Just got a text from my service center saying installing the grill would mean getting rid of the front facing camera that provides birds eye 360 view, I have a 22 TRD sport as well. Did you have to do this?
@themandiyrin2 жыл бұрын
Hi no the 22 TRD sport doesn’t come with a front camera so it doesn’t have the 360 view (at least here in Canada Version). For other countries I’m not sure unfortunately. For me personally I didn’t have that issue. I’m actually installing a different front camera “anytime front camera from running 4 tacos” just so I can have a front facing camera.
@WarfighterMilsim2 жыл бұрын
@@themandiyrin thank you for the quick reply! I just got my 22 sport last week in the US, mine has a front camera that allows the 360 view, but it’s odd because I’ve seen other people use the one you mentioned as well which to me says it’s definitely possible to retain with a TRD sport grill. I definitely would prefer to keep the function, so I guess I need to dig around to see how or maybe see if it’s just my Toyota service center not knowing.
@themandiyrin2 жыл бұрын
@@WarfighterMilsim no problem glad to chat with fellow taco owners! In my opinion I’m sure there is a way to install a tTRD pro style grille while keeping the function. You may need to modify the grill to install the camera but I’m sure there is a way. I’ll take a look as well to see what I can find online!
@themandiyrin2 жыл бұрын
@@WarfighterMilsim I think you just need to add a mounting bracket for the camera… the sensor will work the same as my relocation. The only difference I see is that your front camera won’t be able to go on the centre of the grille (you may need to offset it a little so it doesn’t block the sensor). I’m dealing with that as well as I’m trying to find an optimal location for my front anytime camera. I’m going to be installing it a bit on the left side of the new sensor.
