I'm not sure I would have mounted the Mini 0806 driver's side but each to their own, either way looking at the screen it appears to give a good angle.
How have you found the Mini 0806? They were removed from CarCameraShop due to reliability issues and many people have commended online that they have only lasted 12 months or so?
Has anyone hardwired theirs to an E89? Either with a power magic pro or other means and if so have you got any drive low voltage warnings?
Currently waiting for Blackvue to announce an update on the DR600 range before I decide. The shape of the Blackvue to me is its biggest selling point being cylindrical, black and no lcd screen.
Nice to see other examples though.

I had the Mini 0806 in my M135i for over 12 months and just taken it out as traded the car in. Its likely it will be thrown in the bin when I take delivery of the new car and will look at an alternative cam. I've found the Mini to be unreliable, the mounting bracket is poor with an iffy connection. I've found the unit to run extremely hot so much so you can't hold it in your hand at times. Mine has frozen on occasions and I've been unable to power it off so had to disconnect it from its mount and wait for the battery to run down before I can use it again. Reading some reviews its a common problen. I like the size of the cam but thats about it.

I'm sure you could fit them in the trim. The issue I see is overheating & getting access to the SD cards if I want to.
I have actually ordered a Mobius though.

This is the exact setup I am looking at. How have you found the blackvue? Did you use the Power Magic Pro? Do you ever get any low voltage warnings?DLH wrote:Had my Blackvue DR650GW-1CH put just to the passenger side of my rear view mirror with the hard-wire kit for use when parkred:

It is connected using the Power Magic Pro set at 11.8v and,as yet, no low voltage warnings. The only issues with warnings have been related to motion in the parking mode where I had the sensitivity set too high.Raesy wrote:This is the exact setup I am looking at.

I have nothing to compare the blackvue to, as it's my first dash am, but I do like it and it works well over WiFi using Blackvue Cloud services so I'm pleased with it.

Anyone know if this is any good?
Particularly interested in the OBD hardwire kit - thought it may stop hours of fun taking courtesy light apart/searching for the correct power outlet (and blowing fuses)
Thoughts and comments appreciated

This is another re-brand of the E-PRANCE Mini range. Unreliable sadly, as mentioned above...obewan wrote:Anyone know if this is any good?

It took a total of 2 hours to fit the DR650GW + Power Magic Pro + hardwiring an Aguri Skyway unit fitted on the dash. The Auto-Electrical shop that did it seemed to think that it was straightforward enough.Raesy wrote:Thanks DLH, just the answer I was looking for.
