    Hi there! This is my first post as a new member. I just bought a 2014 Double cab SR5 Tundra and love everything about it. I just wish the factory radio had Android Auto integration, but I understand that's only coming stock with the 2020 Tundras. So I have a Pioneer AVH-2550 aftermarket radio that I was able to install myself, but the problem is there's no way to plug in the stock backup camera wire into the new head unit. I'm looking for a wire or adapter that will allow this to happen. I looked online and came up short. I'm hoping I don't need to replace the existing camera altogether. So I'm wondering what anyone else that's put in aftermarket head units did for their backup cameras?

    Ah, I just found out about the Maestro. I assume this harness contains the backup camera plug?

    Easiest and most expensive would be to buy a new harness completely, either the Crux SWRTY-61N (around $60 on Amazon), or a Maestro RR and TO/TO2 wiring harness (around $150-200 total). Either of those will let you integrate the factory steering wheel controls and the Crux will include an adapter to keep the factory USB and stereo input if you have them.

    The other option would be to buy just the Maestro TO/TO2 wiring harness ($40) and use just the backup camera adapter included and none of the other harnesses or the Maestro RR unit itself. Going that route would require you to grab a reverse trigger signal from a reverse light or maybe the shifter to trigger the Pioneer, and would also require you to provide power out to the factory camera which likely means a convertor to drop the voltage from the 12v the car supplies to the 5v or 6v the camera wants for power.

    Given the Crux is only $60 and available next day from Amazon (at least for me), I would recommend that route. I used the same harness for a while and had zero complaints. I did change to a Maestro, but honestly only because I got a stupid good deal on it and wanted to be able to remap the factory steering wheel controls.

    Edit: I can't vouch for it, but also found this option: https://www.newegg.com/axxess-axbuc...ronics+accessories-_-9SIA34ABY30666&gclsrc=ds
