Here's my step-by-step guide on installing a dashcam for your 2021 Toyota Sienna using adapter made by Dongar Technologies. This product is compatible across several Toyota vehicles including the very popular Toyota Rav4.

[@stevedaniels5]

Great vid. It is worth repeating that this DOES NOT WORK with standard 2021 Toyota Sienna LE trim package. If your van does not have automatic rearview dimming, there is no port for the Dongar adapter.

[@kentmac0508]

How about for 22 & 23 LE?

[@amandalee9936]

Just found this out the hard way

[@AGreyson]

Worked for me. Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I appreciate it.

[@Auto-Minute]

Appreciate it Adam! Glad this video helped :D

[@shacharr73]

Worked perfect, thanks a lot !!!

[@HopHo]

Thanks for the video. Simple install for me as well. Looks very clean and works well.

[@Auto-Minute]

Thank you!

[@ooochakalaka]

Yes, thanks for doing this video..

[@Auto-Minute]

Of course! Glad this helped Bill 😃Thanks for watching.

[@diyfusionhelp472]

Thanks a lot.

I have a 2022 Toyota Sienna hybrid XSE. Would you be able to confirm if it is possible to install Dongar Technolgies adapter?

[@martynenkodima]

Does it drain the power because it stays on at all times? Or once you turn off the vehicle it stops the video recording?

[@user-fp4uf9zv3r]

The connection you used is not always hot, right? How would you install a dash cam that you want to work while the car is off? Thanks for the helpful video.

[@nickocadoavocado4251]

you can buy a connector for your OBD port that will provide constant power. If you’re more technical, you can also splice into the fusebox

[@chogokin721]

great video…can you share the direct link of the dongar adopters?

[@Auto-Minute]

Here ya go 🙂 dongar.tech/products/10pin-type-b-lexus-toyota

[@Bigwolf8412]

I wanted to ask if you have a new link for that part I clicked on the link you put in there and comes up page not found

[@Auto-Minute]

Hey! I corrected the link in the description and here' you go -- dongar.tech/products/10pin-type-b-lexus-toyota

[@cderry]

I have a 2021 Sienna Platinum trim level...which has the intelligent rear view mirror. It is essentially an LCD and when you flip the switch on the bottom, it switches to a camera view behind the van. Does that change which adapter I need?

[@Auto-Minute]

Hey Chris! I believe this should still work for your application.

[@cderry]

@@Auto-Minute Ok, good. Now I have to wait for them to come back in stock on Dongar's website or Amazon. (Hopefully in the next couple months before my vacation). Thanks for the reply!

[@Anthony-oe5nd]

According to the Dongar web page, Digital mirrors are not compatible.

[@fartman10284]

@@Anthony-oe5nd It works on my 21 HiHy Platinum with the digital mirror, except there's no space to hide everything. Had to shove it in between the roof and the headliner.

[@dinhkhanhtran4860]

Hi im wondering will it work with the parking mode?

[@Auto-Minute]

Nope. It's designed to turn ON/OFF with your vehicle. This prevents premature draining of car battery should the vehicle sit for an extended period of time. However, if that's not a concern to you, then I do recommend running cables either to the fuse box or the OBDI connector.

[@kelvinzhang1199]

Would it work n 2018 Highlander

[@Auto-Minute]

Most def! It's actually the same exact process. I tried it on my coworkers 2018 Highlander lol 🤭

[@vdinesh]

Great Video, does this adapter support 2CH Front and Rear Dashcam

[@Auto-Minute]

Hey! This should support 2-channel setup assuming it draws less than 2A of power. I know some newer dashcams can be energy intensive (especially with multi-channel setups) so you might want to check that out first.

[@johnlovett3111]

The plug (that you unplug on the passenger side) and plug the adapter into. What is that provide power to? I just want to know just in case the 1% chance the adapter goes bad what would the symptoms be on my vehicle "systems".

[@Auto-Minute]

All good! That runs power to your HomeLink (garage door buttons) and those dome light/reading lights up there.

[@johnlovett3111]

@@Auto-Minute appreciate that. That lets me know that if by some 1% chance my dome lights and my home link for my garage door opener start acting goofy it's possibly a loose connect in the harness. There's minimal at best chance of that happen I do understand that I just want to know what the symptoms will be if something went sideways that way I'm not scratching my head and paying a million dollars to the stealership

[@johnlovett3111]

I did order the Camfitx off of Amazon. The only thing appealing about it is it look streamline and OEM. Everything else I was not even remotely impressed with. There was a harness that came with it that plugged in series with something on the driver side up in the canopy right behind the rear view mirror. It is my understanding that controls the rear view mirror auto dimming. It plugs into some sort of box. I wish I could send you a picture of that box. I would send you my email but I don't want to put my email out there for everybody in the world to see. Send a picture of the "box"that I'm referring to.

[@Auto-Minute]

@@johnlovett3111 Most definitely! It's honestly one of the simplest ways to get a dashcam connected. They don't tamper with any of the safety sense systems. When installing, just make sure the connector is securely fastened. You should hear a click and those suckers shouldn't come loose once locked in.

[@Auto-Minute]

@@johnlovett3111Yeah, the FitcamX brand definitely has a more OEM look to it. I've never had my hands on one so I'll defer to your judgement on the operation :D The upside of going the Dongar Tech route is that it's modular and you can pair it with a dashcam of your liking. The modular design also helps when you need to diagnose or upgrade your dashcam.

[@johnlovett3111]

I would like to see the final product after everything is said and done

[@Auto-Minute]

Hey John! Apologies, that's an amateur mistake on my end not recording the entire process. Here's a better example of the setup - kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXqzl5ePptp-j7csi=UMMSy2YUNNGodKqf

[@mouafishing559]

I just bought a 2024 Sienna, does it use the same plug?

[@Auto-Minute]

Hey! It's going to depend on whether you have an auto-dimming rearview mirror. These adapters are designed to work with auto-dimming/powered rearview mirrors. If you've got one of those, the connector location should be in the same spot and most likely would use the same plug as this one (link in description). There's also a grey/white colored plug (12-pin?) which you can leave alone as it's the one that powers the Toyota Safety Sense system. Hope this helps! Cheers.

[@mouafishing559]

@@Auto-Minute ok thank you for clearing that up. I believe I do have auto dimming

[@Auto-Minute]

@@mouafishing559Niceee! then you should be good to go.

[@jonnywright4639]

I wish I had found that dongar adapter before I made a custom harness 😂

[@Auto-Minute]

haha hey if it works, it works :D

[@pkruez2089]

Doesn't the Sienna have a factory dashcam connection in that area?

[@Auto-Minute]

Not that I'm aware of at least...but if do you have an auto-dimming rearview mirror, the connector should be present as seen in this video. Cheers!

[@kalpeshpatel6171]

i like to connect sideview camera can you send me picture of both side signal wire harness and wire color also interior light wire color and harness both side
