A buddy just had his 2024 Tundra stolen from his driveway at night. This happened in rural Ontario.

The night it happened, a Land Rover was seen driving around and it stopped near the truck and then left and came back a while later and parked near a neighbor's house. They have a Ring camera. They saw the truck pull up and then lost the signal on the camera for a few minutes and when it came back the Land Rover and the Tundra were gone. IT is thought that they saw the Tundra and cloned the key fob on the spot. Then they jammed the cameras.

The Tundra was found in Montreal, Quebec about to be loaded onto a cargo ship heading to Africa.

The cops found a universal car remote in the truck console (one you can buy off Alibaba for a couple of buck). The GPS was disabled (I think he said wires were cut).

It does appear that these guys are organized and very selective about what they want to steal. The Tundra is apparently a big target, popular in Africa and pretty easy to take.

During the repairs, the service adviser said that this happens all the time and they usually don't get the trucks back.

Maybe installing an Airtag in the truck could help locate it but if it shows up in the "Find My Truck" app, sitting in the Congo, do you really want it back?

Yup, you can buy a key programmer off Amazon for $400. Then buy blank key fobs and reprogram based on the VIN. Very easy to do. Again, the kill switch is not 100% fool proof. But nothing is. But I'm not going to make it easy.

Yes, I have to remember to flip the switch. But it'll just become habit eventually

I got the Viofo A229.

I bought the Dongar 5-pin Type A adapter for the map light. Made the install super easy. It took a little less than 30 min. Although I still have to install the rear camera, but I'm still trying to figure out the best way to mount it.

I bought my camera on sale for $160 on Amazon.

I've read too many stories about fake Dongars from Amazon, so I ordered it directly from their site.

Question for you. Your link sends me to the 5 pin. Is this the correct one? How do I know what type of pin connector to order?

That's what was listed specifically for the 2025 tundra limited. There's a chart on their site.
