None of those look like a match, as the Forward Camera connector is 16-pin. If you really don't want to cut into your factory wiring at all (it's nbd...), I suggest buying or making a pair of taps like these:


The pins just shove into the backside of the connector where the wires enter the connector (friction fit). The kit comes with 3 different size of pins to fit different connectors, use the largest one that is a snug fit.

I just wanted the option for quick interchangeable items and/or removing it to leave it completely stock.

I did however find this? This is a 16 pin however have contacted them with OP’s -6 pin diagram to verify which adaptor is theirs is a fit if anybody should be interested I’ll follow-up.

@MRT2 @RedBeard Just to be clear in case this is your first time messing around with wiring in your car: not every 16 pin connector is going to have the same pinout. In most situations, there isn't a "standard" wiring diagram for a particular type of automotive body plug. Don't assume that just because two connectors are physically compatible, that you can safely plug them in together. That would be incredibly naive.

So, yeah...it's no surprise that some random "Dongar Tech" 16-pin adapter you found is not suited for this purpose at all.

If anyone wants to do this mod but doesn't want to mess with their stock wiring, you can buy this connector on Aliexpress. I just tested it and it's a perfect fit with the 16-port front camera plug. I bought the male & female with crimp pins and will be making a custom y-adapter so that I can remove it (or make mistakes) without touching the original connectors or wiring.

When you do, can you make a step by step tutorial, like OP did? Thanks.

Awesome, thanks for doing the recon work.
Just picked up a set, going to redo my mirror and make it plug-and-play ;).

Well shit. The mirror just got here and I’m waiting on the other bits. May hold off to see how this route works. Thanks for posting!

I'll do my best to track my work with pictures. Should be easy enough.
I'll post here once the parts come in and the wife gives me an evening away from the kids to tinker with the car ;)

Hi!

Am trying this install with a new Toyota mirror (Part #: pk64342he0).

This is a great thread to follow for that install, except this Toyota mirror does come with three wires: (i) separate black ground wire; (ii) red wire; and blue wire. Any thoughts on what to do with the third wire and its' purpose?

Thanks!

Thinking now that blue is probably switched power, and red is constant power?

Few days ago I installed a Frameless Auto Dim Rear View Mirror w/Homelink in my son's GR4.

Install is fairly straight forward. I used Posi-Tap Taps 22ga to tap into wires of forward collision/sign reading camera (16 pin connection pictured below). I used pin 2 and 9 (red and black wires) to power the mirror and V1 radar detector. Added a dash cam as well (needs a power adapter). Taking cover off is not that difficult, followed instructions in this video.

So, looking at your 16 PIN plug (in photo) and mine (same), and the PIN explanation provided, it would appear as though the ACC wire is black, the Power Supply (+) wire is red, and the GND wire is beige ...sound right? Just triple-checking before I start tapping. ;)
