Thanks for the video. I did this on my wife’s Outback it was super easy. My new Crosstrek is getting the windows tinted this week and I plan to install one in it next weekend. Here’s the camera I’ve

You are either not getting power to those fuses when the car is off, or your car battery is old enough that the voltage drop is causing the dashcam to shutdown in order to protect your ability to star

Oh my. This is almost exactly what I am currently dealing with/ on the verge or remedying. For context, I bought a 2025 Crosstrek Sport on SEP2025 and I had a BlackVue DR970X 2CH Box Plus camera profe

Yop, I had this happen once. I was going through a neighborhood and stopped at the stop sign. I ended up getting pulled over and that was the cop's excuse as well. Well, I had a dashcam and this hap

This same exact thing just happened to me. I went to court and couldn't prove it. His word against mine and out 190 bucks. Dashcam is getting installed this weekend.

it’s compact so it sits neatly near the rearview mirror. super easy to use, reasonably priced, definitely good choice

Idk, none of those picks make much sense to me, I've never seen them recommended by anyone else in this sub or the dashcams sub. I went with a Viofo a229 pro after reading the review [in this thread](
