hi, lasem99
I need help on doing exactly the same thing for my is350 2007 .
I have the unit purchased but I really want to retain my oem backup cam
appreciate it
Notice in the top of the diagram:
* 7 : w/ Television Camera Controller
* 8 : w/o Television Camera Controller
(*7) If your camera wiring goes to the (Television Camera Controller) then follow the steps in post #1, but with this diagram. (You might see different wire colors or plug names, but they look the same as the GS).
(*8) Otherwise the camera wiring will go directly to the OEM headunit. If so, go with steps in post#12.
Hi all,
The OEM camera connections for the 2008 GS, and I think the 2010 will be the same, is going directly to the OEM Headunit without going through a (Television Camera Controller) like the 2006.
In that case, you will need a 6v power input because the OEM camera is powered by the OEM Headunit. One simple way to do that is to use a 7806 transistor and a heatsink.
Here is a link discribing how to convert 12v to 6v : http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/27...et-stereo.html
2008 GS OEM camera connection
K 47
1- First, Bring one normal RCA cable and cut one head of it. Locate the K 47 plug behind the Headunit and connect the positive and negative of the RCA cable to pin 27 and 28 respectively. The other side of the RCA goes to the Headunit.
2- Connect the 6v power you prepared to pin 13(CB+) and pin 14 (CGND) of the K 47 plug.
3- Locate pin 13 [REV] in the K 46 plug and connect it to the (Reverse) wire from the Headunit.

hi lasem99,
question on if this is the same diagram for 2007 gs350? Also, for the step 2 above. Do you just connect the 6v transistor and It’ll lower the voltage to the camera? There is no in at 12v and out at 6v connections?

I think the link i gave explains how to convert 12 to 6v. If you are asking if it is plug and play, then the answer is no. You need a multimeter to double check your work and see if you are getting 6v before connecting.
I know you mentioned that you have the ML system (like yours) NAV, Backup Cam and the parking sensors ... my main concern with this install is whether or not my ML system will still work and if the parking sensors will still work. I haven't really seen anyone with a clear answer on it. I would love to get one of these screens (I have seen another brand/screen a believe an inch bigger or so) but I don't want to lose the basic functions I like with the car now. Trying to have my cake and eat it too, I know smh
