Helpful Expert Reply:
We actually have a backup camera that you can plug in line with the 7-Way trailer connector. Take a look at # HM50002. I have linked a video showing an installation for you. As you can see, it will just plug in line with the 7-Way and retain all the trailer connector functions. If your 7-Way on your 2005 Toyota Tundra is not a US car connector type that accepts the plugs then the wiring does have provisions for being hardwired in.

I purchased the Hopkins backup camera HM50002 from Etrailer apx 18 months ago for my 2017 Ram 1500. It has been working flawlessly until about 2 weeks ago when I started getting a blue screen on my monitor. at first it was intermittent however now it stays blue most of the time and only works occasionally. I have checked all connections and they seem ok. Help !
