Wiring a Backup Camera 2nd Gen Tacoma Base Reg Cab

Anyone have any suggestions on how you run the wires into the cab to the radio? Under the truck to the engine bay and up? No too sure, new to this.

 

if you get under the truck, look under either side under the front seat. there will be a rubber grommet somewhere. cut an x in that grommet and push your wire through. the route it up the door sill, into the kick panel, across under the dash, and up behind the radio. DO NOT run it under the carpet in the footwell. it will get destroyed

 

Cool makes sense thank you! Now the silly question, how is it powered and triggered to turn on? How is the radio triggered to go to cam? I already have a android radio and all.

 

Down in the driver kick panel, there’s a pretty thick red/white wire. Super easy to spot. That is the reverse lights. Splice a thin wire into that and run it up behind the radio. Then splice on your radio’s reverse trigger wire and your camera power.

 

Great this seems super easy. I really appreciate you!! Whenever I do it this will definitely make things a lot easier.
