Mangoal | Starvis 2 4K Integrated Dash Cam | 24+ Land Cruiser

Overview

Get true 4K recording without adding a bulky camera to your windshield. The Mangoal STARVIS 2 Integrated Dash Cam replaces the factory-style trim behind the rearview mirror for a clean, nearly invisible installation designed specifically for the 2024+ Toyota Land Cruiser 250.

At the heart of the system is Sony's STARVIS 2 IMX678 image sensor, delivering native 4K 2160p front recording with excellent detail and improved low-light performance. Combined with HDR technology, the Mangoal is designed to retain more usable detail in difficult lighting conditions—from bright headlights and streetlights at night to high-contrast daytime driving.

For even greater coverage, the available dual-channel system pairs the 4K IMX678 front camera with a Sony STARVIS 2 IMX675 rear camera recording at 2K 1440p.

Unlike conventional windshield-mounted dash cams, Mangoal integrates the front camera into an OEM-style housing behind the rearview mirror. There are no suction cups, dangling power cables, or large displays obstructing your view—just discreet, always-ready video coverage that looks like it came with the vehicle.

True 4K with Sony STARVIS 2

Resolution numbers don't tell the whole story when comparing dash cams.

The Mangoal uses Sony's 8-megapixel IMX678 STARVIS 2 sensor, allowing the front camera to capture native 3840×2160 4K footage rather than relying on a lower-resolution sensor and processing the image to a 4K output file.

That distinction matters when you're trying to recover the details a dash cam is actually there to capture. License plates, vehicles, road signs, and other fine details can become much more difficult to identify once you're moving, lighting deteriorates, or an object occupies only a small portion of the frame.

STARVIS 2 also brings improved low-light and high-dynamic-range performance, making the Mangoal especially compelling for nighttime driving.

Designed to Disappear

One of the biggest advantages of an integrated dash cam is that you shouldn't have to look at it every time you drive.

The Mangoal camera installs behind the rearview mirror using a vehicle-specific housing that blends into the Land Cruiser's factory interior. Once installed, there is no large screen, suction-cup mount, or visible power cable hanging across the windshield.

You get the protection of an always-on dash cam without making your interior look like you've added one.

Front or Front + Rear Coverage

Choose the setup that makes the most sense for your Land Cruiser:

Front 4K: Sony STARVIS 2 IMX678 front camera with native 4K 2160p recording.

Front 4K + Rear 2K: Adds a Sony STARVIS 2 IMX675 rear camera with 2K 1440p recording for high-resolution coverage in both directions.

For owners who want maximum coverage, the dual-camera configuration is our pick. The upgraded 2K rear camera is especially worthwhile compared with the 1080p rear cameras commonly included with integrated dual-channel systems.

Mangoal vs. FitCamX

Both are excellent choices if your priority is a clean, OEM-style dash cam installation.

FitCamX remains a great choice for owners looking for a simple, well-proven integrated dash cam at a lower price point.

Mangoal STARVIS 2 is our choice for owners who place a higher priority on outright video quality. Its native-resolution Sony IMX678 front sensor, STARVIS 2 technology, HDR capability, and available IMX675 2K rear camera make it the true no-compromises solution.

Whichever you choose, both avoid the biggest compromise of most aftermarket dash cams: having another device permanently stuck to your windshield.
