    Hi all,

    I have a 2021 Tundra. I want to add a driving/security camera and I want to hard wire it near the rear view mirror.
    Has anyone removed the cover from the rain/proximity sensor behind the rear view mirror?
    Is there a constant hot there?
    How does it come off?

    Cheers

    depending what type of connection the mirror has, you can use something like this...
    $33 Dongar Dashcam Power Adapter (12-pin for '15-'23 Toyota Tacoma. Also Compatible with Select Sienna, Honda, and More), Connects to Rearview Mirror, Built-in USB Power Source, Easy to Install

    I have a Tesla, does anyone know if I have a constant hot wire behind my rearview mirror? I have a Tacoma too, but I save those questions for the Tesla forum :bananadead:
