@kostas79 but in my last comment I thought I was specific enough. You need to tap your "back" or "reverse" cable into the cable #3 (brown) on the main black connector right behind your radio. Peel the cable off and connect the pink wire (in mine it was brown) to it with some electrical tape over it (I later replaced the electrical tape with heatshrink for a more professional job but is not mandatory) . If you want confirmation before peeling the cable check that this cable #3 is going to the 28 pin connector on pin #2 . If this is the case you will probably find that the car is not really filling this pin (if it was you would be getting the reverse signal) that's why you have to provide it in another way

I'm attaching an image of what I mean with "main connector" . Also, the pin is actually #14 if you look at the radio straight (it seems I said 3 before because I was looking at the radio with the top down) . Sorry for the confusion. Just know that it's brown and is going to the pin #2 in the 28 pin connector

Thank you very much i will do this asap

[kostas79]

I connected the pink cable from can bus to the brown cable of the main connector and back camera works. Thank you very much 

[kostas79]

The only issue i have now is that when i switch on the screen shows the clima settings for some seconds. And the other that the home screen does not keep my settings and shortcuts when i switch on! 

Thanks in advance android screen is a Real update for the car

[GabrielBB]

@kostas79Yes, the climate settings screen is shown Everytime something changed. For example if you have it in "auto" it will be shown Everytime the computer increases the fan speed. I also wish it could be disabled. And yes, I also have the shortcuts problems. Other settings like my Google Account and apps do stay saved but somehow visual changes not. Maybe the manufacturer has a firmware update we don't have. Who knows

[flash22]

swap the red and yellow (live and switch live) i should then hold its settings

[kostas79]

about settings memory i did this and seems to work but i wonto to check it during time.

How do you get into that hidden menu pls. I have a yaris cross 2023 and need to adjust a few things which toyota does not. Amasing how toyota keeps everything so secret but then uses outdated software which was always a problem from inception

I don't understand why I should start another topic. This question pertains actually something you are writing about or not. and what does "op" mean?

My car does not have an aftermarket Android Head Unit. Does your do? Is that the reason you can get in through that Hidden menu.

Anyway I thought one comes here to help each other solve Toyota vehicle issues.

Sorry I had to bother you. My apologies.

OP - original poster or other poster

this thread relates to the installation of an aftermarket (Android) radio in older cars

Mk1 Yaris Cross and the Mk4 Yaris use the touch2 gen 3 system or the smart connect system, they are locked-down systems with very little customization - specifications and models vary due to location and the importer

Hidden service menu for the touch2

 

Hidden service menu for the MM17

 

Press the Vol/Power button so it displays Audio Off
Press the MENU button

Touch «Display»
Touch «Screen off»

Quickly press CH, 5 times  and immediately press TRACK, 5 times

turn the ignition off to exit the menu

Hello people! I own a Yaris 2013 before the facelift. 

I has touch n go with factory camera.

So I bought and android unit for upgrade.

 

 

 

I have to find the reverse signal i have measaured at the 28pin but no 12v reserve found

[flash22]

the camera is on the 16 pin black connector, the factory camera is 6v

 

The reverse is on pin 5 of the 24-pin connector

There is no voltage when I measure there ... When I engage reverse

[flash22]

on pin 5 of the 24 pin connector? the pinouts are of the socket or wire side of the plug

Give me 10 minutes to check right now. I measured at the 28 pin

[F117]

I Cannot find a 24pin

Edited April 20 by F117

[flash22]

see if the cable has dropped down, if you do not have a 24-pin you have one of the cars between changeovers

the unused white connector may be a 20 pin - edit. it is a 20 pin

[flash22]

you will  have to wire in a reverse from the instrument panel junction box aka internal fuse box

pin 28 or 29

I am going to open it and tell you.

How on earth the reverse camera.was working with the stock screen??

[F117]

 

 

So i have to measure some voltage on 28 or 29 pin right?

i managed to remove the connector but no more light to help me measure...tommorow morning.

Thanks a lot

[F117]

28 pin has 12v when reverse is engaged.

Thanks

Now I have to make the connections.

Hope camera gets 12v and not 6v lol

@F117 Seems like you finally got it. Nice. In my case and the case of @kostas79 the radio has a canbus with a brown cable that was already giving this 12v signal on reverse. So your radio didn't come with it ?
