built in dash cam?

[LangWWilliams]

Has anyone tried one of the dash cams that replaces the trim piece above the mirror with one with a built in camera?
It is for the Euro market with the power already above the mirror but I assume it could just be tapped as done on other threads.

I would think the image would be bouncing a lot. If you have ever taken that plastic piece off before you know how loose it clips in and moves around.

Interestingly, ALL of the reviews for this item were a "Customer Review of Free Product".

Here's something to consider and just because it says 4K, doesn't mean it's any good at doing the job it was intended for. Project Farm on YouTube does extensive tests on a variety of things, one of them being dash cams... and you'd be surprised at the clarity issues with most cameras, even some high dollar units...

The new 4430 version fits the Ranger Raptor perfectly. Easy setup and video is great front and rear. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GY474F52?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

Just snaps in, loose. Any sall bumps or overload riding and the video will be iseless.

That hasn't been my experience. It's snug in place, doesn't rattle, and the videos are clear.

Have you been offroad with it?

I have not been heavy baja mode rally with it yet, but I would probably use an action camera then, just like I do with my RS on the track and not rely on a dash cam. I have the dash cam for the other drivers here in the PNW. Slow rock crawl and dirt/rock road stuff it has been fine.

My factory mirror mount/camera cover is not loose one bit. Are you suggesting the dash cam units don't snap in tightly?

I put the FitCam X 4430 in my 2025 Lariat. It went in very easily, though I did need to carefully use a heat gun to get the unit to fit without any gaps to the headliner. The unit works great and it looks perfect! I highly recommend, and I did not receive a free unit for evaluation. I think I paid $180 for it.

I'm happy with mine. The best part is you don't have to do anything like remove it and hide it when parking. The only thing you have to remember is to format the card once in awhile. The video is not shaky at all and the trim fits tightly.

I added a small red bump dot to the button you press to lock a video since I can never remember which button it is.

Mine is the fitcamX brand, can't speak for the one that was linked in the OP.
