    I will be installing the ICS-Fab dash mount in my 2019 Tundra. I intend to use it for mounting a dash cam and rear cam trailer monitor. Will there be 5V or 12V supply available to bring up to a USB or other power connector for whatever I want to power on the dash mount?
    Thanks

    I have an aftermarket head unit installed on my truck, which had two usb ports available. I ran one up and installed it in the middle underneath my ICS mount and it works perfect for me. You can see it in this pic.

    Thanks for your reply and the photo. Looks really good!
    By head unit do you mean the radio/gps infotainment center? I am anticipating having to splice into the cigarette lighter and USB charging port wiring. Would like to have 5V available when engine is off for motion activated dash cam operation.

    Yes, I hated the infotainment center. 2018 did not have Android auto and really lacked any balls for volume especially when riding down the road with windows down. Installed new Kenwood head unit, JL Audio Amp and Memphis speakers. You can get a good flush mount USB port from Allied Electronics for about $16.00

    You can check, but I don't think either of those supply power with the ignition off.

    In the photo it looks like you put the USB receptacle directly below the dash mount. how much room is there between the underside of the dash and the head unit for it?
    Would I have enough room with the stock infotainment center?
    Also, my dash cameras are top-mounted for sticking on the windshield or under rear view mirror. Is there a goosneck AMPS pattern mount that you know of that would allow me to attach to the ICS platform?
    Thanks.

    I installed a Toyota OEM duel USB outlet to the right of my ICS as seen in pic above. If you need other suggestions call black box my car and they can assist you with other options on a clean wiring instal for cameras.

    Mr. Moto I used this P/N from Harting 09 45 452 1923. They are a little pricey but well worth it. They also make ones that have dual USB Ports. Yes there is sufficient room underneath to mount one of these with the stock infotainment center. Gamber Johnson's Zirkona has all sorts of Goose necks. Can you send me a pic the mount your trying to use?

    Here are photos of my 2 dash cams. I need to suspend them from the top side and not using suction cup on window. I looked at the Zirkona website and saw the medium joiner #7110-1235 as a possibility but still need some kind of slide-mount adapter.

    I decided to mount my dash cam the traditional way using the window suction cup mount and threading the power cable jammed in between the top of the window and ceiling fabric, around and underneath the dash and to the 12V power port below the AC controls. This is the cleanest install. However, I found out later that I could have mounted the camera upside down because it allowed image rotate in the settings.

    I will still be adding in a RAM Mount for rear camera monitor for towing a camper. I am going to change the ICS dash mount install to permit removing the dash mount without having to take the dash apart. This requires a change in hardware - 1/4-28 studs fastened in place and projecting up for the ICS dash mount to install over them and then fastened with nuts on top instead of screws.
