2013 Scion FR-S Backup Camera Installation using BCUS2
Materials Needed:
-
Panel Removal Tool
10mm socket, socket wrench, extension
Very small flat head screw driver (the ones used to disassemble glasses)
Extra stereo wires (up to 7.5ft)
1 x Ring Terminal for wire ground
Electric Tape
1 x Male 14-16 Gauge Bullet Connector
Step 1: Remove the OEM head unit
-
Using the panel removal tool, remove the
panel surrounding the head unit. Simply
wedge a panel removal tool in the area
indicated with the arrow. There are 4 clips
holding this piece – 2 on the top and 2 on
the bottom (approximate location indicated
with an ©).
-
Unscrew the 4 x 10mm bolts shown below
using a 10mm socket with extension and
wrench turning counter clockwise. After
removal, disconnect all the connectors from
the head unit and place head unit in a safe
area. (Head unit will not be needed until the
last step)
Step 2: Driver's side kick panel
-
1 clip holding the kick panel. Remove, then
turn it to expose the connectors behind the
kick panel
Step 3: The purple wire supplied with BCUS2
-
Extend the purple wire supplied with BCUS2
with an additional 3ft wire, then tap the
purple extended wire to the pink wire on
pin#5.
-
Use the supplied Posi-Tap as shown in the
picture. This pink wire will provide the signal
the head unit needs to switch over the
screen to the back up camera.
Step 4: Route the purple wire to behind the head unit
-
Re-install the driver’s side kick panel and then route the extended purple wire to the area behind the
head unit.
Use zip ties to secure the wires to make sure that it won’t hang.
Step 5: Pin the purple wire
-
Locate the 28 pin connector coming out of
the car side.
-
Unlock the connector using a small flat head
screw driver on only one side (Right side)
-
-
Insert the purple wire into pin#2 making
sure the side with the ridges is facing the
lock-side of the connector. You should hear
a click.
Lock the connector by pressing the bottom
flat side. You should hear a click.
Step 6: Install the backup camera
-
Depending on the camera, follow manufacturer’s instructions.
Mount location for the Beat-Sonic BCAM7W will be on the license plate screw hole – the right side one.
Step 7: Route the backup camera wiring
-
-
Ground the backup camera in the trunk area
The camera power will need to be routed to the rear of the head unit. In order to do this, the line will
need to be extended approximately 4.5ft if routing through the passenger's side. If routing the wires
through the driver's side, should not need that much extra wires. (This may vary depending on what
camera is being used)
Video cable should not need an extension.
Use zip ties to secure the wires from falling out or hanging.
The door sills will just pop out (Only clips holding the piece)
Step 8: BCUS2 connection
-
Using a 14-16 gauge male bullet connector, connect the power wire from the backup camera to the
white wire on the BCUS2
Using electrical tape, tape the two bullet connector connections for extra protection.
Connect the yellow RCA video cable from the backup camera to BCUS2 adapter.
Tap the red wire from BCUS2 to Power Accessory wire using the provided Posi-tap
Step 9: Connect all the connectors back to the head unit along with the BCUS2 adapter
-
The opposite side of BCUS2 adapter will not be connected to anything for the Scion FR-S.
The below picture shows where the BCUS2 connects
Step 10: Mount and re-install the head unit.
- Make sure you reconnect all the connectors back to the head unit. There will be one empty connector.
Step 11: Turn on the car, put it to reverse gear and watch your backup camera work!
