"I've installed 4 FitCamX devices in 3 Lexus and 1 Toyota including the rear-view and it doesn't get any simpler. ... Even easier than tapping the fuse box and looks totally factory. ... I've had all three variants, the 'hardwire' to fuse box, cigarette lighter, and this one, and I will install this every time. ... they make it idiot proof in the sense you cannot plug it into the wrong thing."
"Can't see it at all! ... it is 100% hidden away. ... if it wasn't for seeing the bottom .25" of the back camera you wouldn't know it's there"
"INVISIBLE."

"records clear enough in day and night to submit to insurance or a YouTube channel"
"the recording quality is better than just about any other dashcam that I ’ve seen."
"Great 4K video quality too. ... "exceed expectations" would be more accurate for me ... I think the quality is totally fine. Better than most other dashcam footage you see tbh. Reddit added some compression when I uploaded so the actual file on my computer is a little better quality."

"I contacted the customer service through Whatsapp and they gave me instructions pretty quickly on how to reset the password. ... I was very impressed with the customer service. ... I was happy that they responded quickly and answered with a fix without having to explain the issue a million times. It was like 3 messages exchanged and it was resolved. ... excellent customer support"
"I asked for a 128gb card rather than a discount. And they complied. It got here in a week through free shipping. 128gb is perfect."
"Had an issue installing on a 2025 limited but had live tech support through website chat. ... Tech Definitely knew the instal and had helpful advice."

"Recently had an accident without the front cam working, of course."
"I personally did not have a good experience with FitcamX. ... It stopped working completely after a few weeks."
"Avoid the fitcamx. It works about 80% of the time, but the 20% it just decided not to record were during the two times I needed it. ... Both regularly show the red light on indicating recording, but when you go back to check recordings, there will be gaps not just in dates I know the car was driven, but in increments of time. ... Example, a drive to work might have a recording of me pulling out of the drive way, and pulling into my parking space, but 1/4 of the trip is just missing. ... I contacted their customer service and was told it could be my SD cards, so I swapped them. Truck got a Samsung Pro Plus and a Sandisk Extreme Plus for my ID.4, both formatted, both with the same issue."

"very shitty video quality"
"FitCamCrap: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNqC2I7jt3Y ... Hint: you can read the license plate with Viofo. Not at all with FitCamCrap"
"this video quality trash for a $200 dashcam? ... You can't even make out the license plate of the car that turned in front of me"

"the Bluetooth on the camera and the Bluetooth on the infotainment system of the truck are always in conflict. ... so you'll get connection issues if you don't turn off the Bluetooth in your truck settings. ... This is really frustrating when you need to show someone the footage in a timely manner."
"His android drove me nuts setting it up. ... I had to disconnect from his Bolt’s CarPlay to get the app to connect to the Fitcamx WiFi. ... Like permanently remove the CarPlay connection."
"I almost returned it because I couldn get the app WiFi to be stable. ... Turns out my wireless CarPlay was kicking me off for some reason as soon as I connected. ... I just don bother with the app anymore"

"My Rav4 hybrid had it's battery drained from the FitcamX ... just last week it drained the battery and we were stuck. ... I did not know that the camera continues to draw power via the mirror even when the car is off (we do not have any parking mode turned on), and we didn't even leave the car off that long, it was literally 4 hours."
"Oh, on their web-site, it says that when the vehicle is locked, it turns off. So this is not a "sentry mode" option. ... As far as parking, plenty of use cases, two of which I've personally experienced: people backing up into your vehicle while you're parked. ... Hit and run is a great reason for parking cam."
"I’ve also turned off the “parking mode” because it seemed to come on every few minutes even when in my garage."

"it didn’t really fit the 991.2 ... none of them actually lined up. they all sort of sat “inside” the remaining oem housing half ... the big problem is because the fitcam housing was smaller there was no sane way to run the wiring. ... see how the fitcam opening is small? it is fully blocked by the mirror mount so you cant get wires through."
"the stupid back one is just hanging there impotently, off to the side of my hatchback ... I can’t bring myself to put adhesives or holes into the paneling or glass ... I don’t want to drag the cord back out of the A frame"
"when I installed in on my 24 Ridgeline and pried off the rear view mirror assembly the two plastic connectors broke. ... I was never able to figure how to fix it so it dangles."
