FITCAMX - Integrated / Universal Series

Get the fitcamx for ev6, it will look factory. Plenty of coupon codes out there too, like techjeff

Mine is installed with parking mode. I've done two different installation setups, but the first wiring setup I had used their OBD port adapter, which was simple to install and worked well. Thus far, I've had my FitCamX installed for roughly 18 months and have had no issues with battery drain.

If you're going to go to the trouble of running a rear camera with the bit of trim removal required there, it's really not much more work to snake a cable down the A-pillar to the OBD port. The A-pillar trim's clips are kind of weird - worth looking up a video on how they go back in place - it's not obvious, but once you know the trick it's no big deal. I figure I'd rather have a recording if someone bonks into my car in a parking lot than kick myself later because I didn't want to spend the extra 15 minutes to have parking mode.

I haven't really tested it to see how fast it kicks on after registering an event. I do see a few recordings on the SD card that would have come from parking mode, so it does seem it's working. Even if it takes a second or two to come on, it might still capture a license plate number or something useful. For me, that's worth the very slight amount of faff to hook up the OBD adapter.

FITCAMX has been great for me. I went with the front and rear. The rear camera took maybe 20 minutes to route and looks professional. No problems since.

https://fitcamx.com/products/fitcamx-dash-cam-for-all-toyota Here it is! They ask for your VIN as well as a picture of your mirror setup before they ship so they can send you the correct part. It was pretty painless.

Not particularly “easy”depending on your vehicle and how handy you are. It will take substantially longer than just 2 garmin cameras. We have the fitcamx front only. I decided against a rear view.

I second this. Have one on the Bronco and our Tahoe!!

[This is all you need. 10 minutes to install.](https://www.amazon.com/Fitcamx-4K-Suitable-Recording-G-Sensor/dp/B096TQ98P9/)

I have the 4K model, have no issues with it. License plates are obviously dependent on many things... lighting, angle, etc.

I bought this one last year. Works great and can't even notice it. Instal took about 45 minutes. I usually take a long time to instal / set things up. There's youtube videos on how to instal it into an id.4. [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09J2NNSDW?ref\_=ppx\_hzsearch\_conn\_dt\_b\_fed\_asin\_title\_1&th=1](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09J2NNSDW?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1&th=1)

So far I’ve been really happy with the FITCAMX. Mounts so easily and hides well. And the adapter makes powering it super easy! [https://a.co/d/2n1oyxb](https://a.co/d/2n1oyxb)

I bought a FitcamX and it’s totally integrated with the rear view mirror. you’d never know it was there. really impressed.

https://fitcamx.com/products/fitcamx-dash-cam-for-hyundai-santa-fe-2024-2025-rear-mirror-cover-part-number-96030-p6000 i have a 25 hybrid calligraphy (with video rear view monitor) and you just swap out the plastic case for the one they send you. works great and totally invisible — no cables visible etc

Highly recommend the Fitcamx, it's easy to install, no dangling wires, looks more OEM than anything else, including what Toyota offers for way more money.

Sadly the dashcam you referenced isn't any better, pretty much all dashcams have the same or similar video quality: [All Dashcams Are Virtually The Same](https://www.carscoops.com/2022/08/ignore-the-amazon-reviews-all-dashcams-are-virtually-the-same/) Interestingly you're referencing a "review" site for the FitcamX, with only 16 reviews. I understand that the Fitcamx isn't perfect, but it has been a perfect match for my priorities and still happy with it 30 months after purchasing. On Amazon, for the exact model I installed in my RAV4 Prime: [Link](https://a.co/d/e6dC1x6) 4.1 stars and 350+ Reviews Customers say Customers like the ease of installation, picture quality, and look of the onboard camera. They mention it's super easy to install and looks factory. Some appreciate the fast files transfer. However, some dislike the app quality. Opinions are mixed on functionality, fit, connectivity, and download speed.

Love our Fitcamx, it's been great since we installed it nearly 30 months ago. What I love most about it, I totally forget it's there until I need it. Nothing stuck on my windshield, no suction cups or double l+sided tape, nothing tempting to steal for anyone walking by when parked on the street, 99% of the population would have no idea I have a dashcam if we're ever in an incident. Just be sure to upgrade the memory card from the cheap generic one, to something designed for constant writing and rewriting like dashcams and security cameras. We've been using a SanDisk High Endurance card since day one.

I've owned our R4P for nearly 3 years and installed a Fitcamx shortly after receiving the vehicle, my thoughts below: Pros: * Plug and play convenience * Completely out of sight and out of mind until needed, looks like an OEM sensor * No wires dangling Cons: * Average picture - pretty good during the day, oversaturation at night might prevent LIC plates from being readable - this is a great YT vid showing picture quality: [Link ](https://youtu.be/UZrd7uc7iXM?si=iQjW2-7kIi48QPOJ) * Included micro SD card is junk, highly recommend upgrading to a high quality "endurance" card - I did this and haven't had any memory issues

I ordered one for my mk7.5, I was going to install it but they sent me a version where it doesn’t connect to the upper panel. The cable they sent along with the camera appeared wrong. Anyone have this experience? I’m thinking of just sending it back or calling customer support about it

This. I just put one in my '25 and it is great, blends in. I stuck the rear camera right next to it - did not run the cable back. Since I removed my rear headrests, it sees plenty. 3rd FitcamX ive had, customer service is great too.

I installed this one and it is great, https://fitcamx.com/products/fitcamx-dash-cam-for-2023-2024-acura-integra. Same issue with wireless and CarPlay but honestly I only connect the app to configure the camera. Video download is slow so I just pop the MicroSD card out and get at the video on my iPad or laptop.

I purchased the FITCAMX dash cams for my 2024 Integra Type S and 2023 MDX A-Spec and am happy with them. Love the integration into the car so that they are basically not seen. Installation for the MDX was about 5 minutes, ITS took a bit longer because I had to pull out more trim to get the power connected. Although the page shows it is for the TLX 2012-2023 the link implies the 2024 is also covered, if in question I would email and ask. [https://fitcamx.com/collections/for-acura/products/fitcamx-dash-cam-for-acura-tlx-2021-2024](https://fitcamx.com/collections/for-acura/products/fitcamx-dash-cam-for-acura-tlx-2021-2024)

As with any dashcam, the app on the phone kind of stinks and is slow downloading. For the most part I just connected after install to configure my options on the dashcam and if I want to view any video I just pop the microSD card out and use the supplied card reader to view on my laptop or iPad. Works fine.

I just installed the FitcamX on my 19 C43 coupe and it works great. Best thing about it is the OEM look. It replaces the rearview mirror housing with the company's housing that has a 4k camera integrated to it and plugs in directly into the rain sensor for power. It doesn't have GPS but provides a time stamp and has an app with it. [https://fitcamx.com/collections/mercedes-benz/products/fitcamx-dashcam-for-mercedes-benz-glc-c-class](https://fitcamx.com/collections/mercedes-benz/products/fitcamx-dashcam-for-mercedes-benz-glc-c-class)

I have it for my 2022. It’s a bit finicky at times. Doesn’t auto connect most times. I have to open it and connect via the app

Honestly, idk. I really like the OEM look it provides, and when it’s connected, I have no complaints. I’m just disappointed it doesn’t do exactly what it’s supposed to do

Does the kit come with those plastic pry bars? Im about to buy this!

Awesome, I bought it and took a guess on the polarized lens. They really need to be more clear on that. Chat wasnt working.

I just got one of these for my 2024 preferred. Quality is great, and install was super easy.

No, the 2024 is slightly different. [Link Here](https://fitcamx.com/products/fitcamx-dash-cam-for-mazda3-2024)

https://fitcamx.com/products/fitcamx-dash-cam-for-porsche Love mine.

Mirror powered? You mean Fitcam? They absolutely have it as an option on their site. I’ve got one. The calligraphy version is powered by rain sensor though, but it works well and don’t have to rely on any cords like this. That’s the positive.

It’s a full kit, so it’s their cam. If just front cam there is no wire left out. If you get rear cam, then it plugs into the camera wire inside the rear view mirror cover and you just run the cord inside the headliner along the edge to the rear. I didn’t get the parking kit, they do have one, if you do that it runs down the a pillar to the fuse box. I only did front and rear so far. https://imgur.com/a/sLvfls4

https://fitcamx.com/products/fitcamx-dash-cam-for-hyundai-palisade-facelift-2023-2024

FitcamX sells a harness to allow what OP is asking. My FitcamX is wired to my fuse box.

FitcamX for Tacoma integrates into the rear view mirror housing so it’s completely undetectable & hidden. Front 4k , Rear 1080p and grabs power from rear view mirror . If you want it to work when truck is off then use the optional harness to fusebox for power . App / WiFi is simple to use. Only semi involved part is wiring the rear facing camera if you get that option . I love that you can’t see anything hanging down so it’s completely stealth. Amazon has it , I forgot how to add link . Edit : just read again you have a 2017 , so this may not work as it’s for 2018 and up.

Yes, and it has paid for itself 3x over already!

Wish I had known that sooner, it would have paid for itself 6x over now.

Yep have it on the MK8. I had an absolute pain trying to fit it. Well more, taking off the mirror

Got mine and very happy with it , flush fit, good recording . I only did front install , since it was a DIY and didn’t want to run wires through the car on my own

I bought the FitCamX integrated dashcam and I love it. https://youtu.be/EnJKsU3bj_M?si=EHiHrBC3-0bHHmqp

I have a fitcamx for front and a rearview mirror for rear. It connects via a dongle to the fitcamx, and I hid the cable for the rear camera over the doors... It's perfect and everything seems OEM

Fitcamx for front + WOLFBOX digital mirror + WOLFBOX mount ( to get a rear digital camera and a digital rearview mirror...it also comes with a front camera, but the angle it is on makes it unusable)

Get WOLFBOX digital mirror https://a.co/d/9Ck4j8A WOLFBOX mount https://a.co/d/3hpq9dP That s what I did ...fitcamx from front

In our 2024 ultimate, we have: WOLFBOX digital mirror https://a.co/d/9Ck4j8A WOLFBOX mount https://a.co/d/3hpq9dP Used a digital mirror and rear dashcam Fitcamx https://a.co/d/7uMHRPx used for front dashcam Dongar https://a.co/d/fZ4e5zl to connect them from the rear view mirror connector.

First you have to connect your phone to the fitcamx WiFi and then lunch the app.. Works fin in both our Kona ev ultimate 2024 and I5 2024 ultimate

I've got the fitcamx. Got in June of 23. It's decent and pretty good resolution. My only gripe is that the internal battery is dead, so all the files start with a December 2022 timestamp.

FitcamX is nice (it's what I have) but keep in mind you won't be able to install the comma3x if you're ever interested in that. The comma has to be mounted in a way that basically blocks the fitcamX. I have had some firmware issues with the fitcamX not wanting to do loop recording on larger SD cards. If you use the one it comes with it should be fine.

I have this. It lasted about 5 months and the front camera started going on the fritz. They are sending me a replacement though; their customer service seems decent. Pros: * Good video quality during day, decent at night. Day quality is similar to my old Viofo A119C V3, night maybe slightly worse. * Looks 'factory' (at least the front cam). Everyone who's seen it has thought it was part of the car and came that way from Kia. * Turns on with the car and turns off when the car is off (no 12v drain possibility) * Has an app to download video so you don't need to remove SD card. * Audio recording quality is decent. * Very easy to install (at least the front cam is, rear cam you gotta run the wire and that's a little annoying but not nearly as annoying as having to hardwire a regular dash cam). * Angle on both cameras seems to be decently wide enough to capture any major events unless someone comes at you directly from the side of your car. Cons: * Not true 4k. Sensor is slightly above 2k resolution. "4k" is interpolated, so just save the SD card space and record at 2k. App lets you choose. * You really need to get the polarizing lens filter to avoid dash glare. Honestly, same with the rear cam too, it really needs a polarizing lens filter due to the aggressive slope of the rear glass * Wi-Fi transfer speed of video from the camera via the app is SLOW. * No parking mode (this is due to the nature of the plug and play installation, the mirror is not powered when the car is off so there is no possibility of parking mode) * Firmware updates are not posted online and you have to contact customer service to obtain them, and they don't seem to want to give them to you unless you have a problem that troubleshooting doesn't solve. * No GPS (so it does not automatically set date/time but instead gets it from your phone). There is a small internal battery that keeps track of time that will eventually die after 1-3 years. If this battery dies, the date/time will reset to default every time the camera powers on. Until recently, this battery was soldered and replacing it sucked. Apparently on the latest versions of the hardware it's not soldered and is easier to replace. * The fixed angle of the camera seems to be pointed slightly higher than the ideal position. This is a bit nitpicky, but since the horizon is a little below the 50% horizontal point it can sometimes affect exposure due to too much bright sky in the video. It's not so far off that it's a major issue, just any previous dashcam I've had I always aimed it so that the horizon was about 40% down from the top as this is generally considered to be the best practice. This one is about 55%-60% down. I know it's not just my camera because TechnicallyJeff's video examples are exactly the same.

Fitcamx for third gen’s, since it’s a perfectly flush mount and recording quality is really good.

Idk if you have moon/sun roof, but I just got one from [FITCAMX](https://fitcamx.com/collections/for-mazda/products/dash-cam-for-mazda3) Install was super easy, looks seamless in the car, and has worked so far. (Granted it’s only been a couple weeks)

Yeah as long as you have the moonroof it’s surprisingly painless to install. I just love that it looks so low profile

You don’t actually need a hotspot at all! It automatically turns on when you drive, and records to a micro SD card on the side. You just need to connect to the “WiFi” signal it gives off to download the videos to your phone if you ever need it. My model also has a parking mode, so if it senses any disturbance or motion while in park it turns on for 3-5 minutes also.

Np. Just make sure you get the right model and wiring system that works for your cars specific model, they have good guides on the website

I second this, I personally installed in my 2023 XLT. I don't use the actual FitCamX app because it does interfere a little with CarPlay/Android Auto. Not using the App is not an issue for me because I have a little SD Card reader that plugs into my phone and I can view the footage there. The quality of the footage is really good too unlike other "4k" dashcams

3rd gen with the FitcamX, I love how it integrates and you don't even know it's there

I have it. Better to go with Fitcam since there is some sort of warranty atleast. My first unit, the recording was getting cut off intermittently and they tried to fix it via FW upgrade and ended up sending me a new unit. Don't think AliExpress sellers would do that.

This one is an easy install. You can check some forums and see if this will work with the 2025.

Front camera is easy to install. Picture quality could be better. I recommend getting the model with the rear camera initially as it’s not that much more dollars and you can’t upgrade later. I installed the front myself and paid a car stereo store $50 to install the back camera. The lights are annoying at night they blink red and blue. I heard of a firmware update to fix this but FITCAMX support said no. This was fixed with a piece of black electrical tape. Overall I’d give the setup a 7/10. It’s very clean looking and easy to install but the camera quality could be a bit better.

Strange, I got one for my 2019. Works perfectly. Edit: here it is for the 2018-2019 https://fitcamx.com/products/fitcamx-dash-cam-for-all-toyota?variant=39781011226796

I installed the [Fitcamx dashcam](https://fitcamx.com/products/fitcamx-dash-cam-for-honda-hr-v-2023-3rd-gen) this morning. It has good quality video, and looks stock.

You want the 6501 one. [I bought from amazon](https://a.co/d/55SQLol), and I’m seeing a 5% off coupon, and then another 5% if you have their credit card.

It was easier than I expected, and [I followed this install video](https://youtu.be/W3bnqkae9pY). I did run into an issue at the end where the camera housing wouldn’t clip in, but a comment on the video mentioned the same issue, and using sandpaper to slightly sand down the nub. That fixed it immediately and all was good.

Don’t know what year or model you have. I bought this one and have been happy. Especially with fit and finish. https://www.vivaperformance.com/plug-play-integrated-dash-cam-spa-volvo-xc60-s90-v90-up-to-my2021/

FitCamX is prob the best dash cam for a 23/24 HRV! it’s OEM and fits nicely into the dash without any complicated installation. use this link: [FitCamX Honda HRV 2023](https://fitcamx.com/?sca_ref=6668674.4YgRVzCSpf)

I did both front and back in under an hour or so. If you have the front one only i don’t think they have an option to connect the back one but if you bought the one including the rear hiding the wire underneath the rubber edges on the car helped it look clean and tidy

Not as good as Thinkware or BlackVue, but the best for me: [https://fitcamx.com/collections/honda-civic/products/fitcamx-dash-cam-for-honda-ridgeline-2017-2025?variant=43954083201196](https://fitcamx.com/collections/honda-civic/products/fitcamx-dash-cam-for-honda-ridgeline-2017-2025?variant=43954083201196) [https://dashcamtalk.com](https://dashcamtalk.com) is an awesome resource for dashcams as well.

I have the Toyota integrated dash cam installed on my ‘23 plat. I’m happy with it. It was installed by the dealer and it looks right in place with the other stuff near the rear view mirror. The video quality is ok for both night and day. It’s enough to get the job done in case I need it. I hate the app, it’s slow and clunky. It takes about 3-4 minutes to download a video. The camera takes videos in two minute increments. It’s kind of expensive. For the camera and install, I think we paid about $500. After market stuff is probably better, but I wanted it to look nice and not have to worry about having cables all over the place. I wasn’t going to attempt to install it myself, I’m terrible at do it yourself stuff.

FitcamX is the one I've been rocking since I bought it. I have the front and rear camera version: [https://fitcamx.com/collections/for-ford-lincoln/products/fitcamx-dash-cam-for-ford-f-150-f-150-raptor?sca\_ref=2534871.MXsQTNhrUZ](https://fitcamx.com/collections/for-ford-lincoln/products/fitcamx-dash-cam-for-ford-f-150-f-150-raptor?sca_ref=2534871.MXsQTNhrUZ)

As the owner of a FitCam, stay away. Fitment is great, actual hardware is garbage.

Pretty sure it was the Texas heat that killed my first fitcam. Replacement has survived (so far). The Fitcam was too expensive for what it is.

I installed it for my 2025 CRV ST. The piggy back harness is nice and made installation easy and straightforward. The thing that is annoying is when you’re using the FitCamX app to connect to the camera, it constantly drops that WiFi connection to connect to the CRV’s WiFi for wireless CarPlay. Also when you’re viewing the live video through the app, it doesn’t record at the same time. Once you stop live viewing, will it resume recording. Also no GPS. Not a big deal for me though. You can get the camera from Amazon for $99 for a refurbished model.

Yeah the manual mentions 128gb max but I didn’t know and ordered a 256gb one from Amazon at the same time when ordering the camera. Works just fine.

Just installed in my XC40, love it! I bought directly from Fitcamx, has not interfered with Android car play, took 15 min to install & running. I was told buying from the site directly gets you a cam with any updates vs older cam I put in an endurance Sim card vs the one that comes with cam.

Front only. Working well.

Fitcam install was very easy, I only have a front cam. So clean looking.

Search FitCamX with your model and year on Amazon. Mine has a front and rear facing camera. My buddy is a car guy and helped me with it though, I never would have been able to. Ran the cable under the upholstery an through the door pillars for the rear camera. It replaces the black rear view housing. I’m 4K front and 1080p back. Looks completely factory. Edit: It plugs into your rear view mirror power. No wires show at all.

I have a FitcamX for my RX and it is great. Replaced the black rear view mirror housing. I got 4K in the front and 1080 in the back. Have a buddy that knows how to install stuff like that though. It runs a wire through your entire car if you get the back as well. But the front anyone could install. Look it up on Amazon, type in year and model, they are made for each car specifically.

If you want a cam that looks OEM, I just installed the Fitcamx front and rear.

It’s easy to install with the included rear view mirror adapter and looks OEM for the front. It’s a good cam for set it and forget it and only pull footage when you need to. With 4k resolution on for front you can read license plates. I’m sure there are other cams with better quality but probably are double the price and won’t be integrated like fitcamx.

Replaces it

Fitcamx, easy to install, looks OEM. I also ran the wire for the rear cam pretty easily behind the headliner and around the doors. DM me if you need any help.

Got this as well. Works perfectly

You said that right! Only down side of Ali express is that shipping might be longer (no Prime delivery 😉) but worth it. I waited around 1 month or 1 1/2. I got one for my XC60 T8 and works like a charm. Many friends thought it was OEM and that’s the goal I wanted. 😂

Note that you can get the exact same camera under many different brand names from AliExpress for half the price. I got this one for my Polestar 2, but you can find the model that fits an XC60. The dashcam works with the fitcamx software. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804776980711.html?spm=a2g0n.order_detail.order_detail_item.2.2a08f19czLjQ7O&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa

My 128GB SD card filled up and it's still recording. Fingers crossed. If I remember, I'll report back in a week or two.

Bought one for '21 XC90 because of someone posting here. No more cables and no more falling off the windshield.

Didn't tap into fuse box because I didn't care about parking mode. Driving in my city is like driving in Mad Max and I really only care about collisions. Of course, someone will hit and run me while I'm parked now.

I installed a Fitcamx in our 2025 Sport Touring. Looks totally OEM and my wife doesn't even realize there's a dashcam there https://fitcamx.com/products/fitcamx-dash-cam-for-honda-cr-v-2023-6th-gen?_pos=2&_sid=86980ff05&_ss=r

Super easy to install with a little patience and a trim remover tool (that comes with the dashcam). Here's a video that shows installation in a 25 CR-V: https://youtu.be/UawAZqYe__4

I use a FitCamX on my Crown and love it. It looks more OEM than the OEM and the recording quality is better than just about any other dashcam that I’ve seen.

FITCAMX, they look more OEM than the OEM. They replace the cover for the safety sense Camera behind the rear view mirror and are super stealth. They plug into the existing wiring, too, so it’s SUPER clean. I’ve got the 4K camera in my crown and I love it. [FITCAMX Toyota Camry](https://fitcamx.com/products/fitcamx-dash-cam-for-all-toyota?variant=39781010210988)

I have one. Great for services as the techs don’t unplug it

Yes I have it on my golf for a few years now.

I have a FITCAMX on my 23 SE, it was super easy to install but it doesn’t have GPS info like speed, you have to turn off CarPlay on your phone before you can connect to the camera — I ended up just taking the mini sd card out and transfer to my laptop Ease of install 9 Features 5 Image Quality 5

I just installed the FITCAMX, it wasn’t difficult to install either and it looks oem. No need to cut wires, but the only downside is that it connects to the camera above your rear view mirror so it will only run when your car is on. I think there’s a version that you can wire to your battery or something else to have it run while your car is off to record if someone hits your car.

This is the one I bought. https://a.co/d/i7xBB6B I opted for the 4k front and 1080p in the back. The 4k is not the best tbh and I haven’t set up the rear cam yet.

Fits in under rear view mirror https://www.amazon.com/Fitcamx-Suitable-2019-2021-2021-2024-Recording/dp/B096LPGQL2/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?crid=3I756EP7J1B8J&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.7p993vewR1OGjTDFU5a-CrAnhvVOnN1qqcx9WQfZOUBBmQf8S3K2I4h59-fHqTMn7qZbB1lyUN_-cIXnv2uvDKMY0ZKHREqBreyKB1bgFS-EjLEJwrR85nSNRyvIoAFtIJbjwh606vqCWChwjpXOcATAiPQq0QuQuk9Ew4nHVZ2tkbbKZ5D_BZzAh_2SgFa7xzqWbV5FmbzJXtC7yWHj4A.KxYNg-r-IH4jO5efhOXRUvnc-geAqkHxDfqoPwaSqv0&dib_tag=se&keywords=rav4+dash+cam&qid=1738173508&sprefix=rav4+dash%2Caps%2C242&sr=8-4#aw-udpv3-customer-reviews_feature_div

That's what I went with - You can't even tell its there

https://fitcamx.com/ Just installed this on my wife’s pilot

I was able to install the linked dash cam in about 10 minutes. I don’t remember needing any tools. It looks like part of the car and has no exposed wires. You can go into the app and increase the resolution to 4K once it’s installed. I’d also consider a ‘high endurance’ micro SD card from a reputable brand like Samsung or SanDisk. This camera can take a 128GB micro SD card even though the one that it comes with is smaller. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B1V4BZ3Z?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

You might be interested in this custom fitted cam from Fitcamx. You can get both front and rear. If you want only a front cam, it installs taking power from the rain sensor in the rear view mirror. https://fitcamx.com/collections/integrated-dash-cams/products/fitcamx-dash-cam-for-bmw-mini-clubman-one-countryman-cooper-f54-f55-f56-f57-f60?variant=39781015322796 https://youtu.be/UXmGcypuSKg?si=nT1ixoHITlDsXB-z

A front cam is definitely better than nothing. The front install is simple but they don’t sell the rear cam separately, I think, because the rain sensor can’t power both of them. I should have gone with the front and rear combo but didn’t want to mess with any other wiring at the time.

The front drops to 2K because you’re now recording 2 cams.

That’s up to you to decide.

After watching a couple of YouTube reviews, I purchased a front only camera off Ali Express. As far as I can tell, it's exactly the same as the fitcamx sold on Amazon except it's half the price. All components are the same down to the green connectors. Even came with the same little plastic tool. I followed someone's fitcamx install video and it took maybe 15 minutes to do. The only difference is the app as it's a random 3rd party app and not the official fitcamx app. I've never had to use the app. If I want to view my footage, I simply take out the micro SD card and upload it to my laptop. I've had it for a few months and so far no issues. The camera will overwrite old footage once the card is full but I think all cameras do this so having one is very low maintenance.

Check out www.fitcamX.com It looks like the OEM dash cam, it has 4K resolution. I have one and it think the resolution is very good. I can clearly read license plate numbers.

If you want simple, get a FitcamX. It doesn't get any easier than that. Plugs right into the mirror harness and looks completely stock. [https://fitcamx.com/collections/for-kia/products/fitcamx-dash-cam-for-2022-2023-kia-ev6-kia-ev6-gt](https://fitcamx.com/collections/for-kia/products/fitcamx-dash-cam-for-2022-2023-kia-ev6-kia-ev6-gt) (FYI, I have a Viofo in a different car and it is an excellent camera!)

I got the fitcamx installed in my 2023 kia sportage. It's an OEM cam and plugs into the dimming mirror slot. https://fitcamx.com/collections/for-kia/products/fitcamx-dash-cam-for-kia-sportage-5th-gen

Then it’ll be great. One of my neighbors has one and has had an excellent experience. Fits like it came from the factory and the app is fine. My son though had a different experience. He has a base model ‘22. No dimming mirror. Their ads very clearly say base model is supported. It’s not. Ended up getting something else instead.

Agreed. I have to say I really liked the idea of the fitxcam. Looks OEM - when I emailed them to see if there was another dongle or other way I could power it they wanted to see pictures. In the base model under that little box is a rain sensor which is powered so they wanted to know the connector model type, and we’re going to build me a custom connector. The customer service was great. But then they started to ask me to break out a multimeter and test some of the wires for them. Sorry, I’m not your research team. I ultimately returned it. That said - great customer service.

Another vote for FitcamX, ‘21 HyHi.

Really? Damn never heard of that. Have had it for 6 months and one of my best mods yet

Fitcam-X, best OEM/stealth look! [https://fitcamx.com/products/fitcamx-dash-cam-for-bmw-mini-clubman-one-countryman-cooper-f54-f55-f56-f57-f60?\_pos=1&\_psq=MINI+F56&\_ss=e&\_v=1.0](https://fitcamx.com/products/fitcamx-dash-cam-for-bmw-mini-clubman-one-countryman-cooper-f54-f55-f56-f57-f60?_pos=1&_psq=MINI+F56&_ss=e&_v=1.0)

Just installed the fitcamx on mine. It works in terms of recording and such. I'm working with them right now cause wifi disconnects after 1 minute when you try to connect from your phone to the dash. Although it's a feature I don't really need besides doing initial settings.

Here is the footage: https://youtu.be/QVQoRVC4CTk?si=HjaT238YrfglhH5w The YouTube video makes it blurrier than it actually is. Sorry about the outside pics, I applied rainX on the windows so it’s very reflective.

Not too bad for the front, just wire it to the done light power. Routing in the back requires removing 5 pieces of plastic trims and a bit of the headliner

The trick is to use wired CarPlay before you connect to the camera WiFi

I think the dealer has to prove that your modification caused any issues with your car to void your warrantee. And to my understanding, it only affects the warranty on items they can prove was affected by your modifications. They can can’t void your engine warranty if you installed new headlights, etc. I would definitely double check though since I could be wrong. The only thing this dash cam required was for me to plug my power source to the dome light power. Don’t think that’s on the same level as an engine tuning or new intakes.

The camera will record when it’s powered on. I don’t really bother with the app unless it is it change settings. If you want to connect to the camera through the app, it’s best to use wired CarPlay/ android auto. Otherwise, your phone will constantly try to connect to the car. Lucky, I have not gotten a chance to really use park mode since people have not been hitting my car. I do appreciate that it’s there, though.

The SD can be buggy, I found it becomes more reliable with a 32Gb card. It will override older video clips.

I purchased the FITCAMX also and love it.

The difference btw the aliexpress and fitcamx (despite looking identical) is that the ones from aliexpress stops recording after a few weeks whereas the fitcamx doesn't. Reformating the sdcard using a PC appears to fix it but the recording stops again after a few weeks. disclaimer: I have bot.

It usually happens right around when the card fills up. Sometimes it will take a while even after the card fills up to stop recording. I even formated the card using fat32 tool to be sure. I've had to constantly check the recordings to be sure they are there (that's a lot kf brain power for something i am relying on). There has been several times when something happened and I went to check and there's no recording because it stopped. The whole purpose of a dashcam is to loop record and to provide an additional witness. I have had one from aliexpress since last summer and I'm waiting for the replacement fitcamx to arrive this week so I can replace it. The fitcamx isn't perfect by any means but it's reliable when it comes to loop recording. I also have the fitcam in my other vehicle and it has been rock solid (save for the known date/time / cmos battery issue around the 2 yr mark).

It'll record for a while even when it is filled. At random, mine will just stop. Also, I received my fitcamx and installed it over the weekend. I compared them and there's definitely small difference here and there. Keep checking the recordings and I'm hoping you don't have the issue as I did. Either way, it was infuriating to have to keep an eye on it.

I just got this today and am watching the install video. I really love how integrated it looks.

Second this, I’ve had several on every Volvo and polestar I’ve owned. Works great, looks OEM. Ex wife had an accident and this captured it all no problem.

Mine does, but only if it’s bumped.

I think you're sitting a bit too high if the mirror is blocking your view. I've got the Fitcam too and don't even think about it being there since day one.

I got one last year and love how it looks OEM and that you just forget it's there while it does its thing. without drawing any attention.

I have this and it works great. Comes with power adapter to plug into rear view mirror. Very clean install. [https://fitcamx.com/collections/for-ford-lincoln/products/fitcamx-dash-cam-for-ford-f-150-f-150-raptor](https://fitcamx.com/collections/for-ford-lincoln/products/fitcamx-dash-cam-for-ford-f-150-f-150-raptor)

As others have said, probably better to get another brand of dashcam unless you really like the aesthetic look of this. I’ve got the 2.0 version in a ‘22 F56. When I had an android phone it would be hit or miss with connecting to the app to the point of frustration. Now I have an iPhone, it connects better, 9/10 times. However, if you’re using CarPlay, then you have to disconnect Bluetooth so it connects to the dashcam app. Then reconnecting back to CarPlay can sometimes be finicky because it might not recognise your phone. I’ve had to delete and re-add CarPlay a few times. Not sure if that’s a general dashcam issue with other brands. Quality of video wise, I’d say it is ok, but probably can get better ones for cheaper. Night time isn’t great but acceptable. Loading clips to review on the app is slower than I’d like. If saving a clip, it takes even longer. Just my opinion though, hope it gives some insight.

Fitcamx makes a front camera that's totally intigrated directly into the part that your rear view mirror is attached to. Looks 100% OEM. I have a Chinese knockoff from Aliexpress. It is wired internally directly to the sunroof motor. Can also be wired to the fuses. Super clean, and no one can tell you have a camera. I also got the rear camera, and it is wired directly to the camera at the sunroof motor. Installed it all in about 30 mins. Recommended.

There are 2 screws in the sunglass holder, and then that whole piece comes down really easy. Splitting the mirror piece and replacing it with the fitcsmx piece is also easy.

This is for anyone looking for a good dash cam (NOT SPONSORED & I DO NOT GAIN ANY BENEFIT. JUST MY EXPERIENCE) Insight: I have a 2021 Audi S5 Sportback. FitCamX told me to order a Model A. Came within 10 days. Came with dashcam, micro SIM card usb/usb-c, plastic and metal pry tools. Install: install took me about an hour but you can definitely get it done within 30 minutes if you know what you’re doing. Toughest part for me was putting the plastic pieces back on with the new wiring. I don’t have much of the dash cam in action yet (I just installed it an hour ago) but so far, app runs clean, quality is good and has a few different cool modes. Looks OEM asf in my opinion. Should’ve came from factory like this.

I read that it will delete the earliest footage and replaces with the latest if storage full. Might want to clear the sim and see if that helps. Not sure what your setup behind your mirror looks like but that was the trickiest part, getting the wires to fit properly so the plastic would close. It took about 30 minutes alone to get it right

On the same page as you. One of the biggest reason I love it

If you go into the app and connect to the camera you should be able to turn parking mode on where it will automatically save a 3 minute clip when it feels a collision contact

Yea the low profile/ OEMish look is honestly one of my favorite things about it. And very true about the gps and speed but my main concern is really just someone running a stop light/sign and obvious things like that. Here in NM we have some of the highest rates of un and underinsured drivers so most people will do anything, especially take off on you to avoid taking responsibility.

Mine came with a sd card reader adapter with usb and usb-c in the box

I have the same dash cam for my car and I’ve got to say it’s pretty good for the price. The only issue I’ve found is that some of my footage automatically deletes itself after a couple of days.. Can’t seem to find out why it’s happening. I also couldn’t get it to fit as good as you managed to fit yours but I don’t notice it as the rear mirror covers it.

For the price, it’s a pretty good dash cam. There’s a bunch of other higher end cameras on the market but they’re nowhere near as convenient as this one. You don’t even notice it’s there most of the time. Quality of the recordings are great as well, regardless of weather. US plates are a lot smaller with smaller writing but I’m sure it would pick them up just fine.

Couldn’t agree more. This one is unnoticeable during the day although at night you know it’s there because it has a blue flashing light to indicate it’s recording. After a while you don’t notice it though. Where I am, the standard format is 7 characters. Roughly 18/20” wide and each character is about 3” by 2”.

I have the fitcam in my 23 Pro. I love it, great quality, and it looks oem.

FITCAMX integrated cam, front only. Very out of the way and tidy-looking.

Its selling point is definitely the integration, hahah.

No problem. It's not the best camera quality out there, but it's very nice to not see any wires - and even forget it exist entirely.

Okay so I got maybe the very first GX 550 Overtrail in the country and mine is mounted to the left of the rearview mirror. Apparently on new ones they mount it on the righthand side so it isn't blocking your field of vision as much. I'm surprised to see yours is mounted on the left. Do you like this? I'm assuming you're stateside and this isn't RHD.

Yours definitely looks higher up than mine! Here’s from the day I got it…! https://preview.redd.it/9vhk0jo3iffe1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7f2460d31b6b26f58967f4560691098cdc63ceb3

I got a fitcam for my BMW because I didn't want a bunch of shit stuck to my windshield like some Uber driver they make them for mini too. I installed it myself with zero experience https://fitcamx.com/collections/mini

I also love my fitcM. The app is a pain but how often do you actually review If I had an odd just pull the sd and toss it on my pc

I already prayed about the fitcam but with the fuse lot it will record of your car is bumped while parked

It doesn’t actually integrate with the camera itself, just the best way of describing it that I could think of. The plastic trim piece that covers the camera normally comes off and is replaced with an identical one that has the extra wiring and camera for the dash cam so you can’t really tell it’s there. It’s [this](https://fitcamx.com/collections/for-kia/products/fitcamx-dash-cam-for-2022-2023-kia-ev6-kia-ev6-gt) specifically.

If you want something which appears OEM, go for the Fitcam: [https://fitcamx.com/collections/volkswagen/products/fitcamx-dash-cam-for-volkswagen-golf-mk8-gte-gtd-gti-r](https://fitcamx.com/collections/volkswagen/products/fitcamx-dash-cam-for-volkswagen-golf-mk8-gte-gtd-gti-r)

Just make sure you plan out the wiring length before it gets to the rear view. It's a pain in the ass to deal with a bunch of extra wire when it's coming into the cam.

Yes, the rear cam extra cable should be dealt with in the fuse block area. It's not that difficult to run the rear cam, I popped out the rubber gasket and ran it through there and tucked the cable along the driver side in the rubber along the headliner. I think it took 20 minutes to run the cable from the rear of the car. It's always recommended to get a front + rear, check out the r/dashcam sub.

That camera blocks the air vent for the camera for Honda safety system

I’m sure it still gets a little airflow through the panel gaps but yeah essentially your blocking the air inlet with the fitx camera, hopefully it doesn’t effect it long term, it is a nice oem concept though. Keep me posted on that

I’ll probably get it and drill some holes on the side and front covers to allow the heat to dissipate https://preview.redd.it/ac7ami1frsqd1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a3ecf739f144643950b7d11e66ef3d269cc38f33

I have it on my Ram pickup and have had zero issues. Good picture. App works well.

The OEM look was the most important factor to me and no one knows it’s there.

Highly unlikely it would. They would need to prove that the FITCAMX caused an issue with the car, which is highly unlikely. If there was a power issue with the dashcam, it would just blow the fuse more than likely. I’ve had mine installed , and the dealer has not said anything to me about it

I just bought a [FitCamX](https://fitcamx.com/products/fitcamx-dash-cam-for-audi)—it’s great. Plugs into your rain sensor, and auto records. Looks OEM. Installation is pretty simple

Yes! The FitcamX. I’ve got the front/rear 128g version for my Telluride. Works great! https://fitcamx.com/products/fitcamx-dash-cam-for-kia-telluride-2023-2024?variant=43594949001388

I also use the FITCAMX, got the front and rear and did it myself. Has been great.

I have this cam also, it works great.

Into the cig lighter they'll be off when your car is off, so they won't use power. If you wire them always on, they'll kill your 12v battery in a day, and you won't be able to turn your car on. They don't use enough power to affect mpg noticeably. I use the FitcamX, I've used it once to give a cop a video of an accident, and it worked fine. It's not great at seeing plates, but very few are.

Love my Fitcamx! Easiest install ever!

It's worked perfectly for me with zero issues. I had my husband ride along at night with his phone connected to it so he could tweak it so it's not so dark on some things. Other than that the quality is what they said it would be. I think the darkness issue was also my tint lol.

Got both front and rear, install was straight forward. Just a little extra slack in the rear hanging. Only annoying part is when trying to connect to the camera on the app. Wireless carplay will take over and disconnect from the cam.

Unfortunately it does cut off power to mirror when turned off. No parking mode. You'll need a hardwire kit to make it work 24 hours.

I have the fircamx as well and I have no complaints so far.

This and make sure using highe speed quality microsd card.

FITCAMX ended up saving me a few months after installing. Someone hit and run my car in a parking lot while parked and the camera captured the person and their license plate. Would have costed me thousands out of pocket but the other person’s insurance accepted fault and I paid nothing.

I have a FITCAMX for my 2022, well... had. It was destroyed in a car accident a couple of weeks ago that totaled my RAV4... but the footage was fully recovered and irrefutably proved the other driver at fault.

Fitcamx is easy to install, but have very shitty video quality and low reliability. I used one (+rear) for a few months but recently changed it to a 70mai a810 hiding every cable.

I have the same camera installed in my GS. It’s incredibly easy to install and seamlessly integrates into the car. I often forget it’s even there.

I also have the FITCAMX in my 19 GS 350. Very very discreet, gets power from rear view mirror.

Yep same here ^ I have a post on my profile and I made a video on its installation and results if anyone wants to see sample footage as well

FitCamX has been awesome. Easy to install and use. Good price too.

I’m successfully using Viofo A119 and this cable on my two Toyotas https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D2D78KMJ?ref=emc_b_5_mob_t Other Redditors reported success with this one as well https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CZ7QJVHC?ref=cm_sw_r_cso_cp_apin_dp_H76099TX42XDAEK2XCE3&ref_=cm_sw_r_cso_cp_apin_dp_H76099TX42XDAEK2XCE3&social_share=cm_sw_r_cso_cp_apin_dp_H76099TX42XDAEK2XCE3&starsLeft=1&skipTwisterOG=1 You just buy this cable (12P type C), open the lane assist cover, connect this Y cable in between the lane assist connection, and with that, you have a powered USB port right in the middle of your windshield. Then just install the Viofo cam or anything else needed and connect it there. Done. Simple as that. No hard routing in the A-pillars etc. It’s the same method FitcamX uses, except Fitcamx is pretty bad quality compared to Viofo. Viofo always alerts when the recording is not working for whatever reason, FitcamX stays silent so you can easily miss recording on accident.

Just be aware that the FitCamX quality is pretty poor at best: https://www.trustpilot.com/review/fitcamx.com?stars=1 It's overpriced and bad quality. Get Viofo plus this cable https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D2D78KMJ?ref=emc_b_5_mob_t You just buy this cable (12P type C), open the lane assist cover, connect this Y cable in between the lane assist connection, and with that, you have a powered USB port right in the middle of your windshield. Then just install the Viofo cam and connect it there. Done. Simple as that. No hard routing in the A-pillars etc. It's the same method FitcamX uses, except Fitcamx is crap compared to Viofo.

Did you even read my comment or are you just ChatGPT bot? I did not reference ANY dashcam at all. All I referenced was the Y-cable which allows you to connect any dashcam you want. Also > pretty much all dashcams have the same or similar video quality Not true at all. One must be blind not to see the difference: FitCamCrap: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNqC2I7jt3Y Viofo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iC0WghkIzIk&t=535 Hint: you can read the license plate with Viofo. Not at all with FitCamCrap

Fitcamx and it is invisible practically.

Fitcamx has a harness you can buy to wire to the battery.

Fitcamx. Great quality. Great video. INVISIBLE.

Actually it did fail to record. The one I installed about 18 months ago. But I caught it and come to find out that Fitcamx had a firmware update that fixed the problem. It works fine now.

The absolute best dashcam for Toyota is the FitcamX front and rear dashcam. They made it so that it looks like stock plus it only cost a few hundred dollars. After a few weeks, you'll forget that you even have one.

Yeah, it's the best dashcam for Toyota vehicles by far 

If you don't want the one you put on your windshield, I have that type, I have a Viofo 119 V3 and I love it, but there's the Fitcamx which you just install where your sensor in. Link to Fitcamx: [https://fitcamx.com/](https://fitcamx.com/)

Got Fitcamx 4k. Front and rear. Stealthy look. You’ll notice that the vehicle has dashcam because of the rearcam. Nothing fancy when it comes to features but serve its purpose.

I mostly agree. I installed front and rear. The front camera blocks the mirror auto dim sensor, and makes the mirror too dark at night. There has been another thread about it. Otherwise perfect

With the amount of viofo recommendations I'm thinking this is an ad lol.. Fitcamx all the way. The way it integrates is great. You can't even tell there's a camera up there.

I went with FitcamX for my Mk7 GTI. IMO, it’s def overpriced compared to the competition, and lacks some features of cheaper cameras. But, it shines in its install. It wires into the rain sensor, and blends seamlessly into the interior in that it’s not obvious. Which were the two major Hang-ups that was holding me back from getting a dashcam.

Viofo are nice and you can mod the firmware to improve the quality but ultimately fitcamx is a good balance between oem look and video quality

Did you tuck the wires inside? Mine wasnt sitting flush at first but then I noticed that I had accidentally bent one of the clips. Once I straightened the clip, it snapped into place.

Just installed it yesterday on my 2022 XC60. Was pretty time consuming to add the rear cam. Also the front cam piece won't lay completely flush against the main piece no matter what i do, my only complaint. As long as it doesn't fall off though, I'm pretty happy with it. 

Avoid the fitcamx. It works about 80% of the time, but the 20% it just decided not to record were during the two times I needed it.

I have a FitcamX and it's fantastic!super clear and is hidden considering it's in a piece that fits the OEM trim behind the rear view. Also have the rear camera and that's barely visible in the cab. Would recommend.comes with a 128GB microSD card and you can see the videos on your phone

Super easy. I popped off the trim piece behind the mirror, took off the other trim piece above the mirror then popped out the piece with the overhead lights. Plugged in the camera with the Y-plug into the plug that the lights use,put everything back,and ran the camera to the back! Took about 20-30 minutes

Can't see it at all! There is a tiny gap where the trim piece above the mirror meets the headliner so I ran it from there, into the headliner, left to the A-Pillar, along the top to the back, then cut across to place it in the top middle of the back window.there was about an extra 6 feet, so I went back an forth in the back of the headliner (a ton of extra room between the liner and the actual metal of the car to hide it) and it is 100% hidden away.if it wasn't for seeing the bottom .25" of the back camera you wouldn't know it's there

FITCAMX has been working great for us! Front and rear. Looks sleek and OEM. Can’t even notice it. Hardware kit is a must! It took me about 6 hours to install as a first timer, but it was well worth it.

I installed the front and rear Fitcamx recently on a 2023 Rav4 XLE Hybrid, and the video quality is good. The SD card I used is a higher quality than the one that came with the product. The front cam was pretty seamless to install, but one word of caution. When moving the clips from the existing front cover to the camera cover, wear glasses. One of the clips flew off and hit me in the face, thankfully not in the eye. Check out the youtube videos for installation instructions including rear camera wiring. I ran the rear cam wiring behind the air bag on the A pillar, and took the precaution to disconnect the negative cable on the 12V battery. When removing the A pillar cover, and you have to do this in order to re-insert the pins to replace the cover, you need large needle nose pliers to access the second clip. The two small clips you have to pinch in to remove the A pillar cover are at the base next to the metal. It took a while for me to figure this out. After routing wiring behind airbag on A pillar, as per videos, I ran the wiring undeneath weather stripping to the rear. I used the adhesive that came with the rear cam and its working fine so far. Hope this helps!

I'm happy with Fitcamx on my 2023 Rav4 hybrid. See reviews on this site on Rav4 club.

I have a FitcamX in my 2021 ID4 and it’s been great. I have only connected to it maybe 3 or 4 times over the years to verify it’s working. No accidents or anything odd so I just don’t think about it. I just brought home a 25 Camry LE last night and the first thing I did was look to see if it’s available for the Camry. I’ll get it once it’s been out a bit.

I bought the FITCAMX, install took all of five minutes, super easy. downloads easy. Really easy to install, includes trim tool and it’s super hidden and plug and play. highly recommend!

I believe it works, power stays on as it’s hard wired, I went through the settings and it appears that it does stay on.

I have the FITCAMX. Looks OEM and I don’t have to worry about unsightly cables or remembering to plug anything in

I also love the fitcamx on my 2023 hybrid. The only downside is it doesn't show the speed. If you need full time recording, OBDII connectors are available for powering detachable types

FitcamX is the way to go! Easy install, recording as long as the car is on and much better quality than my previous Garmin. The only thing I don't like is it doesn't have gps speed. I believe my 128G micro SD card holds 5-6 hours of video too.

Huge fan of the fitcamx too. Especially if you don’t want to do complicated wiring. I cant imagine leaving something plugged into the cigarette lighter either.

I've had a FitcamX for two years and very happy with it.

+1 for FitcamX. If you can change a light bulb you should be fine with installing one of those. The wiring only involves clicking two connectors together.

+1 for FitCamX!

I purchased the fitcamX for ioniq 5. Easy installation. Outstanding camera with no wires showing at all.

FITCAMX is a great buy. No regrets.

I personally did not have a good experience with FitcamX. It stopped working completely after a few weeks. I almost went for the wolf box but ended up returning it because I didn’t wanna have a wire going through my center console. And didn’t feel like hardwiring either.

Looks like it is factory, takes 5 min to install. Also skipped the rear but the rear is available. Warning, you cannot add the rear to the front cam, you have to get them as a set. Also, these only run while driving, you have to buy another kit to have it run 24/7 in sentry mode for security stuff. https://preview.redd.it/gbqfz509byme1.png?width=1000&format=png&auto=webp&s=fe6f730c65f7c7a09afbc01a0476ee617e18eeb1

I purchased one after a car ran a red light and crashed into me. Been waiting to install my FitcamX since November waiting for parts and repairs.

I'd caution on FitcamX depending on the model you have. The camera didn't clip properly on my V60CC and it turned into a bit of a customer service nightmare. They thankfully took it back and refunded me, but it took quite a bit of work to get to that. I didn't even get a chance to get it up and running but according to other posts on here the vid quality is mid. I'm looking forward to others' suggestions.

I have the Fitcamx with the front and rear facing camera. Took about 15 minutes to install. When you order, their support will send an email requesting a photo of your mirror housing to validate you ordered the right one The app is a bit annoying, it connects over a private wifi from the device. Since there's no Internet on the connection, android will disconnect. Once it's setup you can just pop out the SD card. Also, make sure you discharge any static electricity before you remove or put in the SD card. I fried one accidently.

That's an optional feature, I opted not to do it. But it's just an extra wire to the battery and fuse box I think. If I remember right, it connects to the collision sensors and will turn on the camera if the vehicle is bumped hard enough to trigger the sensor

FITCAMX… honestly nothing bad to say about it. You don’t even see the forward facing one because it honestly just looks like the rear view mirror housing. I do wish I had upgraded to their 4k resolution though

That’s exactly what I do as well. When I first got it I almost returned it because I couldn’t get the app WiFi to be stable. Turns out my wireless CarPlay was kicking me off for some reason as soon as I connected. I just don’t bother with the app anymore but everything else is great about it

Can confirm that taking the old cover off was the hardest part. Mainly because I didn't know how hard it should be and was afraid to pry against the windshield too hard and end up putting my fist through it. Still only took about 10-15 for the whole install and setup.

Mine records fine but doesn't maintain the correct date.

How? I dont think it has gps. Instructions says to sync with phone, which it does, but it doesn't maintain the date.

Love it too for all the reasons you mentioned. Except the internal battery dies and all your videos are 1/1/2020 lol. Pita to find one when you need it, but its there.

If you can get by with a front-only dashcam that is only running when the truck is on, then go for the FitCamX front camera. It's a dead-simple DIY install, and it is powered from the cable running into the rear-view mirror. You literally remove a screw, unplug a clip, put the dashcam on, screw in a screw, and plug in two clips.

Just ordered a fitcamx, will be installing this weekend. OEM look and wires into the rear view mirror wiring. I had a traditional dashcam before, fit and finish was underwhelming and the install procedure for hardwiring was not enjoyable

FITCAMX installs to look factory

Weird, mine was easy to install and still works perfectly after 6 months.

It’s 4k, so pretty decent

Yep!

FitCamX

Had mine over a year. No issues.

FitcamX is working great for me, plugs in behind the mirror, mounts seamlessly behind the mirror. I got the rear cam as well, running the wire under the trim to the rear was easy and it's a clean install.

The FITCAMX is very easy to install and looks oem wires are easily hidden.

I got the fitcamx front rear but haven't installed the rear yet as i need a top replacement. I like how nobody knows it's installed but have only looked at it once or twice

whatever you get, you will need a polarizing filter to cut thru the glare. watch out for fake 4k, they need the 8mp chip for true 4k. fitcamx has all of this, but i think their power cable wont work.

The FitCamX is a fairly average camera, but it does install super easily and looks the best. I had one but replaced it for a Viofo. Decided I liked the higher quality video over the looks. If you get a higher quality cam like Viofo, Vantrue, BlackVue, etc, you will need to hardwire it in which is a bit more of a pain. I ran the power cord under the front edge of the headliner on passenger side, down inside the A-pillar and under the glove box to tap into fuses there. You have to make sure to route behind any airbags, NEVER in front of them. On the driver side, I ran the cable similar routing initially, but then across the bottom of the car all the way back for the rear cam on the hatch.

The dealer likely won't install a cam for you. A lot of people here like the FitCamX, because it's super easy to install yourself and looks great. You could DIY on this one even if you think you can't. The video quality is decent, though not as good as one with better optics and features like from Vantrue, Viofo, Blackvue, etc. If you want the higher quality camera, there are places that will install them, but check reviews first. I'd avoid BestBuy though... wouldn't trust them to do anything to my Volvo.

Confirmed. Best one there is, install & connection took 30 minutes

I’ve had my FitCamx in my 500h for over a year now, and it looks great! It also looks OEM with no messy wires.

I got FITCAMX for my RX500h and NX350. They look OEM and no wires!

I agree ☝️ I have FITCAMX for my GS350 and never regret it since.

I have the fitcamx and LOVE it. Feels OEM, was easy to install, and is the least in the way

I bought the FitCamX for my Limited and repurposed my old dash cam to record out the back window, running the wire to the PTO in the rear. It is the perfect setup for me. I’m capturing all my comings and goings :)

Had same problem with my fitcamx after 6 months. Going back to blackvue https://www.reddit.com/r/Polestar/s/eE6T21y0Ph

I can recommend Blackvue which we have had in several cars. They are a bit pricey but very good quality. For the Ridgeline I am trying a much cheaper FitcamX. Mainly because of the unobtrusive looks. The front cam is incorporated into a stock looking cover. It's been just fine for the 5 months I've had it. Easy to use app to watch or download the files.

My Ridgeline doesn't get driven that much since retirement and I've never needed to check the footage so I haven't verified it's still working properly. I basically forget it's there. I just went the standard mirror tap and not to the fuse box. Rear camera was very instal easy too. I can't remember if I went along the floor or the roof. Biggest issue was all the extra cabling to loop and find a place to stash it.

You take out part of the overhead console to gain access to the power cables that serve the mirror. The dashcam comes with an adapter that splits that connection so it will power both the mirror and the dashcam. The camera itself actually replaces the plastic shell around the mirror so it ends up looking like it's OEM. I have the same one and don't even notice it. I didn't opt to do the rear camera though, just the front.

Others have said, but FITCAMX is my recommendation. Easy to install for someone not handy and here is a video https://youtu.be/-woApNGvePw?si=F-VpMjNK9ALRUe1-

FitCamX only real option, looks OEM, easy install.

FitCamX because OEM fit and easy to use app. It draws power from back of the auto-dimming mirror. Here's a recording I made earlier this year, albeit forgot to set to highest resolution: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8SgXyXI9Bc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8SgXyXI9Bc)

The FITCAMX is OEM look and fit. No complaints.

My FitcamX works great.

I’m also running this, it’s great. No wires. Plug and play. People don’t even realize it’s there.

Very nice. Pretty much identical to the set I bought from FitCamX. If anyone gets this set and needs installation help lmk!

FitCamX makes cams that seamlessly fit each model of vehicle. I'm happy with mine. Hard to tell it's even there.

I have one and works great with no rattle. The Bluetooth conflict issue is common with lots of devices including my radar detector. I simply disconnect from Android Auto if I need to connect to the Fitcam to download videos, otherwise there is no need to stay connected all the time... it's not rocket science.

I just purchased a fitcamx front only camera, as I searched Reddit saying it was one of the most recommended ones that installs right into the existing housing around the rearview mirror without any exposed wires.

Look into fitcamx. It's a discreet dash cam. We've had it for almost a year and it works great. No issues

Didn't know that, I'll have to check some night time recordings, thanks.

Fitcamx , I love it 🥰 it’s integrated with the mirror

This is what I have too and have no issues with it.

I went with a FitcamX. It works well and clears my GR Sunshade in the front... https://preview.redd.it/6ymvecvh69ae1.jpeg?width=1564&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8d0cfca4ab3a4a14596dd36b0f0615d665632815

I have FitcamX on both my Corolla and Tacoma, they both work great. Install wasn't that bad, I just had to watch a few youtube videos...

I have the fitcamx and the main selling point was the factory install look. The video quality is good also.

No subscription just a microSD card that you can upgrade if necessary. The videos can be downloaded right to your phone or tablet.

I ordered it on Amazon.

I am using Fitcamx and no one can figure out that I have dash cam. It looks like factory fit.

Fitcamx.com

Install is okayish. But it's a goid fit camera.

FitcamX as well. Happy with it

got mine today. used the 12pin cable as you mentioned. it was super quick. thanks. it also came with another 10pin cable. guess it is to use with the rain sensor

Beautiful, I came to this sub hoping for an answer like this! Sounds like I should have done some more research before buying, but that super easy install and great finished look was too tempting for me.

and full disclosure, the front cam alone is $200 but I paid $300 for the rear as well. Figured I'd test it a bit before finishing the install. I think I might return it.

interesting, I installed it and took the cover off only a few days ago, but I'll give it a wipe and see if that helps

that's what I'll tell them when I return it

FitCamx - Have had it for 4-5 different cars - No dangly wires and 4K and very easy to setup and use and does loop recording - No more yelling "OK GARMIN".... Its on Amazon - just search for it

Just got my fitcamx from Amazon - Have it on all my other cars - no dangly wires and easy to install - Worth every penny !

Fitcamx. Plugs into the mirror, looks factory.

I got the 4k front only

I have fitcamx and like it. I'd like to have GPS speed sometimes but it's working for what I want, i.e. not noticing it, loop infinite, easy to get videos with wifi.

FitCamX. Done.

I guess I should elaborate more. FitCamX are as hidden as you can get. I’ve installed on both of my cars, including the Ridgeline. Search on Amazon for it.

I'll also vouch for the Fitcamx. No visible wires on the front and was able to conceal the wire all the way to the back window, save for the last 6 inches. Pretty straightforward installation.

Can confirm, just got one. Took like 20 minutes in bad lighting to install lol, couldn’t wait till the morning

My spouse got me mine and Amazon emailed to confirm what trim and everything the car was to ensure the right cover 👍

No, not problems with the systems. I believe it’s the forward collision detection power cable, your plugging in the camera to splice off of that. In my 19 there were two other smaller cables/plug I believe but it was pretty obvious which one I needed looking at he harness/connectors. I did see an install video of a newer model that had a lot of extra cable and he needed to tuck into the head liner. In my 19 I was able to tuck all of the cables in the available space but I could see if there was any more cable length it’d be hard to tuck it all into the cover.

+1 for FitCamX. Installed in our CRV and UX250h. Fits beautifully in front window and you don’t even know it’s there.

Another vote for this one. I forget it’s there which is exactly what I want in a dash cam. But also easy to access if needed.

FitCamX, I love it!

Using the FITCAMX on my 23 HiHy and no complaints / love the seamless look.

Second this. It has the ability and instructions to setup to work when the truck is turned off. But I just have the standard setup and works very well.

I have the FitcamX. It plugs right into existing wiring in the rear view mirror area. Plug and play. It’s been great.

Seconding the FITCAMX. Tucking the wires for the rear camera wasn't as smooth as I was hoping, and the software isn't always the easiest to connect to, but I really like that the front camera is completely out of my view and looks like it came with the car.

+1 for the FitcamX. Clean look and I only ever bother going to the app if I need to pull footage. I also test it out here and there to ensure everything is still working.

FitCamX is obviously the best if you want OEM style fitment but I hear about too many issues with them. The hardwiring for parking mode is a bit weird as well as the picture of the wiring harness they suggest for it doesn't look like it works with the FitCamX made for the Polestar 2. Apparently customer service is good and they'll help you Flash your dash can to a different recording setting where it will actually keep your files (can't remember the details but NO IDEA why it's not shipped like this as default 🤷🤷🤷). I wanted ask the bells and whistles and was looking at the ThinkWare U3000 then realized it can't use HDR even though it has the best sensors that are able to use HDR in many other dash cams 🤷🤷🤷 For the price they charge this is an unforgivable omission. I was ready to pull the trigger but why get a dash cam that can't take good pictures at night? Amazon has a flash sale on a VIOFO A229 Pro 2 channel. I checked the reviews and they were all really good so I pulled the trigger. It came with a CPL lens filter already and I also bought their SD card, hardwiring kit, and fuse box connectors. Really easy to install and video and picture quality is very good so far. If you look at my profile I posted some stuff about it. Right now still pretty happy with the purchase and would recommend.

If you get a FITCAMX, just make sure you guy a new SD card for it. It must be high endurance, in order to handle constantly being rewritten. The SD card in mine failed pretty soon. FITCAMX gave me some cash towards it though!

My Rav4 hybrid had it's battery drained from the FitcamX, I installed it via the y cable through the mirror as it was the easiest method (with rear cam as well). I've been using it for about 6 months without issue, but just last week it drained the battery and we were stuck. I did not know that the camera continues to draw power via the mirror even when the car is off (we do not have any parking mode turned on), and we didn't even leave the car off that long, it was literally 4 hours. I assumed that power source cut out when the car is off, but apparently the power is on demand via that port.

Put the FITCAMX in my wife’s 2024 XSE hybrid. For ease of installation can’t be beat. Took under 1/2 hour. Video quality is good enough for me. I kinda like it doesn’t show your speed.

FitCamX. Fits into the rearview mirror. You have to get the correct one be careful!

I just did fitcam x front install. Well worth the slight hassle of installing! The hardest part for me was unplugging the rain sensor!

Just put a FitcamX in my 23 EUV last weekend. Got a 10% coupon code from some random YouTube review video.

Just got a Fitcamx for my three week old '25 Limited. When I made the order, their customer service contacted me to take a picture of the shroud around the rear view mirror just to make sure they sent the correct parts - good customer service, IMHO! Installation was pretty easy - less than 10 minutes (front camera only). It looks super clean and OEM. Video quality is good but I'm sure there's better out there for more money but the OEM look was my top priority. My only regret was not getting the rear camera too. Unfortunately, you cannot just add the rear camera later on so decide before you buy. Good luck!

I have a Fitcamx too on my '25 Ioniq 5. Overall, very happy. Good video quality although I'm sure there are other dashcams with better quality if you're willing to pay more. The OEM look and ease of install are Fitcamx's best features. You connect to it via phone app to make setting adjustments and view/download video files but you have to turn off Carplay/Adroid Auto first. My only regret is not getting the rear dashcam with it. Check out r/Dashcam, the dashcam subreddit too.

FITCAMX is the best. Easy install and you just forget about it. Have had mine for 2.5 years and still works perfectly.

I purchased and installed the Fitcamx on my new RAV. The wiring harness supplied was defective and it caused the collision prevention system to stop working. Their customer service provided a replacement and everything worked for a while but occasionally the collision prevention system malfunction warning would come on. Eventually, this got more frequent so I finally removed the Fitcamx. So for me, I would not recommend Fitcamx .

I bought the FITCAMX on stickerfab. It replaces the trim around the rear view mirror and looks factory. 4K and works great.

I’d second this recommendation. I originally bought an Amazon special and it would always fall off my windshield while off-roading. FITCAMX took me like 3 minutes to install and looks completely factory.

I have the fitcamx and like it a lot. I had one from Amazon but the suction cup would let go every time I would go off-roading and it was annoying. The fitcamx looks factory and works great

I had an Amazon special and switched to the FITCAMX because the Amazon one would fall off the windshield while off-roading. It took less than 3 minutes to install and looks factory.

I got a FitCamX for my new car. I taps the mirror for power and looks pretty much stock. Always recording onto an SD Card so nothing to really worry about after set up. Pretty good 4K quality too.

I own both a Kia EV6 and an Ioniq 5. I purchased a Fitcamx (front and rear) for my Ioniq 5, but I encountered an issue with the adapter that connects to the rearview mirror—it never turned off. The company quickly sent me a replacement cable, which resolved the problem. Aside from that, the installation was very easy, and the picture quality was decent during the day. However, nighttime performance was not as good. For my EV6, I decided to go with the Viofo A139 Pro, and the picture quality is significantly better for both daytime and nighttime. The installation was also fairly straightforward since you can get an adapter to tap into the rearview mirror for power. However, I opted to use an external battery to enable parking mode. In conclusion, both cameras serve different purposes. If you prefer an OEM look and are okay with slightly lower image quality, the Fitcamx is a solid choice. However, if you want a better app experience and superior video quality, I recommend going with Viofo or BlackVue.

I got the FITCAMX during Prime Days. The front one looks OEM and is a 5-10 minute install. I got the one with the rear cam; you have to run the wire from the front to the back and stick the camera somewhere in the top of the window. Not OEM looking at all, but it does the job. I wish Toyota would just let me record the image I can get on the rearview mirror…

The only thing I've noticed is that the front 4k cam has a yellow tint to it. Not a big deal, unless someone plans to use the footage regularly.

I like my FITCAMX, I got front and back and it was easy to install and looks like oem, you wouldn’t know they were there unless I said something. The back one isn’t flush at all but it’s low profile enough and you can’t see it through my tinting. If you go with that one and the back camera, grab a different adhesive from somewhere though because what comes with it isn’t enough.

I have fitcamx and I love it! Haven’t had issues with reliability, but also haven’t needed to look at the footage yet. From what I have seen, no issues. I got the front and back, but the stupid back one is just hanging there impotently, off to the side of my hatchback because I can’t bring myself to put adhesives or holes into the paneling or glass, and I don’t want to drag the cord back out of the A frame (anyone reading have any recommendations or can share how they mounted???). Truly the front one is enough to prove your position at any given time, so I’d recommend it but just get the front.

If your car has a lane assist camera/auto-dimming rear view mirror I’d suggest looking at FitcamX. I love my fitcamx. It plugs right into the power source for the lane assist and hides inside the housing for it so I can basically just forget it’s there until I need to grab a clip. It’s held up well so far.

FITCAMX has an excellent front mount camera & looks like the factory cover. Plug n play & no tapping into wires.

Very true for that. The FITCAMX may not be an option for you.

I installed the fitcamx front and back camera. Was done in about an hour after doing about 45 minutes of research on here and forums. The front camera takes 5 minutes. The rest is running wire around the airbag and through the head liner. I am good at maintenance stuff and kind of handy but don't have much experience dealing with interior stuff and I had zero issues. Only downside is it only works when car is on, but with how easy the install was, I'll take it.

I did the fitcamx front and rear. It wasn't too bad. There are YouTube videos on how to route tye wires properly if you hunt around. I did about an hour of research and ran the rear camera in about an hour.

I’ve got a front/rear FitcamX in my Elantra N and it a good camera. The install is clean with nothing to stick or suction to your windshield. It replaces tue factory cover for the electronics around the rear view mirror and they give you a choice in wiring. If you want park monitor you will need to run wires to the fuse box and tap two fuses and find a ground. If you don’t want park monitor, there is a jumper harness that connects to a harness up by the mirror making for a relatively easy install. I just need one in the Sierra now.

I had the FitcamX on my 22. The plastic replacement shroud is lower quality than the OEM, but it does look right when installed. The slot for the SD card was mildly mal-aligned but that was also 3 years ago so surely it’s fixed. Otherwise? Competent dash cam. Pretty easy to install with the sunroof wiring splice and presume it would be similarly easy to install without since they provide instructions/parts depending on your model. As others have mentioned, most Chinese electronics can be found on AliExpress for cheaper, but there are often differences in support if you go that route.

I've been using a Garmin Mini dashcam for a few years and it's fine. No huge complaints. But I didn't want to pull the panels apart on the Bronco and route the cable properly, so I just shoved it up int the cracks along the windshield and panels and it's mostly out of sight and out of mind. What I don't like about it is that the app sucks and the cable is still visible, even if it's not really in the way. FitCamX makes dash cams that are integrated in to the housing behind the rear view mirror and pull power from the auto-dimming mirror's power supply. It's slightly bigger than the housing that's already there, but when it's installed you really can't see it behind the mirror. Installation was very simple (took like, 5 minutes), they included a pry tool to remove the original housing, and the instructions came with a QR code for a video on how to install it if you needed, which I always think it nice, especially with Chinese made products because written instructions aren't always easy to follow. The app is really easy to use and works great. You connect to its wifi signal and view the footage. It's great. That's how the Garmin worked too but it always gave me problems. I did have ONE issue with the app. I tried resetting the original password to connect to the wifi signal, and it it wouldn't let me access it. The new password wouldn't work, and neither would the old one. I contacted the customer service through Whatsapp and they gave me instructions pretty quickly on how to reset the password. Again, for a Chinese company I was very impressed with the customer service. Usually they just have an email and you're kinda SOL until they MAYBE respond to you after a few weeks. So I was happy that they responded quickly and answered with a fix without having to explain the issue a million times. It was like 3 messages exchanged and it was resolved. The quality is supposedly 4K, but when I view clips and download a clip from the app it's very clearly compressed. I can't read license plates. I want to pull the microSD and see what the footage looks like straight from the card. Maybe it compresses it through the app, and not when it stores it. If it's better that way, I'll update this post tonight. That's my main nitpick. 4K doesn't really mean anything if it's so compressed that you can't see the details. It's still reasonably clear, but if you got hit and run and you need a plate number, you might be in trouble. Hope the data from the card is better. Pros: * perfectly integrated in to the car. It looks OEM. * Camera quality is good enough to see brand logos and models * It has crash detection and parking mode, but I haven't been able to test to see how those work * Able to work with a rear facing camera (soft top owner so I didn't get that) * super easy to install * app works like it's supposed to * excellent customer support Cons: * It's pricey for a dashcam. Almost $200 and that's just for the front camera. * footage from the app is pretty compressed All in all I definitely recommend it. ANY dashcam is better than no dashcam. But considering that you won't be accessing the footage very often, it's best for it to be out of sight and out of mind. I like that this looks clean and OEM.

FitcamX or the Dongar adapter and any dashcam you want that's USB powered. The rear is a more difficult install than the front because of wire routing.

Don't bother with the OEM one, and "sentry mode" isn't recommended on the Mach E. FitcamX or any dash cam with the Dongar adapter is perfect.

I just did the installation a few days ago and this is a great description of the process. I’ll add some notes from my installation: • ⁠You slide the big cover forward and it comes off. I did struggle with getting the cover to come off, but eventually it did. I was terrified of yanking all the stock electronics off the windshield (mine has the digital rearview mirror). • ⁠Remove smaller black piece from the base. Some finessing is required. It might help to look at the equivalent two piece cover from the FitCamX and see how the two pieces fit together. You can stick your finger under the original cover and squeeze the tabs that hold the small piece in. • ⁠Transfer 3 clips from the OEM to the FitCam plate. In my case I only had two orange clips. • ⁠A small back piece has extra trim that needs to be removed to fit around the base. Instead of punching out the extra trim from the FitCamX, I used the small black piece from the original RAV4 cover. That way I still have the option of returning the FitCamX if I don’t like it. • ⁠To connect to the cam, you have to temporarily disable AA from the phone connection. To do this quickly you can disable Bluetooth from Control Center on the iPhone before you turn on the car - this defeats the wireless CarPlay handshake.

That was my first thought. I could have sworn the OEM placement was on the passenger side. Nice install. Would advise everyone to serious consider a dashcam. Saved my butt twice now now on previous vehicles to show I wasn’t at fault. One non-OEM recommendation I have is the FitcamX. This one looks OEM, and I use it currently in my GX.

I have a Fitcamx.  It's specifically designed for the car. You pop off the cover for the rear view mirror with the included tool and replace it with the camera.  As long as you have a powered mirror it will work.   I struggled with the software though.  I don't know if it was a problem with my phone or my carrier...or my brain.  I got it to work eventually but I haven't messed with it in awhile so updates may have made it easier to use.

My WiFi wouldn't connect and when it did it would disconnect alot.  The troubleshooting steps said to download a different sw and that worked for me.

I have the fitcamx on my 2023 corolla. Dream to fit as it connects to existing "safety eye camera" around rear vision mirror. Took 5 minutes. Could do it in one minute next time. I have installed a few dashcams. rear cameras are another beast and may take a few hours to run to back of car (the first time, 30 minutes the second time), especially hatches. The apps are all annoying as you must connect via wifi to get footage. FitcamX does show front and back in same frame via app which is not as common I just take out the sd card and put it laptop. I recommend getting the smallest sd card that is available with whatever model you get and throw it away and upgrade to a 512. 128GB stores about 2 days or 8 hours front and back? (if you drive all day like me) and they slowly fill up with possible crash data that is not overwritten. 512 gets me to the weekend to save to laptop and upload if it funny Installed a Kenwood on a few others as it could be removed with a quick click. But it would pop off in high heat. I always recommend front and back since some close calls I have had, you needed to see rear footage. I had the classic brake check, but rear footage showed they were just a jerk who didn't want to follow someone driving speed limit. Used rear footage to help a hit and run for another driver as it showed number plate. If you have poor install skills, use a front cam with a cabin cam which will give you some rear footage. I will be installing a Viofo in my mums car next. They seem like a quality package

It's not just you. I got the FITCAMX as my first Dashcam, but didn't like the capture. I returned it and got the Viofo A229 and the capture is much better.

I have the FIT CAM X for my 24 HR-V sport, looks super clean, replaces a trim piece in front of the rear view mirror, is hardwired into the cables up there with a splitter. Easy to setup, has an option to run a rear camera as well. They have a website, but I got mine through Amazon!

I tend to keep an eye on what the market is doing and consider upgrading when something better is available. I have a FitCamX because they sell mounts to fit particular makes/models and it was really easy to install. I keep hoping that someone will come out with a 4 channel that will cover the left and right wings but otherwise, 4k cameras are going to be around for a while I think. My dashcam is 18 months old and still going strong. We have strong summers and winters but not crazy bad. I wouldn't look at a year replacement as a terrible thing although I probably would pick something different if it didn't last as long as I wish it did. When I recently had to recommend a dashcam for a different car that wasn't part of FitCamX's models, I sat and watched [The Hookup](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HswpRHu_X-k&t=32s) dashcam lineup video with the person and added my thoughts to the pluses and minuses. I thought the VanTrue N4 Pro was a great choice and helped install it. I'm more interested in their 4 channel model but I can see where the 3 channel inside the vehicle camera would be great for a 20 something who might have to deal with someone lying about them being on their phone while driving.

My personal recommendation is the FitCamX. It was comparatively easy to install, and had a simple power connection that minimized tapping into the factory wiring harness.

I found the FitCamX dashcam and installed it in my Ridgeline. It sources power from the roof/mirror panel, and has cables for front and rear cameras. Definitely one of the simplest DIY dashcam installations that I found. Would recommend.

I love Fitcamx but will say when I installed in on my 24 Ridgeline and pried off the rear view mirror assembly the two plastic connectors broke. I was never able to figure how to fix it so it dangles. Very sad.

That what I got 2 weeks ago and it's great. The app is ass but I just leave it recording and pull the card if I need the video. I really like how it looks stock and no wires hanging out, plugs right in the rear view mirror wiring.

I have FITCAMX in my 2020 Laramie, it looks OEM and it wires straight in to your rear view mirror wiring...Install took me like 10min.

I did replace the sd card with SanDisk 128GB High Endurance on day one. I had this Cam for a year now and I have no problems. The app is a bit ass but I just pull the card and plug it in the PC when I need the clips.

Ever since I started using dashcams, it's always been a FitcamX because they're built to look like they came with the car (OEM), i.e. basically to be invisible. Mostly that means no cables running across your dash, and for the front one at least, very easy to install yourself (they have video gifts for each model). They do them for most mainstream brands and models. Quality is pretty good, it does what I need it to do. And no, I'm not affiliated to them in any way 😅 just that when I did my own research, they really stood out to me. https://fitcamx.com/

Check FitcamX, they make dashcams designed to look like OEM equipment. They look like they were built with the car, within the rearview mirror support. It also means they don't leave cables dangling around the dashboard. They're quite easy to install, they have video installation guides on their website for each brand of car they support, you can check them out to see if you'd be able to do it. I'm down to my second car with them. https://fitcamx.com/

Yeah, I have a VIOFO in my wife’s car, but the fit and finish of the FITCAMX just made it a better option. It’s an ok camera, but is good enough to meet the need. Placement of the VIOFO in my v60 just looked weird and out of place to me. Now to figure out how to connect the rear cam…

https://preview.redd.it/rx8r9hn4szme1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0c4df587a2a4961f4ab4e8c5f99d53b268d3d51f Fitcamx front and rear.

As others have said, looks OEM, is relatively easy to install the front. Installing the rear on my 2 door, I didn't want to pull the back roof off, so ran the wire down front pillar, under door trim and up to rear roll bar. Will fix it more permanently in the spring. Was bummed that you need to disconnect android auto/carplay to connect phone to camera, as it extends the amount of time to review a video. Not a deal breaker for me, as I bought it as insurance more than as a toy. Though the toy part would have been cool!

I have a FITCAMX for my 2021 hybrid platinum. I used to have a different one but this one works pretty well.

I also love the way it looks built into the car. Like from the outside it doesn’t look like there is a dashcam at all.

That’s awesome! I ended up getting the front and back one as well. I think you’ll love it. It really was an easy thing to install. It took me like 15 minutes to figure out I had to take a peice of the cover off and then it took maybe a minute of moving the wires around and then it slid right on. Im still using mine today and the app makes it easy to download videos if you need to.

I installed the FitCamX into my 24' RX. Installation is easy but proceed with care. The camera taps into power from the ACC. I've had no issues so far and happy it there. Looks OEM and you forget its even there lol. I wanted to do the camera with a long USB C cable but the power draw fro mthe USB C termianl arent enough to power the camera and if I wanted to use the car plug/cig lighter the console hatch wouldn't close and looks ugly.

look into FitcamX there unique to each car and have no wires hanging out. It taps power into your sunroof or adaptive cruise control. Instructions are straight forward. It was my first time buying one and I love how all the wires and camera is hidden from your line of sight.

I bought the FitcamX dashcam having had success with one in a different car. Unfortunately, I cannot yet recommend it. The plug that goes into the dimming mirror does not seem to fit (picture shows the cable adaptor that it comes with and the Homelink auto dimming mirror that I’m planning to install) Edit: it turns out that the dashcam gets its power from the reading light and not the rear view mirror! They sent me this [installation video](https://youtu.be/UawAZqYe__4?si=6oLEd2oegx35jpLR). I suppose this makes sense as every trim has a reading light, whereas not all have the autodimming rearview mirror. https://preview.redd.it/yph2n9oypkrd1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eac3000eb9b5de6e345db8e403ce5b066ac5f4a5

I have the FitcamX but only installed the front camera as I don’t feel tearing into the rest of the trim yet… https://www.reddit.com/r/crv/s/0HhG3vaFpB

It wasn’t too bad. I did not use their supplied trim removal tool and just used a cheap set I bought from Harbor Freight (sturdier, longer and wider so more leverage). I took pics of all the steps. Send me a DM and I can share those. The thing that confused me is that you actually wire it to the electrical harness that feeds the map reading lights. I assumed it would tap into the rear view mirror, but on this makes sense since not all trim levels have electrical going to the mirror. This does mean that you have to remove two more trim pieces. The app is pretty bare bones. I’ve also turned off the “parking mode” because it seemed to come on every few minutes even when in my garage. If I had to compare it with a Garmin that I have in another car, I would say that it is not as good but you just can’t beat the clean integration.

That wire you are referring to is only for the rear camera should you purchase the higher end version with both cameras front and back. I have the fit camx and have had zero issues at all. I recently purchased another one for my corolla and it should be here any day. This camera is the one you want if you are picky about wires. If you mounted a tv in your house and a wire was sticking out would it bother you? If so get fitcam x.... If not there are better options for the money, you are paying a premium for the factory look of the fitcam x. People are shocked when I show them mine and tell them it's aftermarket.

My initial dashcam was a functional model which like most dashcams connects by rearview mirror. I was drawn to FitcamX for its OEM-style integration. The cost was steep, and it took some deliberation to justify the expense. Ultimately, the allure of a cohesive design won me over, and I made the purchase. It's important to note that while there might be more cost-effective cameras with comparable features, the OEM design was my deciding factor, and I was willing to make some compromises for it. The camera's performance is satisfactory, catching licence plates can be tricky but otherwise details are good. However this might be a common theme with most dashcams based on reviews. Overall it's not the most economical choice but an included SD card helps. Finally this installation process was on my GV70 was surprisingly simple; mind you I did the front dashcam which connects to the powered rearview mirror. Hope that helps you.

FitcamX 4K Dashcam is incredible on my S60. No one knows it’s there, integrates seamlessly with existing wiring, and has excellent quality video. I only have one for the front, but it’s amazing for what it is, and super affordable/easy to install (~10 minutes). App works easily too, allowing you to download clips to your photo roll if you want to review or share anything. Just an all-around solid tech add on to my car and good peace of mind.

So far I'm pretty happy with my FitcamX.....4K front and rear (if you're willing to run a cable for the rear cam). I think the integration is nicer than the Toyota cam. Fitcam also sells a pigtail to plug into the headliner connection to get parking mode.

I've had mine for almost a year now and my rear cam is still sitting in the box. I haven't had the guts to try running the wire yet. My main worries are getting around the airbags in the front pillars, and then where to put all the excess wire when I get to the back. Nice to know it's not that bad...

Posted this in another thread but I highly recommend FITCAMX. It’s plug-n-play for the front using a y-adapter and they have a replacement piece of trim to make it blend right in. Camera itself is only slightly above average but really you’re paying for the custom interior trim piece that makes the camera look built in which was important to me

Just installed the FitCamx (front and rear). Very easy to install and looks OEM (front). Happy with the resolution too. https://preview.redd.it/okrt5lg7hfee1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=739a7dc1502684e1a55e054801a0ca1961cf9d49

Just installed mine FitCamX (front and back) very happy with the install and resolution.

Fitcamx. 2yrs no issues

This is a highly personal choice. If you prefer video quality above all else, the Viofo others mentioned is one of your best options. If you want average to better-than-average video quality and want the camera to look like it was installed from the factory, the FitcamX is a great option. FitcamX will come at a higher cost for the video features & quality as you're paying extra for the OEM look. I recommend watching example videos from both online, in both daytime and nighttime. If you're good with both, it really comes down to whether you want to pay the Fitcamx tax for it to disappear. Personally, I went with fitcamx and have one that's in route. I also haven't seen any camera at any price point that I thought had good enough low light performance to justify having a visible camera vs. the Fitcamx. If I need to capture a license plate at night, I'll read it out loud and capture it via the audio recording.

This looks identical to the FITCAM-X that I installed recently in my own. Nice job wiring the rear camera, I might copy how yours sits. I wired mine into the fusebox itself as opposed to the OBD port

Yep, recommend, clean install, rear camera is pretty easy too.

+1 for this. We have it, works great.

I have a fitcamx and it is perfect. Only issues are -Was hard to install for me because I have giant hands. Had to get help from somebody else because the wire is in a funky spot -When trying to pull video off the system you connect to its wifi. If you use Android Auto it will take over your wifi for that and not let you connect. So you have to use a second device or play a little dance with the console. This likely happens with any dashcam though, not just fitcam

I did this ^ its nice to have it out of sight/mind but there when you need it

I like mine but yes the 2 do conflict with each other.

I have one with the rear cam which I installed in the inside of my smart cap. I haven’t heard any noises but I’m a bit hard of hearing.

I have one and I don't like it. the hardware is great but the software is really terrible. First, the videos take forever to load onto your phone. Second, the Bluetooth on the camera and the Bluetooth on the infotainment system of the truck are always in conflict. so you'll get connection issues if you don't turn off the Bluetooth in your truck settings. This is really frustrating when you need to show someone the footage in a timely manner.

Have you found a “workaround “ for the CarPlay issue? I love the simplicity of this camera but Not being able to use CarPlay is a definition for me

I love mine. You cannot tell there's a dashcam installed, which is really all I want out of a dashcam. Well it records video too.

Weird, mine doesn't work if car is parked and ignition is off.

Hi everyone, I've installed the Fitcamx on my Audi a5 2018 sportback and wired with rain-sensor "Y" connector. It worked good but in fews day the MMI gave errors because electronic interferences from the cam. I had to dismatlel the camera to eliminate these interferences. Anyone had same problems?

I didn't need anything fancy and wanted more OEM look so I went with the fit cam x ($250) with the rear camera. Super easy install on the front, plug and play. Ran the rear through the headliner and doors. Then up through the rubber grommet for the bundle of wires leading to the lift gate and have it right next to the digital rear view camera. So you only see about 3 maybe 4 inches of the cable is all. If you want features in your dash cam this isn't it but if you want a clean look with something that records clear enough in day and night to submit to insurance or a YouTube channel this will do it.

I'm getting the FitcamX. I like the OEM look.

I third this. I have one also and you'd never know it was even there.

https://preview.redd.it/hdyjdvph276e1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7026a62a4325de50571ebb200c7ed8f15d233025 Here's what the FitCamX looks like from inside the truck.

I went with a Fitcamx, it replaces the cover under the rear view mirror and taps into the mirror power. I’m sure there are better cams out there, but it gets the job done and I haven’t seen a cleaner setup.

I’ve got one in a 1500 as well, it has a piece that hangs down a bit. The GC one is barely noticeable.

I've got a couple FitcamX models and a Garmin Mini 2. The only thing WiFi is used for on them is to configure them and pull clips, it's not needed for regular operation. I bought a couple SD card readers for my phone so I don't have to use the WiFi for pulling clips anymore. All of them shutoff with the car. I think there are options involving installing a different method of powering them to get them to stay on all the time.

I have an FItcamX Cam and they have different cams for every car model. It replaces the plastic bit behind your rearview mirror. Looks OEM in my opinion and it doesn't stick out. As for wiring, it just plugs into the mirror power source - took 15 mins

They stop recording without you knowing though and when you need it the most you will notice that it hasn't been recording for months.

I have the same one

I went with a FITCAMX. Looks similar but been around longer.

This 100%☝️☝️☝️it took 2 cams before I did more research. I have a FitCamX now, it’s been great.

Had a FITCAMX. But it wouldn’t overwrite old files for continuous recording. Ditched it and got myself another Viofo dash cam

Had a FitcamX, but it was defective. It wouldn’t overwrite old files despite having the latest firmware. The app was ridiculously slow to download files Went back to Viofo, as I had one on my old car. At least I can remove the camera from the car and plug connect it to my computer. And if you want, can get the appropriate harness to have parking mode detection also

I really do love that the FitcamX is fully integrated and looks like it was made that way in the factory.

I love my FitcamX in my wildtrak. I only got the forward facing and only on when the vehicle is on, so my setup doesn't fit OP's need. They do come with a always on wire kit if you want one though. having said all that, the OEM look is freaking great.

I love my FITCAMX

i'm using Fitcamx, front and rear. It's plug and play. The front camera comes with replacement factory rear view mirror trim and gives a nice OEM look.

Just installed the FitcamX. Looks factory, easy install and the cam works great.

I’m using FitcamX in my GT4

I’m still trying to figure out how to install the rear camera in my GT4..

Just installed the FITCAMX also. Happy with it. Clean and easy install. I didn’t put a rear cam in because it’s a targa, and couldn’t think of a clean way to do it. Also ended up putting a FITCAMX in the rs6 and truck.

The FITCAMX wasn’t too bad on the RS6, all things considered. I’ve been happy with it

It was a bit challenging to install and get all the cables back in the right place. Downloading videos isn’t straightforward. But once installed you don’t notice it, and the video quality is good enough. I would buy it again.

I installed mine and it caused calibrations issues for the warning system. I removed the camera, took it to the dealer and they did a Warranty repair that would have cost $1,500. I haven’t had the guts to try it again and returned the camera

21 RAV4 prime SE. after the install the camera was working but while driving every few minutes the Collision Warning system error popped up. They had to recalibrate the camera. I guess be very careful when you install not to move anything. 😅

Re easy install. https://preview.redd.it/uwmi7frbsmre1.jpeg?width=3840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=67e4442de270dad96eb28d0199b625264184c5a7 * You slide the big cover forward and it comes off. * Remove smaller black piece from the base. Some finessing is required. * Unplug the grey harness connector on the left side. * Plug in the splitter Cable. * Transfer 3 clips from the OEM to the FitCam plate. * Connect the power cable to your cam. * Finess the cable. * Install camera * A small back piece has extra trim that needs to be removed to fit around the base. * That's it. * WiFi is always ON * To connect to the cam, you have to temporarily disable AA from the phone connection. * Or use USB C to micro SD reader to extract the footage. * Here's a picture of a putzmeister truck that decided to shower my vehicle with pebbles. Causing the windshield to have small chips. 🤬😤😠🗯️

Don't forget to adjust the camera settings and increase the resolution. The default is 2k, I think.

FITCAMX literally is built into the car and replaces the OEM cover

Crazy easy install. Been pleased with mine.

FITCAMX, it’s sleek and no one ever will know you have a dash cam.

I installed just fine on my 2021. It wasn't super easy but the fit and finish made me very happy. Works fine and looks like it was installed at the factory.

I'm also interested in a rear dash cam install video for the Ioniq 5. I have watched several videos for other cars, but I haven't found a good one specific to Ioniq 5. I see a lot of videos that install the wiring over top of the side curtain air bag, which doesn't seem like a good idea to me. There are some that say this isn't an issue, but it isn't worth the risk to me. I have a Fitcamx with rear camera, but I have only installed the front camera. I am waiting for warmer weather to install the rear.

I used the same video when installing my FitcamX. It really helped.

Here's the video I used as a basis to install the rear camera and feed the cable for my FitcamX. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p05syNT4cYM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p05syNT4cYM)

FITCAMX front camera looks the best. But I did not do an install for the rear

I have this as well, with the rear camera. It looks great but it is limited in functionality. You can only view files through the app when the car is powered on and even then there is a small window of time before the camera powers off and disconnects wifi. Otherwise you have to take the sd card out to view recordings. Be sure of the capabilities you want before buying.

I use the fitcamx cameras in all my cars. Blend in seamlessly right up near the mirror, have a rear camera option, and can use the app on your phone to pull clips

I just installed one on my 2021 Macan. It wasn’t as easy as the videos have you believe. Mainly, the two wires for the front and rear cameras are thick and they make the installation a little tricky. You need to find a groove on the left side of the mirror stem to tuck them in before you can clasp the two halves together. I used the hardwired harness and found the included fuses are labeled upside down. So original fuse that you insert has to be right side up. It’s confusing. I’ve had it for a week and it seems like you can’t access the videos remotely. You either have to turn on the car with your phone close by or remove the SD card and use the supplied reader to see the videos. I may be wrong but I haven’t found a way to do this remotely. Lastly the app is extremely basic. I have no plans to buy another FitCamX for my other cars.

yeah. its really bare-bones feature and tech. i sent it back, it didn’t really fit the 991.2

thry sent me all the housings trying to make it work. none of them actually lined up. they all sort of sat “inside” the remaining oem housing half the big problem is because the fitcam housing was smaller there was no sane way to run the wiring.

https://preview.redd.it/06k9ox1oktte1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=af7bd58e532b3860adce0cd65d2fc9dc0619968b found it. see how the fitcam opening is small? it is fully blocked by the mirror mount so you cant get wires through. if it had the factory shape you could get the wires through though it would be a little tight

I have it on my 992.1 and love its clean look. I did add the filter to reduce the glare.

mine doesn't block the auto-dim sensor...

Install was super simple. Remove plastic cover using their special tool. Unplug 12pin cable from the steel box in first pic. Plug in their 12pin dongle. Plug in power to the camera. Install their plastic cover. Done Took me 5 minutes. That's it. No cables showing because it's all hidden under the cover. Their app is very basic but it works. Can easily download videos to my phone. One of the better investments I've made to my car.

camera quality doesn't really bother me. As long as the 4k camera can read the license plates then I'm happy. I did order a bigger sdcard. It only comes with 64GB house brand. Ordered a SanDisk 128GB high endurance card made especially for dash cams. Was only $15 on amazon. [Amazon Link](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NY23WBG)

this unit doesn't block the auto dim sensor. In the second pic of the outside view, the area on top of that I'm not touching. all the other sensors are there.

Lane assist is 12 pins. Rain sensor is 3 pins. Order from Amazon and mine came with both. If yours didn't have one, their support will mail you one for free next day air but they make you take pictures of your setup first to verify. You also need the order number if the person got it off Amazon. You want the lane assist power since it never turns on while the car is off. Rain sensor I read will turn on when the orange light is on and the main battery is charging the 12v.

someone else said to turn wifi off then back on then it won't fight. also make sure the auto reconnect isn't on for the fitcamx wifi as you don't want to auto connect to it. you only want to manually connect when needed.

if you hook it up to the rain sensor which it comes with that cable, it can turn on while the car is off and drain the battery. It also comes with a cable to hook it up to the lane keep sensor which doesn't turn on when the car is off so I used that cable to power the camera.

Agree 100%. I don't like the auto dimming early in the morning and early evening.

Definitely FitcamX - clips to the ADAS (camera) behind the rear view mirror and uses the mirror dimming power feed to power itself. Cables all hidden as it replaces a bit of the plastic on the ADAS module (that just un-clips). Took me 10 minutes to fit and looks like it’s factory integrated.

I have this one too for my 2020. Don’t even know it’s there. Very clear picture too. Set it and forget it.

I have a fitcamX in my ‘24 V60CC and while I haven’t had any issues, I’m not thrilled with the quality of video and the lack of features (like GPS). It looks good and OEM, but that’s all it has going for it.

Fitcamx all day long. I do have an extra one to sell if you want.

I second the fitcamx. 4k resolution. Installs without tools and looks factory.

I'm partial to FitCamX because of OEM look.

Hahah, to be fair if there wasn't a FitCamX, I'd probably go for the Viofo. It's cheap and uses a good sensor. But yeah I prefer the "you can't tell" look of the FitCamX.

I like the FitcamX in my Rav4 XSE Hybrid because it just replaces the black box by the rear view mirror and is extremely inconspicuous

I have the front only and the standard setup was easy. I believe you can wire it in to your fuse box in order to allow it to record even while the car is off in the event of a crash but that seemed more than I needed

I got a fit cam x, installed myself in 5 minutes and no wires - plug n play

Fitcamx has one that is super easy to install and looks like it came from factory. It's super stealthy too, unless you knew it was there, I doubt anybody would ever suspect

FitcamX, even with the rear camera, was a very easy installation. FitcamX makes their cameras for all different makes and models; the process is simply to remove the existing plastic trim by the rearview mirror, plug in the wire(s), and snap it back on. Running the cable from the front to the back was much easier than I could have ever anticipated.

Just did self install with front and back. If you want parking mode you have to wire it into a fuse box. I needed to buy a fuse tap off Amazon, as the one Fitcamx provided wouldn't work. Also be aware, if you use Android Auto wireless, it uses your phone WiFi, so you can't view the camera and have Android Auto connected at the same time. And android auto is a pita as it wants to constantly reconnect, actually had to disable the damn app.

I got one. Just the front camera. Only thing that was difficult was positioning the wires when putting back on, but I have no regrets

Have one, and ditto to what everyone else has said. Great camera. I’ve had one in my wife’s Volvo for 3 years as well.

I have the FitcamX in my 2500HD and my wife's XC90. both look factory and work great. You can either use the app to view the files, or the SD card pops out of the side and plug it into a card reader on your computer. I previously had the Thinkware from the GMC Accessories site, but didn't like the look of it.

Fitcamx looks OEM, you won't even notice it's there. Super easy install.

FITCAMX just put it in last week. Super happy with it and 10 mins to put in

FITCAMX. Fits like a OEM dash. So easy to install. I only got the front dash. So it took 5 mins to install. I just watched a YouTube video. Didn’t feel like reading lol. The video was longer than the actual install.

Literally the overuse of the word “literally” is part of the problem with this post. I’ve had dash cams that worked for years until I changed cars, I have two right now that are 6 and 7 years old respectively and a newly installed FitCamX that works great.

FitCamX is really nice if you have a supported vehicle - replaces the stock radar/camera housing and mostly disappears.

I have it in my V60, its looks like OEM, almoast invisible, but Video quality at best ok considering the price

Just pop out the memory card from the Fitcamx, and insert it into a card reader plugged into your phone

I just purchased a fitcamx and so far I love it! It looks factory and was easy to install.

I also got a FitcamX. I like it so far. I still need to install the rear cam, but setup and connection was easy. I will say I did not have the same install experience as you. Removing the existing windshield sensor casing was not as easy as their install video made it seem. The casing was already detached from its frame but was left hanging. Taking off the plastic casing was the hardest part of the install for me.

I also got the FitcamX 4K model plus rear. It was a Christmas present. My Bronco model did not have power at the rearview mirror and I also wanted it to always have power for parking lots so I bought an OBD2 splitter and power cord and ran power from the OBD2. I also got the optional rear camera. I have a long and a short cord for the rear. Currently I am using the rear camera to film inside the cab from around my auxiliary switches looking backwards but I plan to mount it somewhere on the back roll bar looking out at the road behind me. With winter weather I didn’t have time to fool with properly running the rear wires above all the side airbags but one day soon I will do that too. But I was able to tuck the power behind the trim to keep the wires mostly hidden.

I have the FITCAMX also but to tell you the truth, I’m not 100% happy with it. There’s no GPS so you can’t prove your speed at time of incident. Whether it be a speeding ticket, or someone saying you were flying down the road when they pulled out in front of you. Another negative is if you initially get the front camera only, you can’t add the rear cam. You have to decide if you want both or just the front. No add on cam later. Lastly, you can either pull the video off of a point-to-point WiFi connection (which requires you to leave the car on while you pull that slowly through WiFi, or you have to pull the microSD card out to put into a computer. God help you if you have chubby fingers like me, because you’ll never get that sd card out without childlike fingers.

I also have a fitcamX for our highlander and corolla as I love how they just replace base trim so it looks built into the care seamless with decent enough quality video (only 2k footage).

FitCamX. I like how it looks stock and plugs into the factory harness.

I have a FitcamX and it looks great. Just like OEM.

I installed Fitcamx in my car. The front camera can install in a few minutes to a vehicle with self dimming feature. Fitcamx draws power from the mirror when the car is running. The plastic housing replaces the OEM mirror housing, and most people don’t notice Fitcamx is installed.

FitcamX front and rear cams look amazing in my 24 ST and file quality is great. WeatherTech mats.

had mine for 2 years. saved my ass when I got sideswiped earlier this year. No issues with SafteySense. I got the dual front and back version. Install was simple, but time consuming for me. Personally haven't had any issue with firmware.

I’ve had it since I got my 21, it did stop recording at one point, but I contacted them, and they sent replacement for free

Double same. Good product. Easy to install. When I ordered it from Amazon the company contacted me to make sure that I ordered the right one. Nice

I decided against it due to the documented recording and firmware issues. I got a mirror tap for a Viofo A229 Pro.

Yeah, the Fitcam doesn't use super capacitors when powering down, it still uses a battery!

Highly recommend Bay Radio and Alarm in Walnut Creek. I did a little research on Reddit, and the guy was recommended by a couple different people, so I took a chance. He quoted me $120 over the phone, but when I went in and it took him about 15 minutes to install (I got a FitcamX front camera only), he knocked the price down to $60. Very satisfied with his work and would go back again.

I have a FitCamX with a rear cam and front cam.  It plugs right into the rear view mirror.  Took all of 15 minutes to install.  No sentry mode because there’s no power, but for driving it works amazing.

Second the FitCamX. It is designed to install as a replacement for the existing trim piece around the rear view mirror, so it looks OEM, like it came that way from the factory. Installation is a snap for the front cam, taps right into an existing connector. Just be sure to buy the correct model for your trim and year. The optional rear cam is a little harder, but still totally DIY-able. There have been a couple of random comments on similar posts saying the resolution of the FitCamX is poor, but that's not been my experience, and I honestly think those comments are from bots trying to dis the brand in favor of their own.

I use the FITCAMX in the front and use the garmin mini 2 for the rear plugged into the back dc plug.

That makes sense. Ideally I’d like to find a quality camera that doesn’t attach to the windshield. Might go with fitcamx and see if the video quality is acceptable

I bought a Viofo but sent it back and ordered the fitcamx last night. Definitely prefer the OEM look

I ordered the Viofo A119 Mini 2 and just received it but I definitely would prefer the hidden cam so I think I’ll return the Viofo and order the Fitcamx. So far so good with your unit?

I researched for months, if you want the newest chip and best picture quality cam it’s the Viofo A139 Pro. If you want a hidden cam get a Fitcamx which is hidden in a factory trim piece, I have this one.

Yeah I’ve had it for a year it’s been great, don’t even notice it’s there

Have a FitCamX that connects to the LDA camera on my 2022 RAV4. Had my windshield replaced a few months ago. Zero problems.

Never not worth it. Highly recommend getting one from FitCamX. The camera itself is not only high quality, but the installs couldn't be easier. All of our cars have dash cams from them. No cutting or tapping or running of wires into the dash are needed. [https://fitcamx.com/collections/bmw](https://fitcamx.com/collections/bmw)

FITCAMX . Custom made to replace the plastic piece behind the rear view mirror, plug and play, 2 minutes to install . Plays live to your phone app as well as SD card. I couldn’t be happier with how it’s completely concealed, no suction cup bs either

Email them directly, mine is a late 2020 . Probably the same

I did the fitcamX in my 2016 M235i, most people don't even notice there is a dash cam because it fits so seamlessly. Take your time with the install.

I got the fitcam, works great

FitcamX seems to be the closest to an OEM-looking solution, with no visible wires and easy installation. Viofo seems to be a better product (higher quality cam?), but then you gotta deal with wires.

Agreed. I have been happy with my FitcamX. Install was literally plug n play. Wire management was not bad and it's easy to tuck things away. Regardless of brand, OP should make sure to get a quality SD card designed for dashcams and overwriting.

Definitely FitcamX, I got the front and rear, its super easy to install and has the cleanest looking front cam.

Was easily able to run the wires on the top, press it behind the header with the spudger they gave and make it look nice. Then on the liftgate theres a plastic cover panel you can take off to bundle the extra wire and make the drop to the camera really nice and clean.

Fitcamx. Mine died on me, but they were quick to send out a replacement. Video quality is top notch, install is invisible.

Yes, for 3 vehicles now including our EV6 GT. Running the cable along the edge of the headliner to the rear cam is not difficult, just takes some time. Running it through to wire loom between the headliner and the tailgate is a little tedious but if you buy a set of fiberglass fish tools and take your time it’s not bad.

I 2nd the Fitcamx comment Super easy to install and indistinguishable from the normal mirror case. I've had mine 6 months with no issues.

For newer Lexuses, it doesn't get any easier than the FitCamX, and it retains the OEM look of the rearview mirror area. If you prefer an external dash cam, you can find an adapter that taps into the rain sensor plug inside the mirror housing, and run the wire up the headliner and down to an external camera affixed to your windshield. This is what I currently use on my ES350 since I transferred my old dash cam from my previous car. Zero issues and a professional look with no visible wires from the dashcam to the headliner.

I have a FitCamX. Looks factory, runs off the overhead power. I like it.

I love mine. I prefer to take the sd card out for faster transfer. The videos open easily in windows. I have it on both Kias. Install was simple, it looks flawless. Multiple video options. I did the lower end 4K and it's super clear.

Hey there. I bought the fitcamx last month. 1. You have to take the plastic plate off the rear view mirror to see which number version you need to order. The camera is already fitted into the plastic plate that you will be installing so it’s easy. 2. It came with Y adapter wiring for BOTH for rear view and rain sensor connection. I used the rain sensor adapter wiring since it was easier to make it fit but both worked. 3. I ordered it from Ali baba- it was the cheapest there, they had a discount code that didn’t work. I asked for a 128gb card rather than a discount. And they complied. It got here in a week through free shipping. 128gb is perfect. 4. The app is really easy to use and connect to. It connects through WiFi. And files are easy to download and the quality is good to excellent. Although I haven’t checked night vision. Also you can easily take out the sd card and plug it into a computer. 5. Can’t say anything about a digital mirror. 6. Only con would be that it doesn’t record when the car is off because of its power source. If you want a parking feature then there are other cameras that you can power through the obd2 port. There are obd2 to usb adapters with wires. Hope that helps.

I will add I got the rear camera and it was amazingly easy to route the wire. I love this camera so much and it’s so discrete.  This post helped me out so much https://www.reddit.com/r/KiaTelluride/comments/11v6rz0/hardwired_dual_channel_dashcam_install/

Nice! I just installed one on my cx 30. I wish they had better execution on the polarizer but I guess they have to accommodate for a huge variety of car shapes and sizes

I turn off Bluetooth on my phone when I connect to my fitcam. It stops the phone from trying to connect to Android Auto and allows me to connect to the fitcam wifi

I just got myself a fitcamX for my 24 CE. The shroud is quite easy to remove with the included tool. The clips look quite sturdy I wouldn't worry a lot about them breaking. I have the fitcamX model that taps into the power of the sunroof. For the most part the install was straightforward but my fingers are a little big so getting all the wires routed was a bit tricky, especially since there's not a lot of room to work with

FitcamX. Mine plugs into the sunroof plug with a passthrough. Replaces the factory mirror bezel so you can't even tell it's there. Rear cam wire is only exposed far enough to stick it between the defrost wires in the rear windshield

Hasn't had any issues. Pretty sure the sunroof loses power when the car is off

I have a 2025 Sport-L and installed the FITCAMX. Both front and rear. I like the oem look and that it doesn’t just suction to the windshield. Set up was fairly easy. The rear one takes a bit more work but not difficult at all. Setup in the app was pretty straightforward. Front video is pretty clear both day and night. The rear is a bit fuzzy at night even at the highest resolution but I can live with that.

Value for money front-only dashcam: Viofo A119 Mini 2 Top performing but barebones 4K front & 1080p rear dashcam: VIOFO A229 Pro Dual. 4K Dashcam with cellular LTE connectivity: BlackVue DR970X Plus 2CH LTE. 4K Dashcam with the best parking mode: Thinkware U3000 with built-in radar. All of the ones mentioned above have the latest Sony Starvis2 image sensors which are industry leading. If you’re after an easy to install and OEM looking dashcam, FITCAMX could be an option. I have the aliexpress 4K version in both my cars as it piggybacks power off the dimming rear view mirror and it slots under the ADAS sensors near the rear view mirror, took 5 min to install. But the image sensor is old, it has no parking mode with included harness and it has no GPS so no co-ordinates or speed.

I have a FITCAMX in my ID4. My dad has one in his Bolt. Works well with IPhone. His android drove me nuts setting it up. I had to disconnect from his Bolt’s CarPlay to get the app to connect to the Fitcamx WiFi. Like permanently remove the CarPlay connection. Putting it on the Bolt was easy. Doing it for the ID4 I broke a few clips. The included SD card is garbage. Throw it away and buy a Samsung endurance card. If you’re going to get a cam, you want to make sure it records reliably .

Fitcamx. Easy install and looks OEM.

Bought a Fitcamx. It did not work. Their customer support was terrible and I left it installed for a few days trying to figure out how to reinstall it and it detached itself from my windshield. 0/10 would not recommend.

I bought the fitcamx and the install was pretty easy. Love that its an oem look and doesnt take up any more real estate than it needs to. Available on both amazon or directly from their site.

Recently got another one, but it failed to set up. Status light Flash red two and turn off. Tried resetting and it doesn’t work.

FITCAMX is great

And yes FITCAMX connects right to your rain sensor and fits flush with the rear view mirror so absolutely no wires and you wouldn’t even know it was there that’s how well it blends in

Hmmm here’s the [link](https://fitcamx.com/collections/audi/products/fitcamx-dash-cam-for-audi) you can use for all Audi that should work. But I have it on my A3 and works like a charm

One more in favor of the FitcamX. Blends nicely with my 24 Sienna and installation for the rear cam is not difficult at all

I purchased the Fitcamx front and rear camera package for my Telluride. Installation is straightforward. Good price too.

Do you have a 2025 Telluride? I bought the Fitcamx but i had to return it because the Y cable didn’t fit . I’m wondering if they sent me the incorrect cable

FitxCamX makes a great Front and Rear Dash Cam kit, and if you add the OBD wiring kit it can record 24/7 or when impacted.

many members here along with myself use the fitcamx dashcam. the front camera is pretty discreet, gives a oem look. I believe you can do 24/7 in parking mode which requires additional hardware or installation requirements but I don't use that personally so I can't comment on it

This is the way. Even an idiot like me could install it correctly. And it works just fine

I installed the fitcamx and love it … looks factory made and inconspicuous

I use FITCAMX and works great

I went with aftermarket, fitcamx in my sq5 and wife's A3 they work as intended. Super easy mirror install and concealed design as it's part of the mirror

I will say the A3 was slightly more difficult as there was less room to tuck In the cables and connectors.

I got FitcamX, front and back. I Like the stock look and it plugs into the rain sensor behind rear view mirror. regardless of which one, running cord to rear was easy

Wiring to rear was easy, can hug headliner and fit in plastic on B pillar. There is a youtube to figure out how to get into wiring into hatch door i couldn't figure it out and didn't try hard. I have a little extra cord at top of hatch didn't bother me so left it as is. It is powered by the front camera. I cant notice the cord except for little loop at top of hatch and headliner.

You know I didnt notice until I installed one on my son's jeep grand cherokee. Since it had various options depending on trim. had a gap, and since you brought it up, went to check mine on a 23 GT. and sure enough a bit of a gap, but you can notice because of the black film on window behind rear view mirror, but if you put your finger up there you notice it. Doesnt bug me still way better than normal dash cam look, but you cannot tell looking at from outside and I coudnt even get a good picture that would show from outside.

Does that FitCamX have that special battery that goes into your glove box or wherever, so it charges when you drive/charge, and discharges when parked and not plugged in?

Oh, on their web-site, it says that when the vehicle is locked, it turns off. So this is not a "sentry mode" option. Any way to make it work like that?

I'm sorry, I don't want "sentry mode" powered by an external rechargeable battery?

As far as parking, plenty of use cases, two of which I've personally experienced: people backing up into your vehicle while you're parked. My wife had a literal NUN back into her vehicle, multiple times, tons of damage, Austin Powered back and forth a few times, then drove away and found a different spot. Camera footage was the only way they could prove it was the nun (she was literally in a habit, and doddering through the Barnes & Noble when the police caught up to her, just going about her business). "Oh me, oh my...are you sure you have the right person? \*nuns\*" Hit and run is a great reason for parking cam. But I do agree, I would only do it with an intelligent external battery.

FitcamX is nice because of the fit, but something like a Thinkware U3000 or Viofo a329 is going to capture better video. I am getting the A329. I don’t plan on doing any monitoring during parking, but it’s compatible with battery packs if you want that feature. It would probably be easy to run the wiring down the passenger A pillar and to the fuse box the secure the battery down there somewhere.

I like the fitcamx brand because they mold to your front mirror and are very discreet. Before that I had some Garmins and Thinkware but they stand out.

FitCamX

It’s nice. Looks OEM. Connects quickly to the phone when you need it and the quality is top.

I've been looking into dashcams a lot recently and I'm not crazy about any of them. The biggest problem with even the best dashcams is that at night time especially, it can be difficult to capture a high resolution quality frame of any license plate especially during movement. The second major consideration is recording while parking, and for how long. Do you want to record for days? Then you need a battery pack and it has to be able to handle high temperatures and be wired. Then the question is, do you want a multi-channel dashcam (front/rear)? Do you want it to be discrete? FitCamX seems like a great option, stealthy (mounts hidden under your mirror, it looks better than the Porsche factory option), 2 camera capable, can hardwire. Not the best image sensor but isn't the best at full time recording even if it supposedly works off motion record. Viofo is considered better image quality but it's kind of ugly. It has a lot of features though, and you can record off of back up power. Other considerations- ThinkWare vs Blackvue (these are the other ones to consider).

[Fitcam dash cams](https://fitcamx.com/) are fully hidden. I bought one for my 11th gen civic. A little pricy, but having a fully hidden dash came made up for it.

My first died randomly and got a warranty replacement I haven't installed yet because it's cold and I have no garage to work in. Recently had an accident without the front cam working, of course.

There have been a number of firmware updates to solve this issue. I’ve not had a problem since I updated at the back end of last year. Do email support and ask them for the update.

I do agree it’s not great. Have you tried also formatting your card post the firmware update? I found doing that and resetting everything up from scratch seemed to solve the issue. I also now check monthly to ensure it’s working. I really should not have to do that, but it’s really the only way. Would I recommend the product? God no, but there is nothing else quite like it out there. Personally I wish Kia would give us what they give to Koreans, where the built in cameras record a bit like a Tesla.

I think the FitCamX does not handle a full SD card gracefully. You really need to erase on a regular basis.

Sadly I have no solution. What I can see is that latest firmwares at least stop some of the other recording issues. I don’t think it’s a perfect product, but like a lot of things, suspect it will improve in future.

When I hit a deer I wanted to check the footage but mine had seemingly stopped recording properly 3 months prior. I don't know if mine is doing the same as others though. Mine still records every time I start the car but once the file reached 3-4 seconds it stopped recording. My card was only about 2/5 full.

Checked mine this morning after seeing this post and was disappointed to find mine had stopped recording. Fortunately, it was working last month when I needed to recover footage from a deer-strike, so I at least feel like I got my moneys worth for one genuine use case.

Viofo is the best, but I got the fitcamx Fits perfect, easy install, works fine

Mom has the Toyota integrated cam. It's really just like any other camera, the stick it on usually to the left of the mirror. App for viewing footage is horrendous, the SD card is built into the cover so it's custom from Toyota. The fitcamx is better integrated than the Toyota integrated camera. I have a viofo with rear camera and wired into fuse box. Totally not worth the $500 other than you not having to install anything.

fitcamx. see if they have a version for your car. it's sick.

I have fitcamx in mine, and VIOFOs in the other cars

Another vote for the fitcamx, it looks oem and just blends in to your car.

Yes and then I went with a fitcamx because it looks like it’s part of the car.

FitcamX.. Plug-n-play.. Factory look.

FitCamX and I installed it myself (just the front, not rear). I had a Toyota OEM one on my 4Runner and that camera quality was just horrible compared to the FitCamX one. It’s very easy to install!

I’ve used a couple before. Just installed this fitcamx from Amazon and loving it so far! Very easy to use and their setup instructions are clear.

This is a fitcamx front and back dash cam. You can find them on Amazon and search your make and model. This was the back camera btw, but I have a front facing camera too connected to my rear view mirror. Highly recommend!

Just installed the FitcamX, anyone have this as well? So far so good, just notice the slightest rattle noise but I may be just too picky

Install was easy! Just don’t be too scared to pull hard to release the plastic connectors (took 5 min) Just note you gotta disconnect from CarPlay to access the app. Video quality is 4K, very good and works with my digital rearview mirror

Yeah you can’t run the app and CarPlay at the same time…sucks but no big deal

Just got a FitCamX, perfect flush fit in stock mirror fitting and has plug-and-play wiring. $170*

I stand corrected it was $155 after 10% coupon

However, it is a very high quality unit. Being perfectly flush for is a huge benefit IMO and super easy to install, actually a 10 min process and everything needed included in the kit

FitcamX. It's comes with a rear view mirror replacement cover for your specific truck with the camera built in so it looks oem and clean Hooking up a rear camera was easy too, it's just 1 cable that connects to the front camera.

FitcamX. See it here. Looks like it came from the factory and zero wires to hide. [link to Video](https://youtu.be/Huno13u2mJY)

I haven’t had that problem but to be honest. I probably haven’t checked it maybe 3 or 4 times since I had it. When I did check it the videos were there. Maybe you got a bad one or maybe I just happened to get lucky. I have been happy with it so far.

I'm not OP but I installed a fitcamX, integrated into the upper OEM sensor assembly. it gets power there also, so no messy wires and a clean OEM look. works great in my 24 XLE

no idea but I can't see how it would. the cam and electronics fit very neatly in the shroud. took me all of 10 mins to setup and install.

read the reviews for some tips if you get it; the included SD card doesn't allow auto rewrites, so get a quality SD card. it's a set and forget type thing. after months of ignoring it, I grabbed some vids as a check and it's still going strong.

I just did the FITCAMX fitment in my ‘24 718 GTS last weekend with some friends and turned out amazing. It looks super OEM and I’m very happy with the results. Prying at the trim pieces is a bit nerve wracking, but once you do and complete the install you feel even more connected to your car :)

I bought and installed the FITCAMX product in 6 vehicles now, one from each major continent. Installing it clean front and rear is not hard at all and I’m sure you can find a local installer. No wires or fuse tapping it goes into your rain sensor for the wiper.

The app is a little clunky, and when I'm setting it up in the Audi the car's CarPlay and camera fight for the phone's wifi connection. Since it plugs into the rain sensor there's no 'sentry mode' but when I had other dash cams that had this feature it never helped me. My only regret is not buying the model that has the front/back cameras, as after I installed the rear camera in a RAV4 it's really no that bad. I didn't want to risk it in the Audi since things seem really tight and there's tons of airbags and I didn't want to risk running the wires in front of them. The Japanese cars seem easier to work on for me. This guy has a feature for it where he used some android app to have it show on his MME screen, and shows how to do a 'clean install' on the rear camera running through the rubber conduits. I did that on a Rav4 and it was so clean I regretted not doing it in the LX and IS. [https://youtu.be/8CLqjEg-Gwc](https://youtu.be/8CLqjEg-Gwc)

I put it in my certified LX and it had no issues. When I sold the IS I removed it in the Carvana lot and replaced the factory cover in 5 minutes. I’m sure there’s always an edge case but they make it idiot proof in the sense you cannot plug it into the wrong thing. Wipers and radar cruise all still worked no issue.

4k FITCAMX on my 2024 Sierra 1500 - works perfect, looks OEM, no problem using app / downloading footage. Only got the front cam - installation for the rear cam looked too fussy for my liking.

I looked at both - the FitcamX has an f1.6 aperture vs f1.8 for the Mangoal. In theory the FitcamX should work better in low light which is why I went that route. Their customer service, mobile application, and website seem better too which gave me peace of mind. I have no concerns about warranty - GM would have to prove the dashcam caused other issues and it seems very unlikely to me. Fit and finish of the dashcam easily matches OE quality.

Nope everything is included in the kit - took me 15 minutes tops to install (I spent more time playing with the app than the actual install). The included dashcam wiring harness plug is a firm fit which is the only quirk I noticed. Demonworks channel on YouTube has a good install video.

I have it on my 992.1 Excellent OEM-like look. Video quality is good. Looks like it’s part of the car. The app kinda sucks, but I don’t plan on looking at the videos often, only when something happens so that’s fine.

Definitely Fitcamx. I use my tablet for connecting so don't face the connecting issue with phone wifi competing with car android auto wifi. I've had no problems with software, easiest i have ever used. Had an issue installing on a 2025 limited but had live tech support through website chat. Tech Definitely knew the instal and had helpful advice. Great video but still shots not so great. Better than my garmin.

We have it on our EV6 and EV9 as well! Two gripes: camera quality isn’t the best of the best (but still acceptable) and the power button being located right next to the save recording button is idiotic. Overall I think the small gripes are worth the fully OEM integrated look of the fitcam.

>So Fitcam is a scam and people should avoid buying that brand. Good to know! Why anyone would try to scam customers over something like a dashcam is beyond me I wouldn't say it's a scam, it's a working product that does the job and integrates well with the vehicle. I've had good experience with their support. Has anyone done a tear down of the two cameras? There are plenty of clones of products in the Chinese market.

> Amazon, and I included shipping which I think was over $20 even with Prime. Makes sense I remember it was more expensive on Amazon. Try fiddling with Exposure -1. I feel that it helps a lot with the night filming.

I bought a fitcamx dashcam for my corolla hatch. Was super easy to install. Basically plug and play with no wiring exposed anywhere. Has an SD card slot plus you can watch from your phone with the app too. They make em for other cars too. Definitely been happy with them so far. The cam also blends in to the oem look of the car.

I have one. Install was pretty easy, just some awkward positioning to get the clips to go together properly. Looks factory when done. Have had no issues with downloading videos. Got the 4k version so picture is high quality. Would recommend.

Just the front. It works for my needs and I didn’t want the extra complexity on the install of running wires to the back of the cab.

Did the FitcamX - it replaces the piece of plastic behind the rearview mirror near perfectly, don’t notice it’s there at all. For my experience- they emailed me to send them a picture of the piece behind the mirror to confirm the camera will fit the make of my vehicle then shipped it. I watched the instruction video they included and installed it less than five minutes with no fuss for the front cam. Note that you can’t use their app and CarPlay at the same time - with the phone app you connect to it like a WiFi connection instead of Bluetooth (fine for me I don’t watch it while driving). And it listed when I bought it that you can’t buy the rear camera separately…so I got both just in case I do want to also hook up the rear camera at some point later. Overall it’s been working well on mine though. https://preview.redd.it/oxvrxtiltyme1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f8fcace1ee406fb60a53c6a75f2777ab967cf3df

I wanted an oem looking one, but the fitcamx is trash in terms of capabilities. Get a real camera and have the wiring done right; it will be far better. Note that does not mean it has to be hard wired, just not hanging around out of the headliner and shit.

The fitcamx really does look factory. However, its resolution and especially its night imaging performance are bad. Look around at dashcam forums and you’ll see screenshots; it’s very convincing. I use a viofo A229 pro. Excellent on all those fronts. Check it out.

I have FitCamX, very discreet and picture quality is great

Install was like 10 minutes tops, got it without the rear

My fitcamx’s default setup had it in 1080 or something lower like that. I had to go in the settings on the app on my phone and change it to 4k. I bet some of these people haven’t done that.

Camera works fine. Issue I have is that camera automatically connects to my phone via wifi. For some reason my phone, Samsung S22, will not connect to the internet until I turn off wifi( camera still works) and switch to data. Anyone know how to force phone to use data before wifi??

Interesting, I installed mine today. First I had trouble with the power but that was resolved by connecting to the passenger side connector. Now I am trying to figure out the android auto/carplay situation. A couple of questions based on your experience so far Do you have your phone complete paired off from the car and just connect with a cable for carplay? Do we have to connect the app every time we start the car or will it auto connect? I've read in a couple of other posts that the camera still records you just won't have access as you aren't connected. Lastly, how's your experience been with parking mode?

Perfect, that's what I wanted to confirm. It would've been a headache to connect with the app every time for the dashcam to work. I didn't mean to insinuate that by asking about the parking mode lol. Good that you don't have to use it. I hope I don't need it hehe. How's your experience been with the data on the SD card, does it rewrite older videos? I've read quite a few people online saying it's buggy.

Just got the FitcamX. Loving it! I didn’t do the rear cam or fuse kit. Just don’t see the need. It looks like it was made by the manufacturer and was stupid easy to install. It is a Chinese product, but it’s pretty straightforward and the quality seems pretty high.

I can second the fitcamx recommendation. I have the front and back camera installed in my etron and it works great. ETA - I used a professional installer because of the back cam but the front camera installation is totally do-it-yourself and they have a great how to video.

As someone who have always used after market dashcams that stick to the windshield and wire them myself, i decided to get the fitcamx for the telluride. I absolutely love it. I can sit in the car and absolutely forget a dashcam exists. No wires, no dashcam in your face reducing visibility. That alone is worth the price premium

I have always used dashcams that stay up by suction, but on the telluride, it was obstructing my vision too much so i went with the fitcamx. No obstruction at all and no messy wiring.
