a5hl3yk 1.0I use the Mini 2 with Dongar on both of my cars.
AccomplishedMeet4131 1.0I have garmin mini 2 with dongle to plug it into mirror
afghanzada 1.0Plugged in a Garmin dash cam mini 2 using a short cable matters USB-C to Mini-USB cable. Worked well for recording with the car on. Later bought the Garmin OBD2 always on dongle.
ajh489 1.0I went for a Garmin Dash Mini 2 because it's discreet, doesn't get in the way of vision, and the data can be extracted easily. Fancier dash cams exist but it's all I need.
A 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.
AnonymousMO0SE 1.0I’ve had two of the Mini 2’s die on me, I don’t know why but they stopped recording and then wouldn’t sync unless I’d do a hard reset, then they’d crap out after a few weeks. Go with a full size one.
Apprehensive-Cycle-9 1.0I use the garmin mini 2 and the dongar adapter to power it from the mirror like this is. Seems like a decent option
armanipastrami_pdf 1.0I love mine. Its never given me issues
artemisfarkwire 1.0after looking and pricing and every thing else I went with the Garmin mini 2 , I bought one for the front and the back , not only did it pay for itself another nice thing is you Can ajust it , and to be fare when cleaning around it you may hit it and move it , but I found it to be nice when I got hit I just took the SIM card out rite there and when and down loaded all the info also whats a nice thing is you can take from one car to the next , I did have my hard wired but I can also unplug and use the other plug if need be to power it
I went down this same rabbit hole , I end up with the garmin mini dash cam2 , I bought one for the front and one for the rear , im not tech savvy and so each camera has its own SIM card , I got hit and I just took out the SIM card and had every recorded on it , they just simple works great , also got the install kit and it was like 50.00 to have it hard wired in , but if you want you could upland and take with you and use in other cars

AWierzOne 1.0About to say, I’ve had two for a long time and haven’t have a problem
