I have a 2018 Titan XD SV that I replaced the stereo with a Pioneer with 7" screen. The factory tailgate camera is pretty low spec. compared to what is available aftermarket now and what my new unit can display. I would like to replace it with aftermarket one that will mount in the existing oem position. The only problem is using the existing wiring with new camera. Has anyone hardwired a camera into that or found a aftermarket adapter connector that will work. The cameras being offered to plug and play for replacement have very low specs compared to the universal ones out there.

I made my own by using the factory bracket that the factory rear camera is attached to. I've had it for years with no issue when I installed pioneer 8600nex and the quality is night and day difference. It fits through the factory spot perfectly too. Here is the link to the one I used, shows unavailable but I'm sure you can find a similar one to it.

There is a write up somewhere on this forum that I followed of someone else doing it that showed what wires did what. I clipped the factory connector on the factory camera side and spliced it into the new camera, then it plugged into the same spot as before.
