Anytime Rear Camera Mod for 2nd Gen Tacomas

Shoutout to @Logistics91 for the work on the kit and the support when my dumb ass installed the Y harness backwards. Fantastic support from the jump and it’s great to have it up and running!

 

Appreciate the support man.

Order Placed, can't wait!

 

Order received Willy. Will process it asap.

Thanks.

Would I need to purchase the kit to get the camera in the dash instead of the mirror, or can I order the head unit kit? Thank you!

 

You’d have to get a different kit to mirror the video source to the head unit. I don’t offer those unfortunately.

How can I copy this ^^^^^ I have a 2013 and the screen is in the rearview mirror. I would like to upgrade the head unit that has a screen. That way I can add the front camera also.

 

I forget the post, but there is a thread here on TW on how to mirror the rearview mirror display to the head unit.

Ordered a complete kit with green switch earlier, looking forward to this mod

 

I bought a harness from camera source. I had to modify the connector to the head unit to allow it to fit, but other than that it worked great. I still get a blue screen on the mirror though for a second or two when I go into reverse, but it goes away

 

Fwiw with the soldering skill needed to install this mod it's not hard to customize the led colors of the switch(es). On the small push switches they are just 3mm through hole leds with a 1/4W through hole resistor. Once you pop the back off and pry the switch slideways off the button you can change either the color or illumination level by swapping leds/resistors. The seat heater switches I have in the same bank use smd leds and resistors but though smaller, the soldering process is the same.

 

Are the Center Stack switches the correct size to mount in Iggy's front switch panels? If so, I'll be ordering one of those!

 

Iggy's panels are made to fit the taller switches rather than the small Toyota push switches. If you want to use Iggy's panel in the center cubby you'll want the tall camera switch(es).

Money sent !
Thanks

 

Yup, I already got one of his panels, I just wanted to make sure I got the correct switch here for it. Thanks!!

 

Switch panel is almost done. Soon I'll be rocking dual cameras. The kit is great and the instructions are complete to the point it took me some time to fully comprehemd how I wanted it to integrate with my ocd. Thank you for providing this excellent service.

 

@Logistics91 Payment sent

 

If you pull the dead pedal, kick plate, lower left dash panel, and instrument cluster you can run the front camera wires (or any others going to the center console area) over the top of the instrument cluster, there's lots of space up there and it leads directly to the head unit. I used a piece of 1/4" air line to fish them through the main grommet and then up over the cluster(stiff enough to push as well as pull and slick so it doesn't hang up. Maybe 15 minutes to pull those dash pieces for access.

 

Clicked on the link, sent the payment, but after not hearing anything for a few days, I kinda feel funny about randomly sending away $50. Can someone tell me if this is standard operating procedure and I should be expecting a package in the next week or not?
