FitCamX RAV4 Dashcam Installation & Review
In this video we install & review the FitCamX RAV4 dashcam.
This dashcam looks like it is built in from the factory, and doesn't result in any messy wiring after installation, as it connects to the power available inside the rearview mirror.
Overall, we are really happy with this dashcam, and would highly recommend it!

Great video, and really good camera angles. Always appreciated when you can clearly see what’s being done.

Thanks so much! Did my best to show how an inexperienced person can do this install pretty easily.
I appreciate you showing the parts that you had to redo/adjust like the twist tie and the lens cover. I probably would have made those mistakes too so you saved me some time.

Thanks for the comment! Yea I did run into a few small issues with the install since I have never installed a dashcam before, so I wanted to show what I encountered
Missed your RAV4 vids!!! Please go camping soon!!

We are editing a camping video right now actually! Should have a 2 part video posted soon :)
any updates or noticeable glitches since your install? i have a 2023 rav4 prime xse and i'm considering this and the OEM version which costs about $125 more. this is more slightly integrated than the OEM which would be installed to the side rather than centered.

Not really. Since the install it has just been constantly recording with nothing needed from me. I like that I don't have to think about it, plug it in, or see it in any way. Its just seamless. Only thing I will note is while there is an app, I find myself just pulling the SD card and connecting directly to my PC when I need to grab footage (which is almost never). Overall very happy with it!
great video! I had a Kenwood in my older Rav and it was not user friendly at all. Do you have to always be connected to its WiFi, or only when you want to view videos?

You only need to connect to its wifi to connect via the app to view videos. Normally I just pull the SD card if I want footage, which is very rarely
Hi, thanks for your tutorial. Question: Would this work on the XLE trim? This trim doesn't have a digital mirror.

Can you recommend some places around the Bay Area that I can take my RAV4 TRD to??
@LunarLanderXplor

yea! Almost all of our youtube videos are places we drive to from the Bay Area (excluding our content from Colorado & Utah). Check out our other videos for some inspiration, but in general the best spots are the National Forests. Tahoe NF, Mendocino NF, Stanislaus NF, El Dorado NF, etc. So much to explore, but generally you do have to drive about 3hrs from the Bay.
Will this mess up with Toyota warranty or Toyota Safety sense? I have a 2023 Rav4, they couldn’t install the OEM Toyota Integrated camera.

No issues with safety sense. Not sure about the warranty.
Does the camera connect to the digital rear mirror plug or does it connect into the security system camera plug?

Hi Few questions pls 1) How's the dashcam holding up? 2) How fast is downloading of footage from the app 3) On a scale of 1-10, how much can it read a licence plate Thanks as I anticipate your detailed response
@LunarLanderXplor
Ай бұрын
The dashcam is holding up great. To download videos I just pull the SD card and download to my computer, I don't need the footage often. It can read license plates well during the day, ok at night, 6/10.
Do you know what the buttons do on the device? I can’t figure it out from the manual

Not sure actually! We've never messed with the camera since we set it up. It just auto-records & we pull video from the SD card if needed.

Hey thanks for watching! Unfortunately we do not have the rear camera so I cannot do the install video for that one. You should be able to find it on their website! The link to the front camera is in the video description.

Too bad there's no rearwindow cam like the the nextbase cams. It would be also nice to be able to actually see license plate info at night but I don't think the resolution is enough.

The camera records automatically when you start the car. If you need to pull footage, there is an SD card you can remove, or you can use their app.

@@LunarLanderXplor Thanks....just a follow up. Wondering if it deletes old recordings daily... If I have the app downloaded....lets say Im driving after 1 week with the camera and I want to check recent footage, would I need to go the sd card for that or would the app have that footage even if the phone was off for example?
So is there an option for rear camera to go with the front camera? I have a 2020 RAV4 Premium.

No it does not have a battery to remain on while the car is turned off
While the look is clean I have 3 issues with this. 1) The lens is not adjustable. There should be some ability to as I believe there is too much of the hood being show on the MDX version 2) No sound to identify that the unit has powered on. I believe some of the earlier models had issues just dying after a month of use which was resolved. If this stops working you might not notice that small dim LED which shows if it is on. Even then you have no idea if it is working 3) With no voice you won't know if there is an issues with the microSD card With these issues IMO I would say to get a Viofo over this. Yes it might not look as hidden but I prefer functionality and knowing my device works or has some sort of issues instead of coming into a situation of an accident and then not having the video which I would need.

Valid points! Regardless, we have had a great experience with this dash cam and it has been reliable in our testing. No issues since installing it in our RAV4.
The camera turns on automatically when I start the car. What if I don't want it to ??

Not sure if that can be disabled. Really, its a good thing to have it start automatically so it is always recording in case something happens. Why would you not want it turned on?

You did such a terrible job pulling the trim, instead you should slide down it. At least this helped me for not running into that mistake. Otherwise video was ok.
