    Has anyone bought and installed the Blackvue dash cams? What I am looking to find out is their 2 channel system has a front and a rear camera. Did you have a problem installing the rear camera due to the power rear window, if so where did you mount it and if you did install it, did you have any issue if your rear window was tinted aftermarket?

    I have the Blackvue installed in my FJ Cruiser, but not the Tundra. There is a prototype mount for setting up the rear camera so that it will not attached to the window. These are not for sale as far as I know, but apparently the only way to do the install. You might be able to fab something up with a piece of sheetmetal.

    Had a backvue but the sun killed it after one summer. Now I run a mobius since it's much cheaper so I don't care if it breaks. 3m automotive taped to the rear view mirror.

    Still need one for the rear so I haven't looked into a mounting solution. The 2 camera blackvue system is pretty nice though.

    This was something that they fabricated in-house. I'm told that they are going to produce an actual mount and will hopefully have one available in the near future.
