been trying to figure out why i wasn't getting any backup camera signal for the Rav4. i looked at many vids and this is the only one that actually mentions the need to make sure to install the CAN VIN cable being installed. thanks!!!

[@Edgar417994]

Do you guys not have these kits for the 2014-2018 RAV4 anymore ?

[@johnmehaffey9953]

A proper pro always makes it look so simple don’t think I’d have the confidence even though I need one for my RAV4

[@ratanaty7917]

Thanks for posting this video. It is very helpful. I can do it myself now. Toyota dealer want to charge me $2000 plus just to put the old one. I put the new and better one just $500+. Wonderful video.

It is important all these units should have cooling fans on back otherwise it would become hot and cause instability. Most of the units don't have cooling fans.
