Hey dude! I have been watching your videos they are great!! I just bought a 2005 corolla xrs with 237, 000 miles on it and i have been fixing it up. I cant wait to do all these sweet modifcations you have done to mine! I have drove german cars my whole life ( my weekend/play car is a 2013 Audi S4) but needed a daily driver that is reliable and cheap to fix and the corollla was the answer!

Thanks a lot, Great illustration Sneaking the wire through the clip hole is a brilliant idea 👍🏻👍🏻

[Kapil-Patel]

Awesome video man, backup camera looks factory fitted 😎 great job 👍🏽

Nice vid bro! I’ve been wanting to put one on my xrs too because it’s super low. Now I can put one with confidence.

you literally have a video for everything i want to do to my car

thank you

Hey Will nice video.... just want to let others know that installing the camera in the center is also an option. I have done two cars putting them in the center.

Posi-tap wire taps are a good way to tap into wires without causing permanent damage.

I also helped a friend install both back up and front camera on a XRS.

One tip I can give is make sure you leave enough slack on the trunk hinge. If you don't leave enough slack it will put strain on the cable and eventually the cable will short.

Nice, hope the fact that it’s not in the middle doesn’t affect the alignment too much

So what were your plans to do with underneath the emblem area?

[BrandonStellmach]

Good video! I have been needing to get another backup camera. The one I have I think it’s going bad because a bunch of lines pop up on the screen when I go into reverse now.

But the other wire behind the radio is most likely for a front camera, because when I put a front camera in my corolla I used a constant on wire so I can view it any any time.

[knowell]

Excellent video Will. Can the lens be tilted up or down to get a better view of the rear surroundings?

[ryansingh]

How do you remove the clip that is behind the emblem that is on the trunk lid?

[CristhianJMejiaG]

Very nice video bro! How i can find this camera on the web?

[MR-mp]

There is a camera on toyota corolla 2010?

[miguelmartinez-bgot]

what color is car need to repaint mine where is color code inside (D) door?

[wjm]

Does this camera have other features that just the rear view camera? For example different t angles or pre collision warning or when unget close to an object etc? I guess u need sensors to get that to work ?

[briankamau]

What car radio is that? Please post link.

Bro, yesterday was the worst day ever ! I left to work, and in our area, the street sweeper passes rarely . Guess what it passed and since my car was in the way they towed it ! 300 to the police station to release it and 380 to the fucking tow bastards ! 😤 and it's cash only So I had to go to the bank twice ... what a day ... that money I could have used it for painting the car! Sucks bad ...

[wjm]

Looks clean install. I wonder how much it would cost for labour to get someone to do wiring and install?

[wizardgirl]

How do put back engine mount bolt next to air intake back because I’m having trouble with mine the metal is out line like the bolt has to go in angle but I have no luck
