Im on my 3rd Thinkware product. (I buy a new one for each new vehicle.) Just traded in my 2020 Honda Passport (it had the Thinkware U1000). Receiving my 2026 Passport Elite this afternoon at 3pm. Already ordered Thinkware U3000 from Amazon and should receive it this afternoon. I normally pay a local collision repair $100-200 to install the rear camera and hide the wires.
r/hondapassport • Dash Cam recommendations ->I also have a Pilot ('20). I will be installing a U3000. We have a U1000 in our Santa Fe.
r/dashcams • Best dash cam? ->My 2013 a35 came with every type of connectiion you can imagine, even for digital télé, but no aux. Had CarPlay retro installed and they used a USB to AUX. I had this done in RadioKing. As for my dashcam set up I went for a Thinkware u1000 Front & rear because I previously had a Nextbase that died within a year. Got the dashcams and fitting from Amir at [ICE](https://icesystems.ie/) absolute gents & very neat work.
r/carsireland • Adding a media interface to a 2010 Audi ->Here's a good video https://youtu.be/OWL5Um5Wi8s?si=zY04yshxKa2rWF41. I think I used this as a reference when I installed my Thinkware U1000.
r/rav4prime • Thinkware Dashcam install tutorial? ->I just installed Thinkware u1000 pro and I'm happy with it. It's $300 but 4K quality and does a really good job with reading the plates.
r/ecoboostmustang • Dashcam Recommendations? ->Got a thinkware U1000 front and rear camera hardwired. No issues with the eye sight.
r/Subaru_Outback • Dash cam reccomendation 2025 Outback ->I have my U1000 hardwired with parking mode radar. This device also tells me about red light camera's, mobile speed zones and speed cameras.
r/subaru • Dash cam people please let me know what your using and why? ->*"ambient" cabin lighting* *Looks like the bridge of a Klingon battlecruiser under attack* But as for dashcams, any Thinkware product is a decent choice. They have a pretty wide selection of front and rear cameras. The U1000 set has been working just fine for 5+ years in all conditions of a *semi-arid Köppen climate.*
r/Audi • Dash Cam Recommendations for 24’ SQ8 ->Got a Thinkware U1000 with front and rear hardwired in MK8.5. Works good for me.
r/Golf_R • Dashcam install and quality ->I would do that or the Thinkware U3000 or U1000 I just prefer the size and shape of the BlackVue. Both are top rated and can be transferred to any newer car you get pretty easily. I work at a dealer and we charge like 3hrs for install. But it could definitely be done by anyone with reasonable ability and time.
r/Volvo • I highly recommend the FITCAMX for anyone looking for a dashcam. Very easy installation that looks 100% OEM. Great 4K video quality too. ->I just had installed a Powercell 8 to power my Thinkware U1000 two channel dash cam. The external battery takes the load off of the 12V.
r/MachE • Dash Cam ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
