    One question I have for the FRAC V3. Can an interface be added to allow operation of the front and rear camera using the steering wheel buttons? I saw there was a similar FRAC system for the Tacomas that used the steering wheel buttons to switch the front and rear cameras. I thought it looked cleaner and easier to control the cameras. It would also help higher trim Tundra without an open spot to install buttons.

    I hesitated to post this since there seems to be a lack of love for chrome on this forum (jk) but there is surely someone who can benefit from a picture of my choice of camera placement.
    This camera (chrome NATIKA) is mounted quite a bit lower than most it seems at 24” above the ground on a stock suspension. It works really well for parking but is too low and the focus too short to double as a “dash” cam. The camera doesn’t stick out past the bumper at all.
    I wanted maximum viewing of the ground close to me.

    I need to retake them because they didn’t turn out as good as they looked on the screen but here is what I have for now.
    View at night from outside the truck. 4’ from garage door.

    Same view from screen showing night vision capability. Pretty grainy but usable.

    I think it is a combination of the cheap fixed focus NATIKA camera lens, the darkness, and the refresh rate of the screen. Could be that the Google Pixel 4 XL’s camera isn’t as good as I think.

    I’ll try to remember to get some pictures during the day if you want them.

    Those were good enough. I just wanted to see the angle from that height. I was thinking about putting mine down there.
    Thanks.

    Apparently I don’t know how to hold the phone at the correct angle to capture a good still shot of a video screen. I swapped out the last picture above. (Post#1269)

    Here is a 12”x18” flag, camera facing down at about 40 degree angle 30” away.

    I had to remove the metal brace directly above the bumper cover and then take all of the top bolts out of the cover so I could pry it away from the truck enough to reach in and screw the nut on the camera. I drilled the hole from underneath but then had to get a razor and remove a little material from the top side of the hole to allow for a flat place for the nut to seat. It's a tight fit but I don't have large forearms.

    I believe it is for 2020's because of the different radio, same functions.

    I actually have a quick question..

    Has anyone come across the issue that I have today ?

    I had to disconnect the main battery to reset ECU so i left it off overnight and reconnected this morning.

    Everything worked fine prior to disconnecting, but after re-powered up the FRAC unit isnt working. Im sure Ive seen this mentioned before.. Is it just a case of powering off and on again a few times to get it to start?

    I’m doing my setup now but my camera came with 4 wires, not 3. I remember reading about it but can’t find instructions right now.

    What do I do with the 2 reds? Wire them together and connect to red connector on the frac?

    Will this mod still work if I replace the factory HU with an aftermarket one? Like a kenwood or jvc?
