Fitcamx to plug in oem dashcam plug

I’m not sure how much it will drain the battery, I don’t use parking mode.

 

Thank you.

 

Is there a good 3rd gen install video.. ie taking down upper console to plug Sienna wire? I heard you can break the red clips and to have backups.

 

You should search YouTube for OEM Toyota dash cam install videos. Here is one:

 

Yes, great advice... I've watched three before the one you posted. Saw the one for Fitcam with a new Sequoia too.

 

I have removed the upper console several times and the clips still hold.
Here is a link for the red clips in case you want to order some extra. Someone else recommended them.

I use a Garmin Mini2 which I transferred from my '23 Pathfinder with the aid of this dongle:

its the battery, HAHA

 

Always one in the crowd.

 

I just installed my fitcam with my sienna plug...2 issues when my truck turns on it knocks my connection off with the camera when my android auto kicks on and the camera loses power when I turn off the truck . So no parking mode . I didn't connect the y connector . What am I doing wrong? So I had to turn off bluetooth so it would connect while truck is on. OK damn thing made a liar out of me. I tapped the camera and the lights turned on. All good.

 

Thanks for the tip! I just installed my FITCAMX, with the 2” bracket. It’s a solid setup to not have the defroster line in video.

 

I placed my rear camera by the license plate. You can run the wire up the frame rail and then go into the cab in a small grommet under the front passenger seat.

 

FitcamX > Toyota OEM camera by far
