360 degree camera

[Trewithy]

Anyone got a 2024 Yaris Cross?  does it come with, or can you specify a 360 degree camera.

Waaa wish my Yaris could have that!

The 360 is available as part of the safety pack on the Excel and GR models and standard on the Premiere

The 2021 YC Premiere that I've recently bought, I went out of my way to find one with the 360 cameras.  Now that I have them, I'd hate to not have them.  Absolutely excellent 👌 

Shame Toyota do not incorporate these cameras also as 360 dash cam recording, how hard can that be !!!

I suspect very hard, the processing power to constantly record from them and stitch the images together and have them record at a decent frame rate to a recording device can be taxing on any processing unit. Showing realtime video is far less taxing as you can just pipe the feed straight to the screen.

Yes, I probably agree, but if Toyota (or any car manufacturer) got into partnership with Garmin, ThinkWare, Nextbase etc, it would happen pretty quickly, it's totally doable, Tesla are heading in the right direction with it.  It's similar to how Garmin integrated with the car manufacturers with their sat navs !!

It would be an interesting idea but would be costly. The tesla camera videos from what I have seen are terrible quality but something is better the nothing when trying to prove who hit who or why.

Give it a few years more and It might become some safety feature that NCAP gives more points for.

For anyone that wants to order a new Yaris Cross be a wear that the Yaris Cross brochure currently available on the Toyota website is still dated December 2022 & the information is very out of date

The May 2024 pricelist currently on the Toyota website give's a better idea but a Toyota main dealer should have a 2024 model year briefing guide for the updated Yaris Cross with the correct specification information in.
