AutoHarnessHouse Shoutout

Hey y'all

Just want to take a moment to shoutout to Brian at AutoHarnessHouse for being super helpful in helping me solve a dilemma with a stereo deck replacement.
I bought an Atoto S8 on Black Friday off Amazon, along with a slew of their handy accessories, plus a camera multiplexer and 4 cameras to create my own 360 exterior view.
I did a few hours of research on what to expect with the wiring harness and got a few adapters as well.

However, once I got into it, I realized that the Atoto decks have their own unique plugin for the back of their decks, and the normal harnesses weren't going to work.
After contacting Atoto, they wrote back promptly, but were useless.
I got the iDataLink module next, which, I soon found out doesn't support Atoto. Returned that.

Many hours later, I found AutoHarnessHouse, which was the only site I found that had a harness specifically for the Tundra and Atoto.
However, I still wasn't in the clear, since I have the Tundra Platinum, with the JBL system, and I wanted to retain that JBL system.

Brian with AutoHarnessHouse worked with me over email, and told me he could build a custom harness for $65, and combine it with the AXTO-TY2 chip for $95.
I was now able to retain all of my OEM features except for the backup cam... Brian did offer the adapter for that as well, but it was an additional $50 or so, and I was doing the 360 cams anyway, so I skipped that part.

Installation was now a breeze, took less than an hour for everything, even with my rookie skills.

Highly recommend them for anyone else out there with a similar problem!!
I had a tough time finding this solution, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who has looked for an answer to this same situation. Hope this helps someone!

Thank you. I will inquire. I have a wire harness issue for audio upgrades on a 2006 GX470 I am working on. I’m adding the Joying tablet which is mostly simple, but converting the heat/air controls from Nav to non Nav on the GX is another story with the wires. Thank you for sharing

 

A sideways photo of your truck? Where is the photo showing your new 360 view?

 

You're welcome!! Glad I could help, and good luck with the project!

 

haha I just posted that pic for attention, I would have posted a pic relevant to the project ...but I don't have any currently.

The stuff I bought for the cams turned out to be a bust, the multiplexer had some sort of bizarre grounding/electrical issue where it was completing it's circuit through the vid-RCA cables, keeping the cams on and transmitting to the deck, even with ground wire removed.
The cams were the Pixelman cams from Amazon, and I was not impressed with their quality either, very poor dynamic range with washed out video image.

So I returned two of the cams and the multiplexer, and opted for a kit instead, a dedicated 10.3" touchscreen/receiver with (4) IR cams for 4 way coverage.
It's shifting goalposts from creating a true 360 cam patched into the deck,
but I think I'm going to appreciate the simplicity and having an extra screen for continuous video display, vs sharing the deck screen (which I have enjoyed having either Maps or Torque app running on).
And I'll keep the two Pixelman cams I already went through the trouble of wiring up as front and rear cams to pop up on the deck when shifting to reverse
... a bit redundant with the 4-way cams, but I'll leave them mounted down low, and mount the new cam up high on the cab (magnet mounted until I spend an extra $1000 for a roof rack). Should be useful in the sense of viewing the hitch when backing up to my trailer.

I'm hoping to get some progress done this weekend and I'll get some pics to share.

 

Here's a progress pic from last weekend, only managed to get the new front cam in, clarity and framerate are very impressive and look great with the new 10.3" screen.
Still have the front and rear cams linked to the deck.
ignore the wireless trailer cam screen on the right, it's charging in the center console. It'll be removed once new cams are completed.
