Dash cam approved option for new Volvo?

Pipps · Mar 4th, 2019, 16:39

I have fully read every dash cam post in this subforum.

There does not appear to be an agreed position on dash cams.

We take delivery of a new XC60 R-Design in 14 days.

What is the best approved front+rear dash cam?

Are Volvo actually advising the Roadhawk DC2?

Will a BlackVue not intefere with IntelliSafe?

Are dealers recommending anything?

What is the consensus please?

I recently had a chat with my dealer, and he said they would sell and fit a Roadhawk DC2.

Volvo have not approved any dash cam for the new vehicles so the dealers will not advise the fitting of them.
I have a Blackvue 750s 2ch in my XC60, it causes no problems at all.

Did you install it yourself?

Would love to see photos!

Nextbase 512 or whatever it is, fitted myself, next to the mirror, no issues at all.

Hard wired in to the ignition circuit? I took my nextbase off my VW when I traded it in and need to get it re-fitted onto my XC70.

This thread covers the installation of a dashcam in an XC60 or V60 without accessing the inaccessible fuse box.

Yeah I did, had to call them so they could send a smaller fuse breakout but all good. I need to check though that the feed is properly shutting down. I seem to gets loads of false alarms when the car is left alone. Also the annoying thing is the motion of opening the car sets of the park mode too, so you end up with loads of locked footage.

Is there any way to hard wire into the fuse box of a 2019 XC60?
