I won't really know until it shows up... might get here today or tomorrow, but I'm out of town Wed-Sun so if it doesn't show up in the next 36 hours I don't get to play with it until next week.

Surprised these things still cost that much. I got a similar unit more than two years ago for roughly the same price. Wasn't directly useful, thankfully, but on the plus side - I can pull the sd card and have a look at autox course at speed between my runs. Been thinking about picking up another one to face the rear (or move existing one to the rear and use my smartphone to record the front).

Well then, we expect a full DYI write up in the DYI section especially how to snake the power wire the interior trim so there aren't wires hanging about.

Dayum. I just found this too XD So went and searched the forum to see if anyone else is talking about it and reading what you guys say.

Anyone have it installed on their car yet? I wanna make sure that the parking mode works without any modifications to the car's battery. Apparently the BRZ or any Japanese cars may not provide power to the camera when the car is turned off.

*wish I had this installed when I had sex with my GF in my BRZ*

Received it but haven't had the time to install it yet. Probably in a week or two. I'll do a full write-up on it.

Lots Of Varieties of camera out there.. These Cameras tend to malfunction easily. I have tried all kinds .. Cheap Ones and Expensive Ones.. So choose wisely..
Give Fort digital Brand a miss.. i paid over 300 dollars and it got spoiled almost four times.. Even with warranty for a year.. have to keep going down to get it fixed.. I threw it away at the fifth time. Useless product.. overpriced..
Any of here worth a punt? http://www.szswill.com/car-camera.html

DarrenDriven 03-09-2014 04:28 PM

I have had no problems with this camera, and I am thinking of buying one for each of my other cars, too.
