    I to am interested in doing this.
    I don't think you could use the factory backup cam though as the video is reversed.
    If the video is reversed in the camera you'd need a different camera. If the video is reversed in the display, you'd need a camera with reversed video so it would get corrected in the display.

    I have no verification of any of this (other than the video being reversed) but it's just what I was thinking about.

    Im looking in to trying to find how to do this, but I saw someone that installed an aftermarket dual rearview mirror with one side reverse and the other side front. I was hoping if any of you found anything?

    I've been thinking about this also, for those tight parking spots.
    I bought on Ebay over the last year or so, 2 little tiny cameras and a 5" LCD screen with 2 video inputs. I don't remember now if the screen splits or if I have to switch back and forth. I was thinking about mounting each camera in the front right and left corners of the truck kind of looking out at a 45 degree angle. Probably under the bumper or somewhere not very noticeable. My overhead console has 2 swing down pocket doors. I want to mount the screen in the pocket door closest to the mirror with a switch so when I open the door the screen turns on. That's my plan anyway. We'll see how much time I get off for the holidays, and from the honeydews.
    I'll post some pics if I giterdone.

    Looks like good and easy way to solve the problem there, would love to see how well it works.

    Sub'd. I've thought about doing this on a daily basis, but not my area of expertise.

    Can't wait to see some results.

    Dear Pat,

    Thank you for proving the vehicle information.

    Unfortunately, CS2A won't work on your vehicle, and we do not have the front & backup camera integration solution for the 2015 Tacoma.

    CS2A integrates the 4-pin oem backup camera, but the 2015 Tacoma is equipped with the 14-pin backup camera.

    Thank you.

    Damn. I just talked to tech support and the guy recommended this one.

    http://www.beatsonicusa.com/beat-sonic-cs3ep-front-camera-inteface.html

    And I didn't get too far into reading but seems like this guy is using it on a similar connector.

    @patbegley will the CS2A work on an '09 or can I use the CS3EP?

    Sorry Iggy, that's just a reply from them.

    I couldn't tell you any more.

    There is enough heads in the room that we'll for sure get to the bottom of this.

    Already know where I'm gonna mount it;)

    Did camera source ever come up with a harness? Didn't see you mention it again @Tippman7641 did you ever complete the mod?

    There's a phone number on there and a person to call. I'll call tomorrow morning and see what I can come up with. I hope you don't mind.
