Dash Cam Passat
Discussion
With the winter nights/mornings upon us and all sorts of potential issues ive dodged driving up to the NorthWest from South coast I've decided to think getting a dashcam.
Has anybody bought a dashcam for the Passat B8 that goes in front of the mirror discreetly?
I didn't realise but they can power off of the Rain sensor which is handy.
FitCamX seems to tout the most professional option with a website. They do Front and Back for 150 quid, the rear doesn't have instructions though so wondering

Wondering if anyone has cheaper options for Front and Back or if I bite the bullet.

There are posts in the car electronics forum with recommendations might be worth looking them up.
I have a VIOFO A129 which regularly gets reviewed as one of the best. Ic can be mounted directly to the windscreen with a small footprint and in my cars BMW 3 series and Fiesta it's mostly hidden by the black dotted area of the screen from outside and completely hidden by the rear view mirror from the drivers seat. They do a duo which has a rear camera and also a GPS base.

Thanks, I've just found a Nextbase 322 for 35 quid used on eBay so will use this and work on getting the wiring discreet enough.
It's a shame the integrated one doesn't do the GPS functions others do.
Going to see what its like first and if I can get the A Pillar off, and If its a paint see if there are any options to power from the rain sensor.

They look very similar to the Oewitness ones: www.oewitness.com
Nationwide installation is available.
Thinking of one for my Smart EQ

They do sit nice and tidy but lack the GPS data. Nationwide installation is available.

I would worry my insurer wouldn't sniff at the dashcam as it would be recording speeds.
