    Anyone here using their GoPro on the factory windshield mount?

    I’m looking for recommendations for a extension that I can use so the view won’t be obstructed by the rear view mirror apparatus.

    Why the factory decided on that location for a mount is puzzling.

    Thanks - TRD Off Road 4 x4

    I have thr go pro mount and it wasn't obstructed by anything the few times I used it. I've now got a Insignia mounted on the rear view mirror.

    That is because Toyota has been watching and noticed that mount hasn't been used much in the videos. 2016-2019 Tacomas have it. Toyota removed it for 2020 Tacomas... Not sure about 2021 or beyond.

    Most people use magnet mounts for their gopros or cameras on the side of their trucks. Or on the hood/roof.

    I thought it was discontinued in 2019, so only 2016-2018 have them.

    I've used it a few times and don't think the videos have come out bad. Once you position the camera at the right angle it works fine IMO.

    That's bizarre. My view doesn't look like that. I get a partial view of the rear view mirror :( I'll have to check the settings.

    Black thing is called safety sense. Also can be called TSS.
