I was referring to their hardwire kit needing a constant power and acc signal. Thanks for the insight. I assumed that was the case but didn't know the details. I did not mean to imply that the Dongar kits or the Dongar Pro was in any way lacking or defective. I just prefer the Viofo camera and...

Yes, this plug supplies 12V constant, 12V ACC, and 0V. Need all 3 for the Viofo and other cameras for their parking/sentry mode. It's the main reason I did not go with any of the Dongar adapters. I managed to just tuck the rear camera wire into the pillar trim and door seal.

That's still an option. This is just a lot cleaner for me and doesn't require an add-a-fuse. There also isn't a lot of room in the fuse box to close the covers once you've added them.

That would work just fine. It's the same concept. Since you have a premade splitter it should be no problem.

You will need mini low profile fuses. There are fuses in the interior fuse panel under the glovebox that will work. The problem is that there is not enough space between the fuse box and the plastic kick cover to fit an add a fuse so you will need to leave the cover off. See the detailed post...

Yes, the one on the left will work perfectly. That connector is actually what gave me the inspiration to do this. I believe the Dongar wires are 22AWG and the Viofo hardwire kits are 20 AWG. So just make sure you use a 22-20 size butt splice wire crimp. The color codes are the same between the...

The Dongar Pro has it's own "parking mode" where it continues to provide power to the dashcam after the ignition is turned off. This is great for dashcams without their own built in parking mode. The Viofo has a parking mode (when hard wired) where it detects that the ignition is turned off and...

The water thing surprised me too. Took me a bit to realize where it was coming from.

Not having a canister was a big draw for me as well. A little water gets in a few gaps that I haven't bothered to cover. I'm sure you could seal it up a bit better with some more weather stripping. Even without anything extra it isn't bad.

I have the BAK Revolver without the T slots and have been very happy with it. It's a little finicky to install just right but it has been very solid once I dialed it in.

Normally I would agree, however the AUX switches already use a relay. I would not bump it over the 15A without supplemental wiring though.

Yes to your first question. That is how it is designed. There are only 2 powered AUX plugs as far as I am aware so you'd have to double up at least one to use all 3 AUX switches. As for your second question, theoretically yes, I believe they are all the same wire gauge so it should be safe. But...

The bolts are M6-1.0. This is all I have for part numbers for the rack components. Doesn't immediately turn anything up but you can usually search around on the part sites and find something.

I rent hybrid Camrys and Rav4s all the time for work. Every now and then I hear what you're talking about from them but it's maybe 1 in 10 or less. No consistency as far as mileage or trim. I imagine it's the regenerative braking or something to do with it. I have not heard it from my own Tacoma.

Are you talking about these? 90467-07215 https://wholesaledirect.moderntoyota.com/oem-parts/toyota-bumper-cover-reinforcement-clip-9046707215?c=bT0xJmw9MSZuPVJlY29tbWVuZGVkIFByb2R1Y3Rz I usually have better luck finding part numbers by searching through the Toyota part sites. Once you have the...

Thanks, that was the intent! Wanted to keep it clean and simple.

You're welcome. Unfortunately they are not publicly available and technically shouldn't be shared. They are available through TIS (Toyota Information Systems). It has all of the information that service techs and dealerships have access to on wiring, mechanical, and software. It's great but...

Yes, this taps into the factory wiring harness connector reserved for the OEM dashcam. It provides the constant and accessory voltage needed for parking mode.

I am fairly sure that the wiring harness for this plug is 22AWG and I think it's fused off the dome light which is 10A. But I wouldn't wire anything in that draws more than 5A. EDIT: Looks like it depends on production date. Regardless it is 10A fuse, but I wouldn't want to pull more than 5A as...

Originally I left it long in case it didn't work or I wanted to reuse it. But once I had it wired up I just couldn't be bothered to shorten things and reterminate them.
