I have x2 Garmin Mini 2 (one front and one rear) - I don't like bulky dash cam with screens. Our Rangers here in AUS have a USB port in the rear view mirror housing which we can use to power a front dash cam. So I just got a second Garmin Mini and put it on the rear window. I power that one from the USB port on the rear centre console - This way I didn't need to bother running power and video wires from front to back

The dash cams themselves are great - tiny, don't make stupid startup noises when powering on, no screens to blind or distract you at night and a decent ios app that actually works.
Quality and level of detail is great in both bright day light and night (even though it is only 1080p)

Only issues it doesn't have speed or GPS connections - but that's not really an issue or dealbreaker for me

I have two Thinkware ones. The F800 and the U1000. Both great.

I also use the OBD2 power port things they sell. Makes a clean install and hardwiring simple.

Replying to this so I remember. I have a Viofo in the box- seems nice. In the Explorer I have a Chortau (or something like that) That one is harder to work with, still not 100% sure how to use all the features even after having it a few years now. Good part is it doubles as a reverse camera. Ill update this when I install the Viofo.

Update: Viofo installed- works great, need to dial in the shock setting- sometimes over bumps it thinks I got in an accident hahha. But overall very very happy, quality good, GPS pretty accurate, and easy to use.

Recently installed the RexingUSA M3 3-Channel 1080p Mirror Dash Cam. Works great for my needs.

I installed the WolfBox G900 Pro into my Raptor after I put a Camper on the bed and couldn't see anything. I routed a wire to the back rack, the mirror screen is a wrap around the OEM mirror. Touchscreen. Has a app to get videos from. Front and rear facing. Would recommend.

Looked at that one too. It was also very nice with a lot of options.

Pictures attached.

I need to bury a few wires that came out but other than that, it works great.

I have a BlackVue DR750S 2ch. It’s been in 3 vehicles already. Had to order a new power cord after removing it from my last Ranger. Just waiting for it to warm up so the plastic isn’t so brittle.

I also have a Viofo A229Pro hardwired. It is my first dash cam, and I liked the performance and price of this unit.

Nice install! I'll take a look at that camera model. I would be interested in how you think the video after you run it for a bit.
