    I think the a119c was the one I had saved on my Amazon wish list, so ya that's the one I'll probably be pulling the trigger on

    I also bought the hardwire kit for it. Makes for a very clean install!

    Haha I can never repeat gif avatars! That was a good one though

    No I tapped into an ACC fuse, so it’d turn on and off with the car. If you wanted parking mode, then you’d have to wire it a little differently.

    My old spare tire compartment is surprisingly handy! It’s the perfect width to fit camping chairs, cots and my tent, and other stuff can be packed in the void.

    Hey, I have a DB Power Dash Cam I bought off of Amazon. I'f you 'd like I can upload two video's I shot to demonstrate the performance. One is in the morning and the other is at night. Drive to work, and then drive home. 1.5 hour trips condensed down to 13 minutes each.

    This is what I bought.

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HPEF7PQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    It's unavailable now but cost $60 bucks. Maybe there is an upgrade. Once I dialed in the EV for night time vids the thing was phenomenal.

    Randy, I used my new foam cannon this past weekend. The spray pattern is so dang wide. How to adjust?

    Should just be able to turn the black nozzle on the end. I believe CW closes it and CCW opens it.

    That looks pretty darn clear! I think dash cams are a must these days.
    What rob said. Just have to turn the black nozzle. On mine I have to hold it in place.

    Well, I paid a little more but it is 2k and it is a true 150 degrees with less distortion than some. Also, mine runs with a battery but I had it hooked up via a usb cable so no special wiring involved. The battery is there so you can set it to parking mode, which I never used. It also had some other special features to preserve recordings in the event of a collision and with the push of a button.

    This pic is it mounted in front of the rear view mirror on my 4R. It was so hidden I never removed it.

    I need to do some dash cam research. Do you guys just have front facing? Or do you have rears as well?

    As soon as they are uploaded and processed I will provide links to two videos that show how that DB Power Dash Cam looks when you have the settings dialed in.
