Possibly the coolest and easiest dash cam install ever

[jw38]

Anybody have an answer to the guys that have asked if you need to have the digital mirror (for power) or will it work with either option??

I'd also like an answer to this question.

Pulled the trigger on front 4k & rear 1080p. This is the perfect setup to record my daughter and I doing dumb sh@t together. Front cam sweet for showing others what we did and rear cam for showing her reaction. Hopefully, I'll be able to watch them both simultaneously in the app or desktop - that'd be legit!

Great idea! That will be an awesome way to view your videos together!

Sorry if i missed this if this has already been asked but if I dont have digital mirror is there still power to connect to? I would imagine so

I believe it will still work because there is still power going to the mirror for auto dimming, but easiest way to check would be to pull that cover off and verify that plug is there.

If you get the rear camera i assume wires would have to be run from the rear camera to the front unit? Or would it be from rear unit to any source of power?

Yes, there is an additional wire that would connect to the front unit and run to the rear of the truck.

Kinda wish it was motion activated. Would be great for being parked, and catching people messing with or bumping your truck

It can be hardwired to the truck to record when an impact happens. Nothing motion activated, though. For the hardwire option you have to email them. It's on the site, though.

Dang, I already have a Blackvue DR900X-2CH that I'm waiting to install after my tint is fully cured. I love Blackvue dashcams, but the super clean install from FitCamX is making it really tempting to switch. Only advantage that I see using the Blackvue would be:

• External Battery for parking mode without draining the car's battery
• Higher SD Capacity at 256 GB

I really like that fact that the FitCamX doesn't require mounting directly to the windshield.

I literally have the same camera sitting in a box waiting to go on the truck as well and I will now likely use it in my Corvette instead. I do like the battery backup option that the Blackvue offers, but I can't overlook the ease of install and the appearance of this unit.

Anyone know how to get the "Fuse box cable" (#4 in the diagram above)? It's not listed on their website anywhere that I can find.

The site says you have to email them.

Been using this in my truck for months and it’s fantastic! So impressed I bought one for my girlfriends SUV. Looks OEM! Much better than the prior one o had. Thx for sharing!

Agreed! I wish they made it for more cars!

Just ordered directly from the website. Used the 10% off code. Awesome find! This is why I love the forum!

100% agree! When I found this I figured you guys would love it as much as I did.

I was just looking at the RAM TRX website, I can only see two colors being offered (red and white) for the 2023 model year. Is it just me or is this actually true?

Why are you posting this in a dash cam review section?
All they have left is red and white paint. 🤣

I gotta echo this. I'm surprised that I hadn't run across this yet. It's exactly what I was looking for. It's added to the list of stuff I'm gonna order once I go D1. My $100k truck is gonna cost me $110k.

I thought the same thing. I had just bought a Blackvue dash cam for the truck when I saw this by accident and thought "wait a second, that's awesome!" so I had to try it first lol

You would think they could figure out a way to spilt the camera feed already going to our mirror and record that as the rear view camera. The video is already right there.

That would be awesome.
