It may not be an option on what side to install as Lexus said in the above post that it won't reach if installed on the left. Once the camera is initially set up there is nothing to do. It turns on and off automatically. It's easier to review the recording by popping the removable micro SD card into a computer. The phone app is more cumbersome.

Dealer just called and my Lexus dash cam has arrived. My salesperson has set up a loaner for next Tuesday morning. He says it takes a few hours.
I will tell the service people AND leave a sign in the vehicle that the camera must be mounted on the driver’s side of the rear view mirror. If they can’t, well that depends on my mood.
Will let everyone know.

Dropped the 350h off this am and the loaner was a 2022 RX350. I always complained about the CVT but after getting into the loaner, I won’t anymore. The transmission causes quite a delay sometimes while it hunts for the right gear. The 350h has instant acceleration with the CVT and electric motors. Much more responsive.
‘Anyway, looking forward to getting my baby back! Holding my breath that there is no damage or dents. I made the service tech walk around my vehicle to witness there is zero body/paint damage. I also confirmed with them the dashcam would be mounted on the driver side and included a picture from the Lexus site showing it that way. They said it would take 2-3 hours to complete the install. Glad I got a fixed price!

@ggebhardt ...what was the price paid for the camera? And then how much for the install? It's curious how different every dealer is on both the cost of the camera, as well as install time.
Post photo when you get it showing it on the correct side so we all have a real photo showing it in the right place

$475 plus tax and a rental while the work is being done.
They already called and said they can not install on the driver side so I told them to forget it.
After thinking about it for few minutes, I called them back and told them to go ahead as it is still worth it to have this protection.
Front and rear dash cams should be built in at the factory. It would maybe add a couple hundred bucks . . . . .

Sometime life does not seem fair, but in the scheme of things, this is only a small problem. Things can always be worst!

I wonder if it is a Japan vs. Canada build thing? The wiring harness https://parts.sptoyota.com/products/...0-wire-harness sure looks like it is long enough or easily lengthened.

Software/app downloaded to phone and it works as expected and will download from the camera. It is done.
