    Hello, I added a swingout for the rear that is slated to be my camp kitchen when complete but it totally blocks my stock backup camera. The swingout kitchen is not permanent and will be removed to tow my boat quite often. I would like to wire up another backup camera and simply plug it into the factory harness behind the bumper when its installed and plug the factory camera back in when towing the boat. I have found an 8-pin connector to do the job but im wondering how to go about adapting a cheap aftermarket camera that typically use an RCA connection for signal. Has anyone who relocated their camera tried something similar?

    Pretty sure they sell aftermarket back up cameras that can be used on any vehicle, so it might just take finding one with the connector you desire. Try Googling 'back up camera with RCA connector'.

    Does your vehicle have all 8 wires or less?

    Its an 8-pin connector but I believe its only using half the pins. I do not have the 360 camera package. Just a backup camera. I found a pigtail connector that should work but I cant find any sort of wire diagrams on the stock Toyota connector.

    Could you take a picture of the connector you do have on the Taco?

    Turns out its actually using 5 of the pins on the connector. So Power, Ground & video signal + and - but what is the 5th?

    You could get the replacement harness for the tailgate

    Avoids any mistakes. Then de-pin the connector to the camera and add the video signals with the RCA pigtails. All the is missing fused power for the aftermarket camera. You can tap the towing connector on the trailer battery charging circuit (with an inline fuse also).

    Wow it’s 8 position now? @caribe makaira do you know if the camera spec has changed at all? I’m guessing just that cable? A higher res camera in the same form factor would be so nice.

    No info on that, yet. The full 8 is for the Panoramic feature which talks to the CAN-BUS.

    This is removable.

    $125 may not be cheap, but it certainly isn't expensive.
