What type did you get ?
I have BMW’s Advanced Car Eye 2.0, front and rear, dealer supply & fit. Not cheap but worth the peace of mind. Mrs plops has a £35 unit from Amazon in her car, which does the same job albeit forward facing only. Bloody cable running behind sun visor, down windscreen pillar, through glove box and into socket drives me nuts even as a passenger.

The built in ones are certainly very neat - I got mine chucked in as part of the negotiations on the px.

The stand alone units can be very neat if they are hard wired to the fuse box.

My one in the van has a built in GPS so it tracks your journey and shock stop ( protects the recording in case of accident ).. You can download the video and beside the main footage another window opens displaying the route and speed
It is an R300 two camera jobby.. A couple of years ago I took orders for them from member on here and on Motorhome Fun, figuring if I ordered enough ( say 20 units ) I coud get the price down as they retail at circa £80.
FOUR HUNDRED AND FIFTY in total I ordered in lots of 50.. Got the unit price right down to £29


I put the wires ( voltage feed and GPS antenna ) under the windscreen rubber at the top, then under the plastic trim of the A post, finally in to the back of the dash from the bottom of said A post

A whole fresh salmon. Smoking it tomorrow on the barbie. Something different from the inevitable turkey.

Mine was £475 installed. It does have GPS, tracks my journey and speed, and does allow downloads to a phone. Another good feature is it auto starts on a proximity alert too i.e. if someone or something comes too close when the car is stationary and the engine is off.

Um, one of the girls (who’s and ex-employee of our gym) asked the gym owner if she could open this morning for a couple of hours for a select few. I was in there at 8. On Christmas morning. And I’ll be there tomorrow. So translate that to your terms, stuffing your chops with mince pies and chocolate. Fatty.

I wasn’t there today nor will I be tomorrow as I’m in excellent shape. Unlike you who requires daily cardio due to your failed chin/s reduction.

Anyway.... Merry Christmas darling (y)
