How to Find the Factory Dash Cam Connector in 2025 Camry

When Toyota designed the all-new 2025 Camry (including Hybrid LE, SE, XLE, and XSE), they did something thoughtful: they pre-wired every car for a dash cam. The connector is tucked away above your headliner, near the rearview mirror. Whether you're installing the genuine Toyota accessory dash cam or an aftermarket integrated model like the popular Wefoka HD2‑06090 (4K front + 1080p rear), knowing how to find this connector saves you hours of work and gives you a factory‑clean power source.

🔍 Yes, Your 2025 Camry Is Pre‑Wired

If you've been searching forums wondering whether your Camry has this hidden feature, the answer is a definitive yes. One owner confirmed on Toyota Nation: "To begin I want to answer the question that I saw many people asking. Yes, the 2025 Camry is pre-wired for an OEM dash cam." . The connector is part of the vehicle's factory harness, designed specifically for dash cam installation .

The official Toyota installation manual refers to it as the "Dashcam Pre-Wire harness", located above the headliner near the center‑front of the vehicle . It's a 5‑pin connector that provides switched 12V power—meaning it only activates when your Camry is running, which is perfect for cameras without parking mode (like the Wefoka HD2‑06090) and protects your hybrid's 12V battery from draining .

🛠️ Tools You'll Need

That's it. No multimeter, no fuse taps, no wire strippers—Toyota has already done the hard work for you.

📍 Step‑by‑Step: Finding the Hidden Connector

These instructions are based on real owner experiences and the official Toyota service manual. The entire process takes about 30–45 minutes for a first‑timer .

Step 1: Remove the Overhead Console (Dome Light / Sunroof Panel)

The connector is hidden behind this panel, so removal is necessary. The process differs slightly depending on whether your Camry has a moonroof or not.

For models without a moonroof: The panel has two clips at the front (toward the windshield) and two plastic hooks at the rear .

• Insert your trim tool under the front corner (closest to the windshield) at about a 45‑degree angle—this helps you reach above the plastic lip .
• Gently pry and pull downward to release the first clip. Repeat on the other front corner .
• Once the front clips are released, the console will drop and dangle by its wiring harness. This is normal .
• Do not pry the back corners—they have hooks, not clips, and forcing them could break the panel . Instead, once the front is loose, slide the console forward to disengage the rear hooks .

For models with a moonroof: The process is similar but the console has four red clips and two plastic rear hooks. One owner advises: "The front clips towards the windshield were kind of straightforward to loosen using a plastic pry tool as you mentioned and those need to be done first. The other two clips are situated more towards the middle of the console, not the rear. There are actually 2 plastic hooks towards the back so don't pry the back corners or it's going to feel like it will break (it probably would!). It was easier to use my hands to pry the middle section firmly but steadily apart to disengage those clips, and then slide the unit forward to disengage the hooks" .

Step 2: Locate the Hidden Connector

With the overhead console lowered, look into the opening between the windshield and where the console sat. You'll see a black cloth sleeve tucked behind the main wire harness .

The official manual states: "Locate the Dashcam Pre-Wire harness above the headliner. The dashcam harness is tucked in behind the main harness near the center-front of the vehicle and pull it out" .

Gently slide the black sleeve off to reveal the 5‑pin connector .

Step 3: Free the Connector

About 2 inches behind the connector, you'll find a piece of white tape attaching it to another wire harness . Carefully cut this tape with your scissors to release the wire. In some cases, the connector may be wrapped around the other harness and need to be gently unwrapped .

Step 4: Route the Connector Through the Headliner

From the driver's side of the windshield, locate the pre‑cut notch in the front edge of the headliner . Carefully feed the connector and wire through this notch . Take your time to avoid creasing the headliner .

Now you have a clean, factory power source dangling right where your dash cam will mount.

Step 5: Reinstall the Overhead Console

Before putting everything back, check the condition of the console clips. If any were damaged during removal (the red clips are considered single‑use and may break), you can order replacements—part number 90467‑09240 or aftermarket equivalents .

To reinstall:

• First, insert the rear tabs into the headliner opening .
• Swing the front of the console upward and push firmly until the front clips click back into place .
• If you have a moonroof, remember to reattach the sun visor clips by inserting them in the anti‑clockwise position and rotating clockwise to lock .

⚡ What Can You Do With This Connector?

Now that you've found the pre‑wire, you have two excellent paths forward.

Option 1: Toyota Genuine Dash Cam (PT949-03210-C0)

The official Toyota dash cam plugs directly into this 5‑pin connector—no adapters needed. It provides 1080p front recording and integrates with the Toyota app. One owner who installed it noted: "The installation was relatively simple... This took me about 45 minutes to complete start to finish" .

Option 2: Aftermarket Integrated Cams (Like Wefoka HD2-06090)

If you want higher resolution, a rear camera, and more features, aftermarket options are compelling. The Wefoka HD2‑06090 (sold under various names) offers:

While the Wefoka doesn't have a matching 5‑pin connector, you can still use the factory pre‑wire as a power source. Options include:

• Use a 12V‑to‑USB adapter: Connect the pre‑wire to a small 12V‑to‑USB converter, then plug the camera's USB cable into it. This gives you clean, switched power.
• Splice into the wire: If you're comfortable with electrical work, you can cut the 5‑pin connector and directly connect the camera's hardwire kit.

Either way, you're leveraging Toyota's thoughtful engineering to avoid running cables to your fuse box or cigarette lighter.
