Dash Camera Installation - Winy Insight FX Dash Camera

The dash camera installation -

I would recommend a pro doing this install, even though I'm sure I was capable of doing this install I was glad I left it to our in house pro installer at our shop. It's a little more in depth than hardwiring a radar.

Winy Insight FX - Dash Camera

Unboxing.



Proper tools


Removing some panels to get some easy access to hardwire the dash cam.



Removing the trim pieces around the mirror


Testing for ignition - on/off




Wires/Fuses


Ground




Nice and tidy.


Tucking in the wires (not the best photos)






Installing the micro sd card



Mounting the front camera


Rear camera mounted



Final install photos - more to come

The full build is here please take a look.

That thing is huge! Remotes are where it's at. About 5x smaller and invisible from outside or inside the car.

What do you mean by remotes? I feel the same way with the size of dash cams, I want something really small and not bulky.

"Remote" meaning the camera is not attached to the screen. This is the smallest on the market currently, which also happens to have top rated video quality: http://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...2&postcount=19
