Dashcam?
- Thread starter Bytor
- Start date
You might want to wait until version 9 of Tesla’s car OS comes out. Elon Musk has hinted that the built in cameras will be available for use as a dashcam in the future, and I am hoping they will be available in version 9. Of course, it may not be included, or what is offered may be inferior to a traditional dashcam.

I installed the front camera ($20 cheap one, that I had on old car) for now. But, I am going to replace it with front/back camera with parking recording (Blackvue DR490-2CH) as requested by my boss (wife). I ordered one from BlackboxMyCar Canada | Dash Cam Experts | Car Camera | Dash Cam Store and they seem to have good price on refurbished version.
The wiring is not too difficult to do. There are several videos available on YouTube for the reference. It took me around 30 mins to do. The next one (front/back) will take a bit longer as I will need to wire to rear window. I'm planning to install the rear camera after getting my Model 3 serviced and window-tinted.

A nice gift. I was definitely going to get a dash cam but this will save the money and trouble.

Dash cam installation on the Model 3 was much much easier than I thought. After watching a few YouTube videos I decided to run the wire to the cigarette lighter power in the center console. The covers pop out very easy. Entire installation took about 12 minutes.
