Learn how to install aftermarket car radio DVD GPS navigation for Toyota Camry 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 year model, which brings you much more entertainment and convenience than the factory car stereo system. The aftermarket 2012-2015 Toyota Camry navigation DVD radio has become a fashion these days for its multi-functions like DVD player, Bluetooth hands free phone, Bluetooth music, GPS navigation system, HD 8 inch touch screen, etc.

Installation of this head unit is easy for a professional car stereo shop, it’s plug and play because the power cords included in the package are specially for factory wiring harness of new Toyota Camry. There are two kinds of Toyota Camry navigation DVD available because the dashboard for different countries are a little different, the below model is for America and Middle East Version:

toyota camry america version

And this model is for the Toyota Camry Europe version:

toyota camry europe version

Though they look different, but the software and firmware and hardware are all the same and installation is more or less the same. Firstly you will need to remove the top cover and air vents, then remove trims on both sides, remove screws to take out the factory Toyota Camry radio and CD player and climate control, then plug all cables with factory wiring harness, push the new Toyota Camry navigation DVD radio into the dash, fix screws and install back the screws, trims, air vents and top cover.

You can click this link to download the full installation manual: Install Toyota Camry Radio DVD Navigation 2012-2015

This installation manual is just for your reference, if you have never installed such a unit before, we highly suggest you asking a professional mechanic to install for you, and you can send this manual to your installer before installing.

As for the cables, there’s power cables included with a CAN-BUS to support steering wheel control, a USB cable which can be put in the glove box, and GPS antenna can be put at top right of the dashboard. The RCA cables allow you to connect external amplifier and sub-woofer.

This Toyota Camry navigation DVD can also support a rear view camera, installation of the camera is a little complicated because you need to run video cable from the front to the rear trunk, and the camera should be powered with 12V reverse light, and there’s a wire label with “BACK” from the RCA cables which also should be connected with 12V reverse light, so that the DVD monitor can automatically display rear view images after putting in reverse gear.

How to set gps path for aftermarket car gps navigation?

More and more car owners are interested in upgrading the factory stereo with more functional and modern aftermarket head unit which comes with gps navigation system built-in. That’s because the original navigation is too expensive and it does not have so much function as the aftermarket navigation unit which has many other functions like USB, SD, iPod, DVD, RDS, and so on, while the gps navigation function is the main consideration for most buyers.

Normally the gps navigation system is built-in, and gps maps are in a SD card which should be put into the GPS card slot which is usually at the front panel of the gps unit. If you have got a SD card with maps, then you can insert it into the GPS card slot, not the other SD slot, the SD slot can not read gps maps. Then you can go to main menu, find settings, click it, and look for navigation menu or gps menu, then click it to enter into gps path settings, then choose the exe file from the gps files, save it, that’s all. Let’s show you some pictures for your reference, all pictures are from our BMW navigation system.

1. Turn on the gps unit, back to main menu, find “settings”

2. Click settings, then you will see another interface for all the settings of this gps unit

gpspath_2

 

As you can see GPS setup, this is the place to set gps path, the gps monitor shows the gps satellite signal, you can see how many gps sattlite is connected with this gps unit from GPS Monitor. Only if your car is outdoor can you receive better gps signal, if your car is in the house, the gps signal is weak or not at all.

3. You can see navigation path settings as below. If your map is IGO, the final gps path should be IGO.exe or IGO8.exe or Primo.exe. The after market gps navigation units can also support other maps like Route66, Papago, Tomtom, etc, the map should be compatible with Wince6.0 system and 800*480 resolution.

After you set all done, you can turn to GPS then you can use gps navigation right away. If you have a problem for gps navigation system, sometimes there may be an error from maps, then you can get another map, especially if you download maps online, make sure there’s no error while downloading and compressing all files. If the maps are ok and you still can not use gps function, the SD card may be defective, so you can try another SD card and copy the same map files.
