    I’ve installed a pioneer head unit (DMH-WT8600NEX) as well as a backup camera some time back. However, I was a bit lazy and didn’t figure out how to get it to kick on automatically whenever I switch to reverse.
    I understand from previous installations I’ve done on other cars/trucks, I would tap into the reverse wire.
    Is that the case with these 2nd gen tundras? If so, anyone have the wiring diagram for the cab so I know which wire to tap into?

    My unit taps into the OBD2 port for that reverse information.

    I'm wondering if there is a way to tap in to the factory camera to put it on the head unit instead of the tiny screen on the rear view mirror?
