Reply to comment by cbabbx in Dashcam install to Subaru Legacy with hidden wires by Rick91981

Interesting - That looks an ideal dashcam. I currently use an Aukey DR02 but that Toyota integrated one looks great - no superfluous screen, nice big buttons, wifi integrated...

Can you get these/an alternative without owning a Toyota?

Must own a Toyota. The connection for the camera to be powered on already exists on the models listed. It can come pre-installed from the factory or can be added after purchase through the service department. It's not a standard connector (like USB). Every automaker uses their own types of connectors for various components.

Dang. I’m assuming then it’ll be using canbus for the ignition on/off signal. If it was a standard 12v/ign/gnd you could make your own loom to go in other cars.
