Hi - I have an 07 FJ - 6 speed, manual. I have an aftermarket stereo and camera installed. Lately, when I put in revers, the reverse camera and sensors that beep as I get close to something, have not been consistently turning on. Where do i start to look to trouble shoot it?
 
Since its aftermarket, you have to find where they tapped in to get the signal. They could have tried at that rear sonar dash switch, or likely they tapped a reverse light circuit somewhere out back by the camera. The connection could just be loose and crappy, which is causing the intermittent working.
 
If you can track down the harness in the rear were the sensors and camera is connected, I would start there and see what they use to connect the wires. Same thing goes were the radio is hooked up sometimes the wire runs all the way to the front were the head unit is. @SanDiegoFJ60
