An update video where I replace my Camera Source harness with one from RED WOLF. You can then pair this harness with any backup camera that uses an RCA video cable. This is less expensive than a full camera kit and gives you a lot more options. You'll want to stick with a 1" camera if you want to mount it close to the middle like I have my Parkvision one, otherwise you'll have to mount the camera off-centered like I did when I originally installed the larger Camera Source one.
Here is some additional info about the various tC year differences:
• 2011 tCs: The factory headunit doesn't appear to support a backup camera.
• 2012 tCs: Despite not being listed, I got confirmation from a 2012 owner that said you can use the 2013 harness. See the 2013 tC note about the reverse trigger wire.
• 2013 tCs: These tCs require extra work. You will need to wire in the reverse trigger wire from the 28 pin power harness to the reverse taillight harness. You can find more info at www.autoharnesshouse.com/1986.... Below are pictures provided by the afore mentioned 2012 owner.

🖼 Pink Wire is Reverse Lights: photos.app.goo.gl/eLCVs5b3axX...
• 2014+ tCs: These are just plug and play as they have the reverse wire connected from factory.
You can use any backup camera that uses an RCA video cable. If you want to check out the one I wasn't able to install because it wouldn't fit my current location, you can get it from amzn.to/3CkFkug.

Thank you so much for creating videos for the Scion tC community- I hate that the community is not as lively as it should be. It's always great to have other people with the same car for references and inspiration.
Wow, this is one of the best and most clear/thorough install videos I've seen for any car, ever. Well done!!
I don't know how many times I can say the same thing and mean it more every time I do, but Thank you AGAIN !!! This video of yours is going to make my backup camera installation simple. You are the best, Bro !!
This is great you are a wealth of knowledge gonna do this to my 2016
Your videos are great!!!
dam thanks for this was looking for one explanation video
Listening to Ministry, Nice !!
They just played in Baltimore this past weekend. We originally had tickets, and then Covid happened. We missed seeing the show when they finally rescheduled it (and changed the lineup).
Hello Derrick thank you for the videos it does help me a lot but I have a question about my 2014 tC Radio Bluetooth don’t work when I look for it it doesn’t show on my cell phone any ideas that what I can do ? Or the radio is not good?
What troubleshooting steps have you taken? Can your phone see other Bluetooth devices? Can the radio see other phones or Bluetooth devices?
First thing - thanks for the videos. Secondly, are you sure about the red wolf harness working for scion tc 2014s? On the amazon page Red Wolf says that it doesn't work with the factory pioneer head units. They said no twice.
Did you click on the correct link in my video description? Another owner confirmed it works, and it says on the page it's compatible: "For Scion: 2013-2015 FRS, 2014-2015 iQ, 2014-2015 tC, 2014-2015 xB, 2014 xD. Subaru BRZ 2013-2015."
@@VampyreX13where is that “behind lower dash harness” that you include a picture of in your description? I’m guessing we need to plug into the other end of that to avoid having to get power and ground from one of the other harnesses.
I followed the directions in this video. The camera works but I lost the GPS and it won't recognized my ipod. Any Ideas?
I updated to this unit for my 2013 Scion tC. May you please tell me where in the back is the trigger pin ?
Check the video description for info and pictures.
Hi, great video. If I have a 2016 scion tc radio (PT546-00160) and want to install an aftermarket camera that is 12v. Will I need a voltage converter, or is it just plug and play with the RedWolf adapter? I read in a forum that I would need a 6v camera and if I got a 12v I would need a converter. Thank you 😊
Cars are 12v systems, so you want to use a 12v camera without a converter. You just need the harness.
@Derrick Aquino Hi, I bought the Redwolf harness, but it didn't work for me. I have a 2016 radio headunit that came from a 2016 scion tc, installed in a 2008 Scion xD.
@@Beto_toro you're going to need to check the info in the video description for tapping into your reverse wire to trigger the camera.
@Derrick Aquino Hi, I bought the reverse trigger wire, installed it and my headunit recognizes when I change to reverse. I connected the camera to the Redwolf harness and tested the voltage but it outputs 6v. Did I do something wrong? Will I need a step up converter?
@@VampyreX13 I was able to get it to work. I connected the red wire from the camera to the reverse light wire instead of the harness red wire. Thank you for your videos and advice 😃 Greatly appreciated it!
Love your videos I have 2016 Scion tC I want to install the back up camera it’s just plug and play? May I have the links the the camera and adapter please? I like the center camera
Everything is in the video description.
So you ended using the same park vision back up camera from your old link? On the running the wires video?
@@venanciopineda4957 correct.
Can this adapter be used with the 2.4ghz wireless video transmitter, rather than running the wires all through the car?
Hey Derrick, is that other RCA yellow cable to be able to send video to a second display?
I don't know for certain since I haven't tried it before, but I've split video signals to car visor LCDs and that worked fine.
Just purchased the harness from the 2016 version link in the description as well as a parkvision camera. Wired everything as shown on the video but no picture is popping up. Got my expectations up, however was very disappointed. Would you know what the issue is?
Not sure why it didn't work for you, but if you can message me on Facebook or IG, I can video chat and look over your install.
@@VampyreX13 that would be great, what is your IG?
@@Sheed2408 @vampyrex13
@@VampyreX13 I'll shoot you a message
Issue resolved. The plug on the back of the headunit was dirty and not allowing a good connection.
Hi Derrick is there a link to the back up camera you have now? The one you were able to put it as close to center on your trunk. Please let me know thank you
Check the links in my Parkvision Pro backup camera video at ruclips.net/video/Bbuvh4WKiCE/видео.html.
@@VampyreX13 aww man the parkvision seems to be "unavailable" do you know the size? Of it
@@signsofthetimes886 none of the various links are valid? I'll measure the camera when I get home.
The size is 25mm x 25mm x25mm and the threaded shaft is off centered (closer to the back) and 8mm in diameter.
@@VampyreX13 thanks for the info! How's your parkvision camera holding up? Unfortunately I don't think they're in business anymore, which sucks because I want a camera that mounts as close to the center of the trunk
Do you plan to add car play to your TC?
No.
What camera do you recommend I put on that radio?
I'll just updated the links in the video description. I'm using a 110 degree Parkvision camera on my tC. The model I was using has been replaced by the one I linked.
How did you get your interior carbon fiber?
I vinyl wrapped it per ruclips.net/video/N3DBb0uNya4/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/Q1woTwvgpmA/видео.html.
it been a minute how u been?
Kinda meh actually with everything going on in the world. That's part of the reason I haven't been super active lately.
@@VampyreX13 understandable. stay safe out there!
Thank you! You as well.
Twisting wires together does not make a good connection. Either solder them (using a good temperature controlled iron like a TS100 or a Hakko or clone iron - the kind that takes T15 style tip/heater cartridges are best; and “no clean” electronics flux & solder - NEVER use plumbing solder/flux as it’s corrosive and will eat your wires) or use crimp connectors and a proper ratcheting crimping tool made for the style of crimp connectors you are using.
Electrical tape degrades over time and falls off, especially in hot environments; leaving a sticky mess. It’s best saved for quick temporary insulation jobs where you know that you are about to take it off again and put a proper covering on the joint. Oh, and it works great for keeping trash bags closed if you don’t have the kind with the drawstrings.
Instead of tape, get some heat-shrink tubing; and if you don’t have one already get an electric heat gun as well. A hair-dryer won’t really get hot enough, and a flame (like from a lighter or butane/propane torch) will burn the tubing unless it’s at the exact right distance - and the first indication that you’re too close is the tubing scorching and catching fire (a great way to take all the fun out of your day!). The electric heat gun won’t do that. Don’t forget to slide the heat-shrink onto the wires before connecting them! The heat-shrink tubing comes in a wide variety of sizes, and colors, and there’s also some that has hot-melt glue inside for making waterproof connections. I keep several assortments around the house; as I find that I’m always using it on something.
Also, while you’re at it, if you don’t already have a good set of wire strippers (with nice sharp blades and slots for all the various wire sizes you’ll be using) grab a set of them as well. Few things are as frustrating as poor quality strippers. 😉
All the tools and materials for this can be had online from the usual sources (Amazon, eBay, Banggood, etc) quite inexpensively.
Very good info. I usually solder mine as well (I have an old Weller), but I only had 1mm and 5mm+ heatshrink tubing at the time, so I just had to rely on using a western splice. I'll have to redo them now that I have more heat shrink tubing on hand when the weather stays warm. The only time I usually don't solder is when tapping into a factory wiring harness, in which case I use the military splice to secure the wire. Since I end up having to use electrical tape for that, I always run a zip tie around it afterwards to keep it from coming undone. If I have a wire outside the car, I always solder it and I'll opt for the heatshrink tubing with the glue inside if it's anywhere exposed to water. As for wire strippers, I actually have an auto wire stripper that I got from Harbor Freight over 18 years ago that I love. Not only does it strip the ends of the wire with ease, I can use it in the middle of a wire to pull back enough of the insulation to do a military splice.
