I have the Vantrue E2 front and back dashcam. It’s pretty easy to install and plugs into your AC outlet (the plug also has a spare USB so you can still plug other stuff in). I ran the wires through the headliner so it looks clean. But they have so many available on Amazon and right now it’s Black Friday deals so you can score some nice price cuts. https://preview.redd.it/yi64ajq0fk2g1.jpeg?width=4284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8d3b19bd8bb4ede2805afc7f551f68e36db4fc0f
I have a Vantrue E2 that I moved from my 2013 Subaru to a 2025 Hyundai. One of the reasons I chose the Vantrue is that they have the option to connect via the OBD port rather than hardwiring to the fuse box. It has a voltage cutoff switch you can set to shut the camera down if the battery voltage drops below a set point. I've had it for maybe 3 years and have been pleased with it.
Ohh whoops, I have an E2 in my other car, not an E1 Pro
Io ho due vantrue e2 e mi sono trovato bene.
My son and I installed a Vantrue (available on Amzon) front/rear camera in his 2015. We found a couple videos on youtube for what needed to be removed (panels) and where to run power. We are using 12v, not a fuse to power the cam.

I have the same cam in my car and have been using it for 2+ years now. I previously bought an "auto trim tool kit" and a couple of those tools came in very handy. A very basic tool kit is available for under $7: [trim tools](https://www.amazon.com/GOOACC-Removal-No-Scratch-Dashboard-Dismantle/dp/B07V22YC9J/ref=sr_1_5?crid=1L66Q5QQ301VP&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.ry4HTuA0nsGth7uxsF9K9ES4TulhWLmXIOEbq9YYq65ubX0pcTYyttEHVnwk4w0E38oxK2WuJaw1SXBpdSsST0ZIwboPwON15_39xiwn--_FCZjnh-tgdbjhPuDP183hUAS4t7EbBNK5rX9oWUV50bUZVWr1cX93UnQnT_x0bQ0cvc_QGVk9J0mjZQyepYbs1YyCoQvrU5SVyvmFW03Zxc3WkjjaEi65Ck_J4DwkOm4PqQcfHupOCPaesZzZgidwaQHCR4INMcH4Cv7LGCWSqpjmSFTogKaxvBaRk7Z7RYI.Uicf9uQY6iwrsRt_3e5stIF2Edqic7W1WYOOTc7ey4E&dib_tag=se&keywords=car%2Btrim%2Btool%2Bkit&qid=1773248450&sprefix=car%2Btrim%2Btoo%2Caps%2C174&sr=8-5&th=1)
