Vantrue N2x with the inside camera off so front camera has max resolution. Also hooked up Dongar Pro adapter to pre installed wiring in the headliner. I have it setup to record 4 hours after parking instead of always but zero wiring it’s lovely

I have the vantrue N2X dashcam for my 2015 Forester. I didn't hardwire it, I worked the 11ft power cord along the inside of the front passenger A-pillar and along the door jam and under the passenger side carpet and plugged it into the power outlet in the center console since I never used it anyway. I've only had it for only 3 months but I like it so far. Except it does randomly take pictures and idk why 😂

I have the Vantrue N2X. It has the low voltage shut-off module that disables it if the battery gets too low. The 5 gen battery is always low, so the vallet mode rarely works. I haven't looked into a solution yet.

[Go with the VanTrue N2X](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D9GRRXH5/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_PGXHPXAKZJ6D407Q1S0Y?linkCode=ml1&tag=lfttscl-dbc-20). It’s the next gen from the N2 Pro which is used by a lot of Uber drivers and has had good reviews and reliability. To get the function of recording for several minutes after engine shut off, have an extra battery bank or hardwire it.

That’s a great camera and exactly what I was going to recommend for you. Pair it with [a max endurance memory card](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B084CJ9T2R/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_WFFHDWCRNAPCVZJ2PGSF?linkCode=ml1&tag=lfttscl-dbc-20) and you’ll be good to go.

Not bad, I'm ordering one now. My dashcam is a venture n2 pro with a GPS mount but the cord is only 3feet. The 12v power outlet under the radio stopped working last year. I haven't found a cable long enough with a micro USB connection.

Amazon has dashcams available. You only need to clean the area of the window you apply the mount to, and run the cable from your outlet. I bought the "Vantrue N2X Dashcam" and it's awesome. It's got an app if you need to view things quickly and is pretty small. I like it anyhow....

Spend the $ and get a Vantrue. N2X is on sale on Amazon for $150. It records front and interior. Or splurge and get an N5S, also on sale on Amazon for $300, records front rear and interior from 2 angles. If not those then do some research and find one you like. Don’t get the cheap Chinese ones. Also, get a decent sized memory card for it.

I use the Mangoal because it’s specifically designed to look factory and uses the OEM wiring harness. If you don’t care about looking OEM, I use a Vantrue N2X in my Lotus. https://preview.redd.it/wggk8t8m16zg1.jpeg?width=1601&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=614cd4ed739288559ff7420bc126ca2f46bd00f8
