Cameras/dashcam - silly question?

Probably daft, but I thought I'd read somewhere that the built in cameras could be used for dash cam purposes? Is that possible or nonsense? If possible, how? Mike - MPx

Ahh, OK thanks Stan. I'll spend a while working out how to route the wires for my old Nextbase then... Mike - MPx

BMW offer it now and I think it's on the new S class, it's surprising that more manufacturers haven't done it and sooner, as the technology has been there for years. It's so much neater, I sometimes think about a dash cam, but it would have to be a manufacturer approved/installed bit of kit and not noticeable from the drivers seat.

Clearly I don't include anyone on here in this....but does anyone else think that the dash cam brigade (I'm thinking those with the dash cam / I'm recording you stickers all over the car) are the worst drivers on the road? MY23 Panamera E-Hybrid

Oh gosh yes. I 'knew' this one guy on a forum who just kept on posting videos and got a whole YouTube channel going. Its weird why he comes across so many of them. It is like he just goes looking for them and create scenarios. And often in the videos there is nothing even wrong with them.

Yes I have dash cams as well, only check them every so often to ensure it is working correctly, but otherwise I don't look at them unless there is an incident that I'm involved in. Never had to use them yet.

You may be interested in the dashcam I fitted to my old L320. The cameras are tiny and can be hidden very discretely.

I need to get around to installing it into the L405 at some point as it's currently gathering dust in my shed! Kev

It's fairly simple - I did mine broadly like this - https://www.fullfatrr.com/forum/topic23389.html

That's a very neat solution. The chances of me fitting something like that are zero, just the pictures of the trim being removed had me in a sweat! MY23 Panamera E-Hybrid
