Question Thermal Camera recommendatios for dark roads?

New to the forum. Looking at getting a 5th gen Rx350h. We travel in dark roads and it is not uncommon for a deer to run onto the road and I would like to put an aftermarket thermal camera if possible. I was able to find a company called speedir just as an example. If anyone has any experience with adding a thermal camera to one of the 5th gen Rx I would appreciate any info you might be willing to share with me. I would be looking to cut out part of the grill and have it mounted in the front somewhere. Preferably if it could be added to be able to be viewed using the current entertainment system somehow, I understand this may be asking for to much. Also, if you know of other companies that offer thermal cameras for vehicles that you might have some experience with, please let me know. I just found the one I mentioned above after a quick google search. If I'm posting this in the wrong section, please feel free to move this post (moderators) and I apologize ahead of time for doing so. Thank you all for your time and advice you might be able to provide me with.

WELCOME!

There are Topics here about adjusting headlamp aim. If the RX you are looking at have automatic high beams, that is a useful feature, too.


Sorry, can't help with thermal imaging, never heard of fitting that to an auto. Would that help prevent a deer from running into the SIDE of your car? It happens....

Interesting, I'll have to look into adjusting the headlamp aim as an option.

Found this, but there are more detailed aiming directions in the RX Owners Manual.
