2nd gen, Anytime-On Rear View Camera with Switch on Dash mod

For anyone else in the same boat as me. This is what finally ended up working for me.
2011 sr5

 

Hey guys. I got the switch working. However after about five minutes the camera turn off. I have to toggle the switch back and and forth again to get it to turn on for another 5 minutes. Is there some sort of timeout on the camera??

 

I have a 2011 sr5, with Joying HU and Joying rev cam.
I left the camera in mirror alone.
I’d like to add a front camera and use switch to view the front and aftermarket rev cam anytime.
Tying to figure out easiest way to accomplish it. Everything I’m finding is using factory cameras.
Appreciate any help, Thanks

I have no experience with this kit, perhaps others can chime in.

I did the relay method for the backup cam button and it worked great for me.

 

I thought this as the IN1 plug... but now I'm stumped, disconnected the switch and put it in reverse, backup camera still comes on.

Thoughts??

You're year Taco doesn't have it.

 

Thanks Caribe

l looked around for threads on the 15, wonder what the easy solution is.

 

Connector slot numbers are opposite of wires side. (Looking into the removed connector)

 

Thanks to the OP for the legwork and instructions, and to Robman for the diagram for using an SPST switch for the application! I don't guess I NEEDED to go that route, but I do like the closer-to-factory look it gave. I soldered in connections to a new head unit, and I can see all kinds of things behind me now.

 

Glad that worked out for ya!

 

Updating an old thread with a new switch option: Rocker Switch, SPDT, Rocker Switch - 2LNC9|2LNC9 - Grainger Fits in the OEM hole where the locker switch goes in the dash (with some minor filing). Works great and looks semi-OEM

 

Curious if you kept troubleshooting and found a way to make it work without the CEL? I have a 2012 access cab (base model) that's doing the same thing and I'd almost rather ditch the mod than keep getting lights on my dash and codes on my OBD2 for something I only plan to use while towing.
