$600? Excuse me?

if it’s a 4K front camera, includes a rear camera, and installation, I’d say that might be a good deal, for Lexus, especially. I sell and install dash cams for a living, I prefer the thinkware U 3000, and U3000 pro. $550 and $580, respectively. Not including installation. SUV is about three hours at

People keep hitting my brand new telluride…

I’d focus on how you’re powering parking mode. A lot of dash cams sound good on paper, but for hit and runs the setups people seem happiest with are hardwired with low-voltage cutoff or paired with an external battery so you’re not killing the starter battery. Buffered parking mode matters too becau

Is there a dash cam to fit all my needs?

If parking mode is your main priority, I’d honestly look at Thinkware first. A lot of cams really just save from the impact onward, but Thinkware’s radar parking mode can pick up motion before the actual hit, which is way more useful if you care about real evidence. And since you said you want more

A dashcam

How good is the fitcamX? I like the appearance and simplicity. It taps into the mirror power? Will Hyundai grumble about that with warranty issues? I was considering a higher end Thinkware u3000 as the radar parking mode seems really good. Not as tidy from an install point of view though.

A dashcam

I've had some major issues with my VW including electrical issues, every time it's gone with a Fitcamx installed and never once they've mentioned anything. Honestly it depends what you want, the FitcamX is a mid quality dashcam for a top quality price. However for the tidiness and ease of install I'

New Owner!!

Screen saver from Amazon is probably the cheapest and best accessory to protect that super soft infotainment screen. I had THINKWARE U3000 Pro front and rear Dashcam installed. Uses OBD II power connector so no fuse box taps and has one of the best parking modes to save battery drain.

What is the best dash cam for my 4th generation Mazda 3 Sedan?

Rather than supporting Amazon's evil ways and potentially getting a counterfeit product, I recommend supporting a smaller retailer that's going to offer you a decent price, actual support, and knowledgeable reviews. I usually order from https://www.blackboxmycar.com/ and have been very happy with th

HIT AND RUN on 280 north San Jose by 10th street Exit on July 4, 2025 around 10:40 pm.( Please Help)

I have a BlackVue DR900X 2-CH which has the older Starvis 1 sensor. The latest DR970X 2-CH has the new sensor and is about $450. I also hear good things about the Thinkware U3000 ($550).

Drivers in this city

Thinkware Q850, U1000, U3000 would be my recommendations for a good quality dashcam. There are other brands out there ive just had really good success with Thinkware, plus the app is easy to use. When you use a suction cup the window should be at room temperature. If the window is too cold the sucti
