    I am researching dashcams and I am between the fitcamx and the oem Toyota dashcam. My main concern with the fitcamx is using the Y plug for the safety sensors. Is there a way I can plug it into the white plug in the headliner for the oem dashcam?

    I have the FITCAMX on my gx460 and it’s plugged into the sensor harness, been no issues with it. Been on there for couple years now

    I've had a fitcamx dashcam on one of my previous cars but the main reason I'm asking is because the Toyota oem dashcam has parking mode so I can only assume that white plug always has power. So if I could tap into that for the fitcamx I'd be able to use parking mode without hardwiring it.

    In for answers. I've had the fitcamx for a few months. Parking mode would be nice.

    Email them and ask them . I put one in my wife's Lexus that recorded 24/7. My wife works from home but it killed the battery as the car doesn't move for 7-10 days. And before everyone says it's the battery....it is not.

    Fitcam sent me another dongle to plug in NC and Shazam problem solved

    I have the Fitcamx and it disabled the lane departure and perhaps other stuff.

    I'll try that, any idea what the name of the plug is in the headliner?

    I have a large crack in my windshield (drivers side) with an inspection sticker that is due in Dec 2024. Therefore I'm preparing myself for the fact that I'll need a new windshield. When I have it replaced, I want to see how fast I can rip out that toyota dashcam and slam it on the concrete! Total garbage.

    I installed a FitCam on my 2024 1794 hybrid with no issues. Works great. I purchased the one with a rear facing camera but I have not installed the rear facing camera yet (not sure how and where I want place it just yet). Everything works fine (unlike someone else that said they lost lane departure).

    I really like the FitCam products. Have installed them in other vehicles (2022 Lexus SE Hybrid that was traded in on the Tundra, 2022 GX that was my wife's, Daughter's CH-R.). The SD card can be a pain to remove at times.

    I actually ended up going with the OEM dashcam for a great deal of $185 on ebay. Super easy Installation and does the job, surprisingly I don't have any complaints, it isn't as discreet as the fitcam but I like that I can tell it's recording with the light on whereas on my old fitcam I couldn't tell if it was recording or not because the LED were so dim.
