    Hey yall, I'm a new Tacoma owner and I have been wondering what this box is. It's mounted to the windshield passenger side behind the rearview mirror.

    I have a 19' V6 Sr double cab 4x4 if that makes a difference. I don't think it does.

    without actually seeing it, I'm going to guess something to do with the safety sense system or maybe adaptive cruise control/lane keep system?

    I wish they would just turn it, and the other cameras, into a dashcam for security, accidents, etc.

    Kinda glad they didn't... it would probably be used against you when having warranty work/insurance claims done...

    Yea, I can see that too. Kinda like your phone can be used against you now.

    But it would be nice to have secure options since the cameras are already in place.

    Just a head's up, get good glass replacement insurance if you can. I had a cracked windshield replaced and it would have been ALOT more money than my deductible because of the TSS needing recalibration with the new glass.

    Its where you keep the owners manual. Give it a good pull. The latch sticks a bit.

    Don’t listen to these people. They don’t know what they’re talking about.
    It’s actually a missile guidance system.

    Mine works well.
