The frunk is a lot like the front room in the house I grew up in. Never used unless guests came over

Interesting set up. Is it really less noticeable than the 'normal' stick to the windshield method?
How is the rear one installed?
Where did you go to for the power for this?
I have the Viofo A119S in the Prius and almost bought another (the v3 IIRC) in their recent sale for the Y. It's odd that I haven't done this for the Y yet as I've had cameras for six or seven years now, maybe even longer. I figured the Tesla camera would take care of the rear, and I'm hoping, though tbh not 100% sure that the Tesla dashcam feature would work for the forward view ... maybe I'll get one today
One more ... are you going to paint those bolts black?

I got a seat protector for pets for the back seat. It doesn't actually fit the Y, but I got it from the Goodwill and it looks like brand new. So once I can figure out what it actually does fit, I'll try and sell it
Floor mats (because they should have come with the vehicle at the time of purchase)
Rear cargo area mat (because it should have come with the vehicle at the time of purchase)
Mud flaps (because they should have come with the vehicle at the time of purchase)
Rear door PPF triangle thingies (because they should have come with the vehicle at the time of purchase)
The twisty screen thing, but I haven't installed that yet as I just got used to the regular screen - is it really worth doing?
I also carry a RIGID inflator and a spare battery and a tire repair kit (because . . .

The rear camera is sticked to the rear windows. You have to be careful not overlapping any defrosting wires who could be damaged.
From the 12V auxilliary plug.
The camera get disconnected when the car is sleepping.
However, I have an extension from the ODBC2 plug to get a not interrupted 12V.
This allows me, when needed, to keep the camera recording all the night even when the car is sleeping.
The camera can be accessed remotely from the cloud when the camera is connected to a WiFi hotspot..
Note: The Tesla Sentry cameras are now remotely accessible, but Sentry mode drains the car battery quickly,
so I prefer keep the car sleeping and access the dashcam from the cloud.
I was thinking that I used the bolts because the 3M tape was pelling but I was wrong.
I initialy used the 3M tape but I didn't realised that the plastic cover was curbed.
So the camera was slightly slented.
The solution then could be to put the base of the camera in the middle of the Tesla cover.
But the base of the camera is on the right side of the camera so it would not be symetrical then.
Adding some small screws allowed me to adjust the camera horizontally.
Honestly, the screws are very tiny and not noticeable.One more ... are you going to paint those bolts black?
They look shinny only because I used a flash when taking the picture.
i ordered the "New 4 Way" option from here, will find out soon.

Are you referring to the side bins? I've been looking for a hard bin with a cover to go in the subtrunk for camping gear but pickings are slim.
Yes, I was referring to the side bins. Here is a bin I use that is close to the maximum size that will fit in the sub trunk and the floor of the cargo area lays flat.
Hefty 72 Qt. Clear Storage Bin with Blue HI-RISE Lid

Scroll up. I attached a picture of the bin in the subtrunk in the post that you quoted.
You can probably swap those fasteners out for black versions. Anodized Aluminum for example.
