Hi peeps,

I want to install 70mai A500s or A800s (which one do you recommend?) for my premium proton X50.

But mainly my question is: would that revoke Proton warranty? SA told me if not cutting wires and without using the fuse box, it’s possible. However, Trapo mentioned they need to access the fuse box.

I’m confused as I see many people add dashcam but I’m not sure why it would affect the warranty.

Please advise on this. Would be helpful to hear from an X50 owner who went through this and then went for a service and how did they react.

Thanks in advance!

Check with the installer. Make sure they don't cut wire
Fusebox make sure they use a tapping device with independent fuse and not jamming a piece of wire into the fuse box

In other words, if can restore without trace, then ok

Then I won’t install the parking add on. Just front dashcam is enough I suppose.
Thanks!

Going to Trapo for this one. They have good reviews and since they won’t go to the fuse box, I will proceed.

Use fusebox if you want recording even your car is off.
Else just use normal usb or cigg lighter.
Some car have ready usb port at rear view mirror

Not having usb by rear view mirror could be a hassle

Quick update folks.
I installed dashcam today front and back (70mai A500s) at Trapo and the total cost was RM 539.
They used the lighter port and the wires were almost invisible.
