I have questions for those who know:
What are good systems ?
Where to buy ?
How much ?
Difficult to fit ? Much work involved ?

Lots of this stuff about. do bear in mind that if you install any electronic gear to a vehicle that is used on public roads , the equipment must be E marked to show that it conforms to EMC standards. most of this crap fs is not or marked with C E which means nothing in vehicle emc standards.

Are you serious with that?
So I can't just install any radio I want?
Or maybe my MP3 transmitter - made in China - is illegal?

I've got roadhawks.

Some suggs in the Dash cam thread.

Get one that starts and stop recording automatically, so you don't forget to turn it on/off. You also want one that is always recording and writes over old data automatically.
