Hi,

Has anyone fitted a dashcam in a Sag ? If so, which model, where is it fitted and how noticeable is it from the outside of the car ?
Had a look at a few but it's really obvious they're fitted even when just glancing at the car.

Thanks
Paul

Hi Alex,
I've been looking at the mirror/clip on units, just so many to choose from so thought someone might've done it already and know what to avoid.

Will do some more research and experimenting with cams I've borrowed from friends.

Routing the cable doesn't look too difficult as it can be hidden behind the trim without too much trouble.

Cheers
Paul

AOK said:
1) Someone might break in to steal it.
2) It will incriminate you when you get pulled over for running a red light you "swear was green, officer".
3) It will incriminate you if your brakes lock up on a wet road and your car ploughs straight into the hatchback in front that braked sharply for no apparent reason.
Not really thought too much about the negative points. Never been stopped for 2 or 3 above and hopefully won't be involved in an accident but you never know.
Cams seems to be quite common these days and I know a few people where video from their cams helped determine/prove who was at fault.
Would have to be a cam which could be well hidden or easily removed but will give it more thought.
