    Good morning,
    I’m thinking about installing a plug-in-play camera(camera mounts to the front grill) or a camera mounted to the windshield.
    Pro and cons?
    The front mounted(camera in the grill) that I found is the
    Anytime Backup & New Front Facing Camera Kit Installation by Trail Grid Pro.

    I received that kit as a gift and recently installed it. Install was easy if you have basic mechanical skills. I spent the most time trying to find a spot to mount it. I have an aftermarket pro-style grill and could not find a mount to work. I saw a few guys on here drill a hole and mount it under the TOYOTA emblem. I did the same, and mounted it favoring the drivers side (trying not to interfere with the PCS). Looks OEM and works great! I didn't have any blank switches, so I disconnected the phone charger switch ( never worked anyways) and mounted the switch there. Overall I am happy with the mod. I have used it in parking lots to help see how close I'm parking when pulling straight into a space. It's also nice being able to use both front and rear cameras by toggling the switch whenever you want.
