Has anyone install an OEM front camera?

I have a 2026 TRD off road without a front camera and wanted to know if anyone has installed an OEM front camera and if could you share please.

Take a look at FitcamX...nice unit and it has a rear cam option plus the price is right.

My experience.

I recently installed the OEM “integrated” DashCam in my 2024 off-road. Installation is simple and functions fine. It does look like an afterthought and even after 3 months still looks like an add on. I was rear ended about a month ago and the camera was not much help.

At the same time I installed a FitcamX in my Lexus. Build quality looks OEM and is well integrated into the mirror housing. I forget if it is there. Install is easy and is completely reversible if you hate it. Better video quality, lower price and has the rear camera option.

I agree you might want to consider FitcamX as an option

I think OP needs to re-define what he means by front camera.

I was interpreting this as the MTM camera, but consensus seems to think this is in regards to a dashcam.

I am interested in this. Are you asking about something in the grill that will help you see what's is right in front of the truck, like a trail cam? Are wanting to see it on your monitor that's built into your dash? If so, I've done some research and it seems that if it's not factory installed, you need a different computer in your truck. It is probably more cost effective to trade in your truck and buy one with it installed from the factory. If there is another way, I would love to hear about it. For me, it's a big reason to get the premium package. I would next time.

So it wasn't just me? I thought the question was a little vague. That seems to be a theme with forums lately.

Sorry I meant the front camera that goes on the grill to see what’s in front of you. But thank you !

Yes I mean the front camera that goes in the grill to see what’s in front of you. Not the dash camera.

I would imagine that is going to be easier to find an aftermarket solution as OEM would need the harnesses, mounts, and not to mention the SW for the MTM capability.

I’d been waiting for an aftermarket option, which has yet to figure out how to integrate a front camera.

I'm interested in this as well. Adding an OEM front camera would be a game-changer for tight parking and off-roading. Does the factory head unit already have the input, or do we need an interface harness? Looking forward to seeing if anyone has a clean install guide.

Just installed mine. This thing is pretty awesome.

I asked about this at the dealership before buying mine and it is not possible to add the MTM cameras after the fact I was told. They probably made it that way so the premium package would sell because otherwise a lot of people would only want the MTM without the moonroof etc.
You'll need to go for an aftermarket solution like the wolfbox that has been mentioned. I dont remember who made them but I've seen aftermarket solutions with the full360 view so there should be a full range of options out there to fit your needs.
