Camera wires

Hello have a question i have a 2008 Tacoma with pop and lock latch on tailgate so it has a place to mount camera on latch but cant seem to find cable from radio to camera that fits on latch alot of cameras with wires but dont mount on latch please help me find cable or camera that will fit thanks

 

Try rephrasing the question maybe? You need a camera that mounts to the pop & lock latch? Any other needs?

 

Welcome to TW…

 

See post #4.
But it wouldn't hurt to look over the whole discussion.

I have a 2008 base model Toyota Tacoma with a pop & lock latch on tailgate so my question is the latch fits a stock camera ive seen online they have cameras but i cant find a cable to run to the radio its an aftermarket radio how do i go about running a camera to a pop & lock lacth not buy a latch with camera or put on license plate i want the latch because it locks any ideas how I can do this? Thank you.

 

I have an OEM reverse camera harness and OEM latch for sale if needed. Let me know

 

If you want the image to display in the head unit you need to start your research with that vendor.

Ask things like will it support that? Is there a kit to make proper connections with? Can I use a factory camera as part of the set up?

My 13 has the display in the rear mirror, I suspect other second gens would too. I had to add the mirror and the camera, but the wiring was all there.

Have you opened up the tailgate and looked?

 

I have an 2008 and there is no wiring in my tailgate and would assume other 2008 are the same. I also have a pop and lock with a spot for a backup camera and my head unit supports a backup camera. To install it I’d have to run the wires from the head unit to the tailgate and connect it to the reverse wire on the tail light.

I would recommend that you start with your head unit to see if it supports a backup camera and go from there.

 

Doesnt make sense why its so complicated to get harness and camera for pop and lock handel you would think alot of people have instaled one

 

My 2008 has wires behind license plate but nothing for camera that i can see
