Default XC60 Dashcam

Hi

has anyone got a dashcam installed on an XC60

I;m thinking of it, but there is a lot of kit under the rear view mirror and I want to make sure it doesn't look rubbish or interfere with any kit there.

I would get it professionally installed, but wanted input from you guys first.

Photos welcome.

Invest in a Thinkware F800 pro,dual camera.
Looks very neat when installed and has some excellent features.
Was impressed when I installed mine, the resolution is great, reading number plate quality.
Also has parking mode when hard wired and can alert you if you have been bumped while your away.
You can also WiFi footage direct to your phone.

Thanks Steve but I was looking for where the dashcam is located and fitted rather than a dashcam recommendation.

Could you post a picture of yours?

If interested I;m thinking of a Blackvue DR900 2 Ch primarily due to cloud update function.

I have a Next Base 402G camera fitted behind the mirror, very discreet from the driving seat -- Good clear camera as well

Sorry about the reflection, not the best pics but you can get the idea what it looks like.
The camera also talks and tells you where the fixed speed camera's are and also hand held speed camera zones, already saved me twice😀
There are other warnings like collision and lane departure warning, they become annoying so I switched them off.
