The next part I wanted to get out of the way was tapping the factory reverse camera signal to use on my factory head unit. Like late model gen 2 Tacomas, Toyota opted for reverse camera view in the rear view mirror. I followed this shops instructions on tapping the signal.

Using stock backup camera w/ aftermarket Nav system

Ideally I would have spliced and soldered the connections but I went for the traditional wiretaps. I'm sure they will have to be redone but it was too hot to spend time in the car with a soldering iron / heat gun.




I was able to get both signals to work. Apparently it doesn't work for everyone. It is advisable though, to disconnect the battery so maybe the rear mirror got shorted for some folks. I might switch out the rear view mirror down the road anyway for a rimless one like my 4Runner had.




Also installed the "sport" pedal. It is just the stock pedal off of an IS300. Hard as heck to get on though.




I'll probably replace it with a newer pedal cover down the road. I also figured out a potential update for the gas pedal and dead pedal but I need to fact check a few things before I post anything on it.
