Dashcam

Hi All,
I am thinking about buying dashcam for my D3, any thoughts as to what is reliable and best to get?
Cheers

There's loads of posts on here about different dashcams and peoples opinions on them

Try doing a search for Dashcams Smile

Personally I chose a BlackVue Very Happy

Limo Tint
Blackvue front & rear dashcam
Cruise control switch pack
Bodsy's remote for FBH

I've just got a nextbase 312, it was / is on offer in Halfords with £25 off. Seems reasonable spec for £75

Time will tell how reliable it is.

There is plenty choice now and most of the more budget camera's have wifi or Bluetooth for transfer of files.

Personally I find the ones that's been about a while are over priced, and a lot of other manufacturers are sharing their lenses and other hardware.

Hi, I have a Roadhawk HD in my wifes D4, with a power feed taken from the rear view mirror. Excellent quality. I now have one in each of our cars and no issues.

Hope this helps

I just fitted the Nextbase 412GW which cost £99 from Halfrauds pre Xmas, £109 now. Hardwired in 20 minutes from a piggy back fuse (supplied) and run up the A pillar and across the roof lining. Works a treat with the Iphone via Wifi and sits neatly behind the mirror.

I'm running this one after years using Blackvue. So far it's excellent.
Not sure if that link will work. If it doesn't look up DDPai_M6Plus.

I don't suppose you can post some pictures? I've been debating how best to hardwire mine in with the least disruption and tidiness.

Thanks

Really easy, one bolt undoes A pillar trim on passenger side, one screw loosens passenger sun visor so headlining is loose.

Feed USB cable from fuse box behind glove box, up A pilar and tuck in headlining.

Don't block air bag and best to push cable down into fuse box.

MrTom

Can you tell me where the bolt to loosen on the a pillar trim is

Is it behind the airbag logo ?

Also do you need to take the trim off or just loosen

Thanks

You need to take the trim off, but the bolt is behind the airbag logo. Use a flat bladed screw driver or trim tool to carefully pop it off. Undo the bolt and then the top of the trim falls away and you just lift it off

Apologises for highjacking this thread. I only have a cable with a cigar socket plug on it. Is there an easy way to feed the dashcam from the cigar socket without having the cable showing? If not which fuse is the best to use and how do you connect to it?

I would have thought any spare fuse slot, or even piggy back off one of the cigar lighter fuses.
Use one of these

I have an aux port extender in the glove box a bit like this

which is connected to one of the front sockets routed up inside the dash.

Alternatively you can power with a piggy-back fuse like in this thread
http://disco3.co.uk/forum/topic145901.html?highlight=piggy

Just find one that goes on / off with ignition.

Thanks guys the piggy back adapter looks ideal. This looks like it just provides a live feed so I presume I will still need to find an earth point?
