    Hi,

    I am wondering if anyone has any insight on how to by pass my mirror camera in my 2011 Tacoma and connect it to the Toguard CE35-1 Camera.

    Looks like they intend it to be used with the included rear camera. That cam is probably much better picture than the factory camera that looks like it’s being filmed on the original blackberry.

    if you wanted to cut and splice, it’s possible.
    the problem is, the factory camera doesn’t actually have power unless the truck is in reverse, so you wouldn’t be able to utilize the recording/dash cam function for the rear camera

    yah, the wires are super skinny. Theres a red, green white and ground. Ive been looking to see if there was a different harness but all i can find is a Micro usb end and the one that this one has is the 2.5mm
