anyone installed dashcam on their car already? Any recommendation?

Its my first time driving SUV, compared to sedan, this HRV set up in terms of its handling is pretty good as for SUV, i noticed the sound proofing is also good, hardly can hear engine noise.

RS?

If you want smoother connection, connect via WiFi. Lesser lag.

I got the car with the DVR installed from Honda accessories. So far DVR quality is ok, I wouldnt say outstanding but its acceptable.

At least looks clean I suppose.

But the price like kinda high. So quite reluctant to get that

Im planning to get mine installed tomorrow at sicurez. Bought ddpai x2s pro on shopee since I had rm600 voucher not used for so many month..

Saw got a lot of good comment on their workmanship, their google review looks promising.

may i ask how is their wiring / workmanship? is it hidden or just run along the side. wire connected to 12v or go into internal?

I too installed my wife’s car dashcam with Sicurez. Quite good, but make sure you are there watching their work - my wife’s car was the first new HR-V to be installed there, but according to them it was quite similar to the old one.

Also, if you plan to install the anti-static film/plastic, do inform them earlier as they don’t install it and don’t recommend to install them - I installed it anyway since it makes it easier to take the dashcam off when required

If wire connected to 12V fuse box, high chances warranty void on electronics stuff. Want to retain 5 years warranty, only option is plugging thru USB/12V socket plug. I’ve ask Honda SC and that’s what they answered.

Which model did you go for?

Viofo A129 Pro Duo. But didn’t do hardwire and used my Ciggy port.

Oh good to hear that. Any particular reason why those static film is not recommended? Afraid break in and thief stole the dvr i guess?

Yea, thats the price to pay if dont wanna risk for warranty void Anyway i got the DVR for free as SA agreed to sponsor as part of the car discount.

Its hidden and wire is connected to internal. Since its Honda's official accessories, won't affect warranty.

Next thing i hope Honda would offer 360 camera and power boot as part of their official accessories line up. Im sure the sale of this 2 accessories will do quite well.

Thats weird, SC and SA that I came from mentioned that if its pnp and it doesn't involve wire tapping / cutting of the existiing wires there shouldn't be any issue in the warranty.

On the warranty booklet its too general and doesn't cover much, 'any alteration or modification will void warranty of the related component' something like this. Haha

They say it’s because a number of cars that they installed with the static film came back and the dash cam has dropped - they claim that the static film is not as firm as sticking it directly on the windshield / tint. I call bull la, I installed it on my FE for 7 months now, never dropped - and I parked under the hot sun every work day. They just malas since they have to align the static film properly before sticking the dashcam on it.

Most likely it would be on the facelift model, or the next gen HR-V.

Depends on SC actually, but you never know that if you claim warranty for anything electrical and they deny it based on the hardwire. Safest method is, if you hardwire your dashcam, be prepared to remove it if you want to claim warranty for anything electrical related.

Especially those dashcam with parking mode feature requires hardwire tapping normally at fuse box to obtain 12V, ACC and GND. I did ask Honda SC if I can tap from the fuse with a separate cable with additional fuse. He said NO. 😞

Nice, but I assume there will be some cable exposed from the ciggy port since one side is fully closed
