I've done the same on my 2018 Ford Focus.That sensor box is the perfect spot and you can't see the camera from outsideWhat year Tacoma do you have ? I bought a 2019 and it has that radar equipment above the mirror. There is enough room to mount my camera on the lower part of this. It is a nice piece of smooth plastic so it should stick well there . Since I am used to this equipment already, adding the camera there should not be a distraction
I did mount it today and working my cable to the back camera. I will take some pics tomorrow if I have a good day@Airborne have you installed the camera?Pictures I'm curious how it looks on the sensor box in your car
Here is where?. You have earth for location? I have a beater Caviler It will not pass inspection account of the rust on the frame. I was going to junk it but it rides and drives good, my bro in law wants it so I am gifting the car to him. He is severely disabled. I feel bad for him. Here in Pa. the state sprays this salt brine on the road and it rusts everything underneath. Then the state tells you you cannot have rust on your car. I am getting around to the inspection, he knows a guy who will pass the car so it all works out. I worry. About my new truck with all this salt crap. Thinking of getting it treated, they use “fluid film” it is called. Now here is another scenario,Toyota says it will void the warranty if I get mine sprayed. They said it gets in the seals,etc. I think this is B.S. but this was what they told me. That is why I am curious where you live. Never heard of no car inspections here in the statesMy neighbor told me growing up they'd go to the junk yard and find a car with a current sticker, fix it up enough to be driveable and then drive it until that sticker expired. Rinse and repeat. Granted he's almost 70 so times have definitely changed. No inspections here thankfully and at the same time unfortunately. I'm always worried those outside shades will rip, tear, get dirty, and/or screw up the paint. It's not uncommon to see 50+ mph wind gusts in normal storms here.

I have the rear camera just hanging for the time being, Hope this is what you wanted to see. The camera is mounted as high as possible. There are slots in the radar device that I did not want to cover. I assume they are vents but not sure. I am happy the way it is all coming together so far. The rear camera cable is thick but I was able to push it into the edge of my liner. I also used rubber seals to hide it. With a little sweat it all disappeared. I will make my taps for the hard wire kit. I have to go back into Tacoma World forum and see what fuses they used. I bought those add a fuse devices. If the good lord gives me a healthy day I will take care of this tomorrow. I cut out a big slot in my sun screen as you see in the pictures@Airborne have you installed the camera?Pictures I'm curious how it looks on the sensor box in your car

I will try this, but for now while I have my truck parked at home I just have the camera off. Maybe a bear would try to climb on top of it, but living in the boonies has benefits.Or use the other side that's not so reflective
