Do you guys have dash cam in your cars? Worthy?
How many guys here are having dash cams in your cars? Do we really need it especially at greater LA area?
Because my friend surprised I don't have one in my car, and he told me he recently got an accident because an asshole didn't stop at stop sign, but that asshole called the police told them my friend didn't stop. Plus, because no one was around there at the time, so they were telling the police two different stories, ended up my friend hired an attorney to fight this case and my friend won, but he paid more money than he actually got claimed. And he got the dash camera now and told me if he got the dash camera back then, he can sue that asshole to die. And spend around $100 for a dash cam to protect self is always worthy. But I never thought about this kind of things would be happen, so wondering how many people actually are using dash cam here. Is it really worthy? Thanks

I got one for my car and my wife's car for that exact reason. Too many dbag liars out there. Why risk it. I would recommend a 2 channel camera so you can record from and back. If you are gonna get a dashcam, no point going halfway with a 1 channel imo.
I got the wife one too mainly because she is the one with the kids usually. If she got in an accident with the kids in the car, making sure the kids are ok is going to be stressful enough. Having the dash cam provides her one less thing for her to stress about in that situation. |

I can see the logic behind in having one but never bother to mount one, hate having wires sticking out or laying around. Yea, you will say run the wire underneath the pillars and roof, but wires will still be shown. It probably gives more reason for some shit bag to smash your window and rip it off. I'll take my chances, 20 years of driving and havent had any douche run into me

I have an A118 in every car, wired along the headliner and A-pillar with some black mounting tape you can hide it fairly well. The VW's I hardwired with add-a-fuse, but the F30 has a socket under the passenger side dash.
Have not had to 'use' any dashcam footage (yet). |

Having the camera gives the page of mind that is worth the few hundred bux. One incident and it will have paid for itself many times over. Last edited by E30toF30; 02-27-2016 at 04:40 PM.. |

Thanks, guys, I already got one, called DDPai, I know some people are recommended Blackvue, and I found a local place they are still Blackvue and this DDPai, after I compared, I feel DDPai is little better overall to me. Half price of Blackvue, but it has warranty, office at greater LA area. They even done the installation for me. Even though Blackvue has better reputation, but once got some issue, at least I have call or email them to ask exchange or whatever, but this one, DDPai, I might just straight up to the office.
