Owner reviews for dash cam

I have the Garmin Mini 2. It doesn't have a screen and is only 1080p, but the quality is good enough, IMO — and, most importantly to me, it is tiny, hides behind the rearview mirror and doesn't look like a GPS from a distance.

I have the factory Toyota dashcam on my 2021 Sienna Limited. I added the factory dashcam because I wanted the installation to look clean and factory installed. The harness is already in place so installation was very easy. The factory dashcam has a parking monitor function that I like. The wifi transfer is slow, or you can pull the memory card from the camera and plug it into a computer, same thing I've done with all of my aftermarket dashcams.

I installed a Viofo A129 Duo. Front camera was easy enough to install - just mind the airbag in the A-pillar. Now, the rear camera... I unwisely chose to route the cable along the passenger side, meaning a lot of trim had to go off, and two more airbags to avoid. Then I broke one of the clips in the hatch wiring boots. If I had to do it all again, I'd try to fish the cable from the mirror assembly directly to the rear of the car. Then fish it through the hatch boot without foolishly trying to remove it. That said, a dual dashcam is incredibly useful, and Viofo models are great for the price. Installed this (along with a hitch step) to protect the car from those who can't park properly.

Good install info. I have an A119 with GPS and polarized filter. It is a great dash cam.

Thank you for this thread. I've installed 3 dashcams in our vehicles and quite familar with how to run them in the ceiling and along the door/windshield trim. Your picture of how to remove the radar/mirror cover gave me the confidence to gently pop that piece out slightly and run the wire through it. Now, I've got a great dashcam sitting behind the mirror and on the passenger side. Also, thank you for which fuse to tap into as that saved a lot of time. I also use the A119S and it's a great dashcam.

Go to the end of this thread and go back and look at my posts. I have a full walkthrough of mounting my dash cam

Haven't had any major problems with the camera or the wiring yet... Twice have gotten SD card error and ejected/reinserted card and no other issues. Wife was going down narrow street and hit mirror of another vehicle... Was glad to be able to see what happened... Also with 64gb SD card, had plenty of space and was able to go back and find it a few days later... I would purchase it again.

Yes sir! I have the A118/B40. Fits nicely behind the RV mirror.

I ended up choosing a Blackvue DR350.

I’ve tried 2 so far and just had bad luck. A FitCamX that caught fire during the install and a Viofo A129 but the software totally sucked.
