Drive Recorder Feature

[Nvideon]

Just found out that the 2026 RAV4s have this feature that records the drive using the front, rear, and side cameras like Teslas. Anyone know if this is a feature that will be added via software updates to the premium 4th gen tacos?

Pffft….. when hell freezes over that Toyota would ever add that feature. Go buy a new truck is what they want You to do. How do you expect them to stay in business if they add features to older vehicles ?

They would need to add memory. Perhaps in 2027 or so.

All new software (Arene). We probably won’t see it until refresh time?

It would take adding storage, too.

Record myself driving like a maniac? No thanks.

When you get in a wreck, records footage too.

Nope, won't happen. I have yet to see Toyota add a feature during updates. I have only seen them remove.

Yep, it’s an entirely new system, hardware, software etc.

Current hope is maybe you would be able to swap head units once they add that but thats about it.

There is still hope , Tesla stores video data on a usb stick so it may not require a new head unit.

Am I correct in assuming this is basically more similar to dashcam+on Mercedes vs sentry mode on Teslas?

Nevermind. I forgot I’m talking about Toyota and not Tesla. I doubt there will be any updates. Let olone one that adds functionality.
