    Is there a way to get a stock camera to work on after market head unit? Either taking it from the review mirror or having both display. I stopped by best buy and asked about it the guy said it was impossible.

    I'm going to have to find someone close to do it. Best buy is lowest common denominator work. They quoted $304 parts and labor just to install the radio.

    What year is your truck? Head unit install is super easy. Just a matter of buying a harness and matching the colors. I had never installed a HU until my Tacoma.

    Here is the info about camera adapter. I don't think the seller has one for a 14.

    Bought it off eBay. From this buyer.
    http://www.ebay.com/sch/ckremernimro...1&_ipg=&_from=

    He can fabricate the harness to your equipment. It is almost plug and play. There was one wire I had to cut and tap into. Instructions where pretty straight forward.

    The seller includes instructions just be sure to read them and make sure you got it down. His instructions have extra in them like how to install a new camera. It threw me a curve at first.

    I didn't have a link either, but it isn't needed. Just send a message to 'ckremernimrod1' on eBay and let him know what model year of truck you have, etc, and you'll be fine. I had no problems, and couldn't be happier with the harness he built. I didn't get instructions with mine, but found them here on the forum. It may have just been an oversight with my order, but wouldn't hurt to confirm the instructions when you are ordering.

    Yeah, he didn't have any listed when I ordered mine either. We just did everything through private messaging on the eBay site. I don't know that he actually lists items anymore.
