About the Crux CTY-02T
For your Tacoma pickup
For your Tacoma pickup
Crux hides a powerful backup camera in a replacement tailgate handle, so that you can access rear view video without compromising the rugged appeal of your Toyota truck. An included 26-foot cable connects to the back of an aftermarket radio with a composite video input. Once installed, you'll see a generous, well-lit picture of what's behind you on your radio's display, with a 170-degree wide view and excellent visibility for night driving.
Installing this camera yourself? Here's what you should know.
What does it do? Unless otherwise noted, a backup camera is only intended for use backing up your vehicle. (If you require a front-view or constant rear-view camera, check for that capability.)
What tools and supplies will I need? A panel tool, a wire cutter/stripper, a soldering iron, and a rosin-core solder with heat shrink tubing are recommended, along with whatever tools are needed to remove the radio from the dash.
How much wiring is required? Wiring instructions vary from camera to camera. Some cameras have power wiring that can only be connected near the radio. Others let you power the camera at compatible reverse lights. In all cases, the camera must be wired for power and ground, the camera's video output must be connected to the radio/monitor, and the radio/monitor must be connected to a reverse trigger in your vehicle. Some radio replacement interfaces supply a reverse trigger wire for the radio -- using that wire to power your camera will damage the interface.
Will the included video cable be long enough? You'll need to route the camera's video cable from its mounting location outside your vehicle into your vehicle's cabin and all the way to the screen in the dash. This often requires drilling a small hole in your vehicle or filing some metal and or plastic. You'll also need to estimate the length of cable needed to run from the camera to the dash, which will not be a straight shot. Each camera's cable length is listed.

Features
Toyota Tacoma Tailgate Handle Replacement Camera: The Crux CTY-02T Toyota Tacoma rear-view camera is specifically designed for select 2006-2015 Toyota Tacoma trucks with an aftermarket in-dash multimedia or navigation receiver installed. Your aftermarket receiver must feature an integrated video monitor and a composite video camera input. The CTY-02T rear-view camera replaces your truck's tailgate handle assembly. With the Crux CTY-02T Toyota Tacoma rear-view camera installed, you'll be able to view what's behind you on your in-dash aftermarket receiver's video monitor when you put your truck in reverse.
Note: This rear-view camera is meant as a back-up aid only; never solely rely on the rear-view camera when backing-up. In addition to using the rear-view camera, always look behind you to make sure everything is clear when backing up your vehicle.
Image Sensor & Lens: The Crux CTY-02T Toyota Tacoma rear-view camera features a CMOS image sensor that offers 480 lines of resolution. The bright f/1.8 lens has 170° (horizontal) x 90° (vertical) viewing angle. The minimum illumination is 0.2 Lux.
Connections: The rear-view camera features an attached 6.5' power/video harness which plugs into the included extension harness. The extension harness is comprised of a 27' video cable and 3.5' power/ground wires, for attaching at the rear of the vehicle. One end of the video cable is terminated with a male RCA composite video plug, which connects to the composite, rear-view camera input of your aftermarket head unit. The other end of the 27' extension harness is terminated in a proprietary 4-pin plug for connecting to the camera harness. The power (red) & ground (black) wires will need to be hardwired at the rear of the vehicle. 12V power can be obtained from your vehicle's reverse light circuit, while the ground will need to be connected to your vehicle's metal chassis.
Waterproof Housing: The Crux CTY-02T Toyota Tacoma tailgate handle replacement camera features an IP67-IP68 waterproof housing.
