"30 minute job, easy."
"VIOFO VS1 Mini. ... I used a Custom 10-pin adapter from Dongar (contact them), this Dash Cam Kit, and this 256GB SD Card. ... I also used this shorter right-angled 90-degree USB-C to USB-A cable. ... The rest was just cable management."
"I used a donger mirror tap for an easy install"

"Love the mini ... Ran the cord along the top, behind the weather stripping of the passenger door, through the side, behind the gloves box and down through a hole beneath the radio but above the usb ports (there’s a light in higher trims but it’s just a hole). I used the supplied adapter."

"I wanted something minimalist, as I didn’t like the idea of a cable running across my dashboard. ... Technically, it’s not visible."

"get the one with the lense add-on for clearer nightime recording"
"the starvis 2 sensor this has is great. I have both the older and newer viofo units, and the starvis 2 definitely makes a difference compared to the previous gen."

"I made the mistake of only getting a front mounted viofo vs1. ... For this car I really recommend getting a cam with a separate front and rear cam, that way you can position the rear cam properly. ... This car is tiny and ppl just dont see it, especially since everyone is on their phones :/"
"no rear camera"
"no rear camera or park monitoring"
