3rd Gen Tacoma HAI's Cable Assy. for Front/Rear Camera Anytime, Navigation Override, Smartphone Mirr

Hoangde, great job on fulfilling my wish. Back on May 2017, I posted my dual camera setup

Had I waited two more months and saw you post on the HAI that would have solved my dilemma. I may still consider your HAI since it's cleaner to use the Head Unit.

 

I have 5 HAI cable harness ready to ship out.
Easy Installation Instruction is here.
Paypal to family and friend.... Click Here.. After done with PayPal, pm me your address.
Thanks

 

Looking to install this weekend, bit what is everyone using for a front camera? Cost is not the issue, clarity is key.

 

Are those harness already ready spoken for?

Interested in buying one.

 

I don't think there's been a solid answer yet. I'm in the same boat. I don't mind paying extra for a nice clear wide angle

 

It's posted earlier in the thread!

See images with that one, want something with grid lines and better optics.

 

I installed mine last weekend, I used this camera:

$23 Car Backup Camera, HD Night Vision, 3-in-1 Front/Side/Rear View, Waterproof Universal Fit, Black

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B018800TR2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It's ok, it's about the same as the backup camera. But it's not HD, you can see in the pic below, it's clear. It's way better in the day light, at night bright lights really wash it out.

 

Here's a couple pictures of the camera installed in my grill:

 

How did you mount/attached the camera to the grille? can you post pictures?
thanks,

 

I do not know where the input limitation lies, and I am not complaining. But with an analog RCA input, there is going to be only so much video quality.

Myself, I am pleased. Would full 1080p be cool? Sure, but then I'm not using it for movies or recording / action cam work.

Just my thoughts.

 

The camera came with this little ring-tab thingy (that's the technical term I am giving it ), I bent the flat part with the screw holes down then placed the adhesive piece that came with it on the tab and I sandwiched (another technical term ) that into a slot at the bottom of the grill right behind that opening. It's not ideal but it seems to be good for now. It's really not going anywhere, I've already had it at the car wash once and stood up to the car wash and drying just fine.

Here's the little "ring-tab thingy":

 

Need a real fish eye like the one in the rear.

 

So basically glued it to the grille using the bracket with the big hole and screw holes? the installation looks clean i like it.. Thanks for sharing Sir,

 

How do you guys power your mirabox?

 

Payment made, PM sent. Great job!

 

Thanks, Will ship out Monday and pm for tracking number.

 

Having an issue with Center Bearing Carrier, so I got some items together to built a camera to monitor bearing in motion.

1. Round Ceramic Magnets from Harbor Freight base
   
2. Low cost camera

Place Camera pointing toward Center Bearing Carrier


Drove on the freeway ~65 mph and monitor the motion (afternoon light shines Head Unit caused image looks washout).




Overall, you can build a Magnetic base Camera and placed it anywhere you needed such as under frame, under hood, top of the trailer to view in the rear when over size of the trailer blocked rear camera view ...etc.

 

Pretty interested in this kit

 

I Would Also like to know. Im a big fan of keeping the truck as wire free as I can, so tucking all the cables away would be ideal. However I have seen other users who already have their build in use, have the mirabox outside and connected to the cigarette lighter port. Im trying to avoid that route.
