Toyota sells an OEM camera that goes to the left of the big radar box behind the mirror. They don't have a rear camera in the US, the OEM is expensive and not the highest quality, and the app is klunky. I had THINKWARE U3000 Pro front and rear installed in CSL. These have excellent quality and are the best parking mode for recording someone hitting your car without draining the battery. Viofo A329 is a very highly rated option.
Blackvue hardwired front and rear was $800 total installed by pro audio shop + $140 for a Blendmount. Best $940 I’ve ever spent.
The brand I recommend is thinkware, and they have a pretty handy OBDII plug option which makes the wiring portion of it friendly. Including for parking mode. The U3000 is a great unit.
Purchased a Thinkware 3000Pro and having it installed tomorrow on my new A5. I used to own the Thinkware F770 (front and rear) on my A6 and loved it.
I am running the BlackVue and so far I am happy with my purchase.
Blackvue will also be grand, and fits a bit better in my ND with it tucked behind the rearview mirror so I dont take up any valuable windshield space.
I have a Blackvue front/rear. Solid units and they stand up to the nasty summer heat here.
I use the Thinkware Q200. Performance is good and you can power it from the Homelink Rearview Mirror with an adapter from MX5Things.
I just bought a new Rav 4 and paid $4500 for the protection package, tinting and dash cam. The BlackVue 800 Gold, front and rear cameras, fitted by Pacific Toyota in Cairns was $1500.
Blackvue 900, 2 channel; also had one in my 996 that was totaled when it was rear-ended by a perpetrator who was running from police. When I retrieved the mini SD to pull the video I discovered that the rear channel had failed some time previously.
