Installed a Crash Camera

I install a DOD GSE550, wired it into the top console, has built in GPS, 120deg angle, records speed & is HD 1080 & voice. Comes on when I start the car, I record in 10 min intervals, has a 16gig mini SD but will take a 32gig.

Its tucked away behind the rearview mirror so don't see it or catch your eye while your driving.

I'm also interested in picking one up for my X5. While I like yours I'm hoping to find one a bit more discrete looking as to not attract theft. Are there any other models you looked at? And what do you mean by 'wired into the top console'? Doesn't it use a lighter plug in to charge?

Yes, I do alot of city driving, and there is always someone changing lanes without warning or running red lights, just to mention few things that happen everyday.
