    I've been wanting to put in a dashcam this for some time but life, work, laziness always got into the way.
    I have a 2015 Tacoma 2x4 crew cab short bed. An engineer I work with had an accident recently where the bitc....I mean lovely lady claimed he hit her. Well, he had a dashcam and it dashed her claims (she totaled his car). That made my mind up.
    I purchased a Z-Edge S3 as it has two cameras and was at a good price. I looked at several install vids and they all have the rear camera going down the window pillars and up to the rear window. I didn't want to do that. I'm applying power to the camera via the rearview mirror power plug in the overhead liner. Tapped into the Blk/Yel wires and have a radar detector and dashcam juiced from there. Now for the rear camera, I used the fish tape and ran it through to the back window under the headliners. Had everything installed in 20 minutes. All wires in are the headliner out of the way. The front camera is behind the rearview mirror and the back camera is just to the side of the sliding window. Very satisfied with install and function. Now waiting to see if State farm has a deduction for having it. Zero bubble.

    First thing I did when I got my truck was put in a dashcam. Ive got a few interesting things on it, but thankfully no crashes yet.
