    Personal Dashcam Vids & Some W202 Porn

    I work as a delivery driver so rack up a fair bit of miles, and for the past couple years I made compilations of the interesting stuff my dashcam picked up on the road. I'm now getting back into the habit of making vids regularly and figured I'd share my latest one. It's also got some glamour...

    Thinkware dashcam wiring

    I have just bought a Thinkware F750 2CH dashcam (Hard-wire version) the only wiring diagram they have supplied is a basic 'stick it to your windscreen and plug it into the cigarette socket' (And I don't have the cigerette plug). The loom has one obvious earth, one yellow and one red wire each...

    Dashcam interferes with DAB radio

    I've just installed a dashcam and have found that it wipes out half my DAB channels. It is a DDPAI mini 2 and has wifi so I'm guessing that is what causes the problem. Anyone else had this and know a remedy?

    Hardwiring phone & dashcam into a C204/W204 ?

    I've recently bought a 2014 C Class Coupe and would like to hardwire the phone mount and perhaps a dashcam. The phone mount is the excellent Brodit centre mount but the lead trails down to the 12v socket at the moment. I want the phone mounted there because I use the sat nav from...

    Hi all, I wonder if anyone can help - I'm feeling a bit frustrated to say the least. My car is a 2002 C180 estate and I am trying to hardwire a dashcam.

    Blackvue DR650GW Dashcam + Power Magic Pro Install question

    Deliberated over which Dashcam to get for a while and eventually decided the Blackvue looks best, so picked one up last week. I'm going to install it this weekend, and the power magic pro just piggy back's on to a couple of fuses in the box. I've found an installation guide online for a new C...

    Dashcam theft?

    Anyone know anyone who has had their dashcam stolen? I've heard of sat navs being stolen but not dashcams. Yet dashcams are mounted on a sucker mount in the same way and are approx the same value. However it's not the value of my cam I'm too worried about its the glass damage and hassle.

    Dashcam - A Hinderance For Performance Car Drivers?

    Multiple Dashcam How?

    If I wanted to put three dash cams in the car, one on the back and one on each of the passenger side windows, what the best way to do it without hard-wiring everything. Like multiple usb outputs from the ciggy lighter or ones with long internal batter life? Cheers

    How many people here have installed a dashcam?

    Before Christmas 2014, I was involved in quite a serious car crash after I collided with a vehicle pulling out from a side road. Although I had a dashcam installed in the C class, I was driving my mother's SportKA. Thankfully, there were enough witnesses to uphold my version of events. Still...

    Dashcam - switched and permanent live

    I've bought a dashcam with a hardwire kit. On an E Class 212, where can I pick up power for either switched (ignition on activated) or permanent live? There's a motion detector (with battery protection) which would enable a permanent live to be used. What about the interior light...
