Question:

Will this sensor conflict with the factory installed back up camera on a 2012 Toyota Sienna? Just ordered this from you.

My technical contact at Hopkins Manufacturing advised there are no known conflicts between the OEM backup camera on the 2012 Toyota Sienna and the Hopkins License Bracket-Mount Backup Sensor, part # HM60100VA.

My research indicates the Sienna factory-installed backup camera is located to the left-of-center on the underside of the rear hatch handle. It is positioned roughly under the letter S of the Sienna logo.
It appears that the left-side sensor of the Hopkins system will sit just below the camera.

On the attached photo I have indicated some measurements of the Hopkins license plate bracket relative to the upper left mounting hole, which is the reference point nearest the camera housing. You can compare these measurements to your Sienna to gauge the fit of the sensor relative to the camera.

The Hopkins bracket will extend from the upper left mounting hole 3 inches to the left (toward the drivers-side), and 3/4-inch upward toward the hatch handle. As long as the camera housing does not fall within this area the two items will not interfere with one another.
