awesome! i have a garmin 57 on mine
r/ToyotaTacoma • First mod: Dash cam install ->I have a Garmin 57 in one car and a viofo in the other. My wife just bought a 25 and I installed the Garmin to the right and high. Running the cable was a delight since this car has a hidden 12v socket in the glove box. Tucked all wires in the trim and did not have to remove one thing. Viofo A 129 gets rave pro reviews and has a new model out.
r/Subaru_Outback • Best Dashcam ->I have a Garmin DC 57 and I love it. Cheapest insurance you'll ever buy
r/hondaridgeline • Dash Cam ->I have a garmin mini for a rear dash cam and a garmin 57 for the front. I didn’t realize you could use the mirror to power it….I’ll be changing to that!
r/SubaruAscent • Dash Cam ->Been running the Dongar Adapter with a Garmin 57 Dash Cam in my Tacoma since I got it in May 2022. I bought 6" USB cable off Amazon so I didn't have find a place to hide a bunch of extra cabling and it's been a solid setup. Within 6 months it saved my ass when a guy took an illegal right-turn on red RIGHT in front of me then slammed on his brakes and came to a complete stop (I think it was an insurance fraud attempt). I got slowed down to about 5mph when I popped him in the bumper, and luckily there was no airbag deployment, but still cracked up the front bumper pretty good. I could tell the cop thought it was going ot be an easy ticket for me, especially after the other driver convieniently left out the part about making an illegal right-turn on red. When the cop asked me what happened, I just said it would be easier to show you my dash cam footage. The other driver threw a fit when the cop issued him a citation, yelling and screaming at him. When the cop hit him with, "Well, his dash cam footage doesn't lie," he changed his tune and was asking if he could just pay the ticket. 😂 Possibly the best $250 I've ever spent.
r/ToyotaTacoma • Garmin Mini 3 + Dongar Combo Dash Cam ->I have the Garmin Dashcam 57 but I don't know if they sell my specific model anymore as I bought it for my last vehicle and just carried it over into my 24 santa fe. I also bought the parking mode cable and wired it I to the internal fuse box using fuse taps so that it'll start recording if something happens that rocks it or makes a loud noise when the vehicle is not running. Garmin makes a great product so whatever they're selling now will likely be even better than what I have. The app that the dashcams use is very easy to navigate if you need to download any specific clips to your phone to view.
r/HyundaiSantaFe • Dash cam recommendation ->I run the Garmin 57 in my Prime and I really like it. This one has its own internal battery so it doesn’t need to draw off the 12v when the car is parked.
r/rav4prime • Dashcam for Primes ->I have a Garmin 57 in my 24 CRV Sport-L, only front camera. I bought the Garmin parking mode cable, and just tucked it around the windshield, down a-pillar to the fuse box on drivers side.
r/crv • Anyone recently buy & install a dashcam in a 2024/25 CRV? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
