    Hi everyone! I just posted an update video where I tried to answer common questions (overheating, adapter quality, other dash cam compatibility, etc) about this mod, and talked about how it has held up after a few months in my truck. Check out the video here if you'd like: czcams.com/video/MwNLKwH8R3g/video.html
    Thanks for watching! ❤️

    Nice plug and play intro video. I do say that having a dash cam these days is a must have. I love that there is a power source via an adapter that's readily available, makes doing this so much easier. As for the seat patterns, I like the dark perforated leather (third from the bottom). Thanks Chloe and please keep up with content, its much appreciated.

    @OldSchoolDelta Před 3 lety +2

    This is amazing! I did the USB cable tucked in the headliner, down the A-pillar, under the dash and into a USB port in the center console, but after seeing this video... game changer :) Thanks for sharing this.

    Nice Video Chloe. The street view of the camera was pretty good. I have used a dash cam in my vehicle for over 4 years. I recorded my first crash between a motorcycle fleeing police and a young couple going to dinner. Had a few close calls but I am happy that I have had a camera in use, but never needed it yet. Thank you for the info. Very informative. Keep it up.

    It's my opinion everyone should have a dash camera that faces the driver. Police are more likely to remain the polite professionals they are if they know they are being recorded. And you have proof of having a seat belt on or not being on your phone.
