    So 2019 we go to the other thread? 2020+ to this thread for the 6 way camera connector?

    Depends where you prefer to have the camera selection relay, under the bumper or behind the Head Unit. The camera connector is not too critical.

    What I have:

    - 2017 Tacoma TRD OffRoad with stock head unit and tailgate backup cam.
    - Teardrop-ish tow-behind camper with no backup camera.

    What I want:

    - A front camera that is selectable via a GermesLab RFCC.
    - A rear camera on the trailer that is automatically enabled if the trailer is connected, overriding the built-in trailer camera.

    I'm confused on what I need to buy and fabricate to make this work.

    My current list:

    - This camera for the trailer:
    $40 NATIKA Backup/Front View Camera,IP69K Waterproof Great Night Vision HD and Super Wide Angle Metal OEM Style Reverse Rear View Backup Camera for Cars Pickup Trucks SUVs RVs Vans (Black)
    Amazon.com: NATIKA Backup/Front View Camera,IP69K Waterproof Great Night Vision HD and Super Wide Angle Metal OEM Style Reverse Rear View Backup Camera for Cars Pickup Trucks SUVs RVs Vans (Black) : Electronics
    - This kit for the Germes RFCC and front camera:
    $165 Front Backup Camera Control Connection Kit Smart Car Camera Switch GermesLab. Compatible with Tacoma 2014-2019, Adapter+Camera
    Amazon.com: Front Backup Camera Control Connection Kit Smart Car Camera Switch GermesLab. Compatible with Tacoma 2014-2019, Adapter+Camera : Electronics

    What I'm missing is stuff that will connect the trailer camera such that it automatically overrides the tailgate camera. I'm more than capable of fabricating my own wiring, but I'd much rather use my checkbook-wrench to buy a harness/adapter that just plugs in.
