anyone install a blackvue or other brand of in car dvr?

pictures of the mounting area and your opinion of the install in a GT4? definitely interested with Black Friday shopping but want the wiring to be clean and discreet.

 

I had the BlackVue DR650GW 2-channel system installed in my car. It was done by a professional, so I can't comment on how hard it was to wire. I do know that the interior was completely stripped out (I had ALP "parking sensors" installed at the same time) and it's the cleanest installation I've ever seen.

 

I use an A118c that's available on Amazon from multiple sellers. Street Guardian makes a version with a better Sony Exmor sensor that has some of the best night recording performance. Installation for the front is easy as you can tuck the cable under the headliner and weather stripping along the doors. There's a fusebox you can tap under the passenger footwell or you can be lazy and power it with with the cig outlet there. Use a higher quality USB power inverter or you'll get radio interference. I got an Anker one off Amazon.

^^^how do you tap the fuse box? My camera is powered through the cig lighter which also indirectly prevents me from smoking

 

Only camera I use is a SmartyCam!

 

Did you use power magic pro with the system and did your installer hard wired the power magic pro?

 

Yup, installed under the dash and reachable while sitting.

 

I did the blackvue also, but the front camera is behind the rearview mirror and you can barely see it from inside the car.
Rear cam is the same as in the yellow one shown above.

 

I have the forward facing blackvue in my other car and can see the feed on my iPhone in the car, but is it possible to hook up the camera to the nav screen and use it as a backup camera?
