    None yet, need ideas!
    I'm sure this is not the first post, but as new models come out and with plenty of online deals going on now, I'm looking for some good recommendations on a dash-cam.

    I'd prefer to not have cords or wires showing at all (is that even possible?).

    Not a big fan of cigarette lighters as a power source.

    Please share the good and the bad, thanks!

    Does it also have a rear camera? Also, did you self install & what skill level is needed?
    Thanks.
    Thanks.

    no on the rear facing cam but you can pair multiple units to your phone for what ever angle you wish I installed mine in about ten minutes very easy

    10 minute install! What power did you tap into? Is it bluetooth or how did you do that in 10 minutes.
    Great upgrade!

    I have a 12v three plug socket on the passenger side console I ran the wire thru the headliner down the a pillar under the dash then just plugged it in , it will connect with your phone via wifi so you do not need the remove the micro sd to get vids
