Toyota new digital rear view mirror description and use

[@NLCovers]

very useful if it starts to snow when driving, especially in the northeast. snow comes quick and all you need to do is clear that snow from the camera with the wipers occasionally. much better view .

[@stevenwelchtoyota]

Great point

[@pell222]

i'll sorely miss the right mirror camera on my recently deceased 2015 Honda Fit, it looks like this feature is an answer to some of the benefit i got out of that camera. i would use that camera as a partial rearview when fully cargo loaded for example, this camera also looks like it has decent side angle as well that would get some of what my mirror camera would

[@dougduker2681]

I pickup up my Venza yesterday. Still learning about this car and didn't know what to expect from this mirror, but holy cow is it cool! Do people leave it on all of the time or do you flip it up to consult as needed? I think, while driving, it may take some getting used to. The biggest problem I see is when you drive a car w/out it, boy will you miss it.

[@stevenwelchtoyota]

you can keep it on if you want. they do warn that if you are seizure prone it could be bad to leave it on.

[@brendanpowers7945]

Thank you! The owner's manual had nothing.

[@stevenwelchtoyota]

You are very welcome

[@ankur75757]

What does the battery logo on the top rightside mean? Are we able to record the screen?

[@stevenwelchtoyota]

It's a camera symbol. Alot of people see it as either a battery or a coffee cup.

[@davidr.wilson8194]

I keep my rear view mirror tilted up so I can't see people riding three feet off my bumper.Can I do that with this?

[@stevenwelchtoyota]

You can adjust it

[@jenovaizquierdo]

Really helpful even do I don’t have the camera in the back 😢

[@stevenwelchtoyota]

It is a great option

[@jenovaizquierdo]

Steven Welch 👍 I got it, thank to you. I have a question and will like to know if you experience this, in my new Toyota RAV4 2019 when I open all the windows 50% In a hot day and I used Apple car after few minutes Apple car play stop function I have to turn off the car completely and turn it on again in order to work.

[@Termite159]

Thanks for the video on the mirror. Do you know if when in standard mirror mode, does it perform like an Auto Dimming Mirror? I see videos for the camera mode that reduced glare and wondered if standard mirror mode did as well. Thanks!

[@stevenwelchtoyota]

@@Termite159 it works like a self dimming mirror yes

[@Termite159]

@stevenwelchtoyota thank you!

[@volslover1504]

What trim level does this mirror come on in the RAV4? Is it on the new TRD?

[@stevenwelchtoyota]

It is standard in the xse hybrid, limited hybrid, limited and limited awd. It is available in the xle premium 2 and all wheel drive, the adventure series and the TRD offroad.

[@DerikTran]

is there an option to record while parked or driving when motion is detected on the back camera? especially if there is a crash detection with incoming vehicle at abnormal speeds?

[@CookieZ3353]

so you adjust the mirror via electronics rather than by hand. my husband and i are different heights, so this is going to be fun. i traded my '09 vw tiguan for a '21 highlander and i'm mourning the simplicity of the controls in the vw. all of these electronics are not necessary, imo. the cruise control is complicated and i'm constantly looking at the dash instead of the road when i'm using the cc. the only cool thing that i'm looking forward to doing is being able to listen to my fave talk radio podcasts via the audio system (not called radio, hmmmm). are you filming this while on the clock by the way? (maybe this is why the boeing 737 max's are crashing---too much electronics).

[@rickymoore6588]

That was very helpful. Do you know what the finance promotions are going to be for July?

[@stevenwelchtoyota]

Not yet no

[@victormdp]

what's the battery indicator on the top right corner? I think sometimes it displays half "charged" and sometimes "empty", and my Home Link range has gone now... might it be related?

[@АлександрКозда]

How did you solve your question about the battery (camera) indicator in the upper right corner, I also have an empty indicator icon. Thanks, I'll wait for an answer.

[@higherlifts420]

​@@АлександрКоздаI'm just gonna be piggy backing you looking for a fix everywhere lol. My 2020 stopped working temporarily.

[@tammyconway7862]

Hi, can I change my regular mirrow on my 2024 Toyota Sienna Platinum to a digital rearview mirrow like this from a Toyota Dealership/

[@biasanto]

What about when you are driving? I would like to see how it looks while driving. What is preventing me to buy the Sienna is the rear mirror. While I was testing driving the entertainment TV was on the way I couldn’t see the back. And my kids pretty much watch tv while I am driving so I do need a car with the tv. If this digital mirror is gonna fix that then I will definitely get the car.

[@stevenwelchtoyota]

I think you will like it. You can keep it on while driving

[@blurayauthority]

Bear in mind that the image comes from a camera outside of the car. So anything going on in your car (TV, something blocking the back window, etc.) won’t be affected by this. This should be standard on every car.

[@roadtowaterfallsbysophiade9321]

My question is at night time I cannot see clearly thru tge camera so I switch it back to normal mirror. Is there a way to adjust it to better view at night?

[@MrPhoenixhandyman]

How do you clean the rearview mirror camera on a 2022 Venza? How do you reach the camera?

[@stevenwelchtoyota]

Its in the back window. If you have a issue with how it looks try to clean the top of the back window

[@vortexracing9388]

Thank you much appreciated

[@stevenwelchtoyota]

You are very welcome

[@mikeyd6031]

That's cool they put the camera inside of the rear glass so if the rear glass if full of schmutz, the wiper can clear the view. I have a Nissan LEAF with the camera outside just above the license plate. It's pretty much worthless since it gets coated with so much road spray I can never see very well out of it.

[@stevenwelchtoyota]

I agree

[@Hereweare75]

What about the Battery life indicator in the top right corner? Is that hardwired or does that need a battery replacement? Thank you

[@stevenwelchtoyota]

@@Hereweare75 it's a camera icon not a battery indicator. It means it is showing the camera view not the reflection

[@RichDix-y1h]

How can I just use the manual mirror? It's incredibly stiff, so I'm afraid to adjust it, for fear if breaking it!

[@DaddyBLUE90S]

Will tinting the windows affect the visibility of that camera?

[@stevenwelchtoyota]

Yes

[@goodguy1651]

I'm sure the person doing the tint can just cut out the space for the lense

[@danrichman1]

The 2023 Prius Prime I'm thinking about buying doesn't have a rear wiper. I was thinking the digital rearview mirror might be a way to see clearly through the rear window. But if the area of the rear window in front of the camera isn't getting wiped, won't that obscure the image the camera provides?

[@welfarewagonrepairs]

I think the prius has a washer that sprays fluid where the camera is on the rear of the vehicle.

[@trouard1]

Thank you very much Steve. For me you are the clearest in your presentation of the 2021 Venza. One question, can the side mirrors be programmed in any way with/without key fob on my Limited?

[@stevenwelchtoyota]

They will fold in but not auto adjust

thanks for the answer, it seems there is a battery in the mirror, it lasts a certain time and it needs to be changed, we will remove the mirror and look for the reason why the camera does not work, thanks again

[@preparingtexas7856]

That is an awesome feature. Would we be able to keep that on the entire time we're driving, and if it blows out is the feature just gone or will it cost an arm and a leg to replace it or correct it? Just curious. So far, imo, it's worth the $600 it costs.

you can leave it on. And you should be about right on the price I would guess
