Can a Toyota Yaris L be equipped with a reversing camera?

Toyota Yaris L can be equipped with a reversing camera. The installation process involves first removing the rear trunk decorative panel to install the camera. After the camera is installed, the wiring is routed along the door edges. The reading light and glove box are then removed, and the wiring is connected to the decoder. Finally, a 7-inch large screen is installed. It is recommended to have this modification performed at a professional 4S shop. Taking the 2021 Toyota Yaris L as an example, it is a compact car with body dimensions of 4160mm in length, 1700mm in width, and 1495mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2550mm and a fuel tank capacity of 42 liters. This model is powered by a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 112 PS, a maximum power output of 82 kW, and a peak torque of 139 Nm, paired with an 8-speed continuously variable transmission.
Yes, you can definitely install a rearview camera. I installed one on the back of my own Yaris. This car has a screen interface reserved on the dashboard, so the installation isn't difficult. You'll need to prepare a camera host and a rearview mirror display screen, or you can directly replace it with an Android head unit that has a built-in screen. I recommend choosing a wide-angle night vision camera, and the most discreet location to install it is near the license plate light in the trunk. Make sure to route the wiring away from high-temperature areas and moving parts, and connect it to the reverse light power line to trigger the display. I spent a little over 300 yuan on materials doing it myself, but if you hire someone to install it, it might cost around 800 yuan. After the modification, the rearview camera can clearly show obstacles within half a meter, which is much more reliable than radar, especially on rainy days.
