Aftermarket camera in a TSS pro grille?

I did a search and everything I was finding was how to mount the oem camera into a pro grille, or mounting an aftermarket camera into a non-tss pro grille. I'm trying to add an aftermarket front camera to my 2021 with an aftermarket pro grille. Does anyone have pictures of this done in a way that doesn't interfere with the TSS and still gives a good picture for parallel parking/nose first into a tight garage. would love to see where and how you mounted it, and what camera you are using. Thanks in advance.

 

It shouldn't interfere with TSS.
I have the anytime camera kit with the premium camera

 

I upgraded my stock OffRoad grill to the TRD "Heritage" grille and no issues moving the camera. Mine was OEM though, but a camera is a camera, so yours should be fine.

I was looking for feedback on mounting that isnt in the OEM location since my aftermarket grille doesnt have that.

 

Thank you, glad to hear this isnt an issue in that mounting spot as that is where i was considering. do you have a picture of what your fov is with that mounting location?

 

I did the same as @Absolut_Boost and here is a pic of what it looks like.
Each colored line happens to be 1'1" away from the car. And the lines line up to the insides of my tires perfectly. So i know if a rock is in between the two guides. I will not run over it on the trail.

I did have to use some tools to cut away at some plastic to get it centered. Nothing some power tools cant handle.

 

I used two of the rubber wedges tho! Stack them up and find the angle that works best for you before you get it tight and cant undo it easily!

 

perfect, thank you!

 

I know you mention you should have any issues with the TSS. Now you have had it on, run into any problems?

 

I know im a different guy, but i have had no issues at all with mine and I have the same set up.

 

I did mine too. It’s not centered but it’s only 3mm off. Indistinguishable unless you use a tape measure.

 

Would you be able to share any information as to where you got the front camera from? I also replaced my grill just like yours and I really want to fill that hole in the near future.

 

My camera is OEM, it came with the truck. You can buy a front facing camera from Anytime Camera though. They're easy to setup and install.

 

No problem, appreciate the feedback and the other post with pics.

 

I tried several before landing on this one. sharp on the jbl 8" screen, very fast iris transitions from light to dark without the delay some others have.
as far as non OEM mounting this one is mounted on a hinge already with a bowtie shaped flat for mounting on the PRO grille segments. you have 180 degrees of play with that hinge. you also have a lot of more cable routing options without the 1 inch long threaded wire conduit those fixed angle cameras where shims are your only adjustment

no problems yet

 

I've seen that style, and while the option to adjust would be nice, I think the other kind looks more OEM than the metal hinge bracket.

 

I got it installed today. Thanks for helping me decide on the location.

 

If you can, post up which camera you have and what the FOV is on the screen with it mounted that way (ie, no angled spacers) thanks.

 

No problem. I am still debating on whether to keep the distance lines or not.
