Hey all, I have a 2014 IS250 that did not come with the backup camera from factory. I saw a post that said there are wires in certain IS, so I took apart my trunk and found a wire. While researching OEM cameras, I found the one with the part number 867b0-53030 to be the one with 5 prongs, but there are 2 rows of them. The wire I found only has 1 row of 5 female plugs. Anyone know if this is the right plug?

 

No, that's not the one, on my 2015 back in the day, the connector in fact had 2 rows of pins.

 

so I did some research and I guess the correct part number for my female plug would be 82181-53050, although I have heard that 82181-53070, the male plug pictured, is compatible with mine. Do you think I could get away with using that wire?

 

No idea honestly!

 

I would search the part number for the camera.
Take that part number and put it in eBay and see what the connection looks like for the 2014.

I did this add-on on my 2017, this is what the harness looks like:

 

I did some more research and realized that only 4/6 prongs are required for the reverse camera. I don’t know what the 2 on the bottom would be. I’m thinking it would fit like this because of how the clips are set up

my only concern now is if the camera would function without those other 2 prongs being connected to anything. Otherwise I would have to order the 53050 part to a dealer because there’s none for sale on eBay.

 

Next best bet is to have someone local or even on this forum, with your year, to take a photo of what the camera connection looks like along with the part number.
It would take a few minutes to resolve.
