$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

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'

Experience today majorly knocking my confidence.

They range in price for a decent one between £100 and £800. Like if you want 4K, latest image sensor so it can 100% pickup a numberplate ahead and behind in all lighting conditions it's on the upper end of the price scale, around £400-£600 gets you a great 4K front, 1080p rear with full mobile insta

Dash cam tips?

I do this for a living. Strongly recommend the thinkware product, specifically the U3000 with the OBD II adapter. Routing of the cables requires you to be cognizant of the airbags, specifically the side curtain airbags, along the edges of the headliner and in the a pillar on either side of the winds

My parked car got hit twice this year, looking for a dashcam that actually helps in parking mode

I use a Thinkware U3000 2ch plugged into the OBD port on my car. It did fully catch a hit and run in parking mode earlier this year. I plugged it in directly on a 1999 Honda CR-V for over a year and now on an 04 cr-v and I’ve never had any battery issues with it

Best Dashcam for a Leased Car

Thinkware U3000 with ODB2 power kit is likely your best option. Blackvue DR970x plus ii with ODB2 power kit would be a strong alternative. No modifications to the vehicle. High quality. Easy to install and remove without a trace.

Dashcam front (windshield) cable / wire route to rear dashcam - ROVE

I had a dashcam only shop install my THINKWARE U3000 PRO, and he avoided the airbags, but remember he ran the cable inside the lower door jam where the wires go for the sill lights rather than overhead. He spent over 3 hours installing correctly, well worth paying the Pros rather than breaking a cli

What's the Best Camera For a 2013 Toyota Rav4 and Its Power Outlet?

Thinkware q200 is a great basic cam, and the U3000 is a great high end cam. Both are compatible with the ODB2 power adapter, which will avoid issues with the 12v plug.
