    And does the ruyoet work plug and play with the anytimebackup setup?

    need to get one of those mounts!

    They both have the same resolution, the difference is the FoV. You are trying to see a whole lot more with the same pixels if you have the 210 FoV Nakita than the 170 FoV Ruyoet. They also make a 170 FoV Nakita. So you sacrifice what’s visible for a less blurry image.

    I don’t find a huge improvement in the 720p aftermarket cameras that we typically use as adding a camera over the OEM backup cam. I am not sure others agree or disagree though. Maybe getting a better head unit with a better screen may make a bigger difference.

    I just installed the ABC kit with the upgraded front camera, and I’m a little disappointed in the image quality. But it does work as advertised.
    I have the new 2020 OR grill and it comes with the holes for the oem camera. I just grabbed a metal piece and bent it accordingly.

    You make one for the 2020 OR grill right? You have a pic? Price?

    $8, this is the nakita version, I’ve not made the ruyoet version yet.

    Yea I have the anytime backup camera with the front camera mounted to my grill and it looks like absolute dogshit. The rear OEM camera looks pretty darn good to me, but this front camera looks like less than 480p. It's hardly useable. Wanted to be able to see rocks on the trail but the resolution is not really good enough for that.

    I have the natika version that comes with the ABC kit. 70733314-4517-4117-AFFF-37B283413ED9.jpg
    But I had to make the bracket extend forward

    yeah someone made a bracket for that one on here too, so I never bothered with it. I bought my ABC kit without a camera.

    I made a custom install bracket out of a couple of these little "Ace" brackets.

    That’s what I experienced this weekend. First time with the front cam on the trails. Better than no cam but cannot rely on the front cam at all.

    No worries. Mine is working fine at the moment. Just need to paint it black.

    That was my other option too. We’ll see how long the one I bent holds up.

    Just go to your local dealership and take the vin off a trd pro on the lot. Or look at their inventory online. I did the first way and it worked. Got my grille in April 26th

    Did you end up fine tuning the bracket yet? Also, earlier you mentioned you were going to try a third camera. You had a nakita and a ruyoet. I never saw a post for a third camera. I'm thinking about doing the Ruyoet but wanted to see your results for the 3rd camera. I purchased a grill from toyota using a random vin of an 2018 TRD Pro but it looks similar to the OP. Hopefully your bracket will still work
