    I need help please and asap!! I have a 2006 Toyota Tundra ext cab SR5. I’m trying to install a reverse camera (Kenwood CMOS-230) but don’t know how to run the wire from the receiver all the back to the camera on the tail gate. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

    Maybe follow some of the other wires under the truck like your tow or brake looms?

    I used the reverse trigger for the backup lights for the backup camera. There are several places at the back of the truck to tap into this. The video signal wire I ran through an existing wire loom (as PHM has suggested) under the bed all the way back to the cab. Then ran it up under the dash to the radio. Best of luck. If you have a handy friend, bribe them with beers for help.

    If its a keenwood like mine where you can press a button to see it whole driving as well. Then hook the wire up to you running light wire at the back tail light.
