Rear Camera Relocate

Does anyone know if the connectors for the tailgate camera on the 2005-2016 are the same as ours on the 3rd gen? I've been looking into rear camera relocate/extension kits that can just replace my current (and letting my leave my current in place) and came across these 2 options. The first is cheaper and comes with a license plate mount so would be ideal, but says "2005-2016". I've found that most sites say it should be the same but wondering if anyone can confirm.

2016 is 3rd gen

 

Haha great catch! Guess that answers my question!

I'll leave this up in case anyone else is interested in the links

 

I wonder if this location is better for the camera than the existing on the gate. I get a lot of reflection since is pointing right at the license plate lights.

 

I'm really looking into this because I'm planning on getting a Rigd swingout which would pretty much block the camera altogether. That is a good point though!

 

And the camera they put on our 3rd gens could be a little better

 

I wonder if anybody has done this setup to see a comparison.

 

In daylight it's fine.

 

Yes I’m daylight it is fine.

 

Following. Interested to see if this would actually center the image.

 

It the rain it is useless.

 

Any camera is useless in the rain in that location.

 

On my 2017 Rogue the camera is in a covered area so it works much better.

 

It's on sale until Sunday maybe I will give it a try.

 

I ordered the camera lets see how it works I will post results when installed and tested.

rigd makes a relocation kit. it says it's for 4runner, but i'm certain it would work for Tacoma since it has a loom that runs all the way to the back of the head unit.

 

This plugs in right their at the base of the tailgate behind the license plate OEM plug. Plug and Play

 

It's more expensive and unknown if it will work.
