    I am looking to add a back up camera to my 04 sr5 double cab. I want a nice setup and would love feedback or opinions on what you all have done.

    Wireless and easy install. I like it. I always read reviews carefully to make the decision on stuff like this.

    Do you have an aftermarket head unit or anything? Something you could wire the camera into?

    Where did you attach the reverse wire from the unit to the truck?

    Do not buy Peak wireless camera. I bought one some years ago. It worked only for a few seconds then the picture would simply freeze. I tried so many different ways to tweak it, but to no avail. I got Pioneer HU and Pioneer camera and it's been flawless so far for the last 4+ years (except when it's drops below -20F).

    It's a solar powered back up camera license plate frame and uses any smart phone as the display. It turns any dumb car into a smart car.

    Does anyone have any info on which wire is the "reverse signal" one in the vehicle wiring harness? I installed an aftermarket Pioneer head unit and in order for the Camera screen to come on automatically, the (in this case, purple) wire on the head unit has to be connected to some kind of wire that senses when the reverse gear is engaged.

    (Edit: question is for a 1 gen tundra)

    I ran my reverse trigger wire from the head unit back with the camera cable and connected it to the reverse light wire in my tail light and it worked fine. I never did find the wire up in the cab area which did this.
