Dasaita 2016 Toyota Tacoma – Factory Rear Camera Works Through F-CAM but Not in Reverse


  • Hello,

    I’m looking for technical assistance with a Dasaita head unit installed in my 2016 Toyota Tacoma with the factory backup camera.

    The primary problem is that when I shift the truck into reverse, the head unit automatically switches to the reverse-camera screen and displays the parking guidelines, but no camera image appears. Instead, I get the warning/error symbol shown in one of the attached photos.

    I have done some troubleshooting that seems to narrow the problem down considerably.

    In the Dasaita factory settings, I enabled F-CAM / Front Camera and rebooted the unit. When I then opened the Front Camera app, I was able to see a clear, live video feed from the truck’s factory rear camera. I have attached a photo showing this.

    This appears to establish that:

    • The factory Toyota rear camera itself is working.
    • The camera is powered and producing a usable video signal.
    • The Dasaita is capable of receiving and displaying that camera signal.
    • The head unit is also recognizing when the vehicle is shifted into reverse, because it automatically changes to the reverse-camera interface.
    • The problem therefore appears to be related to which video input is being used/routed for the rear camera, rather than a failed factory camera.

    There is another wiring issue that makes me suspect I may have been supplied with the wrong AV/camera harness or that something is missing.

    The female yellow RCA connector coming directly from the back of the head unit is labeled “FRONT-CAMERA.”

    I do not see an equivalent female RCA connector labeled Rear Camera / Camera In / CAM VIN coming from the head unit.

    The supplied harnesses do contain yellow RCA leads labeled CAM VIN, but those CAM VIN connectors are male RCA plugs. Therefore, they cannot connect directly to the other male camera RCA connection.

    In other words, from what I can find:

    Head unit:
    Female yellow RCA → FRONT-CAMERA

    Supplied harness(es):
    Male yellow RCA → CAM VIN

    I have checked both supplied harnesses, and neither one appears to provide a female rear-camera RCA input.

    This is what I am particularly concerned about. I would normally expect there to be a female RCA video input associated with the rear camera, but the only female yellow camera RCA I can locate coming from the head unit is specifically labeled FRONT-CAMERA.

    The Toyota interface/CANBUS module supplied with the installation is:

    Simple Soft RP2-TY-001
    P/N: ZQ.RP2TY001-000

    I have attached detailed photos showing:

    • The overall wiring installation
    • The CAM VIN connectors
    • The FRONT-CAMERA connector
    • The connectors at the rear of the Dasaita
    • The RP2-TY-001 module
    • The rear camera successfully displaying through the F-CAM app
    • The error screen that appears when the truck is actually shifted into reverse

    Could you please help me determine where to go from here? I have already enabled rear camera in factory settings and ensured that canbus is on option 8.



  • My order number is SP-DA10163

    It was installed on a factory 2016 Toyota tacoma with a factory back up cam. 

    I am also attaching a picture of the canbus


  • this is the error screen when in reverse


  • and this is the forward cam screen when opened with the F cam app. As you can see, this is the rear camera.


  • UPDATE: support has emailed me back. Unfortunately, I don't think I explained or they understood my issue well. I will post what they said and include the image they said to reference; and then explain why this advice does not help me.

    Hi,
    Thanks for your contact.
    1.Please notice to connec the CANBUS ,disconnecting it from the CB047-1.
    2.Please connect the camera to CAMIN cable.
    We remain at your service.
    Best regards,

    Dasaita Support Team


  • I do not have the CB047-1 hooked up at all, and my CANBUS is hooked up. I have one yellow female RCA coming directly off the back of the head unit labeled "front camera". I have two yellow male RCA plugs, both labeled "cam Vin" and neither of them being plugged in allows the back up cam to work. 


  • @Scott Gardner 

    Hi Scott,the CB004-1 is compatible with your car.

    Please notice that each 4/4-1 camear with a yellow RCA cable,if your connected the No.4 to your factory connector,Please connect the corresponding RCA.
