Does anyone know why the rear camera videos don’t show up on the computer when looking up the videos directly from inserting the micro SD card into the computer? My front camera videos show up but not the rear ones. I’ve confirmed that the rear camera is working because the videos display when I look through my phone. I just wanna view them on my computer because it’s so much easier than to connect and reconnect the camera and CarPlay to my phone.

I ordered the prewire for the factory dash cam and then I saw some of the installs and decided that the mounting and cam were too intrusive. It looked at the factory mounting instructions any they mount the cam low and very much in what I feel to be obstructing the windshield. The mounting position along with the 'feature' set of the Porsche dash gam makes it a no-go. I have another plan in place -> Garmin 67W.
I did see and like the mounting of the Fitcamx 4K. I am disappointed it does not have GPS.

I like mine and like how it’s got both the front and back cameras integrated with the car, it’s good quality, and records even when parked when detecting motion. The only downsides were that I had to have the dealer install it because it’s more complicated than you’d think and I didn’t want to mess something up and it was even difficult for them to get it set up on my phone. If you have a dealer do it, take it somewhere that actually has experience doing it in the past or they won’t know what to do. Another downside is that I haven’t figured out how to watch footage from the rear camera on my computer. I can only watch the footage from both front and rear camera on the app on my phone.

I have the camera in my ‘23 and am about to take delivery of ‘24.
I haven’t yet decided if I will transfer the camera to the new car.
if I do I will buy the OEM camera harness and mounting dock.
It costs a reasonable $32 and is a straight forward install.

where are you getting the parts? I asked my dealer and they said they couldn’t get them

Really sensitive motion sensor that gets activated by minor road imperfections, I should adjust that at some point.
