So I haven’t seen anybody post yet about a dashcam install so I thought I would share mine.

2025 Toyota 4runner Garmin Mini 3 Dashcam install IMG_7676


I chose to go with the Garmin Mini 3 and bought a plug and play wiring harness from Amazon that will take power from the mirror. Seen videos about this for the 4th gen taco, so I assumed it would work for the 6th gen 4R.

Use some good pressure on the plastic cover behind the mirror, pull out the middle piece, then the larger cover. The larger cover was a challenge. Gotta pop the top portion on both sides then slide down. You can pretty much follow any 4th gen Tacoma dash cam install but here is a picture of the wiring harness plugged into the 10 pin (red arrow). I just stuffed the wiring harness up there and fed the usb through the opening for the mirror.

Finished result, hope this is useful.

ok, so when you say you took power from the mirror - are you saying you had the digital mirror? As in, this won't work if you don't have the digital mirror?

So if you’re talking about the digital mirror that comes with the tow package, ours did not come with that option. It does have the garage door openers at the bottom of the rear view mirror though.

So you are saying there is a power source for the mirror. Sorry for getting hung up on that, but I am trying to figure out what you are talking about.

Yeah, red arrow in the 2nd photo is pointing to the 10 pin connector which is the power to the mirror.
