Factory Dash Cam

[RedWinterZ]

My car came with the factory dash cam and it's big and the app is hard to get sorted. I persevered and it works fine for me. Would be very hard to recommend however.

If the app wasn't abhorrent it would be a lot more tolerable for what it is (though even without the app, what it 'is' 'isn't' great.) I'd never pay out of pocket for it even if the app worked well though. image quality just isn't there compared to the higher resolution ones on the market at the same price point.

Agreed, for $360 it would pay for a vey nice aftermarket unit and then some more.

The silver lining for anyone that has it already installed at this point is that if/when you decide to buy a decent one, all you need is the adapter plug and it should be a fairly easy install/upgrade at that point.

This is what I plan to do, just have to figure out the wiring part.

How did you manage to get it to function?
In my case the app will not stay connected. Once it connects it will say not connected after a few seconds however iphone thinks it is still connected but the app is not.

Oh my sweet summer child. Enter App hell. There are different ways to connect with the camera, cloud vs recorder. I settled for recorder direct. The steps to get there would befuddled the greatest alchemists. Technically I followed the directions I found online. Ill try and pull them back up and post here. It was hell but now I can pair and view recordings reliably. Not sure if it stays paired but that doesn't matter. It saves and deletes video automatically.

That is the way I have been trying to connect. Directly phone to camera. I get connected in then when I try to do anything, the app tells me I am not connected.

I meant the actual dashcam. Or you quoted the wrong message.

My bad......I thought you were looking for a pic of the adapter. I believe this is it.

I was in Best Buy today and found a Thinkware F70 Pro for a great price on sale. It's small enough that it should tuck in and be less visible to occupants. The wiring is the standard long cable and cigarette plug.

My preference is to wire it to the rear view mirror, but I can't get a clear view or photo to see what there is for plug ins there.

Anyone have a photo available of the cable ends to connect to the the RVM? I'm not sure if I would modify the existing cable or just start fresh and wire one. Any assistance is appreciated.
