I just bought a dash Cam Mini 2 and found out that motion detection has been removed and now only has incident detection my question for you is does the dashcam tandem still have motion detection or only incident detection aswell
Hello, The tandem does record incident detection as well as record motion detection with the vehicle off via a parking mode cable. Which btw has saved a couple of my buddies from hit and runs.
Love the content my man. Just one thing. You didn’t show where you attached the ground cable. Pretty important detail, and you can pretty much attach it to any bolt around there
I was wondering the same thing, but I figured it out because I just installed it myself today. At the end of your fuse box, there is a screw that holds the fuse box in place. I used that screw as the ground. Just pulled it out, slid the ground in, put the screw back in and that was it. (I have a 4Runner)
@@ChristianMcLeodphoto Someone in the comments asks if you get alerts and he responded with yes. Do you get alerts when it’s parked to your phone? If so, how?
Did the install step by step according to your instruction and the dash cam won’t stay on during park mode. Did the instal on the app but to no avail. Any advice?
Give the shop a call during business hours and we'll help you out. Take a look at the diagram on the product page and make sure there's 2 fuses on each add a fuse
@@Runnin4Tacos Just a note that the Garmin GoPro Mount is NOT compatible with the Garmin Dashcam Mini (1 or 2). Though the mounting ball will fit, because the mount point is located on the face of the Dashcam Mini, the orientation of the camera will not allow it to face forward as it should. May want to update this info on the website? Thank you for taking care of my purchase return regardless! You guys are awesome!
Do you have tinted windows ? I want to buy this and my side and back windows are all tinted so I’m wondering if at night it will be to dark to see outside from rear cam ? I noticed in parking mode you can’t see anything outside you’re truck from rear cam so I’m guessing it’s night outside ?
My camera stays on and recording the whole time after this install? Do you guys have any tips on how to get it to only record when the motion sensor triggers it?
@@Runnin4Tacos if there was a way to have someone switch out the arm with the auto feature on it and have it work. I think people would buy it up. It would be nice to have the dash dim with it to and not worry about running the headlights all day. I know the trd pros came with auto lights and the limited. Its petty but I know a bunch of people on the forums haven't figured it out and would like to switch there's out to auto!
Anyone on this thread experience their tandem getting very HOT? If so, what is the solution? I know it came with its own memory card and I have not upgraded it yet. I read on another video that that might help. Thoughts?
he probably just got his windshield tinted. Mine is 45% tinted and really love it. I got the truck for 8 months and only got 1 ticket so far but worth every penny
Only problem I see with mounting the tandem where the GoPro mount is, is that the interior camera doesn’t see the drivers seat. If someone steels your truck or takes it for a joy ride while it’s at a shop or something, their going to be in the drivers seat. With out that image you have no evidence.
Question about when installing the constant 12 volt power of the parking mode cable to the fuse block as demonstrated: If parking mode runs long enough to potentially drain the battery, does the vehicle's power cutoff mode come into play? The reason I ask is because I've noticed now on several occasions, sometimes the camera will not power back on after the parking mode time has elapsed. For example, I have my dashcam mini 2 set to 8 hours of parking mode time. If I start the vehicle within 8 hours, it wakes from parking mode no problem. After 8 hours, sometimes it will wake, other times it will not. I have to unplug the camera for a few minutes to power cycle it, plug it back in, and then it will work again. Anyone have advice for this issue? I know the original Garmin Dashcam Mini has parking mode issues but no one else seems to have that issue with the 2.
People want dashcams that record clear license plates, no fake 4K and BS 1080p crap. Not to mention people want equal HIGH resolutions between camera channels NOT sacrifice one resolution for the other. Seriously, who would want a tiny or any camera with shit resolution out of any lens...
Take down and Edit this video dude I think I just located your residence. Not going to publicize it because I respect you and your content but there are shady ppl out there.
@@Runnin4Tacos really appreciate the video. I ended up getting a tandem and the parking mode kit. I need to confirm is that are you able to connect to your dash cam when it’s on parking mode? I am not able to. Just want to make sure that’s normal. Other than that it does record when the truck is off.
@@gotshopow3 Same. The original question says, “Does the Tandem notify your phone when there is movement.” He responds with, “Yes.” I would love for someone to explain this because I’m not getting alerts.
@@spalacios9058 I get notified of movement when I start my car and check my app. But other than that, no notification when the truck is parked. Hopefully I’m not missing something lol.
The wife was just talking about how we need one of these for our 4runner...trip on that. Will definitely be checking this out.
I feel like it’s a lot easier to do what Chloe Kuo did. She pretty much just got an adaptor to wire the dash cam to the mirror power.
I did exactly what she did and it works great. Completely forget its even there.
But does the dashcam still works when the ignition is off?
@@jamessiron1769 I believe so. I think since the homelink controls get power, the dash can should too
@@glucatero4513 do you happen to know if it gets constant power for something like parking mode?
@@jamessiron1769 nop parking mode wont work with the mirror plug. it needs to be hot wired like R4T.
Does the prking mode have a low battery voltage cutoff? Will it automatically shutdown the camera to avoid draining the truck’s battery? Thanks
I have the same question.
a walkthrough on how to run the cable down the passenger side would be great! is there any way to tap power on the right side of the truck???
You had me at "little ball hole"
As always great vids guy's!
Keep up the great work. your website is great and a speedy delivery for me located in 🇨🇦. Amazing experience. I'll buy again.

Ever find the size
@@trevorschroeder6745 tacoma uses low profile fuses, id assume 4runner is no different
How often will you have to delete footage on the Garmin? I feel like it would use up storage very fast.
2019 (and I believe newer Tacomas) don't have the GoPro mount. Does the bracket keep the same angle if we just use a standard adhesive GoPro base?
I was wondering the same thing! I don't have the GoPro mount on my windshield either!
@@vicmedic24 Same. 😂 Thought I was tripping because I’ve never noticed my GoPro mount but it turns out I don’t have one since I have a ‘19.

Ya looks like Toyotas and gopros contract ended in that year lol
Anyone know if we can get the mount aftermarket?
Thanks for the video!
Anyone know how and where I can buy GoPro Garmin mount? Can I have website link? Thanks in advance . I Love this video and its very helpful .
I saw 15amp fuse from the fuse box but your fuse to go to the dash cam is a diff color?. What amp should they be?. TIA
We have a photo on the product page to show which fuse to go to
So then the fuse u add should be 20 if the trucks is 15 right?
any update on a restock for the parking cable on your website?

No need to hardwire, just buy a obd2 cable to the dashcam and its basically plug and play, thinkware dashcam has that with voltage monitor
Where in the tacoma is this obd connection?
