    I have a rear camera that is already connected to my double din Kenwood stereo that shows up when I reverse. I want to add in a digital mirror and front camera so that I can see how close objects are to the front bumper (i.e. when parallel parking). I believe that some of the digital cameras will also come with a dash camera- which I am not against. I'd like to get some recommendations from Tacoma members for their real world input rather than read through all of the Amazon reviews to pick something. TIA!

    Thanks, I think I'll look into the first module (to switch between front and rear) as I wouldn't know where to mount the side cameras on my truck!

    They are put in on the bottom of your mirrors. I got it to some day add to my sienna. problem is its amplfied factory head unit/backup camera is non RCA camera input. NO way Im changing to aftermarket w/ the fully integrated factory JBL surround sound. Have yet to find away to add it.

    I have a 2015 sienna with only the rear view camera, but the 2018+ had full 360 degree camera and Apple CarPlay. I haven't read yet if swapping the 2018+ headunits into the older 2015 model years is plug and play or would need some wiring (or electronic digital bits) modification. If it would work, I could just purchase the 2018+ side mirrors and front camera and run wiring to the headunit.
