Since @bigdodge deleted his thread, I thought I would start another. This camera looks pretty sweet. Very clean install compared to the cameras that mount to your windshield or dash.

i'm cheap $100 dash cam from reputable amazon seller and plugs into cigar lighter with usb adapter at outlet dash tray with short cable and sticks to bottom of windscreen with supplied static plastic instead of directly to glass. video is perfect as most are no matter what the price. to each their own but i'm not going thru the trouble of taking things apart on the truck.

So for those wondering about FM reception. My rear camera cable is routed along passenger side headliner. I finally switched radio to Gzm to test out and have zero loss of reception with camera running. Even the station that I further away and would have been affected the lost still came in like it did before

Serious question, what's your point? I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say the people who bought these particular fitcamx cameras happen to like a cleaner look. The best part about living in a free society is the fact you can do whatever you happen to like to your own personal things. If your particular set up works for you then by all means have at it and good luck

Yeah, he made a point to quote my first post like I was forcing the FitCamX on him. Don't like it? Fine. I couldn't care less about him being a cheap, lazy slob.🤣 Keep it to yourself or start another thread about your $100 dash cam.

Got the FitCam X installed, wasn't bad but beware, if you ordered the Kia/Volvo hardwire cable and they confirmed the vehicle, they changed the cable to the Ram cable that doesn't work. I didn't find out until I had my A-pillar out and the wire ran to the fuse box so double check them.

Camera fit is great and looks factory, you can barely see it from the outside and if you weren't looking, you wouldn't know it was there.

Now, the bad news. The camera works with the 512Gb SSD however the camera cannot see past 256Gb. I'm going to format the card on my computer later and see if that makes a difference.

Test Video. Sound did record but I'm turning that off, no need for that extra data

Not sure I'm satisfied with the video quality

Sun may be some of that, I'm going to play with the exposure setting.
I dont have the hardwire cable installed, I emailed them and asked them to send me the cable I ordered, not the one they think I need.🤬

Audio is good to have for accidents.
