Blue screen. I couldn't connect it to Tacoma 2013 ProRunner Mirrored Display

Hello! I couldn't connect it to an existing mirror and cable in my Tacoma 2013 ProRunner 4-dr pickup. The truck has existing wiring (3rd photo) and I can't get the system to work. I've read some comments on the web and it seems that the problem is that the mirror only sends 6V to the rear camera and the camera needs 12V to work. To solve this I tried turning the camera connect directly to the rear camera. a light that is 12V and connects the VCR signal directly to the sockets/pins on the back of the mirror, but the mirror still doesn't register a signal. The mirror only shows the blue screen for about 3 seconds, when I put the truck in reverse, the blue screen disappears. Can you help me with that? Do you have a video tutorial I can follow? Also, I want to make sure I have the correct connection to the existing cables in Tacoma. 4 colors in the existing cables in the Tacoma tailgate (blue-white-red-black) do not match the colors in the camera connector (1st photo, namely yellow-grey-red-black). Can you please confirm which color is suitable for each connector? Many Thanks,

Pros
  • Constant test results
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
