Thanks for the video. Made installation much easier knowing what to expect going in. Would never have been able to get the oem cover off with out breaking it without this video. Excellent!
Thanks for the positive feedback!
I bought this too. It was crazy easy to install compared to what I had previously planned with a garmin. What a great idea to create something so simple. I hope it stands the test of time.
Thanks for the video. I just installed the FitCamX on my 2020 Highlander Limited. Routing the wires was not a problem. I had much more room in the compartment above the mirror than you seemed to have had with your Platinum. I am planning to install another FitCamX on my 2018 Avalon Limited. Many Thanks!
Your video is terrific. It took me about two hours to get everything in the right place to secure the camera and get all the wiring out of the way due to the digital mirror and everything else up in behind the mirror. Thanks for taking the time.
Thanks Bob, I share your pain with the digital mirror experience! Made it much more rewarding in the end didn't it?! 😉
Excellent job making this video. I like the way you take the time to show how to overcome the difficult parts. This will make it much easier for us. Thanks for doing this tutorial.
Thanks, I hope your install is a breeze!
Just wanted to let you know with your helpful video I installed my unit in 30 minutes and could not have done it without your assistance thank you so very much and God bless keep up the good work
Nice, thats music to my ears! Glad it helped you out!
Great complete installation video…..perfect!
I did it! Thanks for this video! Installation barely took me 10 minutes.
Dang, 10 minutes?!? That's a new record time and glad that video helped!
Thanks for the video! Your channel is either a blessing or a curse for me spending more money! Installed it last night on my 21 platinum gas & the tuck in wiring harness tips helped a lot! Liking the app so far too. Are you thinking about getting a rear camera as well!
Thanks for the support and glad the video helped you! I ask myself that same question every time I buy something new for my car! lol I do plan to get a separate rear dash cam and currently researching which one will best fit my needs. So far, I'm really liking the Rove R2 due to it features and different mounting kits. Hopefully I can find one that plugs into the outlet in the back for a simple and clean look.
I just bought a 2023 Highlander Platinum and you saved me a ton of installation time! I had it installed in 15 minutes. I bought the Mini SD card you recommended too..If I take the Card out of the Camera and install it in my Adapter to plug into my IPhone/IPad , I can watch the Videos without any interruptions.. if I leave the card in the Camera & watch the recorded videos on my IPhone via WiFi Connection with the car on, the Video will play for a few seconds, stop, then start and stop, and play some more etc. Other than that, it’s crystal clear & easy to use. Maybe I’ll check with Fitcamx about the Video playback issue. Anybody else have this issue or do I have to wait a day or two for these videos to download or whatever? I’m mid 70’s so this high tech stuff blows me away😁
Thanks for making a very helpful Video!
I just got my fitcam, installed it in a 2021 RAV4 hybrid, and my first take is good. Thanks for the convincing me to go with this dash cam!!!
@Chad Huntley Nice, I'm glad the video helped!
I just bought it too. I bought a garmin mini to compare and see which I like best. I love how oem these look though. You still like yours?
@@pobster88j94 It's still running strong! A good dash cam is one that I forgot is there since it's never in my line of sight. I do glance behind my rear view mirror once and a while to make sure that the blue light is still blinking. Very happy with the purchase!
@@pobster88j94 I'm also still happy with mine. Checked the quality in the beginning and I was satisfied with it. After quality, the next best attribute is how hidden/integrated it is. Forget it's even there with no visible cabling.
Thank you for the video. Installed on 2021 Venza XLE hybrid.
Thanks so much for your video it really helped me to install the FitcamX easier. Made up for their lack of instructions!
I'm glad to hear it sped up the install for you!
I want to Thank You for this Instructional, it helped me tremendously on my install of our FiTCAMX 4K Front CAM & 1080p Rear CAM (Gen3) for our 2019 Highlander Limited Platinum. As you mentioned in your video there was very little room for the Limited/Platinum models to work with and how you tucked the power cable/plugs was the key to complete my install, thank you.
My plan is to mount the Rear CAM on the popoff cover above the rearview mirror to get Cabin footage and some Rear and Side footage, I just hope the weight of the CAM does not popoff the cover. I have the CAM already in place temporally and the footage looks great. For those wanting to do the same, the Rear CAM comes with about a foot of cable of which I was able to tuck in on the left driver side of the CAM housing.
One suggestion, your video is a bit dark, as others have suggested, a still picture of how you tucked your cable would of been helpful. Not a big deal I just had to watch your video a few times to finally get how you routed the cable/plug. Thanks Again, Great Help Video...
Thanks for the support and feedback! You should join our Facebook page as I've posted pictures for members who have asked similar questions. If hindsight was 20/20, there would be many things I wish I could go back and reshoot or edit in my videos, just don't have the bandwidth as a busy father and working professional, ya know? 😉
We installed on both our 2021 Highlander (weeks ago) and 2018 Prius Prime (install in progress on the Prius). My wife eventually got the housing off on the Highlander. The way I ended up doing it on the Prius was to remove the rear view mirror, which is just attached to a mounting tab (I saw this on Priuschat), so you can just pull back on the stem of the mirror, and it should come off the tab; then getting the housing off was easy. I don’t remember what the scene was with the Highlander’s mirror mount.
Thanks for your video - it’s helped us a lot!
Glad i came across your video! Had to return the nexus that i bought since running wires is a nightmare!
I like the path of least resistance too. 😉
good job man am impressed
Excellent install and instruction.
Thanks for the timely video. Going to install in my ‘22 Highlander Platinum Hybrid. Doesn’t have digital rear mirror camera due to electronic chip shortages (3/22 factory build). Expect easy install after viewing your great video!
Much appreciated! If no digital mirror then routing the wires will be a breeze for you!
Questions Questions, Thank you for this Amazing Video, Very Detailed, Will seriously help me my upcoming installation.
Question . Will this prevent late assistance, or mess with any factor function that the car came with ?
I have a Platinum trim with all the sensors and features and have never had an issue with lane assist, adaptive cruise control or any proximity sensors. The dash cam is located behind the windshield and below the sensors up top so it won't interfere with the factory sensors.
With your help at 21:11 I was finally able to close it back up. Thanks a lot!
Awesome to hear! My pain is your gain! lol
I installed it on my 2022 HL limited. My HL had enough space for wires so the installation was pretty straightforward. It took less than 15 minutes after watching your video.
Glad it helped!
Thanks for this channel and for all your work.
Looking forward to the teyes video if you considered getting the cc3.
Thanks, it may be a while on the CC3. I've looked into it and contacted the developers about its compatibility retaining my stock digital Toyota features and they were hush on wanting to tell me any details out of fear that their competitors would try to take their ideas. I'll continue to research and wait for any new updates but I'm happy with my Ottocast box for now.
Thank you for the video. The 2019 XLE had the same harness challenge. Your video was more helpful than FixcamX’s. They made it seem so easy but I don’t think they did it on a Highlander.
@bishopd I hear ya! The video made it seem like a breeze and it ended up taking me 2hrs...😕 I think their video was installed in a Camry or Corolla. Thanks for the support!
Hey Vietbubbletea! I like the videos you are doing on your THL mods. I am thinking of doing it also for my 2021 THL XSE. 👍👍👍👍
I appreciate the support!
Thank you for your video. I am planning to get this for my Highlander but i wanted to know how is this cam holding up since you have installed it. Any issues or tips.
It works great with no issues since I've installed it. If you don't have a digital rear view mirror then installation will be a breeze. They now have a newer 4K front/1080P rear camera setup as well.
Thanks to your video it took me 15-20 minutes
Now thats time well spent! Nice job!
Thanks for the great video! Is this dashcam still working well for you? Have you had any issues with the app? I also have a digital rearview mirror on my highlander - does your digital mirror still work as it should with the dashcam there?
Thanks! The dashcam is still operating flawlessly with no issues viewing or downloading files to my Android phone. The digital rear view mirror is also unaffected with all it's features operating as normal. I'm very happy with the purchase and recommend it. If you're looking for a front/rear camera setup, FitcamX now has a 4K/1080P setup too.
Great video!
Waiting on mine too 😊
Hi I just order the dash cam from amazon I let you know how the install goes I will the cd card you recommend ths Keith from canada
I installed one in my Audi last year and it was a bit of a pain getting the wires tucked in. Your advice to run the camera cable behind the other two connectors made the install on my Highlander platinum take 10 minutes. Thanks!
Awesome, I'm happy to hear the video helped saved you time on your install!
Thanks for the video! Good to hear your review. Are you still just as happy with it or have you had any issues since making this video?
Thanks! It's been 8 months later and still running strong with no issues.
Sweet. Good to know!
I just installed mine on a 22 xle , I confirm you don't have to cut out the other cover 👍
Thanks for confirming for everyone!
I am planning to install this camera on 2022 Sienna and would like to know if you had to take any precautions related to battery stuff since its hybrid.
No extra precautions, just plug and play as the power source is not constant and only turns on when you start the car. If you wanted to have it always on in parking mode, you can request the appropriate wiring harness that connects to the fuse box from the seller or you can buy an ODB2 port plug that as a built in fuse that disconnects the power if the battery goes below a certain amp. Good luck!
@@vietbubbletea Thanks, this gives me confidence to install myself. Ordered one .
I just want to thank you for your excellent videos, been following you for awhile and have done some of the installations in my Platinum Hybrid as well. I noticed you installed the adapter on the left side connector, was that recommended by the cam manufacturer?, I ask because I installed mine (Garmin mini 2) on the right side, there are 2 connectors, I used the one on outermost right. Also, I would like to know if you have any idea as to how to remove the side panels of the center console, appreciate your reply and thanks for your comments or anyone that would like to help.
Hi Francisco, thanks for the support! I followed the companys video tutorial to use the adapter on the left side so I didn't consider checking out the right side. From what I can remember, the two on the right side looks thinner than the 12 pin harness that came with the Fitcamx kit, do you recall how many pins were on the right?
As for removing the side panels on the center console, removing the top center trim with cup holders is easy as it's all held in by clips but I haven't looked into how to remove the sides. I do recall that the side pieces are also held in by clips to the main center console and can be accessed with a pry tool.
What were you thinking of modding? A great place that I've got a lot of info and feedback is in the Toyotanation forums. I'm sure you can do a search or ask the community there and get some answers. I hope that helps!
@@vietbubbletea thanks for your prompt reply. The right side has 10 pins and I ordered an adapter from Amazon ( made by Dongar technologies ), I saw it a video installation on that side, your's is better, there seems to be a little more room. Regarding the console, I want to install an OFFROADTOWN 6 gang switch to add accessories, and want to put the sPOD in the storage place right next to the USB's in the center console, planning to get the wires from the back by drilling a hole in the plastic piece. Appreciate your comments on this and I am going to try pulling the part with the cup holders as you suggested. Thanks again!
@@franciscobrenes3340 Sounds like a cool project! Do you have an idea what you want to wire for those 6 accessory slots yet? I only plan to install a 30 inch light bar behind the front grill for off road use. I just need to find a square aftermarket toggle button to plug next to a vacant spot on the center console.
Regarding how easy it is to remove the cup holder, here's a video showing you how:
th-cam.com/video/uNdBXLacwOE/w-d-xo.html
@@vietbubbletea thank you sir, for that input, I will certainly try it to see if I can pull the wire harness from the sPOD through the back of the console. I'm planning on adding flashers to the front grill, a GMRS radio, a traffic advisor bar in the rear window, and a LED strip under the vehicle that goes in the front, the sides and the rear. I found a video for a 4 Runner, an aftermarket switch link is within hope that helps, again thanks for the help. The video will follow.

This is a switch for the Highlander according to Amazon, apologize for the video I couldn't get the link copied, I am not an expert on this things. The video mentioned that a relay is needed, the Nilit wiring harness for light bar comes up from the link on the video to Amazon website. Hope this helps you, and thanks again for your help!
Hello,
Do you have to pay for the app? Also how does the camera send the video feed to the app is it bluetooth or do you have to have wifi/data for it to work?😊
Thanks
The app is free with no subscriptions. Video files can be sent wirelessly to your phone via wifi or by plugging the SD card into a card reader.
@vietbubbletea I have a 2023 Camry XSE and I was wondering if you have an pictures of the way you ran the wiring? I cannot get that harness to fit in the cover for anything.
I don't have any pictures but if you fast forward to the 20:50 mark in my video, I ran the wiring harness as close to the windshield glass as possible by tucking it behind the OEM wires to clear enough space to put the cover back on.
hello Tom please I would like to know how the Fitcamx Camera works if the video and photo are clear the quality thanks and greetings
Hi Starlin, the video and pictures are very clear as you can see near the end of my video. It can be viewed by wirelessly through the app or using the SD card on your computer.
Does this camera get hot? The Amazon description mentions heat is normal. Just wondering how hot it actually gets? Like warm or like hot. Don't want to fry the factory wiring harness.
considering the wiring is basically in constant direct sunlight, i imagine it wont get hot enough to do damage to anything factory. if it does get too hot it should have a safety shutoff that would stop recording
How much? How do you install it? Is this oem
Hi
Pls I have some questions as regards this dashcam
1) How's the dashcam holding
2) How fast can one download the video clip, a friend told me it take a hell of time to download
3) How good is the footage quality
Thank you
1) The dashcam still works since the day I've installed it more than 2.5 years ago
2) I set the recording in 3 minute intervals which creates a 518mb per video file, this takes about under 3 minutes to download via wifi to my phone. I normally take the SD card out and use a card reader to download the files I need faster to my laptop.
3) Watch the end of my video for actual dashcam footage. The actual 4K footage is very clear and you can easily zoom into license plates and the sun doesn't blow out the image. I'm happy with my purchase. I hope this helps!
Good thorough video and review of the camera. I'm thinking of getting one for a 2021 RAV4 hybrid. I like the idea that this gets power through the existing mirror wiring for ease of installation with a clean look. However, I don't want that to be the only reason I buy this camera since the camera is the bigger factor. I see Amazon sells a simple USBport mirror to dash cam power adapter for Toyota. Decisions decisions.
Hi Chad, decisions indeed! Do you have an existing dash cam that you plan to connect through a USB port dongle? I've heard great things about Dongars 12 PIN mirror to dash cam piggyback, not sure if the 21 RAV4s used the same 12-PIN adapter as the 21 Highlanders or if they use a 10-PIN adapter design. Once that is confirmed then you should be golden.
Besides the harness, I really like the clean look of the Fitcamx with nothing to suction to the windshield, the user friendly app and wireless access to the dash cam footage. I hope you find a setup that works for you!
@@vietbubbletea I've got two Yi dash cams, one in a 2009 RAV4 and one in a 2004 Silverado with just a cord hanging down to the cigarette lighter power. My wife and I didn't want to clutter the new look of the 2021 RAV4, but after seeing this, and also considering tapping into power back there, I'm gonna get a dash cam. I'm gonna explore options a bit more tomorrow and take the plastic cover off to inspect. I'm thinking of either this Fitcam or a Garmin mini 2 due to its size. They are all pretty good. I only intend to use it for accidents or close calls which so far have been only a couple close calls. You satisfied with the Fitcam video quality? If so, I'll probably go with it.
@@chadhuntley3451 I'm very happy with the 4K video quality in day and night time. The uploaded TH-cam video processed doesn't show the full clarity of the image quality however when you watch it on your computer and zoom in on frozen frames, you'll know what I mean!
I wanted to pass on how helpful your video was for installation. The hardest part of the installation is removing the cover and putting it back on. I had great difficulty reinstalling the cover. One big thing I suggest you add is "Do Not Force the Cover on" and "slide the cover under the clips, DO NOT push down hard as you will break the clips that hold it in place. I followed your instructions, which were excellent and I got the entire unit hooked up. I then tried to put the cover back on and had great difficulty. I tried "stuffing" the insides as you showed but did not notice about the positioning you showed. The first time I tried to install the cover, I broke a clip as I forced the cover because I did not remember the entire way to get the wires in place. I had to go to FitCamX to get a replacement. Once I got the replacement, I went through your video again and found how to tuck the wires. If you remake the video, can I suggest you emphasize not to force the cover back on as the clips can break. I also suggest you highlight the positioning of the wires and have a longer still of the shot you took, while mentioning there is a small empty space in that position so it can fit better. Finally, I got it all together and forgot to hide the power connection cord and had to redo installation of cover for this. FitcamX was terrific in customer service, but they do not have a phone and you need to use their chat function. They were nice enough to replace the cover, but I had to pay to ship it to them and for return shipping. Again, thanks for the video.
Thanks for the feedback, theres definitely some steps I would have loved to document better if I knew of some of the other challenges beforehand. Figuring out how to cram the wires was definitely the most frustrating part and took me over an hour! lol I did take pictures of my wiring that I can post in our Facebook modders page or upon request if people ask me directly. Take care!
Hi
You did not leave a link to where you can purchase the product.

I just buy it today. I install everything. I can record videos and capture the photos but why I can’t view the preview live screen? All I see is black screen and loading only. Can someone help me? Thanks
Thanks a lot for the video... That cable is unnecessarily long... looks like tucking in that cable will be the only challenge of the install.
Yup, it was tricky finding a way to route the wires around all the electronic modules so hopefully my video will give you an idea how do it in less time.
your camera still working fine? any problem or error with Lane tracing camera?
The camera still works fine and no issues with the car sensors, I still highly recommend it!
I think this video convinced me to dump my Garmin dash cams. The video quality is subpar and I've had two of their high-end Tandem dash cams fail on me within a year. The quality of the Fitcam looks phenomenal, even with the "choppiness".
I just wish FitcamX would include an interior + rear facing cam and have them sync up like Garmin can do with multiple cams.
For some reason, I noticed the chopiness during editing but it went away after the video was fully processed. I'm very happy with it.
An in-cabin recording feature would definitely be a great option to have as well!
Hi I installed my my Camera but on the app it’s black screen but it is recording just can’t watch live… any tips please..
it actually worked one time I seen it live and it never opened again..?
Did you reformat the SD card before using it? Are you using the Fitcamx app or 3rd party app? Are you using apple or Android phone? Did the troubleshooting guide help? I never has a black screen so it's hard to help without seeing. I do know that you can contact the company through the app for troubleshooting help too.
Can this kit be mounted in a 2017 Rav 4 Limited?
@ Steph Harvey Unfortunately I don't see a kit that would fit your model year. They have it available for Rav4 2019-2022 though.
Money 💰 well spent. Know I want one just for peace of mind
Great video! Can you please tell me what cell phone holder you have? Thanks!
@A Dance Thanks! The cell phone holder in the video are pieces taken from two different products. It was a Miracase cup holder mounted to an Andobil phone grip. I've since switched to another setup that sits higher on the dash that I prefer now. Here's a video review you can check out with product links in the description!

@@vietbubbletea thanks so much!
Any missing recorded frames between from one saved file to the next file.

Do you have a video installing the rear camera?
I haven't installed a rear camera yet but maybe soon!
@@vietbubbletea 👍😊
Hi, a question regarding the Wi-Fi When you driving the car, does the Wi-Fi have to be open or closed? With me, if it's open, I don't get any notifications on my phone until I turn off the car, then all the messages from all kinds of sources come in, if I turn off the Wi-Fi, the camera doesn't record anything, I'd appreciate it if you could advise me what to do about it
Thanx Zvika
When I'm driving and the camera is recording in a continuous loop, it's never on Wi-Fi. I only connect the Wi-Fi when I need to download a video to the phone wirelessly through the app.
@@vietbubbletea Hi, I understand, but in this case what is happening is that I do not receive any notification on the mobile phone such as SMS, WhatsApp, does this also happen to you or are you aware of it? Thank you
When you turn off the car then restart it. Do you have to manually power the camera again?
@Eligha Terrell Nope, the camera will automatically turn on and record when the car is turned on then turn off when the ignition is off. There's a parking mode available if you want the camera turned on 24/7 but you'd have to request the fuse box kit from the seller before shipping. Hope that helps!
@@vietbubbletea yes dead on. Thanks.
Hi, How do you like the FITCAX camera? Did you get to install the rear one from them?
It's been working great. I didn't install a rear cam since their front/rear combo only offered 2K resolution for the front cam at that time. Fitcamx now has a 4K front/1080P rear combo available.
Yeah that’s the one I just ordered. 4k with the back camera. I have the Toyota integrated in now but wanna change it cause their app to connect to it takes awhile to figure out to view it through the app. It’s a pain too connect with
Does the Fitcamx get hot? I heard a few say it gets hot. If so is it just a warm temp
I’m also gonna fish it through the rear door grommet. That way it’s not ran like most I’ve seen route it. That way it’s more hidden than how some have it just ran like with 6-8” out so it wouldn’t bind when u open the rear
@@franklandice Yes, it can get hot but only were the SD card slot is but thats common for many high resolution dash cams due to the constant 4K write speed. The camera shell itself doesn't feel hot so that's important to differentiate. Just use a high endurance SD card that can handle temps up to 185° F and you'll be fine.
Did anyone get the parking mode wiring to use power not from the ignition?
You can request the vendor to send you the wiring kit that connects to the fuse box to a constant power source to enable parking mode.
You think Toyota will give you any issues when you need to recalibrate the safety sense systems?
When replacing my windshield it was $1000 because they also had calibrate my sensors
That's always a possibility however unlikely since the windshield sensors remains unmoved as it's glued to the glass. All you're doing is drawing power from the source from the back and all my parking sensors, dynamic cruise control and LDA works.
When replacing a windshield, calibration is always required so the sensors can be reconfigured after it has been glued onto the new windshield which most likely will be slightly off. Here's a great video of how the ADAS system is recalibrated on our Highlanders.

@@vietbubbletea Got it. Thanks for the info.
Question about your HiHy, do you have an issue only being able to pump 12-13 gallons of fuel once your fuel light is on?
Yup, I was curious about the tank gas capacity myself since I've heard there's a class action lawsuit against Toyota from many owners not being able to fill up to 17 gallons. The last time I waited for my gas light to turn on, I was only able to pump in 14.1 gallons as I've also heard there's about 2-3 gallons left over as reserve. For sure, I have never gotten close to the 570 mile per tank range yet, its been more like 420 mile in my experience.
@@vietbubbletea I have been disputing it with the dealer and Toyota for a while now. I just hit 30k on my Highlander and have had the fuel issue since I bought it.
Toyota USA notified me that the low fuel reserve is 2.7 gallons once the light comes on and 3 gallons unusable fuel (separate from the 17.1 gallons) to keep the fuel pump from overheating. When my fuel light comes on I can get around 12.5-13 gallons max. Today I let my fuel range get to zero and drove another 30 miles. I had to force it to hit 15 gallons. I purchased my Highlander for road trips and the main reason was for the fuel range.
Dealer said there is no TSA from Toyota so there is nothing they can do.
@@farmerscoffee I feel ya since a lot of us are in the same boat. I've read that Toyota previously is asking a judge in California to throw out a similar class action lawsuit for the RAV4 so we'll see how that will affect the Highlander lawsuit and Toyotas next move. I'm just hoping for some amicable resolution for us owners since driving range was a big selling point for me to get the Hybrid. Aside from that, it's been a great driving experience.
How do I find the correct app for android phone? Link?
Just do a search for FITCAMX in the Play store and it should be the only app with a blue X icon. The developer name is Viidure, I hope that helps!
hows this holding up nuoc mam? thinking about getting this for my wife
Alot better than my Sriracha stash... 🤣 I've had no issues with it since installation running through my Android device.
This for highlander xse ?
Yes, the product listing states its compatible for XSE trims too.
Is it possible to buy a link?
Link is updated in description!
What the part number for the dash cam
The box is labeled model HD2
👍👍😊
I got a one from amazon did every thing according to manual nothing works I think I got a bad one
Does it draw power or are you having issues connecting it to your phone? Amazon will take care of you if you received a defective unit. Sucks to hear...
After a year of owning this product. Would you still recommend?
Hi Joshua, I've never had an issue with it since installing as it still records and the app works great on my old Samsung S8 Android phone. To be honest, I forgot that it's there and recently tested the wireless download to my phone just to confirm that all is still good. I would recommend it!
@@vietbubbletea thanks for the reply. Im definitely about to get this for my highlander! Anything you wish they had on this? I know some people wish it showed the speed.
@@Yakamichi2 A speedometer would be nice but at the price point, I'm pretty happy with it. I think it's only $135 for Cyber Monday today!

For some reason I can't adjust my loop, only show 1min on my application.. any idea why?
I havent had any issues with the app settings since I've installed it. I'm assuming you downloaded the official Fitcamx app then reformatted the micro SD card before adjusting the settings. There's a troubleshooting guide in the instructions and direct customer service support that may help you out too. Another thing to try is using a card no higher than 64GB see if that helps.
@@vietbubbletea yes I have the official app, reformatted the SD card. ( using the SD card provided) everything work fine its just won't let me put anything over 1m. ( it's the only number showing)
@@PrimeGameZone Hmm... if you don't see the 5 interval loop options then it sounds like an issue with the app. I'm using an Android device currently using Fitcamx software app ver. 1.0.11.211031. Are you using Apple?
Mine has 1,3,5, and 10 min options.
@@pobster88j94 I had to message them and they send me an update. Still only to 3 minutes. When I ask that some people have higher loop times ,they said that they might do another update later .
Question, and i’m scared i might break the dash… how do you take out the sd card?… do you just pull it out?… i think there’s a free sd card came with it.
Not sure if you received a response. You have to push it in then it pops out enough for you to pull it out.
Is the fitcam still going good?
Functioning great since the day I installed it!
@@vietbubbletea ok, just wonder about quality and reliability before I order thanks
I can not download the app. It tells me not for my location. Please help if all possible.
I have an Android phone so I found the FITCAMX app in the Play store to download.
@@vietbubbletea thank you for your reply
@@vietbubbletea I was able to get it to work. The app for the iPhone is Viidure is the same thing as Fitcamx app.
I went to their website I do not see one for highlander hybrid 2021?great video BTW!! 😊

@@vietbubbletea thank you 😊
Quick question I have a limited 2021 toyota highlander hybrid and my rear view mirror is thick like yours I always thought it was cuz the dimming feature.... How would I know if it have a camera view?
@redhulk Ultra The Toyota comparison chart states that only the Platinum trim has birds-eye-view camera and digital display rearview mirror. Your Limited will have the windshield camera for the Lane departure alert.
@@vietbubbletea I have a Birdseye view and that 12 inch screen tho
Whew! Nvm i figured it out! Ahaha
Push in and it will pull out. 😊
You got it, just like on a cell phone! Before you mount the dash cam to the windshield, give it a quick shake to make sure you don't hear any rattling. If you do, simply remove the four screws, take off the cover to get access to the camera wiring itself. There's a small battery pack that may have slipped out of the slot which you can fit snug back in and put the cover back on. Must have happened during shipping as was my experience.
@@vietbubbletea will do, thank you! Installing it today. I just opened and checked the box today hehe.
It stops recording when I disconnect my wifi, and when I connect my cell wifi, the internet stops working on my cell
@Sonny S Im using an Android Galaxy S8 and have no issues. Have you looked at the manual in the trouble shooting section to confirm your settings? You can contact the company directly through the app as well.
I came here to see if anyone else was having this problem, I am having this exact same issue. Just installed on my 22 highlander xle and I have a Samsung Note 20. Were you able to resolve or figure this out?
Not yet!
@Shai B I had a friend who had similar wifi issues with his IPhone, after troubleshooting with the company, they ended up sending him a new replacement unit. The app has a direct way to communicate with customer support if you are having issues. Luckily, I haven't had any issues since I've installed my Fitcamx, good luck!
@@vietbubbletea Thank you, I reached out to customer support in the app. Hopefully they are able to assist.
Great video BTW, very helpful.
Thanks again!
Where is the rear camera installation?
I didn't buy the front/rear combo because the front camera resolution would only be 1440P. I'd rather stick to the 4K for front camera only.
Does it drains your battery
No, the harness I used is not connected to a constant power source and turns off when the car is off. You could request the vendor for a different wiring kit that connects via in-line fuse if you prefer have it in parking mode.
Would you recommend a parking mode?
Hi Tran my name is Keith Hu a kam I live in canada I have a 2020 highlander xle I would like to order the dash cam from amazon I want to make every thing would be OK I red on a comment some one had a problem with the lane tracking. Ths keith
Hi Keith, that's the first time I've heard of issues with the lane assist. Did they also say if it returned to normal after it was uninstalled? A majority of the people I know have reported no issues after installing their Fitcamx. Since the camera is plug and play into the existing power source, you can try it out and if you have issues, Amazon has a great return policy but I'm hoping you won't have any issues like me. Good luck!
If the car is off and the cam shows a red blinking light what does that mean?
Do you have it powered through the fuse box in parking mode? When my car is off, the Fitcamx is powered off as well so there are no lights turned on.
@@vietbubbletea Thanks. One problem I have now is that it won’t record voice. I tried to mute and unmute the microphone on the app and no voice records.
Is the SD card you are using higher than 64GB? If so, you may have issues watching/listening the video from the dash cam. Try removing the SD card and watching the files from a computer or laptop to see if you can hear the audio. I think the instruction manual explains incompatibility issues if the memory card is higher than 64GB.
@@vietbubbletea thanks. I did that today. Put a 64 micro sd and formatted it and no voice recorded. Originally I had a 124 micro SD.
I just checked the price of this product on Chinese e-commerce sites(the biggest two), it cost USD60(including tax), and the shipment fee is USD65. I'm so upset this company's market department trades the customers as a fool. Especially this brand is just a new one without any reputation yet. Attractive products, poor marketing strategy.
That's unfortunate to hear, did you verify if these products are being sold by resellers or from the official Fitcamx storefront? I know the price on AliExpress is still $168 free shipping from the official storefront. There are also knockoffs making similar dashcams and selling them for cheaper but don't offer the same level of customer support that Fitcamx has regarding defects or trouble shooting. I'd stay away from those unbranded ones.

That’s 125? It sells for 168 here. That’s hardly any markup.
Vanture N4 is much better than this camera. Also n4 had 3 channels. Front, inside and rear camera. Quality of video is also a lot better.
I installed same model on my RAV4 but it doesn't loop record, it just stops recording and I can't fix it no matter what I try
Are you using a 3rd party app or the Fitcamx app? What time interval did you set your recordings for? What size memory card are you using? When you say that it stops recording, does that mean the dashcam turns off or what color light is blinking afterwards? Looks like there's some troubleshooting you need to do and the company can help you with your issue before deciding to send you a new unit.
