Dash cam

[rayz4]

Just had a Garmin mini 2 fitted at a Halfords branch near to me. Took them about 45mins while I enjoyed a coffee sat in a window seat of a costa right next door and watched the whole install. A very discreet installation and very pleased all round.

Useful bit of kit. Worth having. Service at Halfords can be variable but you look to have been lucky with the fitter.

Can we have photos of finished install?

Also how much did it cost? Does it have parking mode?

[rayz4]

I’ll take some pics tomorrow, Garmin mini 2 £89.00 install £35.00, and I’ll tell you it was worth every penny. Although I could fit the cam myself, watching the two young lads who done the install, rather them than me.

I always worry about how much trim they need to take off and battery drain?

I’ve got the BMW supplied and fitted kit in the Z4 and 335,. Both very neat and tidy installations and the units switch off when battery drain becomes critical,
The downside is that they aren’t cheap.
The upside is no warranty problems

Fitted quite a few dash cams and whilst some can be a pain, no way would I pay £35 for Halfords to do it.

Also, where did they connect the power to?

Fancy fitting mine?

Sure, if you fancy the drive.

Always fancy a drive. Just depends how long a drive.

Central Scotland. Has to be worth the petrol surely?

Might pay the £35 mobile fitting cost.

Don't mate, it really is a doddle. A few quid for some trim tools and if you don't want to hardwire it use something like this into the OBD 11 port.

rayz4, did the £35 include the cost of the hardwire fitting kit, or did you have to pay that separately?
