My toyota has a fitcamx that i insatalled myself, it was a smooth install, took about 30mins, since its a replacement for a trim piece its hard to tell its there unless you know.
My subaru has 2 independent dashcams installed a long time ago so i dont know what they are, these were also installed by myself and took a bit longer due to wire management
If your not handy enough id highly recommend you go with toyota and have them install it.
Quality wise i honestly cant tell much difference between the once i got over 5 years ago and the fit cam.
They are good enough for daylight and all of them are dog shit for night. (Though im sure you can spend big bucks and get camera's that are good for night too)
I have a FITMAX for the 2022-2024 model K5 and I can recommend it. There are definitely better cams out there but I really value the integration with the housing already. The installation was a bit more of a chore compared to a regular cam, but nothing crazy.

I would suggest you get something from a better brand. I went through two FitcamX and both had the issue where they'd stop recording **with no warning or indication that they were not recording**. That is dangerous for a dashcam because you could get into an accident, go to pull the footage, and find it has not recorded anything for weeks or months. I am not the only one who had this problem either.

Personally, I got a VIOFO A329S. But there are many other good brands without the serious reliability concerns.
VIOFO A329. Works great.
I absolutely do **NOT** recommend the FitcamX. I went through two. Both stopped loop recording randomly *with no warning*. Even with a high quality high endurance Samsung microSD card. This is very dangerous, as the camera lights up like it's recording and everything is fine. Yet after something happens and you go to get the footage, you notice there is nothing recorded at all for the past month+. It is not something you can rely on.

5 from me here. It works great. The user interface can be a little clunky — you have to disconnect your phone from the vehicle in order to connect the phone to the camera, but it connects fine and works smoothly once you do that.
Damn! That’s good to know. My best friend just picked up a ‘25 and I had recommended this to him. Will let him know it’s not compatible. Hopefully they release an updated, compatible version soon.
I have a ‘24 Badlands with Lux and it works perfectly.
If the reviewer said it only took him 3 minutes to install and it doesn’t have power, I think they should have taken 5 minutes and made sure they fully plugged it in?
