Merci beaucoup, but are you sure this FW will work with the dash cam in question? 'Tis not a BlackVue, methinks.
We are talking about this one in this thread: Amazon.com: TOPFIT Customized Car Dash Cam, Mini Driving Recorder,Car Dashboard Video Recorder Camera with 32GB for Tesla Model X (Black): Car ElectronicsOh, I thought you were using a BlackVue. What kind of dashcam are you using
For me, I would wait for some one to confirm compatibility with AP2 MX before purchasing.
That's the one that they recommended to download, but I really hope there's a better one out there that's compatible.
Well, the installation was as easy as promised, and the fit is nearly perfect (I have a slightly larger gap than the original panel had - not sure if the two connectors might be wedged in the way somehow - getting them in was the hardest part.) They included a nice soft pry tool to get the housing open, a charge completion card, and a very pink silcone key fob protector in the box, too.

SmugMug appears to have recoded it to 1080P, so it might not actually be a great tool for checking quality. I don't have a YouTube account...
Thanks for sharing. Quality seems very reasonable at this price-point (especially considering the self-install). How is the nighttime video?
@Saghost getting a "Page Not Found" for your video link
Added one of these to my Amazon wish list for my AP1 MX. Looking forward to seeing some image quality video(s).
@Saghost thanks for update, watched/skimmed all 3 videos. These are more than perfect for me. I cannot justify paying someone to install a dash cam given that I've been driving 25 years and never had one. I can't say I need one but for $299 and DIY install as easy as this one is kind of a no brainer to me. Quality seems more than adequate for what you get.
Did you just leave it with the 6-8 hours of video recording? And does it indeed power on only when the vehicle is on, right? I wonder, if you precondition the car does the power come on? Since it steals 12v off the mirror it probably uses some other accessory power though if I were a betting man.
Almost bummed I didn't see this earlier. I fly to Tampa FL on Saturday, and with as easy as this install appears to be, I'd totally have placed it in the car before my 1200 mile journey home for just-in-case needs. Ha!
Just ordered one off Amazon. My wife was pleased to know that she can call that an early birthday gift -- saves her the hassle of trying to figure out what I want. Though something tells me I'll still get something else from her.
From what I saw elsewhere (Either in this thread or on Amazon review) it sounds like a properly formatted 128GB micro/mini SD card would work, if more video is desired. In my case I really think I'll be more than happy with the number of hours you estimated. Chances are good that, if I want the video, I'll download it to my phone swiftly.
These files that are ~90 MB at the high end-- is there one file for every 60 second interval, I assume? Sounds similar to the CCTV system we have at my office with a HDD recorder and NTSC cameras. How long does it take to transfer the file from the wifi-based car-cam over to your cell phone? I saw somewhere on this thread it takes a while and the app must remain in the forefront -- is that still the case?
Sorry for all the questions-- I guess come early next week I'll find out for myself. But just preparing myself for what is ahead (oh the excitement!)
Once again, Walter ( @Saghost ) you are positively great! Thank you for sharing the videos. I've downloaded all 3, and again I must say that for me and my personal desires, the quality is more than adequate. I've heard other brand names being thrown around, and I've watched my fair share of dash cams before on YouTube. Given the need/application, I can't really see higher quality being worthy of the price. But that is just my opinion .. others may want crazy HD for some reason.
