Well I had a bit of bad luck with mine 2013 SR5, my own fault I guess, from being too fussy.
The factory camera gave a shitty picture in daylight and even with the camera adjusted at night it was next to useless......so I bought a "plug and play" after market camera.
Went to local auto sparky, and there the problem started.
For some reason they didnt just splice the wiring on near the camera, but took out the head unit and cut off "these two factory looms you dont need", then they burnt out old reverse camera , the new reverse camera and part of the blue tooth function. There is probably a few other little gems I havent discovered yet!
I got a little alarm bell ringing when after 6 hours labour the bloke gives me the keys and says "no change mate have a good weekend, bye!"
Off to Toyota today and the auto sparky will be getting a visit from me and a bill from Toyota , I think.
In hindsight, I should have not tried to fix something that wasnt broken in the first place, but I am amazed a professional person takes no responsibility for a job taken on and then botched.
