2013 Bluetooth touchscreen install in my 06

What did it take for the wiring for the backup camera?
I just put a 2015 radio in my 2005 and want the backup camera

 

I had previously purchased a used tailgate handle with the camera mount and the rostra kit is designed to mount in the Toyota factory mount. I bought the Rostra kit and it was pretty straight forward. There is one pin on I think the 28 pin radio harness that has to be inserted, and one wire that taps into the reverse lights under the driver side kick panel. The rest of the wires just get fished out of the cab and back to the tailgate. I did drill out a larger access hole in the bottom of the tailgate.

They have a video on the site describing the install in the tailgate for a pre-wired truck, but it doesn't show what you have to do in the cab. Install is similar on a non pre-wired truck. They do provide instructions describing what you do with the wiring.

That's awesome looks way easier then trying to recreate the factory harness
Can you get a picture of the camera mounted? curious to see fit
Also was the enough extra cable (in your opinion) I have a dclb

 

Plenty of wire, I think I looped the extra cable twice inside the tailgate. Ill have to get a picture later. It looks like a factory install which to me was what I was going for. The camera is slightly recessed in the tailgate handle so you don't really see it unless you bend down and look for it.

The only thing that is slightly off is the image displayed is slightly shifted to one side. you can see it in the radio image i loaded previously. I think this is because the camera is mounted slightly off center in the tailgate handle. By design the mount location is not in the center of the tailgate.

 

Sub'd

 

so to install on my 2010 all i would need is the 28 pin harness,antenna adapter, and the bluetooth mic?
what about a bezel? im looking at someone whos selling a 15 unit, would it be better to find a 14?

 

I have a 2011 that I've installed a 2014 entune in. I have been told multiple answers about the antenna adapter blue wire and where to add it. I have been told +constant, ignition acessory. If anyone has installed one please let me know what color and function wire I need to tie into.

 

you dont need the blue wire its for a power antenna.

 

Alright Ive been looking at wire diagrams calling stereo shops...Someone told me you get better reception...that works for me. Thank you

 

nah de pin it or just dont even use it

 

Subbing for my 09

 

Is there a harness for the steering wheel controls on a 2009 Tacoma?

 

everything you need is on the first page…

 

@TRD2010SpeedwayBlue ok cool just making sure that harness handled the steering wheel controls too. Thanks

 

if i were you i would go aftermarket.
i did this swap and got rid of it after a few years.
Only reason i held onto it for so long was because i didn’t want to dish out $600 on a aftermarket wireless carplay unit
But when i did i had absolute 0 regrets doing it.

The factory units aren’t loud and they sound like complete shit

 

They’re for a buddy of mine and he doesn’t really care lol. I gave him my OEM radio after installing an aftermarket one

 

Do you need to buy the mic too? We’re planning on ordering these harnesses, but doesn’t want to spend the extra $50 since he already has an OEM mic
