I have two 2019 CX-5s. I bought this for my daughter’s car. It is pretty good and helped when she was rear ended. It doesn’t obstruct your view and it was easy to hook up to sunroof. The only downside was I had to reach out to the manufacturer to get a different power adapter. They did send it quickly and free of charge.[CX-5 dash cam](https://a.co/d/9wG4z7j)
My wife bought me the Mangoal camera on Amazon that integrates into the cx-5 sunroof. I really love it. Install wasn't too painful and it just works well. Good quality video too. It's already captured much needed recordings. Parking mode is a must. It looks like Mazda built it. I'd recommend it to anyone.
I got the Mangoal product, it looks like there's a couple or few makers of this type of dashcam for the CX5
Yep, that sounds about right. The only second take I had was when plugging in the harness adapter back to the sunroof power plug, the provided plug sits out further than the OEM factory plug so I thought I wasn't sitting in the plug receiver all the way but it was.
I had to run it behind the rubber grommet on the trunk door and didn't crack open the plastic housing on the window, hence it has the extra cable exposed. It was pretty easy to do, I followed the installation video on youtube and it installed exactly as they did it. This is the install video for sunroof versions - [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvmU6qJXqM0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvmU6qJXqM0) This is the rear camera install video - [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdVXYONLOZ4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdVXYONLOZ4) You can connect to the camera via wifi which shows up as a wifi connection on the phone when the app is open. It's pretty easy to view and download videos via the app, since it is downloading the video over wifi it's not the quickest but works in a pinch. Other option is to take the memory card out and view the files on a computer. They claim 4k quality on the forward looking camera but I find it to be 1080p+ with an extra wide viewing area. It does the job decently but doesn't seem to be true 4k. The rear camera is spec'd at 1080p and it looks fine at that quality.
I have the mangoal 4k dashcam for my s550 and its worked well. Hides behind the rear view so cant even tell one is installed. I went this way because I have a convertible and I leave the top down about 99% of the time. Picked it up from Amazon and it was an easy install.
I got the mangoal custom fit from Amazon. Seamless install. Looks factory. Very happy with it.
I have the Mangoal 4K that looks like it came from the factory already installed. I also installed one in my wifes car as well. This looks neat no wires uses the auto dim power on rear view mirror to power the camera.
