were you an electrical engineering major in college or did you learn how to do this via trial and error? that would have taken me, like, three days to complete and even then i would be doubtful if it were to work correctly. i'd have to have it installed.
anyhow, i really like what you have done and i wish that i could do it as well. i'm still waiting for my parallel parking unit from Nigel. he said it would take about three to four weeks from yesterday. hopefully sooner rather than later.

Like dojoman said, it's really not difficult. Particularly with the beat-sonic set, there are no wire splicing at all. The entire kit is plug-n-play... aside from physically mounting the camera (which I've now solved as sketch above) the only thing that's even remotely difficult is pulling things apart to get to the plugs and finding a nice way to route those wires and secure down the modules.
if i can't install the jdm camera that i ordered from Nigel like ten years ago, then i'll come to you guys for help because i don't have a clue as to what to do. in all honestly, when it arrives i'm probably taking it to tommy at the music box.
And.... it's that time of the season again... back to depressing winter mode
Making use of the "winter" exhaust tips for the first time... trimmed them back about 1/2" so they don't poke out as much (since they're designed to be used with the Rowen rear skirts instead of the Aimgain ones"
Nice and clean install...that button is icing on the cake. Did you do the install yourself? Was it hard?
Thank you for the kind comments. I did the install myself, it was pretty straight forward and simple since it as a plug-n-play kit with no wire splicing. The only time consuming part was pulling off the front bumper.

Can you send the link to the beat sonic camera? The link I found and the tutorial on the page showed soldering wires.. which I assume you didn't have to do. Also, did you have to purchase the button separately?

There are 3 components required for my setup: Camera Interface - Front Camera Unit -
Toyota Button - comes from CS6 kit (can be bought separately for about $7)
All of which I bought directly from Beat Sonic USA
The Video shows wire soldering is optional really. The Interface kit itself is a direct plug and play, the only thing which requires power for the whole setup is the camera unit... which is where the soldering from the video is.. It all comes down to how you want to supply power to it, you can splice into an existing power source or use a "add-a fuse".
As easy as I think this install is, if you are not 100% comfortable with this, you should take it to a professional for install.
hope this helps
Thanks bud. Didn't realize the set up was close to $400...
NP buddy. It is on the pricey side, but everyone that saw it after I put it on says that they have never seen an aftermarket camera that clear.. it's OEM quality. (because made in Japan) I believe the camera is a SONY unit.
can you pm me the canadian dealer's website and info?
The place I ordered my Rowen from is NEXTMOD from Ontario Canada. They have facebook and instagram, but I dont' think their website says much. The contact I deal with for Rowen products was Peter: Just email him directly for anything you are looking for
