@@themandiyrin Just finished my install and it went flawlessly. Took me about 2 1/2 hrs including the prep for the harness. I have a bull bar on mine so camera placement was a little tricky. I watched many video's here on YT and until I saw yours I was unable to pull the trigger. Thank you again.
@@Steak_59 I'm so glad to hear the install went well and that my video helped! I'm eventually going with a bumper that has a bullbar so I will ask you for advice then for camera placement! Thanks for watching again!
As others have said, great vid. Was considering having a wiring shop do the install, but they quoted it at $400. This makes me a lot more confident i can manage it myself
This video made this process super easy! I did have one scare at first the camera showed a black screen but then i realized it wasn’t plugged in all the way lol😂
Yes wiring is not for everyone and I'm still learning it as well! Let me know how the kit from r4t is! I almost bought that one but they were out of stock at that time!
Followed step by step and got my camera installed in no time. Great video! The only issue i ran into was connecting the two black cables into the terminal then grounding them to the head unit, the cables were somewhat short but i managed to work through it pretty easily,. Thanks again
@@themandiyrinthanks for the quick reply. I just tested it again and noticed that when going from the front camera position to the neutral position it flashes the rear camera for a second before going to the Home Screen. It does not do that when going from rear camera to neutral. Anyone experiencing this? Any ideas on how to stop it?
@@sebastianbusto23 good catch! I’m actually in the same boat and mine is like that for half a second. I didn’t try to fix it as it doesn’t bother me much but mine is still doing that but works fine. Could just be the relay acting on the switch action.
I wish that this video had come up yesterday when I did my install. I was bouncing between the videos trying to figure out little steps that were not well explained in one video or the other. Great job on your video. Love the idea of grounding to the radio. I ended up putting my switch on the left of the steering column and had to splice in some wire for grounding by the fuse panel. Love those low temp solder connectors, BTW! I'll never go back to the old school kind!
Oh no! Wish mine came up too but I hope the install went ok! Thank you for watching my video and the kind words! Yes I agree with the solder connectors! They are great, don't think I can use other methods after that haha! Looking forward to hearing about some of your future mods! Cheers!
Hey bro this video was so well done and really helped me with my install. I think you did a great job with your editing and you took time to explain things slowly. Only thing I would have liked a bit more on is which cables you tied up behind the radio with zip ties for cable management. Thanks again!
Hi Pierson! Thank you for watching my videos and for the kind words! I agree, that would have been great as well, was just a difficult angle to get but good point! I may do a video update on just cable management in general on my Tacoma interior. Thanks for checking out the channel!

BRO! I had my anytime camera kit in the box for a month after watching a couple videos and feeling absolutely intimidated by the install! This made it seem so easy & gave me the confidence to finally install it without issue. Thanks for sharing! Subscribed🫡
Thanks bro! Appreciate you watching the video and subscribing. I'm glad it helped you get some confidence on the install! Let me know if you run into any issues and if you have questions! Thanks!
Thanks for watching my videos. Apologies, I've never tried this with aftermarket radio and the kit is made specifically for the OEM plug ins so I'm leaning towards not. Ill contact the company and find out for you.
Thanks for the video. How much of this would apply to a 2018 Tacoma extended cab with manual transmission? What is the brand of the camera, and where did you obtain it? Does it provide any memory to use as a dash camera? Do they make a version that I could use in a 2016 Mazda 6?
Hi! This will work on the 2018. Please click my link in the description for the camera purchase. I’m not sure about the Mazda, does it have apple car play right now?
I take it not all TRD Sports came with the front facing camera...also have that 360 view which is nice but there is a black bar that is obnoxious out of the OEM front facing camera. Glad I have it already though.
Hi thanks for watching my video! Yes unfortunately my 2022 sport didn’t come with a front facing camera which is unfortunate. But I’m glad it’s available to be added! I agree about the black bar!
great installation but is soldering necessary? i mean i have 7 years of soldering experience under my belt so its not a daunting task but i feel as if crimped mechanical connection will be superior in this application 🤔
Thank you for watching and for the sub!! Good luck on your mods let me know if you have any questions! I only have a detailed video on the trd pro grille. Check it out! Thanks again.
@@themandiyrin I agree with that.. Even me having troubles in front facing parking because of the hood (high) of our Taco, compare to our first vehicle (RAV4) which the hood is downward... It's good to see some worth mods like this for me to do in the future .

Great video! The only question I have is did you connect the red wire that you shrink rapped going to the engine bay? I see that you grounded the black wire but wasn't sure if the red was connected.
Thanks for watching the video and the kind words! In regards to your question, no you don't use that red wire at all, just shrink wrapped it to protect it from elements but it's not attached to anything!
Thanks for watching my video! I don't think that's a big concern, just make sure you cut really small to only fit the cords to pass through! That being said, a sealant won't hurt! You'll just have to cut again when you need to pass more cables through
Don’t know if this was asked, but does this void the warranty? I just got a new 2023 Tacoma base model, 4x4. Live reverse view is just the ticket for my trailer.
Thank you for watching my video! In regards to your question, I'm not sure about the warranty however this is easily removed and reversible so I don't think it'll be an issue personally.
I installed this in my 2016 Tacoma several years ago. It worked fine on the road but I had trouble that looked like overheating whenever I went wheeling. I haven’t found a solution yet but mfr sent me a second kit to try. That goes I this month.
is there an override switch or overide wiring harness for the factory front camera? My front factory camera turns off after a distance or exceeds 5 MPH. i would like to keep the factory camera on, on a trail.
Hi that I'm not sure as I haven't encountered that issue. I'll contact the manufacturer to see if they had this before. I assume you bought the exact camera I linked below?
@@themandiyrin my tacoma came from factory with 360 degree camera system. I didn’t put a front camera on my car tacoma. That’s the reason I was asking about an override
I have a 2020 Tacoma with cameras already , although what makes the cameras anytime because your not able to do that with these cameras i think ? do i have to purchase a specific kit or is a feature ? please help.
Great Video. One thing I noticed on my front camera installation is that when I switch from front view, to off, a quick view of the rear camera appears. I'm not too sure if I noticed it on your video (16:06). Is this is normal? Or something that can be fixed? It's nothing major, but it is a bit annoying.
Hi, first off thank you for watching my video and checking out the channel. In regards to your question, that also happens to me! A mini second slight change that shows the rear camera. Unfortunately I don't have a fix for that and have just accepted it as a minor annoyance!
Man, that was amazing. You are the Michael Jordan of camera-mounting! What state are you in? I would like to commission you to do that on my vehicle if possible. I live in Southern California. Let me know. Thanks!
Thank you for the kind words! Appreciate that as I’m a big MJ fan as well LOL! And oh I wish I could install yours! Unfortunately I live too far, I live in Canada at the moment!
Hi thanks for watching my video. Unfortunately I’m not sure why your 2019 doesn’t have the connector. I believe this camera is actually for 2016 and up so I assume it would work on 2019.
@@themandiyrin , I believe I did, but for different model year. What I mean by not illuminating when it’s in neutral. It does illuminate if I turn witch to front camera or rear camera, although yellow color. I wish it would blend with the blue illumination stock color.
Thanks for watching my video. If you need to go the the left of the steering wheel, you'd have to route it under then remove the plastic panel on the left. I believe there are other CZcams videos showing this process that's why I chose to show the middle panel version.
Haha I agree it was alot of wires! Good thing I had practice wiring a light post at this swamp my friend proposed at this weekend. Was a great experience minus the smell and the green water.
Hi thanks for watching my video! Yes the camera would work in off road but for my purposes my fiance is short and she actually uses it to park lol (to see over the hood). Additionally the anytime switch that comes with the front camera allows me to access the rear camera even when driving so it's good for trailers.
#theManDIYrin, Front View Cameras should definitely become standard safety features! I am perceptive about safety features like this one. Front View Cameras work like Rear View Cameras, which have become standard per safety regulation by IIHS and NHTSA in 2018. While Rear View Camera shows a video on the touchscreen of the automotive head unit of you car to provide you what you couldn't see in your rear bumper, Front View Camera provides you what you couldn't see in the front bumper. Both Rear and Front View Cameras address the dangerous problem of blindviews, which is especially true for large cars like SUVs, pickup trucks, minivans, and vans. The problem with these vehicles are that while they have more spacious cabins, they have bigger blindviews that could result in a pedestrian getting injured or killed by either a frontover or backover collision. Young children can be too short to be seen in the front or rear bumper that obstructs the driver's view. Children and pets are more likely to get killed in a frontover or backover collision with the former having a delayed development on their safety. According to kidsandcars.org, over thousands of children were killed or injured by frontover or backover collisions, in addition to suffocating by heat stroke in the car, which is fatal all-year round. These are the three most common causes of death in children under the age of 14. Losing a child, pet, or elderly to frontover or backover collision is tragic, but they can be preventable, especially with safety features consisting: Front, Rear, & Surround View Camera, Front & Rear Parking Sensors, Forward Collision Warning, Parking Obstruction Warning, Front & Rear Cross Traffic Warning, Surround View Warning, Forward and Reverse Automatic Emergency Braking (City, Highway, Parking). In addition, we should include safety features on the inside consisting: Rear Occupant Alert with radar (recommended) or ultrasound, Rear-Door Logic, End-Of-Trip Reminder, Rear Belt Minder, all of which are programmed to remind the driver to check for unexpected stowaway passengers, but if the driver ignores the warning, exits, locks and leaves the car without checking who is inside for 30 seconds or less, their car will detect minute movements with the radar or ultrasound detector, making the vehicle trigger the alarm and even send a message to your smartphone, thus saving the skin of the passengers. You have a great deal of responsibility on your shoulders. P.S.: Rear Occupant Alert may be pestiferous for drivers who wanted to temporarily leave their car while they are out to do grocery shopping or pumping at the gas station, but it would be worth the price.
‼️Correction: At 2:40 the video shows me connecting the male RCA with the red wire coming out of it from the Camera Harness to a female RCA with the black mark from the Switching Relay. This is incorrect, you need to choose the one without the black mark.‼️
Does anyone know what voltage the original rear camera of the 2019 tacoma works with? I also need to know the function by cable colors for it’s original harness. Thank you
This is amazing, but honestly I'd rather pay someone to do it for me. I'm in the same area (I have SW plates as well), just wondering if it's something you'd be willing to do? thanks!
Thank you for watching my video and the kind words! Nice glad to know someone’s in the area! Yes I can install it for you! Send me an email and we can make the arrangements (please see channel info for my email). Thanks!
amazing vid, i have a noob question . i have just a 2022 sr 4x2 . did not get the 4x4 as the adjusted market price was out of budget for me but still has me wondering is it still possible to use this mod on my version of the tacoma? or is this only for trd 4x2/4x4?
@@themandiyrin awesome bro!!! thank you for replying very quickly im going to turn on post notifications and will be looking forward for your next video man again thank you ! keep the good going.
Installed mine Thursday. Took six hours. Did a dry fit to make sure everything worked. It did. Did final install front camera no longer works. Contacted company I bought it from. Crickets.
Oh no! I'm sorry to hear that! What company did you buy your camera from? Luckily mine still works great. Hopefully the company is able to solve it for you or at least give you a refund.
Trail Grid Pro in Maryland. The rear camera works when toggling the switch that came with the kit. The front camera does not. Black screen on the Infotainment head unit. Worked fine when I just had the wires running from grill to inside the truck but stopped once I went through the firewall. I’m sure it is the connection between the camera and the firewall. First time it was all hooked it, the male and female connectors made a click when connected. Now they do not. And the arrows line up.
Hey @theManDIYrin my screen is upside down on the front view. I believe I have the camera physically mounted correctly. I did not cut the white wire initially. After cutting the white wire, the screen is still upside down. Any ideas? Thanks.
Hi thanks for watching my videos. Hmmm fortunately I have not ran into this situation. Only thing I can think of since you are sure the camera is mounted correctly (the thread is in the up and down direction) is you were sent a faulty camera. I read in some cases (although not with the brand that I have linked), the wires have been color coded wrong. If you want to try, I would suggest re-connecting the wires you cut (either solder then or get those wire connectors) then try cutting the other wires until you get it fixed. So trial and error. Else I would suggest asking them for a replacement.
Hi Ashruf! Not yet I don't have a lift on my truck (still saving money for it). But it'll be coming in the next couple of months. What about you? Any suggestion on a good one?
Hi thanks for watching my videos! Yes my truck is 4x4! And hmm yeah I agree, electrical can be complicated! I’m just too stubborn and wanted this mod bad haha
@@themandiyrin one more question, I think I messed up by getting a 4x2 but I can’t return anymore so I’m basically stuck with this TRD sport 4x2, did I made the wrong choice ? Will people make fun of me ?
@@Turtlemilk To answer your question, it really depends on your needs. For myself I live in Canada (Winnipeg in particular) and we get massive snow events here, so I prefer the 4x4 to get me out of situations where I can get stuck. Since it's a truck, 4x2 is still great and you'll just have to maybe have additional accessories (say recovery boards) to assist in situations. In terms of your comment on if people will make fun of you? That I cannot answer as that is dependent on individuals. The better question is can you be happy with this truck? I know it's easier said than done but what matters most of what YOU think versus what others. Cheers and thanks for checking out my channel!
Did anyone had issues after completing this mod? Apparently my microphone doesn’t work anymore, the one inside of the truck that i use during calls. Does anyone know how to fix this? How does the microphone cable look like? To see if i possibly disconnected it by mistake
@@themandiyrin my head unit says “much to phone is not connected” and yeah people on the other side of the phone call can’t hear me. I have a feeling I accidentally unplugged something or forgot to plug something back in
Thank you for the info, I have 1 more question is it normal for the fog lights to be hot cuz I just barely notice it and I have the stock fog lights that came with the truck. Thank you again for the response

Thanks for watching my video. If you need to go the the left of the steering wheel, you'd have to route it under then remove the plastic panel on the left. I believe there are other CZcams videos showing this process that's why I chose to show the middle panel version.
Is this possible? i can mount on top instead of the bottom you did on the grille. Planning to put it on trd pro grille. Thx you
Yes it’s possible! Thanks for watching my video let me know if you have questions during install
🎉 Amazing video
Thank you Michal! Appreciate you watching my video! Cheers
Nice job preforming the video, next time use ring terminal for grounding, not spade terminals.
Thank you! Good point on the ring terminal!
Thanks!❤
You're welcome! Hope it helped and thank you for checking out my channel!
Well I know who to call if I ever need to disassemble a bomb. That was a LOT of wires.
Haha I agree it was alot of wires! Good thing I had practice wiring a light post at this swamp my friend proposed at this weekend. Was a great experience minus the smell and the green water.
Great video, I assume a front facing camera would be good for off-road activities, but serves no purpose in city life.
Hi thanks for watching my video! Yes the camera would work in off road but for my purposes my fiance is short and she actually uses it to park lol (to see over the hood). Additionally the anytime switch that comes with the front camera allows me to access the rear camera even when driving so it's good for trailers.
#theManDIYrin, Front View Cameras should definitely become standard safety features! I am perceptive about safety features like this one. Front View Cameras work like Rear View Cameras, which have become standard per safety regulation by IIHS and NHTSA in 2018. While Rear View Camera shows a video on the touchscreen of the automotive head unit of you car to provide you what you couldn't see in your rear bumper, Front View Camera provides you what you couldn't see in the front bumper. Both Rear and Front View Cameras address the dangerous problem of blindviews, which is especially true for large cars like SUVs, pickup trucks, minivans, and vans. The problem with these vehicles are that while they have more spacious cabins, they have bigger blindviews that could result in a pedestrian getting injured or killed by either a frontover or backover collision. Young children can be too short to be seen in the front or rear bumper that obstructs the driver's view. Children and pets are more likely to get killed in a frontover or backover collision with the former having a delayed development on their safety.
According to kidsandcars.org, over thousands of children were killed or injured by frontover or backover collisions, in addition to suffocating by heat stroke in the car, which is fatal all-year round. These are the three most common causes of death in children under the age of 14. Losing a child, pet, or elderly to frontover or backover collision is tragic, but they can be preventable, especially with safety features consisting: Front, Rear, & Surround View Camera, Front & Rear Parking Sensors, Forward Collision Warning, Parking Obstruction Warning, Front & Rear Cross Traffic Warning, Surround View Warning, Forward and Reverse Automatic Emergency Braking (City, Highway, Parking). In addition, we should include safety features on the inside consisting: Rear Occupant Alert with radar (recommended) or ultrasound, Rear-Door Logic, End-Of-Trip Reminder, Rear Belt Minder, all of which are programmed to remind the driver to check for unexpected stowaway passengers, but if the driver ignores the warning, exits, locks and leaves the car without checking who is inside for 30 seconds or less, their car will detect minute movements with the radar or ultrasound detector, making the vehicle trigger the alarm and even send a message to your smartphone, thus saving the skin of the passengers. You have a great deal of responsibility on your shoulders.
P.S.: Rear Occupant Alert may be pestiferous for drivers who wanted to temporarily leave their car while they are out to do grocery shopping or pumping at the gas station, but it would be worth the price.
Thanks for watching my video! I agree this is an important mod and hopefully could be included in future Tacoma Iterations.
Great video!
What brand is your drill? Looks like Flex brand sold at Lowe’s in the US. Might be called something else in Canada.
Thanks for watching the video! For my drill it’s the maximum brand here in Canada from Canadian Tire!
Now if we can find a way to record???
Yes I agree I wish there's a way! I think may have to change the system for that!
Sorry if I missed it, but is there a version for the earlier 3rd gen models like the '17?
Hi! Thanks for watching. In their website there should be one for the earlier 3rd gen models yes!
‼️Correction: At 2:40 the video shows me connecting the male RCA with the red wire coming out of it from the Camera Harness to a female RCA with the black mark from the Switching Relay. This is incorrect, you need to choose the one without the black mark.‼️
Does anyone know what voltage the original rear camera of the 2019 tacoma works with?
I also need to know the function by cable colors for it’s original harness.
Thank you
Sorry I don’t know the answer to this. Thanks for watching my video!
This is amazing, but honestly I'd rather pay someone to do it for me. I'm in the same area (I have SW plates as well), just wondering if it's something you'd be willing to do? thanks!
Thank you for watching my video and the kind words! Nice glad to know someone’s in the area! Yes I can install it for you! Send me an email and we can make the arrangements (please see channel info for my email). Thanks!
@@themandiyrin sounds good! I just ordered a pro grill, I'll order the camera after. I'll hit you up soon! Thanks again
@@MChronicler love it! Looking forward to it!
amazing vid, i have a noob question . i have just a 2022 sr 4x2 . did not get the 4x4 as the adjusted market price was out of budget for me but still has me wondering is it still possible to use this mod on my version of the tacoma? or is this only for trd 4x2/4x4?
Hi Yamz, thanks for watching my video and for the kind words. This mod will work for the your version as well
@@themandiyrin awesome bro!!! thank you for replying very quickly im going to turn on post notifications and will be looking forward for your next video man again thank you ! keep the good going.
Does it work if I installed a trd pro grill on my 2022 tacoma?
Hi thanks for watching the video. Yes it works with the trd pro grill!
Installed mine Thursday. Took six hours. Did a dry fit to make sure everything worked. It did. Did final install front camera no longer works. Contacted company I bought it from. Crickets.
Oh no! I'm sorry to hear that! What company did you buy your camera from? Luckily mine still works great. Hopefully the company is able to solve it for you or at least give you a refund.
What is the issue you had? Wondering if I can help somehow.
Trail Grid Pro in Maryland.
The rear camera works when toggling the switch that came with the kit. The front camera does not. Black screen on the Infotainment head unit. Worked fine when I just had the wires running from grill to inside the truck but stopped once I went through the firewall. I’m sure it is the connection between the camera and the firewall. First time it was all hooked it, the male and female connectors made a click when connected. Now they do not. And the arrows line up.
Company sent a replacement component that should arrive tomorrow.
@@Hansaman58 hi! I’m glad to hear they are giving you a replacement! Hope it works great after the change, keep me posted!
Will this work on a sr5
Is it the same instillation for a 2020 ?
Yes it will work in 3rd gen tacomas
@@themandiyrin I did it as indicated and it doesn't want to work. Can you help me? I would appreciate it. Thank you.
I can try to help yes! What seems to be the issue?
Any issues with the TSS sensor?
Hi thanks for watching, no issues at all!
will this fit on a highlander
Hi thanks for watching my video. It should work but I don't own a Highlander so I can't guarantee.
Hey @theManDIYrin my screen is upside down on the front view. I believe I have the camera physically mounted correctly. I did not cut the white wire initially. After cutting the white wire, the screen is still upside down. Any ideas? Thanks.
Hi thanks for watching my videos. Hmmm fortunately I have not ran into this situation. Only thing I can think of since you are sure the camera is mounted correctly (the thread is in the up and down direction) is you were sent a faulty camera. I read in some cases (although not with the brand that I have linked), the wires have been color coded wrong. If you want to try, I would suggest re-connecting the wires you cut (either solder then or get those wire connectors) then try cutting the other wires until you get it fixed. So trial and error. Else I would suggest asking them for a replacement.
@@themandiyrin thanks for the quick response. After some research, I snipped the purple wire and that fixed the problem.
@@gwelch63 Glad it works! Cheers! Thanks for checking out the channel.

Do you have a lift kit on your tacoma?
Hi Ashruf! Not yet I don't have a lift on my truck (still saving money for it). But it'll be coming in the next couple of months. What about you? Any suggestion on a good one?
This looks more professional than DIY
Hi Clement thanks for watching my videos! Definitely doable DIY although wiring is intimidating at times!
Great video, but I think I'm going to let my car guy do this install.
Appreciate it. Thanks for watching the video and checking out my channel!
2:02 My camera harness has a green wire with rca instead of a red wire
Hi thanks for watching my video, not sure why your wires is different than mine thou. Suggest to contact where you bought it from
WHERE TO BUY THE PHONE MOUNT PLS ?
Hi you can buy it at Etsy or Taco Clout!
Hi. This camera work wit my Sony XAV-AX8000 radio
Hi thanks for watching. I'm not sure as I don't have that radio.
damn i was going to get this but fuccch that looks too hard to do. is your truck 4x4?
Hi thanks for watching my videos! Yes my truck is 4x4!
And hmm yeah I agree, electrical can be complicated! I’m just too stubborn and wanted this mod bad haha
@@themandiyrin one more question, I think I messed up by getting a 4x2 but I can’t return anymore so I’m basically stuck with this TRD sport 4x2, did I made the wrong choice ? Will people make fun of me ?
@@Turtlemilk To answer your question, it really depends on your needs. For myself I live in Canada (Winnipeg in particular) and we get massive snow events here, so I prefer the 4x4 to get me out of situations where I can get stuck. Since it's a truck, 4x2 is still great and you'll just have to maybe have additional accessories (say recovery boards) to assist in situations.
In terms of your comment on if people will make fun of you? That I cannot answer as that is dependent on individuals. The better question is can you be happy with this truck? I know it's easier said than done but what matters most of what YOU think versus what others.
Cheers and thanks for checking out my channel!
"Like" smash!!!!...boom!
Thanks! Appreciate you!
Did anyone had issues after completing this mod? Apparently my microphone doesn’t work anymore, the one inside of the truck that i use during calls. Does anyone know how to fix this? How does the microphone cable look like? To see if i possibly disconnected it by mistake
Hmmm curious about the responses. I haven’t had that issue luckily. Not sure how’s that’s connected to the front camera?
What kind of issues do you have with mic? People on the other line can’t hear you?
@@themandiyrin my head unit says “much to phone is not connected” and yeah people on the other side of the phone call can’t hear me. I have a feeling I accidentally unplugged something or forgot to plug something back in
@@sebastianbusto23 keep me posted if you're able to fix it! I'll at mine as well to see if there are any plugs associated with the mic!
Where did u buy the kit is it everything included? thank you in advance
Hi thank you for watching the video! I bought the kit in here: www.anytimebackupcamera.com/collections/all
Thank you for the info, I have 1 more question is it normal for the fog lights to be hot cuz I just barely notice it and I have the stock fog lights that came with the truck. Thank you again for the response
damn when i click front or rear back camera comes on
Thanks for watching my video! And oh no, hope you haven’t put everything back on so you can reverse the wires! Should be an easy fix!
@@themandiyrin yea I don’t know which wires I messed up tho
Hi! Try to switch the yellow RCA's (one has a black mark on it), see if that works.@@andrewtorgerson6143
@@themandiyrin I rewatched your video and basically just redid everything and it works now thx for the great video!
@@andrewtorgerson6143 you're welcome! Glad it helped!
I don't have blue cables...😳...what now?
Hmmmmm I think you were sent a defective product. I would suggest contacting the seller for a replacement.
2:45 this part of the video made me 🙅♂️ threw me off as I was watching and not reading the error on the bottom of the screen
Oh no! Hope the rest of the install went well thou! Yes I made a slight mistake on the original video!
This video makes me prefer to pay a professional 😜
Haha it can definitely be daunting task but it's doable as a DIY. Thanks for watching!
Didn’t test the camara
Thanks for watching my video Edwin. On step 10 of this install @15:41 I tested the camera and showed shots of it working while driving forward and backwards as well as when in reverse. Cheers!
I'm still waiting for your response
Haha I responded to you, you gotta give me more than 2 hours to respond
can it record
Hi sadly no it's cannot record. See my other video here for the dash cam I used to record my rides. czcams.com/video/guGscZELeSc/video.html
