How about the Lexus Start+ that is right below it. You think that would work on U.S. 4RXs?

We're using these (all dual cams) in all our cars and could not be happier!

I'm thinking about installing one of these but never heard of Lexus Dash Cam. So I was thinking about the discreet A119 Pro V2. Does anyone has any experience with this dash cam? Inputs are appreciated.

I think he means the dash cam is rebadged and overpriced, not Lexus vehicles

Anyway, I could easily slap a Lexus sticker on a $50 dash cam and sell it for $300, LOL!

I use the BlackVue dash/security cam system. It’s discreet with motion detection, parking mode and impact sensors which all send notifications to your phone. It also has cloud capabilities and live viewing while your car is parked are being driven by a 19yr valet driver

I don't know how much the dash camera cost so I can't say it's overpriced but it doesn't look like a rebadge of an existing unit. The software is unlike any I've seen so far so it's quite possible Fujitsu Ten made this specifically for Toyota/Lexus.

I'm using the Viofo A119 camera and it's pretty good so far. Good camera for the money.

1080p and will undoubtedly have grains in the dark. OEMs are always slow to get the latest tech.

+1 for OEM-ness, but the price and specs needs more to be desired.
