Don't want to see those wires, any recommendations? Dealer one cost $600 plus tax. Thank you!

 

Do you want dual cameras or just the front? You're going to see a bit of wires as it need to either go to your mirror or up the headliner to travel. Even OEM Lexus has a wiring coming from it. But I was able to hide most of the wiring.

I have a VAVA dual dash cam kit on my NX and a Viofo A129 dual on my Q5, both work wonderfully but I wish I could swing the cost of a 4K camera set.

 

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I like BlackVue, pricey but quality.

I agree. I have 2 of their battery packs I use for park mode. Saves you from worrying about a dead car battery.

 

running a long USB cable from the mirror area to USB port is relatively easy. I did that for an NX, RX, and IS.

 

I've run Vantrue N2Pro and N4. Zero Complaints.

I've also run Rexing V1P without issues.

All mounted to rearview mirror mount (as opposed to suction cup or 3m tape) since windshield is lightly tinted.

 

What model do you have? On the Audi forums there's a lot of hate for the newer Blackvues, seems like quality has gone down. Can't speak for it myself as I can't afford them lol

How long do these battery packs last for you with ignition off? Do they recharge enough on short drives? You got a stunner collection of cars, are you running Blackvues on all of them?

 

Each battery powers a Garmin for ~48 hours in Park mode. The Urus install has cam at the front and the rear (each with their own battery). Takes 80 minutes to charge from zero when connected to 12v outlet (max 5A), 40 minutes if hardwired to battery (full 9A). Mine are connected to 12V switched outlet. The batteries are slick as they have BATT/GND/ACC output pins to put the cam in Park mode when ignition is off (with the appropriate cable).

 

@Lexuswiz
I'm running an older model, DR900S-2CH, I managed to get my dashcam through a group buy so it was significantly cheaper at the time. I haven't really looked into the X series dashcams since I think the main selling point is the LTE/Cloud connectivity. The DR750X-3CH does look tempting just for the interior camera.. lol

 

I have an Apeman "cheap" dash cam in my Tacoma. It was like $50, front facing only... but it works great. Has a microSD card... i've tested out the video quality a few times and its actually really great. I have the chord hidden up in the headliner, ran down the a-pillars and then just plugged into a 12v receptacle. Starts up on vehicle startup. Couldn't ask for more (for my needs). Would highly recommend.
