I don't want to use the OBD port because I want the cameras running when the car's in for service. Also the BlackVue OBD option doesn't have great reviews on Amazon.
that is a dodgy area filming people and recording their voice without their permission on private property ... A different case if you are in a public area ... I would pull the power lead out if i was confronted with that .

Yes, usually the dealer will (rightly) pull the power to the DashCam if it's not been done already

Hope these are the areas to ‘avoid’ as most dash-cams (mine included) are not within these zones, being at the very top of the screen on passenger side of mirror housing.
Thx for posting.

Well, they may or they may not. I was interested because I saw some dash cam footage where a guy put his vehicle (not a Volvo) in for service and they basically used it to go to a motor factor's to get some spare parts, bouncing it up kerbs, running a red light and driving at 50 in a 30 limit among other things.

What they get up to on their premises is up to them (although I still think I'd be entitled to see what was going on with my car). And of course, if they're doing nothing wrong, they've nothing to hide, surely? Incidentally, I disabled voice recording after hearing myself "singing" along to the radio. I thought someone was skinning a cat at first...

It is not about having anything to hide , they are normal people with families like you and I . Would you like your normal everyday business being secretly recorded as you went about your honest day's work? You have to look at it that way .. people can talk about all sorts or personal and maybe confidential business things whilst in earshot ...

Default Hardwiring a dash cam into V60 D4

Hi all. I am a newbie to this forum but would very much like some advice please. I am looking to buy a dash cam in the next few days (probably nextbase 222 from Halfords) but really want to hardwire it into the car. I can run the wire round the head lining and A post etc but was then wanting to either fit it into the fuse box or the OBD. Which is the easiest or best way or solving this minor issue. I do look forward to hearing from you all.

Ive got a ThinkWare cam front and rear and they do an OBD power option, just plugs inline into that, no wiring needed. Not sure if NextBase do it but its got to be easier than trying to get into the damn fusebox under the carpet, plus you're not messing with any of the cars electrics.

When my V90 went into a (major) bodyshop for repair, they specifically asked whether I had a dashcam and to remove it completely, not just disconnect.

It's private property and they aren't giving consent to filming.

Have you seen post 6 in this thread? I think it is the best way, unless you need permament 12v.
