My wife has a 2008 ES 350 with NO navigation screen. She wants to install an after-market camera.

Any words of wisdom

Thanks

John

It is well worth the investment. I believe it was 200 for me including parts and labor. After you visit the link, you can see i have added a rear view camera and replaced my rear view mirror. The new rear view has auto dimming feature just as the OEM did and all I am missing is the compass which I don't care for too much. Other than that, it has an adaptive display to show whats behind you when you are reversing. Visibility is fine even at night. Never had an issue, and continues to be of assistance. I don't know the name of the unit, but I know I've seen this same exact setup in an FJ cruiser from toyota themselves. I had a long beach toyota tech come to my place to do the install as his side gig. Best of luck!

 

Thanks, E350Chuck

My wife went ahead and had a system installed. The display looks like yours - the original mirror was taken off and a new one (auto vox) was put on. It has an auto-dimming feature. The camera is supposed to be a high-end Sony model, but I can't find it on-line. The installer didn't provide any boxes or manuals, so I'm supposed to take his word. I'm on the verge telling him to rip the whole lot out. Something doesn't sit right with me.
