That's great.. your dashcam already paid for itself in one vehicle at least!
I had some ppl offering to pay me for the coolbox tray too, which is where I have to point out that these things were designed to be 'good enough' for me, not really consumer-grade. I noticed my LC rear camera housing...
Every time I saw a clip of an incident with a rear channel dash cam, I thought it added a lot of context to what happened and seemed like it was worth a try. Hopefully all of my drives are boring and I never need it tho.
A 3D printer is definitely not worth it just for this, but if you know the...
Good to know about the left channel, but the right still seems like the way to go and I hope I never have to do this again to decide :ROFLMAO:
Regarding the headliner: If you lift up the rubber door seal and expose the edge of the header, you can feel where it flexes and where it doesn't. From...
I had seen that, and wish it was the case for the North American market. Honestly, there's no excuse these days for manufacturers (besides tesla) not to have an SD or USB port just to enable a dash cam mode with factory cameras. At the very least provide a port near the rear view mirror just to...
I checked out the left wiring channel but it looked like it was terminated by plugs on each end, whereas the right one just had loose wires running through, so I didn't look back after that. For anyone else, the rubber channeling comes off of the white plastic bit so you can just leave that in...
Ha just did the same install today but thankfully didn't break anything. I went through the same rubber channel in the back, but I didn't pull out the white plastic part, I just removed the rubber from around it and left the plastic tabbed part in place seated in the metal. Had no idea it...
I installed a front and rear Viofo A229 Plus front and rear dash cam with a parking mode option. Here is the process I used in case it's useful to anyone else:
For the rear camera, I wanted something close to factory-looking. I designed a mount that snaps around the existing rear-view camera...
One option is an OBD2 port wiring harness like this one. These just plug into the port under the dash left of the steering wheel and then you route the wire up: tuck into the side of the dash, pop off the A pillar trim, route behind the airbag, up to the headliner and over to your location on...
Since it's sold with a matched spare, it would probably eventually be advantageous on the resale market to have a matched spare.
I was in the same boat as you: wanted a +35 to 40 offset for 17" or 18" wheels and wasn't thrilled with the known choices. I decided to get new tires for the 20"s in...
Good to hear. I wasn't thrilled with the smaller wheel/offset options right now, so going to try out the Nokians on my 20"s until I can decide on an 18 or 17 inch option down the line.
I drove a GX first and it nearly caused me to not buy either one. It felt lumbering and laggy and not at all fun to drive. I took it on the highway and never saw the MPG gauge go above 11 mpg. I started shopping for other vehicles and happened to try out the LC just for fun. Responsiveness felt...
