No not really, That looks like the same Item i bought off Amazon. What I did was use that item to make connecting to he head unit easier...

Because I was having a hard time sourcing the exact pins that Toyotarubu uses, so just pinning into the existing HU harness was a no go, And I couldn't find a 2017+ OEM harness, therefore my only option was to splice into existing. And If I am going to solder and splice at the head unit end, I'd rather take the chance of messing up the $20 aftermarket harness (then I could try again on a new one) rather than trash my OEM harness (which it seems they only like to sell as a complete wiring kit, triple digit price)


So kinda what I did was take that aftermarket harness, and hardwire it directly into an OEM backup cam, as opposed to the aftermarket cams it may be more designed for.

I know that is not really worded the clearest, but I hope it makes sense.
