Upgrading from a TGN16R, always used the carbon car systems reverse cam and installed the genuine reverse buzzer myself.

Getting the new 2021 Workmate with an alloy tray. My questions are:

Is the genuine toyota rear view camera lower resolution than the carbon car systems one? (all answers point to yes, but no info on the 2021 version).

Previously, the reverse buzzer just plug and play via an existing harness underneath the tray that was connected to the reverse light - is this still the case?

What does the rear park assist on an allow tray actually look like - is it something on the screen or an audible beep? Wouldn't that be confused with the reverse buzzer?

How does the rear park assist actually plug into the head unit? Or is it via the passenger side dongle like the camera? Any recommended alternative rear park assists?

Learn to reverse with your mirrors rather than all the fancy gadgets :roll:

It's a legal requirement of the fleet. Prevents running over people when reversing with a high load.

It would have been more sense to buy it with the stuff fitted.
