Connecting the Factory Reverse Camera

If you're installing a VHEDIA head unit into your Toyota Hilux SR5 (2011–2015) and planning to retain the factory reverse camera, this guide will walk you through connecting it properly — especially if your vehicle uses the 4-pin reverse camera plug.

Some Hilux SR5 models from 2011 to 2015 come with a 4-pin plug for the reverse camera. If this is the case, you’ll need to use the extra 4-pin harness included in your VHEDIA kit to adapt the camera signal to the new head unit.

The 4-pin harness has three cables that need to be wired correctly to the 6-pin grey harness (this is the reverse camera retention harness).

Here's How You Connect Them:

 12V (Yellow) - 12V (Red) 

 GND (Black) - GND (Black) 

 CAM IN (Black) - CAM IN (Purple)

Once you've matched the wires correctly, plug the 6-pin grey harness into the reverse camera input port at the back of your VHEDIA head unit.

Please see this video guide (starting at the 6:00 minute mark): 

Now when you put the vehicle in reverse, the factory camera should automatically display on your VHEDIA headunit's screen. If it doesn't, make sure the connections are secure and the camera is receiving power (check with a multimeter if needed).

Is your factory reverse camera plug a 4-pin? If yes, check the retention cable with SKU VH-APVT04.

How To Trim The Fascia To Fit The AC Vents

How to prepare the new fascia:

  1. Remove the old climate-control trim.

  2. Locate the small extension tabs on the new fascia—these cover wider AC vents.

  3. If your vents are full-width snip off those extension tabs with pliers or scissors (as seen on the image below)

  4. Test-fit: the trimmed fascia should slide into place cleanly and clips/bosses should align.

How to Fit the New Fascia

When installing a new head unit for the Toyota Hilux SR5 (2011–2015), it’s essential to properly fit the new fascia. You might encounter issues with the fascia not fitting correctly due to an extra cover on the AC/climate controls section. Follow these steps to resolve this and complete the installation:

1. Identify the Extra Cover

  • Inspect the new fascia and locate the additional cover on the AC/climate controls section.

  • This extra cover can prevent the fascia from fitting properly if not removed.

2. Remove the Screws

  • Using a screwdriver, unscrew the fasteners securing the extra cover to the fascia.

  • Keep the screws in a safe place in case they are needed later.

4. Fit the New Fascia

By following these steps, you’ll ensure a seamless installation of the new fascia for your Toyota Hilux SR5 head unit.
