09 reg cab rear cam wiring?

sunruner19 · 11-09-2008, 07:03 AM

According to Toyota, the rear cam is NOT available in the reg cab 4x4. However, it is installed in the tailgate handle, and wired up to some point in the cab. Obviously, this wiring is supposed to go to the inside rear mirror if you so happen to have a access or double cab model. I have looked in the drivers side kick panel and in back of the interior fuse panel for a white connector with 4 wires going to it. I am asuming its white because it is so in my Tundra when I installed a cam in that.

Does anyone have a clue as to where this harness is, before I start tearing apart the interior around the windshield. I intend on installing this to my avic z2 navigation system which has a rear cam connection. The actual mirror with the rear cam screen costs over 600 from toyota and there is just no way I am going to buy that.

I was guessing that it would be in the kickpanel box, since that's where they prewired the sat radio antenna in the 09s. A quick search turned up nothing either...

Let us know if you find out. It would be a good piece of info for the 09 guys...

You can buy a "Gentex" mirror for under $400 from another source. Gentex supplies the mirrors to Toyota. And the wiring should be run all the way to the headliner...

Thank you for that info. The install is alot easier than I thought using that mirror. I was assuming that Toyota just left a plug in the kick panel as they did with the trailer hitch, and xm radio install.

What puzzles me is why does Toyota say that it is not available in the reg cab when do they do prewire right up to the mirror?
