Embarrassed-Mark771 1.0I just use 2 garmin mini dashcam, the mini 2 is forward facing and the mini 1 is rear facing. They don't record when parked, but are very discreet and held the cable in place with some grey coloured blu-tac. I already had this setup in my previous car, so I just lifted and shifted.
SortOfKnow 1.0Idk even remember how old my 1 is, but it’s going strong. Got the 2 as a rear for my truck, zero issues and my wife’s car has a 3 in the front and 2 for the rear, both within a year but never had an issue with Garmin yet.
Strict_Tie_52 1.0Been using my Dash mini 1 for three years now in Australian weather, no issues.
WaterDreamer10 1.0Yes, ran the original Mini for years until the 2 came out....been running that since release and not one single issue. OP sounds like he has an issue with power supply.
trexalou 0.9My garmin mini (dc45) lasted me upwards of 7-8 years. I’m on my replacement now (dc46) working on year 3 I think…. 45 was always on, recording 24/7. 46 was in storage for about 2.5 months and then another month later. (Car in shop, car totaled & being replaced). It only records when the car engine is on or if it detects something in parking mode. Edit: it stays in the car always. Temps in my area range from -5* to 110*F.
ll_JTreehorn_ll 0.1About a mini 3 years ago. It didn't even last 6 months. Same issue.
It wasn't the mini 3. It was a 1 or 2. I don't know.
70125 0.1I had two Garmin Mini sensors fail after a short time. Which sucks because they're the most subtle form factor cam on the market. Everything else is bulky and ugly (see OP's photo) which ultimately is an important consideration for something that I want to keep hidden from sight. I really did love them...while they worked, at least. Went with Viofo for the replacement and am happy so far, while keeping my fingers crossed.
Accomplished_Pea6334 0.1I use a Garmin Mini and just hide the wire along the top and side panel and connect the USB to the passenger charge port. Works fine for me!
Garmin mini works just fine for us. I never use the app unless there is some update.
AEO-Infinity 0.1I use the Garmin mini dash cam (don’t remember exact name) and it works great too. Used it for multiple incidents and never had any issues. Doesn’t record when power is off however
ajh489 0.1A Garmin Dash Mini is less than £100, then plus installation if you want to hard wire it. It's cheaper because it doesn't have a screen. But videos are still visible via the app and memory card. It's also very small and fits nearly behind the mirror.
