    I picked up an X Trek grille locally for my 2020 TRD OR w/ the advanced tech package (TSS and Camera). The grille has the spot for the TSS sensor, but nothing for the camera. I have the mesh backing that XTrek also sells, and can surely rig something up, but before doing so am curious of the solutions TW has come up with for mounting the camera.

    TacoVinyl sells a simple bracket for use with the Heritage grill. Wonder if its close. It just screws into existing holes above the TOYOTA name plate.

    Nice! What is it mounted onto? Did you use a bracket or housing for the camera? Any chance you can take a close up pic?

    Sorry I got busy and forgot to get back to this. I simply used two sided tape to determine the best location for the camera and then I just glued it to the grille. Been that way for a couple of years so I’m happy.

    Thanks for the reply. Is that the OEM front camera in a different housing (or not the OEM camera at all)? That's the challenge I have right now - no housing for the camera to mount it like you have.

    Aftermarket camera from Amazon. I actually rigged it up with a wireless transmitter and receiver so no penetration of the firewall.

    I used 3 zip ties to mount the OEM camera in the top most horizonal space, in the center. The horizonal channel below that was a bit smaller, so up high worked best.
