I have had a Blackvue 900X in my 2022 ORP and love it. Rear view came in handy a few months ago. Check my post history in r/dashcams.

I've had a Blackvue DR900X 2-channel (front and rear) for years. Had it hardwired into my M235i, pulled it out when I traded that in for my i4, and have been using it in the i4 for almost 3 years. I haven't hardwired it in to the i4 because I've been super lazy so I've only been using the front camera, and the 12v outlet. Whatever I get when this lease ends in May next year will get it hardwired in front and rear again. The picture quality is great, and although I used to really hate the app, they have made improvements recently that have made it better. I've also heard great things about Viofo dashcams, but have never used one.

I have a blackvue. Works great

The DR900X. Had it on my previous vehicle. Was a little bit of a PIA to fish the cable down the a pillar but once I got to where the wiring harness runs along the bottom of the jam, it was pretty easy to fish it all the way to the back to hook up the rear cam.

I bought a used BlackVue off of eBay (so slightly more affordable, but still expensive) and it’s been doing great in the heat. Have been running it for 3 years. DR900X

I’m running the BlackVue 900X 2 channel running on a external battery so that it will continue to record while it’s parked. 4k front video & 1080p rear

I have it wire to an external battery. The external battery only pulls power from the car when I drive. When in park mode the dash cam will run & pull power off the external battery. Once the external battery dies the dash cam will just stop recording. My memory chip is 125 so the camera will rewrite over the older footage after about 11 hours

Dongar mirror adapter makes it cake, I just went with the garmin 67w, works great. Did a blackvue DR900x in the wife’s car and it’s great! For the price difference and easy install I’m happy with the garmin.
