Is anyone planning on installing a dash cam in there new NX?

If so what type? DIY or professional install?

I installed a BlackVue 2ch in my 2018 ES 350 and am very happy with it.

 

I've always wanted one. I was looking at doing the Thinkware U1000 4K UHD Dual-Channel unless something new/better comes along before I get my order.

 

I've seen these installed on the RAV4 Primes

.


Not sure if they will be making one for the Lexus

 

The OEM look to this is nice. It would be nice if the high quality brands explored this concept.

 

They have one for Lexus, but not really for the 2022.. although their title says to 2022, it's not for the 2nd generation. I had asked the question on Amazon and they replied.

Ordered another Blackvue DR900S-2CH

There is a video out there showing an install on the prior NX.

 

Just installed dash cam.

Took me about an hour for both the front and rear cameras

This one has a few new features my DR900S-2CH doesn’t have.

 

Looks nice, where did you make the connection for power?

 

Fuse panel, drivers side.

 

Has anyone tried the OEM version that Lexus will install?

 

My dealership didn’t even know about the Lexus branded one. They installed a UNAVI UGD621 front and rear with GPS module.

 

I believe the OEM version only records when vehicle is ON.
ie. OEM dashcam does not record when your car is parked. Which seems to defeat half the purpose of a dashcam.

 

In October 2020 my UK dealer fitted front and rear Nextbase cameras to my brand New UX.

I asked for the same for my NX due for delivery in February and they said that they no longer fit rear dash cams because they had a number of customers complain that the DAB was not finding stations on the radio and it was traced back to interference from rear dash cams.

I do recall that the one time I tried to use the DAB search on the radio it did not find and simple stations like the BBC. I didn’t complain at the time because I almost never use the radio in the car.

 

BlackVue with Magic Pro does parking mode. It will save “incidents” and it’s very easy to download videos.
On my ES, while parked, it captured a woman getting hit in a crosswalk. The police were so excited when they saw the video.
GPS, night vision are excellent.
When I post pictures they aren’t as clear. Here is an accident that my ES captured one evening.


Ford rear ended a stopped car full speed

Ford bounced off the car it rear ended and was coming directly at me but stopped

The reason I believe in dash cams? A woman ran a stop sign and hit me when I was making a left turn. 2016 ES, 12 months old, they wouldn’t total the car. They cut the front rails off, everything had to be disconnected and reconnected. 62 days in the body shop. Sold it the day I got it back. Thank God the police found her at fault! No one that witnessed it stopped or called in.

 

The Canadian version of the OEM dashcam does record when car is parked. Just up to 60 seconds after detecting impact.

Parking Surveillance mode will begin recording upon detecting impact, up to 60 seconds.
