FitCamX RAV4 Dashcam Installation & Review

In this video we install & review the FitCamX RAV4 dashcam.
This dashcam looks like it is built in from the factory, and doesn't result in any messy wiring after installation, as it connects to the power available inside the rearview mirror.
Overall, we are really happy with this dashcam, and would highly recommend it!

    I appreciate you showing the parts that you had to redo/adjust like the twist tie and the lens cover. I probably would have made those mistakes too so you saved me some time.

    any updates or noticeable glitches since your install? i have a 2023 rav4 prime xse and i'm considering this and the OEM version which costs about $125 more. this is more slightly integrated than the OEM which would be installed to the side rather than centered.

    Not really. Since the install it has just been constantly recording with nothing needed from me. I like that I don't have to think about it, plug it in, or see it in any way. Its just seamless. Only thing I will note is while there is an app, I find myself just pulling the SD card and connecting directly to my PC when I need to grab footage (which is almost never). Overall very happy with it!

    yea! Almost all of our youtube videos are places we drive to from the Bay Area (excluding our content from Colorado & Utah). Check out our other videos for some inspiration, but in general the best spots are the National Forests. Tahoe NF, Mendocino NF, Stanislaus NF, El Dorado NF, etc. So much to explore, but generally you do have to drive about 3hrs from the Bay.

    The dashcam is holding up great. To download videos I just pull the SD card and download to my computer, I don't need the footage often. It can read license plates well during the day, ok at night, 6/10.

If I have the app downloaded....lets say Im driving after 1 week with the camera and I want to check recent footage, would I need to go the sd card for that or would the app have that footage even if the phone was off for example?

    While the look is clean I have 3 issues with this. 1) The lens is not adjustable. There should be some ability to as I believe there is too much of the hood being show on the MDX version 2) No sound to identify that the unit has powered on. I believe some of the earlier models had issues just dying after a month of use which was resolved. If this stops working you might not notice that small dim LED which shows if it is on. Even then you have no idea if it is working 3) With no voice you won't know if there is an issues with the microSD card With these issues IMO I would say to get a Viofo over this. Yes it might not look as hidden but I prefer functionality and knowing my device works or has some sort of issues instead of coming into a situation of an accident and then not having the video which I would need.
