Front facing cameras

It looks like it does not come on the 2020 Tundra. It is super cool for offroad.

 

I bought a $10 camera from eBay and so far so good. Night quality is a bit too noisy but still gets the job done.

Has anyone tried this one?

 

Looks like a clone of @TundraTex's harness

 

Could you tell me where you got your bracket from and what you had to trim to make it work?

 

What kinda stereo is that?

I just used a slotted corner bracket that I had laying around from another project. I had to widen the slotted part slightly to fit the camera shaft, then cut the side attaching to the back of the grille down to about 3/4 of an inch. I'm not entirely sure what the dimensions were. I basically just eyeballed it to fit.

 

put a beat sonic on my 2019 works great!! someone on here sells one that gets rave reviews

 

The Beat-Sonic kit looks great! Does anyone know if it works for the 2020?

 

give them a call! or email they are easy to work with

 

Any chance parts could be bought from Toyota and used in the tundra for the same type of set up?

 

I used an ikea bracket that I had left over and just had to make one small drill hole and it worked out great.

 

Has anyone wired up using the OEM switch? Im not sure what wire goes to what?

 

This should help. Or might help.

 

I bought mine from:

Bought it
Last fall, still haven’t installed it as I have to find a way to install it on my Limited grill… I don’t want to butcher it. The TundrasTex kit is probably a nicer camera install, but I do like the single OEM switch in the one I bought.

the other thing I had to solve was that I didn’t have a place to put the switch… there were no blanks left in the dash. I had to buy a 3 blank panel from another member that 3D prints them that fits in the credit card sized depression in the console.

it’s been a journey… need to finish this though… soonish. The camera my kit supplied doesn’t fit in the logo, any least without me fabricating something.

 

Thanks for me being novice installer it was not that easy of an install as anticipated with the OEM switch. I thought everything was going to be plug and play, I wasn’t expecting to solder wires. All the videos I find only show with the aftermarket switches, now I could have done better research on my part and if I had to do it again I wouldn’t have gone the OEM way. The two aftermarket switches are a better option in my opinion. I would do what others have done and mount it on the top part hidden away from eyes.

Having a Platinum made it difficult with the mounting of the camera too but like I said in the previous posting I used an IKEA wall bracket I had sitting around and with some minor trimming it worked out great, nice and snug with the hot glue. I’ll replace the hot glue with some JB weld when completed. Hopefully I finish everything today

 

I wanted to install the platinum grille and didn’t get one because I couldn’t figure out a nice place to put my camera. Interested in what you come up with.

 

I attached the photos of the bracket and how it looks on the outside. I will spray paint it black when I put the JB weld on it but it’s all done for now.
Unfortunately I never figured out where the gray and light blue cables go for the illumination of the OEM switch. I metered everything single option it could be, so in the end it’s not hooked up.

 

Oh one more thing DONT try and tap into the sensor on the grill for power and ground. Everything goes a little crazy with the airbag and LDA. In the end we ran it back to the battery and hook it up there.

 

Another mounting option for the honeycomb type grille.

 

Drill a 5/16 hole beneath the emblem and using the Natika IP69K (39.99 Amazon) camera or equivalent, insert shaft horizontal and bolt from behind. Has to be a camera like this that works vertically or horizontally. Some must be mounted with the threaded shaft vertical for the view to be correct. This mount moves the camera farther out to give a better view of distance to object while parking.
