Ended up going with the Blackvue DR900X-2CH on ilkka's recommendation. Was easy to fit the cable to the back of the car with a bit of persuasion through the boot grommet.

Thanks for the heads up all :)

Fitted a Shishuo dashcam hardwire kit for my front camera. Couldn't get it to work to begin with, think the supplied 5a fuse was dodgy or I damaged it. Noticed one of the 5a fuses on the fuse box diagram was marked as spare so swapped it for that then attached the adapter to one of the power sockets 20a fuse, removed the side panel on the dash and then run up passenger door seal. Not difficult at all once I swapped the fuse.

hi folks

whilst im wating on my mh accenta premium comming from the lease co I have been reading some of the posts already down loading the drivers app thats a great help :)

i had a dash cam hard wired into my seat arona by halfords , so thought i had nothing better to do than get them to fit it again when the new car arrives , but it seems they wont fit one to hybrid cars including mild hybrid , has any one had a dealer fit one and what sort of costs did you pay for it , im not clever ennough to do it my self thanks :)

First I've heard of a mild hybrid causing a problem - albeit I wired my present hybrid car's one into the fusebox myself - it was easy enough.

Nextbase have a fitting deal if you buy from them - and I've found my present 512GW excellent - so for my next car I'll be getting them to install, and having a rear camera as well as a front facing one.

Whatever you choose, go for a high-res one. My first cheapo dashcam was low res and pretty hopeless. Even the 512GW with full HD res is not brilliant for numberplates owing to the wide field of view making everything look smaller - so I'll be upgrading to at least the 522GW at 1440p HD with the next car or even the 622GW at 4k

yeah i couldnt understand why halfords are saying no , i even called them to check this is whats comes up when you pick the nextbase 522gw front and rear Expertly fitted at a time that suits you. Fitting can take up to 2 hours, currently unavailable for hybrid/electric vehicles.


edit --- thanks had a look at the nextbase site might just go to them for the 522 front and rear plus fitting isnt too shabby a price and within what i had in mind , just need the registration and delivery date of the car .. can you tell im excited lol

"currently unavailable for hybrid/electric vehicles"? maybe they aren't trained up yet for these types of vehicles? had my dashcam, a nextbase supplied and hardwired in by Halfords, when I changed cars just took dashcam of window, Halfords said leave wiring in old car, l just took dashcam off and Halfords refitted it to Qashqai, they supplied the new cable as part of the fitting

Hey Ilkka. Any recommendation on where to buy locally (Finland)?

Currently it's powered through the 12V socket, but once it gets a bit warmer outside (Finland and cold winters) I'll hardwire it so I can use the parking mode. No real problems with install.

Here are photos viewtopic.php?p=91249#p91249 of my install

I got mine from proshop (https://www.proshop.fi/Videokamerat/Bla ... GB/2995026) and dustin is a good shop to order as well (https://www.dustinhome.fi/product/50112 ... hd-dashcam) Power (https://www.power.fi/puhelimet-ja-kamer ... p-1206674/) seems to have it in stock in few of their stores.
