$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.

Any Recommendations for CS Limited Aftermarket Accessory
THINKWARE U3000 uses OBD II power and the best parking mode efficiency, High end cameras with good app and support.

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

Which dash cam recommendation please...easier install?
Can you define complicated install? Most dash cams have roughly the same install. Most complicated part is cleanly running the wiring through the car and figuring out which fuses to use for hardwiring. You could use a different method to power, but hardwiring with add a fuse is easy enough that I do

After a month of having it.
Someone keyed my IS350, after which I got a THINKWARE U3000 PRO. It has radar on the front and back that can sense someone approaching and record them while parked. People just like to destroy nice cars for no reason. Sorry that happened to you 😔 I suggest to everyone to get one.
