Perfect. Thank you. I was looking at the plug and not the colored material around the line. My bad!

 

I have the dashcam and you can connect it via wifi to the Lexus Dashcam app and download the videos. It's a bit slow to download the video and kinda clunky to do. The iOS app does not allow you to otherwise edit the videos or share the movie files outside of the app, so no sending clips to your friends.

There is also a PC app with more functionality but it requires removal of the SD card to download the video. I think there is other telemetry stored and viewable on the PC app. I haven't used it yet because who wants to go to the trouble of removing the card, finding a card reader and downloading it?

While a nice feature, it seems like the dashcam is a version 1.0 option, and could use refinement and better integration with the other systems to make it more useful.

One would think they could tie it into the other vehicle cameras and in car screen, and make accessing the data easier or automatic. Or even automatically upload to the cloud to be accessible on an app when in range of a wifi network.

 

Has anyone has success with moving it to the passenger side?

 

Hi, I found this one on Amazon for $189.99, or $178.00 on AliExpress.

Fitcamx 4K Dash Cam Suitable for Lexus GX550 Premium Luxury Overtail 2024.

Any one have any experience with this model? They don't have any reviews on Amazon.

Thanks

 

I bought one directly from FitCam for my IS500. I bought the front cam only, without the added cables that turn it on if the car is bumped while parked. I did not want to run extra cables for the rear or the parking sensor. Overall, it is a decent no frills 4K camera for the price.

Pros:

• Plug and Play, no extra cables or fuse taps to power it.
• Took me about 10 minutes to install.
• Inexpensive and looks more like an integrated OEM camera than the OEM Lexus camera. It bugs me that the OEM is offset from the centerline of the car and takes up window space.

Cons:

• The max "Loop" recording is 5 minutes at a time. So, if you drive fifteen minutes, there will be three files. I would have preferred if it recorded to one continuous file while the car was running.
• You have to regularly sync it with the app in order for the time stamps to be accurate.
• Lack of "extras" such as GPS, but for the price it does a good job as a basic dashcam.

 

Thanks for the info, I guess you get what you pay for and it works for me and my budget, will check them out.

 

I thought the two Lexus options were meh. One was too large with a funky t shape and the other didn’t include a rear dash cam and could only be installed on the driver side. I decided to go with the Momentum M7. Small, can be installed on the passenger side and comes with a rear dash cam.

 

@Laxal50 could you share the install instructions you had on the factory unit?

 

I just purchased the FITCAMX dashcam with the polarization filter. It incredible easy to install and it looks great. I looked at the dealer installed ones and didn’t think I would like how intrusive it looked. The FITCAMX just looks sleek built into the plastic cover. The app is easy to use but I haven’t had a lot of experience with the video and auto overwriting yet.

 

Anyone know if you can move the oem camera up in the housing? Seems like I have alot of dash showing?
