Trying to add a video monitor using mirror wires to a 2009 Tacoma

Trying to add a video monitor using mirror wires to a 2009 Tacoma That already has a factory camera. I have a white video cable and red cable coming from monitor. The red cable has a black and red wire I assume is power wire. I can’t get the monitor to work. Any solutions?

 

Do you mean you are trying to power it by tapping into the 12v for the power mirror?

 

If i remember correct the factory camera uses 6vs that may have something to do with it

 

So..even the 2009 has a six volt camera. I didn’t know That

 

How is that possible when the truck uses a 12v system

 

I did some searching the 6v is only at the mirror location

 

The mirror must have a converter in it that switches it from 12 to 6v. I may need a 12 to 6v transducer to wire up my monitor.
