Top-tier video, reliable evidence, but app struggles.

Nice CX-5 ..enjoy! Looks like the top Signature trim too with nappa leather - very nice! But that's no 2026 that being released practically everywhere else so why I wanted to clarify. Which is a good thing as you'll have plenty of readily accessible accessories to choose for it. I'd start with the rubber/all-weather floor mats from Mazda, and the cargo retractable cover to keep your cargo area private. If you don't like the rubber mats, check out [TuxMats](https://www.tuxmat.com/products/8360-mazda-cx-5-custom-mat?variant=43282579783740&year=2025) from Canada. For dash camera, anything [VIOFO](https://www.viofo.com/collections/2-channel-front-rear) makes great dash cameras. See r/Dashcam for their advice and discussion as well. A great one is the A329 and A229 Ultra or Pro if that fits your budget - I prefer the 2-cameras kit for the rear view too as too many times accidents are occuring from the rear to capture. If you're handy and DIY, you can apply a ceramic coating as well to make washing quicker, or go with a [spray on ceramic coating](https://www.amazon.ae/Turtle-Wax-53409-SOLUTIONS-CERAMIC/dp/B07XYPS3PS/) which lasts about 9 months for me. You can install a [car starter](https://www.amazon.ae/Start-X-Starter-2014-18-2014-21-Vehicles/dp/B08XYF618C/) where using the mazda keyfob (pressing Lock 3x) you can start the engine without paying for Mazda's Connect monthly fees.
I have the Viofo A329 2 channel. Love it.
https://www.viofo.com/products/viofo-a329s-2ch-4k-60fps-2k-hdr-dash-cam-with-sony-starvis-2-sensor This is the one we have for our XC90 and XC60
I've personally bought the [VIOFO A329SW 2CH](https://www.viofo.com/products/viofo-a329sw-2ch-4k-60fps-2k-waterproof-rear-camera-with-sony-starvis-2-sensor?variant=41717296398399). with a 512gb sd card. So far, happy about it. The rear cam is above the licence plate, right of the EU speck rear camera.
If you want a single, reliable front+rear cam that balances price, image quality and night performance, I’d go with the [VIOFO A329S](https://amzn.to/3IKpkJS) (dual-channel). It has Sony STARVIS sensors, great low-light footage, and solid community rep for reliability. If you want more coverage (front + interior + rear) look at the [Vantrue N4](https://amzn.to/4mTCxOD) series.
VIOFO A329 2Ch has been pretty good
