I think the hood over the clock is a better solution as it not only fixes the camera issue, but takes care of the glare on the windscreen. Someone on here was 3D printing them. Anyone remember that thread?

I remember that - there were two threads that I recall. The 1st was by @Reedy who was modifying a polarizing lens to fit (Chrono Clock Windscreen Reflection Solution - Rennlist - Porsche Discussion Forums)
The 2nd, which I think is the one you're asking about was by @Bob Z. who was working with Tom in California to 3D print a hood - discussed in this thread: Sports Chrono Ring - Page 3 - Rennlist - Porsche Discussion Forums

Looking at the videos again, aside from the red dash which seemed way more obvious than the black dash, I wonder whether just wrapping the silver ring of the SC in black would get rid of the biggest problem.

@MaddMike did you order Version A or B for your Spyder? And did you ever install the rear camera yet?

Thanks.

I didn't see any replies to this, but that spot is unlikely to work. I tried the same thing with my rear camera and it just captured the inside of the trunk lid. I had to mount it at the top of the window and allow enough slack for the trunk to open.

Hello all,

So at this point, the Y cable is just included in the kit? I know a few years ago people were having to reach out to the company directly to get that. I just ordered the FitcamX for my incoming car and just trying to figure out if they just plug in play without any additional wiring now.

For the guys/gals who have been running this for awhile how is everything holding up? Any long terms issues experienced?

Thanks,
PB

Yes, the Y cable is included in the kit.

The only downside I can think of is the Sport Chrono reflection on the windshield. I also have not yet attempted to mount the rear cam.

For the reflection,when I went to go drive the dragon or roads I want footage of, I put electrical tape on the ring of the sport chrono to get clearer video. A shroud or another option would be ideal. The first one I got would not record sound so they sent me a new one. No further issues to report.

Is the consensus to still tap into the overhead light for power, or is there a way to tap into the pre-wire for those who optioned it?

MaddMike

The Y-cable is for the overhead light. I do not have the pre-wire but you may want to reach out to FitcamX and see if they have a harness for that.
