back up camera question

[lamia2super]

can i buy a used OEM backup camera with the tailgate handle and hook it up to my pioneer head unit? is their a special harness or something i need ? or is their a better way to install a backup camera ?

Which pioneer head unit do you have? If it has reverse camera capabilities, there should be a backup camera video input and voltage sensor that you connect to the power for the reverse light, on the back of the unit. That's how m pioneer head unit worked anyways...

I highly doubt that a factory camera will have the correct connections for an aftermarket radio, look at the video connection on it first.

I have an oem camera and YES you can hook it up to your pioneer headunit, if you get the tailgate harness it makes it 10x easier.... Ill find the write up on Tacoma world...

I had a boyo back up camera vtl300. It's a license plate frame camera I got on amazon for 100 bucks. I looked at the back of your unit, and it looks like the violet/white wire is the one that senses voltage changes when the gear is in reverse. You'd need connect the hot wire from the backup camera to the reverse light hot wire in your rear lights (the one that changes voltage when you put it in reverse) then connect to the violet/white wire on the back of your unit....Then connect the ground (black) wire to ground and the video wire to the reverse camera input on the back of your unit (labelled R.C IN)
