Ford warranty/Dashcam?

[TheStig2016]

Hi all,


Bought a 16 plate Fiesta back in April, only had the car a month when someone pulled out into me on a roundabout, the damage was very very minor (luckily!) with the rear wheel taking the brunt of the hit, all been sorted through their insurance.


However, it's now got me thinking of purchasing a dashcam, especially ones with parking modes, incase anyone hits my car and drives off!

Halfords would hardwire one for £30 professionally, however would this affect my warranty? I'd need it hardwired to be able to use the parking mode, and it would also avoid cables etc.

Any advice on this would be appreciated, also are Halfords recommended?


Thanks.

IF it's anything like the usual installation, "professionally fitted" is a piggy-back fuse in either a switched or constant live in your fusebox (according to choice) and the cables neatly stowed out of sight.

Won't affect your warranty as they're not cutting anything, and you could always remove it if you do have issues to avoid awkward excuses...

I wouldn't necessarily classify an installation of anything by halfords as professional. It might be worth looking for a local car audio place that can do the install for you. I wouldn't be surprised if Ford won't install some sort of dashcam for you, all be it at an inflated price.
