It does seem odd, by now you'd think dashcams would be standard on most cars. But if Volvo are leaving off the ticket clip from the windscreen to save money, I can't see them fitting dashcams!

Default Dashcam coming 2025 models

Just seen on this youtube clip (minute 10.27) that front/rear Dashcam will be an option on 2025 V60 model (and presumably all 2025 models) at 625 euros.

Wonder if be a retro fit option too ? but not at that price

This here fits right under your rear view mirror and plugs into your rear view mirror wiring. Looks like factory fitted

Volvo have released an official front/rear dashcam in Europe but it doesn't say which models it's available for. Presumably it'll become available in the UK also.

I bought the Front and Rear option for my 2020 S60, it arrived today, popped out and installed just the front camera for now, which took 5 mins and looks great almost as if an OEM install.

I have had a dashcam in mine and my partners car for the past few cars now and always used a kit to wire to the fuse box so this was perfect not having to run any cables at all for the front, just connecting direct to the rear mirror cable. Took it for a test drive, the video quality is excellent, connecting to the app was quick as well, so far so good. Need to have a think about the best way to run the cable for the rear camera and get it installed.

I have a 2023 XC90 B6 (with Google display) and installed a FitCamX Model HD2 B within 30 minutes. Have been using now for 3 months and absolutely no interference with Volvo systems even in minus 40 C temps. The website and youtube has installation videos that detail the installation very well and finished look is like it came from the factory. All wiring is directly enclosed behind mirror and camera turns on or off when car is turned on or off, even during remote start.
There is no GPS but I don't miss that at all.
Pics are good quality and are available if I need them.

Did you ever have any issues with files saving it corrupting? I’m tempted to get this but just worried about the reliability of it.
