I guess it will be the only way to find for sure when I get back and pull the door panel off. I have done it once when I was trying to do the mirror fold with hard wire option. So, do it again will not be as hard as in first time.
The connector on this backup camera did snap right up to the front camera but no picture.
It sounds like from RU forum you need to have two cameras hooked up for detection. Also need to locate the wire that is used for the trigger switch on steering wheel. This may be needed as well for activation much like crawl switch did. This could be a separate switch.
I ran through a different translation site to try to get a it clearer.
"If we were talking about the Touareg, I would have agreed with this statement, there really are all through Vasya diagnostician handles.
In Toyota a little differently it is organized, approximately as plug-and-play in Windows, roughly: stuck a USB stick, the system picked up it. Or under the registration means the connection of sensors from the menu buttons on the steering wheel? The nuances there, but not global, for example when hooked up only the front camera on it even though the power didn't want to go, stuck right and head she found both cameras. Dealer scanner is not needed.
If anyone is very interested in what's "inside" enough Chinese lace, such as MINI-VCI, the price of floor mats.
Along the way, you can learn about all the sores, so that the station is not loaded in full, turn off the buzzer belts, etc."
If anyone has their door panel off for any upgrades over the weekend please take a bunch of pictures. Still trying to confirm whether camera harness is actually in the door in this area.
Based on tecmans's picture and it may be there but can't make it out.... it would be in this area where there is a red wire in upper left area. That may actually be it.
Maybe following switch can be used to substitute the GX steering wheel camera switch if we can locate the wires for the steering wheel switch and/or triggering relay for the cameras.
I wonder though if this may be problematic as switch is ON/OFF and stock steering wheel switch needs momentary action?
I thought about that too...... usually the push button switch could be easily to be modified became a trigger switch as most push type on and off switch has a locking tab like ball pen, either by removing the attached spring or tab will make it became the triggering switch. maybe an alternative option instead of steering wheel switch panel replacement (assume the wire for the switch is easy to be locate and tap into).

Good point and switch looks to have a near perfect fit and is pretty inexpensive too.
As far as I can tell if you do buy the OEM steering part you do get the left trigger switch but you would also have the right hand LDA and Cruise distance switch regardless if you converted to it or not. I guess the right side wouldn't be that big of a deal since its the same thing as adding an 070 to a vehicle without AVS or RHC.
EDIT: That might a hidden use for those with unused 070 suspension related switches
"Is there an easy way to convert a switch or are there any momentary toyota switches out there?
Yes, all you have to do is use a small jewelers screw driver and pop the switch open on the sides(4 tabs) .. Then remove the metal S piece at the front of the switch. This metal piece acts similar like a pen clicker. Remove it and the thin metal bar it lays across...poof instant momentary switch. "

There are several version and configuration of the steering wheel switch panel. One of them is 84250-60220, which only has camera and radar cruise distance switch, without LDA switch, which is a more common configuration for other markets. I did ordered one in China as part of experimental to see if we can get the cameras option working as OEM spec.
I started add front and sideview cameras project as I had planned. But to my biggest surprise, the front camera connector was not there for my 2014 GX without Driver Support Package. All along, from members posts here regardless the trim level, the front camera and radar connector harness are presence regardless where you have the option installed or not. I was out of country and didn't really thought about to check 2014 specifically. Apparently, starting from 2014, this is no longer the case. I still see there is the harness for radar, but no front camera harness anywhere.
Can anyone who has the 2014+ without Driver Support Package to verify if you have the only pre-wired harness for radar, no harness for front camera any more.
If that turned out to be true, my project will be quickly ended here. I really hate to see that.
Trying to remember if I have seen any pictures on this site of someone who had removed the front bumper for whatever reason. I'm trying to look at some wrecked '14+ GXs but usually too much carnage to make out the wiring harnesses on the front.
If plugs aren't there I wonder if is an accessory wire harness off of something like this near the battery area?
