Thumbs up Installed Dash Cam

Installed the Blackvue DR650S-2CH dash cam in my 2018 yesterday... only took about an hour... The front and rear cameras are super clear.
I've been a little nervous after my 2016 was hit from someone running a stop sign.
Also has the parking mode that will record/capture/keep if someone bumps the car in a parking lot...

Mind giving us an update in a few weeks how you like it? I've been looking for one similar with both front and back video and for parking protection

Installed the Power Magic Pro, with the Blackvue, which powers the cam when parking. I set mine to 6 hours and it monitors the battery level and will shut off when the voltage drops to the level you chose.
Front and rear cameras are very clear. I do get glare off the rear brake housing.
so far I really like this dash cam.

Dash cam is great. I hooked up using fuse taps connecting the hot to the PTL fuse and the ignition source to the P/outlet.
Goes into parking mode automatically and after you start the car starts normal recording

thank you for taking the pic of fuse box with the AAF. I was trying to figure out where I was going to do the AAF on the ES300h. I'm sure it would be similar 2017.
