Dash Camera Preference

[Rocket36]

I have thought about the airbags in a lot of cars when wiring cameras over the years... I have had no problem with the fact that the airbags will destroy the flimsy little cables. I don't pull things apart far enough to route under airbags, and I certainly wouldn't be touching airbags regardless!

You can easily remove the pillar trim with a bit of finesse, the highest clip being the most annoying as it's a double locking clip, or "christmas tree" clip as it's called.

Once you've removed the trim/cover you can easily route the cables behind the airbag.

You dont even have to do that If you run it along the edge of the dash beside the A pillar and up between the screen and the A pillar the airbag wont get it as it will be infront of it where the wiring goes.

^ that works too, however if you're running a rear camera as well then routing down, back then back up will make it a not so fun task

I fitted my mini 0906 'pair' at the weekend - as stated, the A-pillar trim is awkward (had to re-shape the top clip and it is still not sitting perfectly!). Ran the wiring to the rear camera under the passenger side scuff trim and through to the tailgate grommet - happy with the end result (apart from the slightly dislodged A-pillar trim).

Not so happy with the camera running for twenty minutes and then power-cycling and corrupting the data. Will try a re-flash (firmware update) and see how we go. Image quality looked good!

The 0906 looks nice but is notoriously unreliable.

I have an A129 and it's been fairly rock solid. Although where I have installed mine would not be everyone's cup of tea.

Here's hoping - I found it didn't like one memory card, but much improved with another....

I have had about half a dozen different ones over the years (use for Rally car cam) but thought I would try the 'mini-0..' version even though these have some historical problems.
