Yes, someone on eBay was selling car specific mirror housings.
I don't know if I dreamt this, but was there a dash cam that was integrated into the electrics of the rain sensor. Like the camera and SD card slot was under the rain sensor.
Does that exist? My fiesta has a bulky rear mirror connection attached with a plastic shroud.
I've seen a dashcam that's been fitted to an E85 Z4 using the rain sensor +12V DC wiring located in the plastic surround of the rear view mirror. The USB power supply uses the +12V DC (or maybe +5V, can't remember!) and then a short amount of cable protrudes from the surround and plugs into the camera which is mounted using a 3M sticky pad in front of the mirror.
Well, the Garmin has gone back as it started randomly shutting off and eventually wouldn't turn off at all and displayed the Garmin splash screen permanently. Disappointing as when it was working it was perfect. So now waiting for the Thinkware F770 (front only) to come and see how that goes. .
I'm thinking of picking up a dashcam, had a couple of close calls recently and also seen a fair few "strange things".
I am swaying towards an anker roav, just a shame it doesnt have GPS. Anyone tried one?
Bought my partner the Nextbase 412GW as she's fancied a dash cam for a while. I'm intending to hardwire it in to her Mito, tapping into the fuse box. Stuck it in the car using the cigarette lighter adapter to test it out first. The video quality seems very good. But when on the move, there is a lot of camera shake. Real shame as I was hoping it'd capture some nice scenic shots from a road trip we're planning to go on.
Anyone experienced this and come up with a solution? Is the suction mount the issue and can anyone suggest an alternative?
My DashCam 55 is proving to be a tad unreliable as well; have had several occasions where it's just locked up and required a power cycle to get it back to life. It's a shame as it's a great little unit when it's working, but these issues seem far too prevalent.
I stumped up for the parking mode cable as well, so loathed to send it back too soon.
Hey there
Contact Nextbase support via their website chat thingy & they will send you a nice little self adhesive mount for free.
Hope this helps.
Cheers all
Well F770 firmware updated, latest speed camera data installed and hard-wired and fitted. Happy with the footprint on the screen as well.

FYI, Nextbase are sending me out a sticky mount after I emailed and sent them some sample footage. Hopefully this should solve the whole camera shake issue.
Thank you roman59 for the tip off!
