plastic and slicing one side... with a 1/2” hole drilled into the trunk. Any suggestions? I’ve never cut and terminated an RCA/power wire.

[@mohammadal-qurashi1884]

Such a tidy work and a satisfying end!!!

I just installed an aftermarket radio to my 2008 Kia Spectra EX. Thank you for this video, what looked hard, turned out its not hard at all. And putting all the connectors instead of tape, is a very good idea. I will go and get a kit from harbor freight and set mine up just like yours!!

[@ChrisSherlock]

Great video, certainly helped me correctly install a cheap no-name Chinese stereo. The instruction manual was for a different model, and after recommended professional installation, it advised me to follow a non-existent installation instructions and circuit diagram.....

thank you so much! great work. I'm trying to install a new car stereo for my old Toyota Urban Cruiser and this gave me so much nice tips that I can use. Thank You

Why do you need to ground the brake cable from the stereo? Mine has to but the camera worked without it so is there any other purpose of it?

@@Qualitymobilevideo hey so from the video did you initially use a grommet in thr hole you drilled in the trunk then changed it to a boot type grommet. Just wanted to clarify. Also, what brand were they? Thanks.

[@litigioussociety4249]

I screwed up. I bought an aftermarket, Bluetooth stereo thinking it just plugged into the existing ports. Had no idea it required soldering wires. Don't know why they can't just make it plug and play.

[@francisco5434]

Perfect and detailed video instructions. I was wondering about those pigtail leads on my video cable. The instruction diagram didn't match and the instructions didn't translate well to English. I like the options you included to use both backup and selectable video feeds. The multimeter pre-installation tests were a great tip, as was the air-bag safety tip. Great job.

[@adoolaard]

Hi, thanks for your video! Where do you put the small red wire that is connected to the Yellow plug? (So the wire which gives the signal that you are in reverse) I don’t see it clearly in the video and i really have no idea what to do with it.

[@Qualitymobilevideo]

You use that to either run power to the camera from the headunit or the reverse signal wire to the headunit from the brake light.

[@adoolaard]

@@Qualitymobilevideo Thanks, I had already figured it out. It was to give the signal the the car was in reverse.

Great video, definitely helped clarify a couple of things!

[@krazed0451]

Probably a good idea to seal the metal where you drilled and inserted the cabling grommet ;-)

[@francisco5434]

I sprayed some clear coat in the can cap and applied it with a swab. Then I cut some short cloth tape like he was using to daisy leaf some overlapping pieces around the opening, but I like his grommet solution better.

Nice work, hopefully the cable doesn't run through the tape :-)

nice work. when drilling fresh holes you should paint the edges because that is now bare metal and can start a rust issus. the rubber grommet it there but it only helps and it can still rust.
