Awesome video, Miller. Clean install, and that unit looks pretty good, and probably fit just as good on the HR-V, since it uses lots of Civic parts, EXCEPT the power hookup, since the only 12volt outlet is in the right rear hatch area. I may have to get one of those dual or triple 12volt outlet accessories and hardwire it, maybe mount it under the dashboard, out of site, to the right of the center console. I think I still have one a friend gave my years ago, that I never used in my storage. Or might even be in one of my boxes or bags at here at home. I might have seen it during my house move in February. I know I saw it recently. I'm still going to have to look at this, the other one you made a video of, or the top of the line VanTrue, or even Alpine has a nice one.

The video didn't show it but I got the impression that, having stowed the excess wire down the A-pillar, you may have then routed it across the top of the pillar under the headlining to the mirror. My advice is to always route the wire down the door side of the A-pillar and then up again on the windshield side in order to avoid the curtain airbag, which on many cars has an anchor point half-way up the A-pillar. If you take the A-pillar trim off, you may find airbag behind the wire's route and its proximity may be reason enough for self-installers to also choose somewhere else to store any excess.

@@717PROJECT Okay, that makes sense and thanks for the video about what looks like a good choice, especially if it's available here in the UK where conspicuous dashcams are targeted by thieves. But as a general rule, people with curtain airbags need to think about where they route their wires. Personally, unless I can go straight down the middle of the headliner using a guide cable, I favour routing along the door sills but I understand the temptation to go above the doors. Even 'professional' installers who do this don't seem to give airbags a second thought.

This accessory is generally good but has a couple of drawbacks. The built-in battery life is short at best and replacing it is a bit tricky. Ambient light impacts the display quality.

Does the width of the mirror interfere with the sun visors?

@717PROJECT

Жыл бұрын

Nope!

Having installed 4 of these style dash cams within the past 6 months, I've got a few notes. 1. Mounting the back up camera on the inside is more convenient, but if you live in an area where it rains a lot, if you don't have rear wipers, it essentially renders the camera useless when raining. Also if you have dark tint, it will impede your visibility at night. Not 2 attributes I want when completely replacing a regular mirror. 2. I find it best to run the wire following the floor boards and not the headliner. Much easier install IMO. 3. Put a light tint on the backup lens if mounting outside. It's fine during the day, but can produce a lot of glare from headlights at night. I'm thinking 40-50% tint. And if you are mounting on the inside, put a polarized lens or film over it to get rid of reflections from the rear window.
