Thanks for the links, the Blackvue install with pics was very useful and I think its what Im going to go with. There was a link on there to blackboxmycar.com and they have the 2CH plus power magic for 329 so now I know where to get it from too lol.

Chris what size sd card would you recommend? I drive 100 miles everyday and wouldnt want it to overwrite something important.

64gb cards are cheap and offer enough storage for about 8-10 hrs or so of footage.

^agreed though make sure to do research on whichever dashcam you get and card compatibility, As the first card i bought worked for 1 day and then wouldn't work correctly ever again with the camera. Though i think having a 2ch at 1080p requires a really fast card.

Blackboxmycar often has very misleading prices on the main page that magically jump when you go to the actual link/item.

Search around; when I bought mine Amazon was the best price for the bundle, but that was also before they started collecting sales tax.

I went ahead and ordered through them, ended up being 329 bucks USD, with the Powermagic Pro, 16gb card (which I will upgrade to either 64 or 128), and 2 day shipping.

I noticed the price jumped in the cart but that was because the price on the main page was showing in USD and the price in the cart was in CAD. In the end my discover card was charged the advertised price.

Hi Chris. Do you have any pics of the two units mounted in your car? Does the rear camera get it's power from the micro USB cable that connects to the F750? Thanks

Yes the power is provided via the USB, so it's only one cable to the rear camera

here are shot of it installed from inside and outside, the ones from the outside with where the sun was at made the camera way more noticeable, then it typically is. Also from the inside it's position center on the camera lens and the way it's mounted it isn't visible from the drivers seat/view

 

[chrisgonzales]

here's a vid, of it installed as i pan from the front to the rear is the path of where the cable was tucked

I just got a Mini 0806 Dash Cam with Invisicord mirror tap. Pretty cheap and works really well. Its small and descrete and video quality is above average day and night. Camera was about $85 and Mirror tap kit about $25.
