    I've read this thread:

    http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/audio-video/30889-oem-camera-connection-below-dash.html

    on how people get their OEM backup camera and wire working without splicing anything. I made a RCA cable like in that thread, with pins soldered on the ends of the video cable. I have it pulled to the fuse box and the other ends are plugged into my Clarion VX404.


    My problem is, the wiring in my 2014 looks diffferent than this guy's pics.

    Does anyone know where I am supposed to plug in the 3 connections? V+, V- and the turn-on (backup lights on) wire?

    Sorry, I can't help much here. I did get my backup camera working, but I went through eBay and had the guy that makes custom cables do one for me. That let me just plug into my existing factory camera plug.

    I do know that I found some 2014 instructions that used my same cable, and when I went to do it in my 2015, the wire colors were different, but the wire locations were the same. My best advice is to see if you can get the locations that they are talking about, and not be too surprised if the colors are different. From my really limited tinkering that I have done so far, the locations have been the same, but the wiring color has been hit and miss. I wish you the best of luck, if I could be of better help, I'd do it in a second.

    I have some close-ups of my stereo installed and at different screens (nav, gauges, stations, etc) but I don't have a more distant view showing more of the dash. I'll be happy to take a few and post them up.

    I have a 2015 and a Pioneer AVIC-Z140BH. I also just purchased a harness on ebay to integrate the stock backup camera. The harness was about $60, but in my opinion it was worth it because it's plug & play. Had it up and running in 15 minutes. I noticed the video quality is a little bit lower, but it's acceptable.

    The connection for the camera in my 2014 truck is right on the harness stereo it will look like those picture from that link.
    But You will need a voltage regulator 6.5v volt to power the camera on.I got my from a local Radio Shack 5.0 volts they didn't have 6.0 volts http://www.radioshack.com/-5v-fixed-voltage-regulator-7805/2761770.html#.VT8L4YHD_qA this will cost 2$ you will need this because those 6 volts are coming from the radio it self since you are using a after market HU there is no power from it, also the vss And reverse trigger is in the same harness. I didn't want to pay 60$ on Ebay for something so easy . The hardest thing was to drive 4 miles to radio shack. I'm using a HU NEX 7000 with OEM CAM. Any more questions PM me good luck!!

    I think your connector is in the A-pillar, driver side. If you pull that off, you will see it there.
