i dont know the brand but they look sooooo neat and tidy, has anyone here actually used one, any good or garbage??

No, but I'd be very nervous about that interfering with the intellisafe "gubbins" and pulling cables out of there to piggy back on (that is what it looks like from the pictures) is probably going to void the warranty.

ditto on the concern about it interfering, i mean id assume they have tested it doesnt but id rather take the word of people who have actually used than the people selling it

I fitted one yesterday on my 2018 V90 Cross Country, the fitting was very easy once you have worked out where to press on the auto rain sensor power feed to disconnect it. Fitting the excess cable in the housing is a bit of a Jack in the box scenario.

As to how it works, so far I've just done one short drive and been parked up on the drive, the instructions on wifi set up are not very clear and although I've managed to connect to my phone I could not describe the process as simple- probably my lack of IT skills. Its blowing a heuly here today but when the weather improves I'll have a proper play. On the short drive the auto windscreen wipers still worked and all seems normal with intellisafe and bliss.

Will report back once I've got more familiar with the interface.

Quick update. Have to say I'm very impressed with this, a simple tidy installation, no interference with BLISS , active cruise or steering etc. Simple transfer of files to phone and clear images. Only question now is longevity.

I ordered this for ninety quid, delivery took three weeks.

Never been a fan of the aesthetics of dash cams but this is by far the most integrated solution I have seen and judging by the video, installation seems relatively easy too.

I have the same concerns as others have raised but if Fastpatsilents can provide a further positive update I might just consider one of these.

I must confess I had pretty much fitted and forgotten it until I saw the latest post on it this morning.

So a quick update, still happy with it, following today's post I went and had another play with it. The software is not that intuitive but is workable by a luddite like myself, I intend to change the free SD card that came with it for a higher capacity to get a longer recording time before it over rights, it takes a fair bit of time to download a recording over wifi, I may try moving the SD card to a PC and transferring directly when I switch cards over.

At the price point I can't fault it and happy to recommend.

I have a mextbase on my 2012 and paid for installation which was £60.

Mine all integrated perfectly.
