2017 IS350 Back Up Camera
#31
I have been looking at aftermarket cameras and even replacing my rear view mirror with a built in camera display, so I thought I would peel pack my interior trunk panel and check and see if I had the mystery plug, and yes, I do! So it looks like plug and play for the camera, but how do you handle the mounting? Can you replace just the panel under the trunk lid with one that accepts the camera or does it take drilling into the existing panel?
Hijack87 - how did you handle that part of the install?

Thanks hijack87
Do you have a picture after you put the trim piece back on? I'm looking to get the camera for a 2014 IS 350 that didn't come with one and wondering if I should also buy the trim piece or just cut it like you did.

Wow, Thanks for the update with pictures. This is exactly what I'm trying to do on my Canadian car. I found a camera and it works however.... how did you measure the template to cut the metal? I see you taped it and drew it on, but how did you measure it, we don't want to over cut it. Thanks for your help

I know this sounds desperate but If anyone has a 2017 is350 base model who is willing to remove his trunk trim and take detailed pictures of how the back up camera is installed including where the wire goes and etc I'm giving 20 bucks! (like a continuation of mine see pics above. or better yet if you can remove it for a while and take photos of the camera itself. ill give 40 bucks!. you can post the pics here and pm me your email and ill paypal the money

For those who want to go the OEM route - here are the part numbers you need. It's not cheap, but I did not want to take the risk with a used or aftermarket, so my order is placed. All parts ~$660 through mylparts.com with Club Lexus discount (CL5)
86790-53031 Camera
82181-53040 Wire Harness (connects the camera to the existing plug in trunk - camera does not come with it)
76801-53090-XX. Trim with hole cutout for camera - "XX" is your paint code

It lets you search every scrapyard in North America for whatever you need. It includes pricing and part quality. There are lots of backup cameras on there.
