When I search Amazon for "blackvue 550 dual channel camera" it says there's no match. Can you link to an Amazon product page?

As long as the cable runs along the SRS and not over it, that's not a problem.

you could carry construction cones in your trunk and just lay them out in spots next to yours

Man... please, for the love of all things holy, do *not* creep forward like that! Those parking stumps will eventually rip up your lip and do damage.

How do you you like the camera? is it hard to read the plates when they are about one car distance away while in motion? Also how is the night vision?

I am very over protective over my Lexus. I park far away from everyone and everything. I did the same with my '12 Acura TSX, then one day I was pretty much in a rush. took any parking spot at this grocery store, come out to a ding/dent on my rear passenger fender, an inch from the door... like really?! the one time I park next to someone..

always, fav spots are corners and next to support beams as it usually means an additional gap between the car next to you - at first my gf got annoyed that we didn't park really closer to the destination, now she does the same wasn't going to change that habbit..

and if no good options, park next to a something nice that looks like its been washed recently OR has a sunshield on as chances are they will not be moving for a while..

I even go as far as renting a garage near my work so I dont have to street park it, so its garaged at home, and at work.. thats next level.
