So what is needed with this to make it work (if not being hardwired)?....an SD card, a suction cup?

This card is recommended on dashcam forum:

This is the mount I got, works well, good adhesion. A 3m sticky mount for mounting on rear view mirror was included in box.

Add it to your amazon wishlist, it regularly drops in price under the lightning deals.

Lads how do u suggest wiring this ? Just got the official one for 24...

"Add a circuit" thing, widely available online - plug it in to the fusebox, add a cig lighter socket to it (cheap to buy everywhere) and you're sorted. :cool:

The cable supplied is long enough to hide between the windscreen and roof, feed it down pillar and under steering wheel to cigarette lighter.

With only the live coming off those "add a circuit" things, do you ground the additional cig lighter socket yourself yeah?

joujoujou

Obvoiously, yes.

Have a look for "add a fuse" on eBay. They uses an existing fuse (you decide which one, cig lighter is good) to create another 12v line with its own fuse added on. From there I soldered the line to the circuit taken out of old USB cig adapter and installed it behind the dash. USB cable from dash cam can be pushed in behind window trim.

Hey folks, I got 4 of these on a whim for some vehicles I no longer have, never got around to installing them so selling them now. I've one buyer asking if they will automatically lock the video file during a crash (on impact) so if they have a shock sensor or not for that? Any ideas?

How have people found them in general? I see a few complaints throughout the thread. I got the Samsung PRO Endurance cards too, so hoping there won't be any issues with them for anyone. They are all still sealed so hoping no issues with any of them

Yea, there is a sensor with three sensitivity levels.

Have mine about 2 or 3 years and cannot fault it.
