Dash Cam head unit?
I was looking at getting a new headunit that supports Apple CarPlay and it seems like a few have like 4 camera inputs. That's cool, but I can't rightly figure out if they record the input like a dash cam. My friend's Tesla is always recording for example. Is there any setup like that out there?
I was looking at this one for example: https://www.kenwood.com/usa/car/excelon/dmx907s/

Your friend's Tesla has a bigger battery than your car, not sure you would want it to always record, if by that you mean when off.

The unit you linked is designed to work in tandem with their dash-cam for that purpose. https://www.kenwood.com/usa/car/dash...mera/drv-n520/ If you got both, then the dash-cam would be able to record while the vehicle is both on and off if set up properly. Then, when the vehicle is on, you could control it through the head unit. The recordings are captured and stored via the dash-cam in that case. |

I wasn’t worried about car off. I really just wanted multiple angles of recording while I was doing auto cross or track days without like buying a bunch of GoPros or something. I’ll look at the Pioneer unit for sure! Thx

It will handle two cameras though. Not sure if they have a higher model with more.
