Dash Cam Mini 3

I have the Garmin mini 3 and siphon power from the mirror. Amazing camera quality, app, and UI. But it’s very discrete. If you want to have a dash cam used to scare people away then this ain’t it. It’s very small.

Got a 2016.5 CX5 about 2 months ago and I have done: - StartX remote starter (easy to install) - Apple Carplay/Android Auto USB hub installed (super easy to install as well) - Switched to LED interior lights - installed ambient lighting (hardwired. footlights and one strip on the dash. Kept it simple to not be too annoying) - Dashcam with dongcar adapter (Garmin mini 3) What I plan to do in the near future: - change brakes and rotors (need recs) - add OEM roof rails and cross bars - add a trailer hitch (need recs) The car is super easy to work with and install stuff on. I'm a first time car owner with little to no experience with hardware stuff at all (still don't know the difference between a socket vs ratchet wrench). So if I can do it then anyone can :D

Garmin mini 3 with power from the obd2 port running up the a pillar. Hides completely behind the rear view mirror and using their obd2 adapter there's no need to splice wires or run anything from the fuse box. Can't see the camera or any wires so I'm happy.

I use Garmin’s dash cam mini (ver 2 & 3) & a dongar adapter to tap into the rear view mirror’s power.

I have the same setup! I’m sure there are cameras that offer higher image quality but I didn’t want a screen on the back of the camera.

garmin mini 3 with the dongar cable. Tuck it up behind the passenger side of your rear view mirror and its basically invisible and runs in the background. Honestly forget i have it until I see questions like this come up in this sub haha

I have a Garmin mini 3 in mine. Decent image and barely noticeable in the window. Plus I can download footage to my phone quickly and easily

I have the Mini 3, and I have its usb power cable running down the driver side window trim, under the driver dash, under the mat and to the power plug in the arm rest, but I have a large USB battery pack its plugged into that'll keep the camera running for over 24 hours before dying with the car off so I get a little peace of mind while parked.
