    Hi guys,

    I'm about to buy a full-size '05 Tundra. Would love to install a backup camera in it with a new monitor/aftermarket audio system. Is this job doable for someone who doesn't know too much about cars? I have installed after-market lights on my Jeep before (I know, nothing impressive...) and completed other odd jobs on my car.
    Electrical work always seems like a tall order. Especially when trying to decipher a wiring harness diagram. What do you guys think?

    *also, any recommendations on aftermarket backup cameras and monitors/audio controls?

    Thank you!
    Scott

    Going full aftermarket it should be fairly straightforward except for figuring out how to run/secure the wires
