Wiring a 2005 Tacoma DCLB with a stock 2012 rear view camera

First post/mod!
Just upgraded from a base 2005 5-lugger (reg cab) to a beautiful 2005 SR5, prerunner, DCLB and am loving my "new" truck, but man she's long! I've purchased a stock 2013 touchscreen headunit, non JBL, non nav, in the hopes of wiring a rear view camera. I'm trying keep everything as close to stock as possible, and I'm realizing that's going to be much more challenging then I first imagined. I've ordered the camera (86790-04010) which should fit into the 2012 tailgate handle and harness that is also on it's way. And now I have to figure out how to connect and wire that harness to my headunit. Any and all advice will be appreciated. I'll try to keep this updated as parts start coming in.

You'll need that. And also, where did you get your wiring harness for a stock 2012 can from?

 

Wow, thanks for the link man! Hadn't come across that one. I found my harness and tailgate handle bundled together on eBay. Didn't get the parts in time to work on it before my semester started, so the install will have to wait till May. The cutting MJonAgs32 had to do to his tailgate worries me a little bit though.
