Backup Camera

2006 Tacomas did not come from the factory with a backup camera. Any suggestions or recommendations on what is available out there?

 

Most aftermarket head units come with a backup camera, might be the easiest

 

Many brands out there, and a wide price range. Just wondering what unit any of you '06 owners tried or use and could recommend.

 

I bough a Poplock locking tailgate handle and used a junkyard OE camera in it. There may be better options out there for the camera tho. The OE camera needs some fussing with to work with an aftermarket display.

 

06 has a locking tailgate handle already. Is the OE camera wired?

Considered this for my wife's car

 

Yes. Oe camera is a wired connection. My truck was not pre-wired.

Pic of your handle?

 

I put an Alpine head unit and Crux camera in my 07. I'm very happy with both. The wiring was kind of fussy, but it works with the steering wheel controls, has nav and Bluetooth, and the camera has a good display.

 

Bet you have an aftermarket handle.

Pop n lock most likely
