Dashcam install shop in LA
Greeting,
I'm newbie here and wanted to say hi to all of y'all. I will pick up F-Type R IRR this week. So exciting! Will post some pics here asap
I was wondering what shop did you guys use for installing dashcam in LA area. I already bought thinkware dashcam. Can you please share your experiences/price?
thanks!

OP - at least you are wanting a dash cam in the first place. Still hard to believe many people don't have them.
If you feel uncomfortable doing the install just get a 12v to 5v long lead with a usb mini end and have any stereo shop stub it out to the right/behind your rear view mirror then buy a good camera online. Go to Techmoan's youtube channel to study up a bit.
I have the DDpai and love it. People also like the Blackbox(?) a lot. 1440p cams, gps, wifi to mobile, audio, all of that for about $110-$200.
Getting a cord in place is the first step - https://www.ebay.com/itm/Pruveeo-Har...4AAOSwcndZrxFn
There is also a way to tap into the mirror base and convert to 5v, but I never figure that out.
Garmin also makes a decent dashcam/gps unit now that a lot of stereo shops are pushing, however there isn't an ideal place to mount it on the F-Type's narrow view area.
