Thank you for being our customer. I reached out to my tech contact at Hopkins and the Hopkins Smart Hitch Backup Camera and Hitch Aligner System, # HM50002, absolutely can work for your vehicle. The reason why they may say incompatible is that the quick connects were put on the Tundra in 2014, so the older models don't use the quick connects. You can simply cut the two wires from the quick connect and one wire will go to a common ground and the other will splice into your reverse signal wire. White or black further up is ground, purple or red further up is reverse light. Use quick splice connectors like # SWC501925-1.

I've linked a video of this installation on a vehicle without this connection like yours for more clarity.
