I just purchased 4 wireless waterproof night vision color cameras. They are fairly small and come with a wireless receiver that has a remote control as well as hard-wired video inputs and switching capability. All units operate on 12V DC so I plan to mount the receiver inside the center console and the cameras on the outside of the Tundra. Two cameras on the front corners of the bed rails angled towards the blind spots, one camera in the front angled down toward the bumper, and one camera in the rear angled straight back.
This will allow me to switch camera views at any time from inside the cab. I can also set the receiver to auto-rotate the views. This should be helpful when parking in tight spots, changing lanes in traffic, or backing up with a big trailer or camper in tow. I have already figured out how to enable the video display on the NAV unit with an override switch. The only thing I still need to know is whether the backup camera feeds the video signal into the NAV unit via standard RCA connectors or as part of the factory molex connectors?
The equipment should arrive in a few days so I was hoping to find out from someone that has already taken their dash apart and looked at the NAV unit connectors. Also, I plan to disable the motion signal into the NAV so all the functions will be available even while the truck is in flight. Too bad they didn't just ship it that way to begin with... would have saved me a lot of aggravation...
