Can anyone recommend me one?

Are they easy to install?

acquirement, installation and operation of dash cams.

Here's my offering.

Long Story Short: this is our own company car, which we had at our UK sales office. Brexit shennanigans means we've closed that office and the operation there is now wound up, and so we brought it home.

Car is in perfect condition, and open to any inspection.

2016 535d. Mad, barking torque monster- you know the drill.
53k miles.

2016 [162] BMW 535d 3.0L, Twin Turbo, M-Sport, F10 - One Owner From New, Very High Spec.
313 BHP - 148g/Km Co2
Dakota Black Leather Electric Seats
Multi-Function Steering Wheel
18" Alloys - New Tyres [95%]
Rear Reversing Camera
BMW 3-D Sat Nav

Just had service at Colm Quinn (Galway) including the EGR recall upgrade done.

Price on the ad includes VRT: we have a TAN number its on Revenue's system as in our stock, but is not cleared yet. If you're looking to buy for NI/UK, we can sell as-is and you can take it out of the state now with a straight price without VRT.

We are getting a new LCV, so this has to go, so come and talk to (me/us). - PM for my contact details or use the ones on the ad. It's the cheapest here by a long shot, and there's no strings attached.

We had one before. Has a timing chain with no change interval as well from what I remember. Might be worth mentioning to a potential seller. If you ring a toyota main dealer and give them the reg they can confirm.

Selling my Nissan Qashqai, in Kilkenny City. I've had this for the last 3 years - 2nd owner. It's in great condition, lovely car to drive.
Selling because I bought my brothers car, who moved overseas.

Hiya,
Can I please ask what you all think of this?
https://www.halfords.ie/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductMobileDisplay?catalogId=15551&langId=-1&categoryId=306755&productId=1468545&storeId=11101

Seems like a good deal price-wise, maybe too good to be true?
Thanks!

If the max SD card is 16g I would forget about it . Better off to buy a 512 or 612 . Similar prices and they fit for 35e

Hello,

looking for advice on NextBase cameras.

Specifically, what is the difference between series 1 and series 2 cameras?

I presume series 2 are newer, more features??

I am looking at a 312GW at 65GBP on amazon.co.uk, free delivery.

But I'm worried that I should go for a 2nd series, i.e. a x2x model?

We replaced the 312s with the 322 a couple months ago.

Big differences are that you can connect to the cam. via WiFi to an app. on your phone to download clips and plug in a modular rear cam. There's also an emergency call and a couple of other features. Plus it's a (very strong) magnetic fixed mount not a sucker.

I think it's a worthwhile upgrade on the 312 albeit more expensive.

We got the nextbase SD cards to avoid any compatibility issues I hope.

Lads quick Question, Would we have any need for a Cpl Filter (for blackvue) here in ireland since the weather is not that bright ? ?

inforfun

I have to say, connecting your phone to your cam via wifi is really handy.

The Yi does that and it takes just a few seconds to just rip the part you want of the cam's storage.

Question: are there such things as "wireless" dashcams, and I mean that literally: our car's small and wires from the GPS are already a bit disruptive to driving, so I'm wondering about good dash-cameras that can run & run off battery, without the need to be connected to the charging port 24/7.

Heck, a GPS / dashcam combination would probably solve both issues - again, if a good, inexpensive one exists...

inforfun

A dashcam with a battery large enough to keep it powered for a while would be too heavy and pull your windscreen out of its frame....

A phone could double up as a satnav (i assume you mean that with gps) and dashcam with the right apps

pixelburp

Yeah, GPs === satnav. Hmmm ok then, what about combo units? There such a thing?

Basically just trying to limit the number of wires here; we use the satnav quite a bit but a little paranoid about other motorists these days, and wouldn't mind an un-intrusive option.

Looking to downsize, shes in good nick. Looking for a straight sale.

Are you using the cigarette lighter port (or whatever it's called these days)? If so, get it hardwired in and the cables will be hardly noticable. I have about 4 cm of cable on show, where the wire pops out near the rear view mirror to plug into my dashcam.

Yup. Garmin makes satnav+dashcam combos. They're not cheap though.

Can anyone recommend a cam that can read reg plates?

If you're ever unsure.... Call the reg out and recording will pick up what you say....

I find if the headlights are on the reg it's more difficult to pick up.

During the day not so bad....

Try get best resolution possible.
