@Oceanwolf , I'm glad my video helped! It definitely feels good knowing that I helped some people out with that dashcam installation video!

I also used your other video to connect to permanent 12V source through OBD II port. The cable of the connector at the kickpanel is too thin, I was afraid to damage it by using a quick splice connector. I went to auto zone and bought a memory saver. I couldn't wait for an amazon purchase. After $16, I got the thing working. My only problem is it look lik I installed the Rear Camera upside down. The software allows you to watch it, the box had an extra sticky pad, maybe I will just take it off and reinstall.@Oceanwolf , I'm glad my video helped!

What sensitivity settings do you use on your Blackvue? I have mine set to factory defaults and driving on SF streets I got dozens of impact notifications..for every dip, pothole or manhole cover literally.
I checked the notification options and there doesn't seem to be an option to disable them while in driving mode. Very irritating when your phone keeps buzzing due to false alarms.
HI - Still true about the 500MB free plan working for your use?It doesn't constantly upload to the cloud, the cloud feature simply allows you to view the footage directly from the camera if an incident were to occur such as if the dash cam detects impact and you receive the push notification. I have been doing that currently for months without an issue

For anyone attempting this install, you don't need to remove the trim on the hatch (very stiff and hard to remove) and avoid breaking clips. Simply attach the blackvue cable to the largest, stiffest cable tie you can find with something like string. Then use the cable-tie to find an open path through the trim and pull it through, along with the cable. Keep poking around until you find a path. Pull the trim down slightly and shine a light through to help figure out a good spot.@Nerdy_Engineer I also watched your video and did the 2-ch install myself. I, too, ended up breaking a few tabs removing that trim on the hatch. I followed your tip and lowered the hatch so I can get a straight shot through the rubber hose connecting the boots.
@K-MTG I got the Netgear Zing hotspot from FreedomPop with the basic free 500 MB/month plan and set the BlackVue cloud setting to notify events also. I did use it to watch a few short clips over the cloud and I was amazed how few MBs are used during the streaming. I have video on both channels set to best as well. By the way, if anyone gets the Netgear Zing from FreedomPop, they're sending them out with the wrong battery so initiate a support ticket right away so they can send you the correct one.
Thanks to both of you for sharing your knowledge.

Yes, actually Calibred Customs has done many. He's the installer on my 1st post.Does anyone have any experience with installing 4 Blackvue cameras on the MX? One on each side, front and rear? Seems like that is what you would want to do. If it is simple....
Was there any additional hardware needed? have you had any issues?Yes, actually Calibred Customs has done many. He's the installer on my 1st post.
He does travel to all states.
I'd give him a call and see when he will be in TX.
No addl hardware.Was there any additional hardware needed? have you had any issues?
Is anyone still using Blackvue Cloud with Freedompop 500 mb free plan? I've read above that the Netgear router can be just plugged into one of the USB ports and that provides constant power/constant hotspot for the dash cam. Any recent experiences this this?
