I recently bought aftermarket CCD camera kit from eBay for my 2014 Prius-II and got it installed by best-buy geek squad. But camera is not working due to power problem. According to best buy technician, Prius factory harness is not supplying power when car is put in reverse gear. I am not sure how to address this problem.

View 2 RepliesI tried everywhere I could find today to turn on grid lines for the backup camera. I couldn't find them anywhere. I can't find anything in the owner's manual I downloaded either. What is the secret to getting grid lines to make backing up that much better?
View 7 RepliesI have a 2005 Prius and the original NAV DVD in the nav. system. I want to make a backup copy of this DVD for safe keeping.
View 7 RepliesMy Prius has a forward facing camera for LKA and a backup camera. Any hack to record the cameras' output to a USB stick while driving? Something that would record and retain the last 24hrs of video would be nice. Just to serve as evidence if an accident occurs and the cause is disputed.

View 10 RepliesI've been using MP3 CDs in autos for some years. Now I have a 2014 Prius 4 with whatever audio system is standard in that model. Generally all is good. But there is one odd thing: Whenever I stop the car, or it seems even pause the playback, it seems to restart so as to replay a few minutes I listened to on the last session.

View 2 RepliesI noticed that the backup camera on my IS is off centered. The distance shown between my car and the object behind it is fine. The sides are the problem!
When the 2 side lines on the screen suggest that I'm centered, I am actually closer to the left than the right side. I always turn my head when backing up anyway, but noticed this issue from day 1.
My backup camera (2013 KR) comes on in Neutral. Is this normal? Looks cool when going thru a car wash though....

View 6 RepliesI recently had an issue of my car not starting, battery empty, so battery needed a charger to start the car, but now the Nav screen does not work at all. no backup camera, nothing. Radio still works fine.
So i am guessing its a fuse. I looked at the fuse box on the driver side, but can't seem to find the appropriate fuse.
Lately my backup camera doesn't turn off when I shift from Reverse to Drive, I have to put the truck in Park and then go to Drive to make it turn off. Is this a software update problem?
View 10 RepliesI am curious; is it NOT suppose to beep when BSM has detected a car and you try to put blinker on? Mine just blinks the icon on the mirror, which is not nearly as noticeable as a audible sound. Also, what about the backup camera? Obviously, this car has sensors... but why don't the beep?
View 12 RepliesIssues:
1. Backup camera sporadically does not come on in rear view mirror. Has already been replaced by Ford dealership.
2. Backup camera settings Visual Park Aid and Guidelines sporadically are set to 'off'
3. While truck is running, start seeing warnings/hearing chimes. Emergency Brake (which isn't set), Engine Overheating, Check 4X4, etc.
4. Truck will NOT start. Won't even attempt to turn over. When this happens, I have a radio but the LED screen is usually blank.
These sporadic issues are starting to seem to be related to the use of the emergency brake. Use of the emergency brake does not always immediately cause issues. Now that I feel like there is some kind of connection, I have been setting the e-brake when I park it (even if not needed) trying to force things to happen because Ford says if they can't make it happen they don't know where to look/what to fix. I can't always make things happen by using the e brake...but am noticing things happen more often when I DO use it and when things happen (like backup camera won't work) setting the brake will make it come on and then I can release it and back up. If it won't crank while the brake is set, releasing it will cause it to crank. The other morning when I had all the warnings/chimes going off setting the e-brake made everything go back to 'normal'.
Yesterday when I came back from lunch I parked and set the e brake (on level ground). Got in it to leave work, left e-brake set, stepped on regular brake and tried to crank....nothing but radio. Called dealership. They had me try putting the key in, pressing the regular brake, and try to move the shifter from Park to N. Shifter wouldn't move. Then asked to turn key to just get it 'active' and try again. Shifter wouldn't move. Asked me to turn the key to crank and try again. Same thing - shifter wouldn't move. Truck finally cranked after I released e brake. Came home, parked and set e brake and turned it off. It re-started right up with e brake still set.
I'd like to upgrade the head unit to something which sounds a little better and offers better A2DP streaming (the Australian Prius I-Tech doesn't offer stock Bluetooth streaming and the GROM Audio unit I am currently using to achieve this is temperamental). Everything I read suggests that you loose IPA if you do this upgrade, and while I know most people probably won't miss the feature, I personally find it very useful.
View 3 RepliesI Learned on a Toyota Avalon web page that you can force your audio system to reboot itself by pressing the power button for three seconds. On the Avalon, it only works on the "Limited" levels. I tried it tonight on my Prius Four and it worked. Great to use when your audio gets "confused" and you just want to clear it and start over.
View 1 RepliesWhen my 2012 Prius II has audio in aux mode, for using the 3.5 mm aux audio jack, a super-loud and annoying buzz is created when I plug my laptop's power supply into the car via a 12V DC to 115V AC power converter plugged into either of the car's 12V aux power jacks.
I'm trying to listen to video lectures on DVD played on my laptop, feeding audio from my laptop to the car (2012 Prius II) using the 3.5 mm aux audio jack. I get clear sound when the laptop is running off battery. However, when I plug a 12V DC to 115V AC power converter into one of the 12V aux power jacks, there is a quiet and slightly annoying buzz.
When I then plug my laptop's power supply into the power converter (whether or not my laptop is connected to its power supply), the buzz's loudness and annoyance get magnified 10-fold, even if nothing is plugged into the aux audio jack. If the Prius audio mode gets switched to USB mode (with no input from the laptop), there is no buzz, so this seems particular to aux mode audio. (I cannot drive the car's audio from a video player on my laptop via USB mode, can I?)
I thought I remember reading a warning about this buzz and someone had a workaround, possibly involving some extra interface, but my searches on this forum aren't turning up anything. I plugged a surge protector into the power converter and got a mid-volume buzz, which went back to a full-volume buzz with the laptop power supply plugged in.
Is there some ?gain? adjustment for the various audio sources? The specific problem is that spoken NAV directions are very soft relative to the Sat programming. [Entune v 3.1]
OK, more reading and you (I) can adjust the NAV voice volume. Is there a way to balance out the Sat volume vs the radio volume?
I've read a lot of this forum and a lot of the manuals, but haven't found any adjustments beyond balance, tone and speed sensitive volume (automatic sound levelizer).
I have a Prius 2 (non nav) and would like to get a backup camera installed.
