2007-2013 Toyota Tundra Backup Camera Install

I figured I'd help some other people out. If you're trying to do this in your tundra remember to test your wires with a volt meter before splicing and double check the locations I have used will work with your tundra.

Camera view looked pretty good to me.

Why didnt you use hook up using the dome light, there is a factory hook up already , just like under the truck bed camra hook up ? Much easier to run line from inside cab hook up

Late to the party haha, but quick question where do I connect the Positive and negative to? I just recently got this and installing tomorrow. Thanks

Great video! Can you share the camera link from Amazon?

[@cmcowan13]

Great Video!! It was extremely helpful in installing a backup camera on my 2011 Toyota Tundra. The only part I am stuck on and have been for the past month is connecting the backup camera wire to the trigger wire to enable the camera to turn on (3:50 in the video). Do you have any tips or any videos you would recommend to help with that?

[@carterthorlakson4155]

cmcowan13 i just used a t tap connector going to the reverse light

[@andrewcruz7558]

I just installed a backup camera on my 2011 also and my head unit won’t show the feed when in reverse. My camera has the black (calls for ground), red (wired into positive of reverse light), and purple (labeled as a trigger wire). I don’t currently have the purple connected to anything, do you think this is my issue?

[@earth2tothemoon201]

Hey Carter, did you have to wire the signal wire on both ends of the camera for the unit to switch to camera signal when you go in reverse? My rear signal wire is under the frame (wouldn't reach to tail light) so did you wire that up or just at the front in the head unit? And I see you mentioned a harness and a 3v signal it hooks up with, do you recall exactly what wire it was, thanks!

[@carterthorlakson4155]

Cycl yes you’ll have to wire it on both ends and i don’t recall which one it was exactly, i just tested all of them with a volt meter until i found one that put out a signal in reverse

[@eiii5843]

Should drill hole in that cab gasket and feed wire threw and silicone. So you don’t get water in your cab. Rust it out from inside you won’t notice till it’s to late

[@carterthorlakson4155]

did that about a month ago because i moved to a more rainy area

[@b4realjenkins625]

where did you get the unit from

[@brianshumaker7936]

Late to the party but can you link what harness you used at the head for install? I bought the same head and a similar if not the same latch camera, would appreciate it, thanks!

Brian Shumaker www.ebay.com/itm/263966973526 this works only if your truck has the jbl amplifier

[@joshuascelsi2200]

How much did the whole thing cost you to do? Also where did you get your parts from?

[@carterthorlakson4155]

got the camera from amazon and all the wiring accessories from wallmart

[@MAMmm-sv7vd]

A question where I have to connect the red and black cables

[@carterthorlakson4155]

red goes to backup light positive and black goes to any ground

Carter, What's the model information on your new head unit? Good info. Tks!

[@carterthorlakson4155]

the brand of the head unit is dasaita here’s the link -> www.amazon.com/dp/B07P8PBM5Z/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_QHTHDbB1AXHCX i had to not screw in one of the screws on the side of the screen because it sits back a bit too far

[@michaelturner1761]

Guess you didn't know that the truck is prewired for a backup camera.

[@carterthorlakson4155]

Michael Turner it’s pre wired yes, but the output goes to the spot in the headliner where the factory receiver would be

[@pedroortega3147]

Where ?

[@carterthorlakson4155]

Pedro Ortega if you don’t have the backup option from the factory it’s the first sunglasses slot that flips down to show a display, it’s behind the plastic frame there. the original harness is attached behind the spare tire

[@pedroortega3147]

@@carterthorlakson4155 do you know if i can locate the wire in the dash where there radio goes?

[@carterthorlakson4155]

Pedro Ortega from everything i’ve seen there’s no factory wire in the radio area because there wasn’t a factory upgraded radio version that had a display connected to the backup camera
