3rd Party Dash Cams

[StealthGX-TX]

Anyone integrated a 3rd party dash cam to the GX 550 yet - any recommendations? Looking at Viofo.

Did you ever end up finding a good dash cam? I’m in the market for one. I had a BlackVue “4k” in my previous vehicle. It was expensive and wasn’t nearly 4k in resolution.

Went with the VIOFO A229 Pro 4K HDR Dash Cam, Dual STARVIS 2 IMX678 IMX675, 4K+2K Front and Rear Car Camera

Thanks! How do you like it? Do you have it hard wired?

Seems fine. I haven't done much with it. I was planning on downloading some video today. And yes, hardwired. The installer was impressed with the quality.

Appreciate the feedback. Found it on Amazon for $200. I think I'll go with it.

They have a bundle that has the hardwire kit, fuse accessories, and microSD card. That's what I got.

Wow! I ordered the bundle I believe you were referencing a few minutes after your post and it was just dropped off at my front door. Amazon is scary and impressive at the same time.

Yeah that was a same day for me too!

Thanks again for the rec. Had it installed this morning and, like you, the installer was impressed by the quality. I played with the functions a bit and I can already tell it’s way better than the BlackVue I had that I paid a lot more for.

Let me know if you have parking mode configured. I have been messing with mine more and am not convinced it goes into a separate mode when I turn off the vehicle.

I do. I went back to my vehicle an hour after I got home and was able to download clips from when I was parked.

Does anyone of you who've hardwired have a diagram or know how it was hardwired?
I'm trying to connect a dash cam to the fuse box under the glove box on the passenger side but wasn't sure about the right fuse to use.

Hi, for the GX550 OT+, does anyone know how many pins are in the rear view mirror 'box'? I see a few power supply adapters and the Fitcam that get power from a pinout in that area, but don't know if the OT has 10 or 12 or 16 pins? I can remove it to check, but if someone knows, thanks for the info.
