Has anyone tried to install a dash cam through the rearview mirror? We attempted to do so but the cover is on pretty tight and we don't want to break it. We tried looking a tutorials from other cars ( the 2023 GX and RX) but the cover for this one seems different.

 

I tapped into one of the usb power fuse, and route the cable through the weather rubber seal to the the spot next to the rear view mirror.

 

Does anyone had to remove the A pillar trim to route the wire? I heard from someone that I should not route the wire over the airbag.
This is my first time installing a dash cam and I am afraid that I may damage something in the process.

 

You don’t need to remove the A trim, just pull the rubber seal and squeeze the wire in the gap, when you reach the top of the ATrim , squeeze the wire in with very light force. After that everything is easy.

 

Thank you for your response. I was wondering if it was OK to route the wire over the airbag but it seems that the cable will not inhibit the deployment of the airbag.

 

I installed the OEM Lexus Dashcam. Installation was very easy. I was going to connect to via the digital mirror utilizing a wire harness, but I found an open connector above the interior lights.

 

how do you like that dashcam? I have never had one in any vehicle I have owned and the TX I hope to take delivery of later this week has this one installed already at the dealer....

 

It's good, there are better video quality dashcams on the market like BlackVue or VIOFO (have the A129 installed in my GS350) but I wanted the seamless integration and factory look and finish. That's why I went with the OEM dashcam.

 

gotcha. I didn't have a choice because the car has one installed. so that is what I am working with. not a lot of luxury trim cars coming into dealers in MA so I settled on a few things including color...

coming from a german brand where you can configure and order away this is a lot different...

 

You'll be fine with the OEM dashcam, I didn't have one from the factory but still chose it. In most cases you're just looking to validate who was at fault if you were involved in an accident and what you have will do just that. I'm not looking to film a movie with it

 

totally get it.

 

I was considering installing a 2 channel dashcam with parking mode enable. Can anyone tell me where the interior fuse box is and whats the best way to route the wires?

 

there is a power outlet at the lower left corner of the truck, you can install the 2nd dashcam there, it is much better than the two channel rear camera ‘s resolution . It is slim design with WiFi connections to your cell phone when needing to watch the video. You can route and hide the wire in the trunk rubber seal

 

Interesting. I actually didnt notice the outlet there but it is a good suggestion.

Any chance you know where the fuse box in the TX is? Side note, is that the OEM cargo liner?

 

The front fuse box is on the left side of the driver foot rest. You need a tiny flat screw driver to pop out the cover clip and you can tab in the power outlet fuse. Negative wire you can connect it to a metal part. You will need a power voltage regulator to downsize the 12V to 5V, you can easily find it on Amazon
