Goodies for my car

mic325 · 04-04-2013, 04:07 AM

Just bought a few useful goodies for my car, it is not performance nor cosmetic mods though.

A Muji organizer for the storage under the armrest.
A HD Car Camera
LED sets for the interior (http://www.xbimmers.com/forums/showp...55&postcount=6)

The last picture, just happened to park besides another Vermillion Red X6, so I took the pic.

Hi mic325

Can you give me some additional information about your new car cam?
I'm interested in:
- Did you had to connect the cam with the car? Or is it just plug and play only with energy?
- Where did you bought the cam?
- What is the brand and type of the cam?
- How is the quality of the videos by day and night?

Thanks and best regards
Simon

Yeah... I'm interested in the cam.. South Texas is full of $&/!€¥% drivers... More info please...
Is it possible to ask for video to check it out?

Thanks!

The camera is Blackvue DR500GW. It can record in Full HD. I will upload some videos when I am home. I bought it online for around $274 USD. I had done lots of research before buying this model, I think it is by far the best you can get for now.

The garage helped me to hardwired it to the car, so it will turn on automatically when you start the car. However, it comes with the cigarette lighter adapter, if you don't mind the cabling dangling, you can just plug it in.

Hey man
Thanks for your answer and the brilliant videos! The quality is really nice.
I think I have to get one of these cams.
Once again thanks for your advice.

One last question: Where did you find it for this fantastic price?
Beste regards

I have the same camera.
But instead of installing it at your spot, I have it installed at the top of the windshield, against the roof border (where the mirror's cable tube is located). It's more stealthy this way.

Can you take some pictures and show us?

Nice! All good additions. Hope you don't mind if some of us copy your mods.

Hey bud.

Where did you buy the LED setup for the interior lighting. I like the difference.
