Has anyone fitted a blackvue -Dash camera?

No because I fitted a similar (but cheaper) one with its own viewing screen

also lots of other options on evil bay

No- but plenty of members over on Disco3 use them, a few had mix reviews due to software issues but I believe the latest one solved this along with using the correct SD cards

It will do either short recording loops or continuous recording, it's good quality too, have one in the D4  ______________________

I use the blackvue in the D4 and want to fit the second one we have i the FL2.

does anyone know if there is a permantently live feed from the fuse box, and which fuse number it is please

In the D4 Im using a piggy back fuse connector to take power form fuse 40 in the Body Control Module/Fuse box and then fitted an inline switch to power the blackvue on and off.

Got two fitted one in my D3 and other in swmbo's FL2 very good both are 300g that is the gps version that says where you have been, swmbo's is fitted with 16gb micro SD mine is 4gb but soon to be upgraded to 16gb, not had any problems with either one, well did fit swmbo's at the wrong angle so she was recording the sky as it came out of a D3 and the screen angles are different but she just pushed the button on the bracket and turned it to the correct angle.

Mate bought new one and was showing upside down all the time when recording so sent it back no questions asked and new one sent out straight away very good service, be careful if you by off the bay there are cheap copies out there, as long as you keep up with the updates which are free in the site you should have no issues.

Re Perminent live can you not just take one from front interior light I believe that's what they do on the D3s

I want to take power from a piggy back fuse in the fuse box

I fitted one and was happy for the first month - then it stopped recording and said there was an "input error". Contacted Blackvue twice and each time they said they would investigate and get back to me - BUT THEY HAVEN'T.

Does anyone know if the Road Hawk is more reliable? mole

I have just placed my order for one after another person pulled out on me at a round about today...

I have Roadhawk camera's in 4 cars and they are 4 years old and still going !
No problems and no issues or complaints also had excellent service when I bought them.

+1 for Roadhawk.
Great device, never had a bit of trouble, it just works.

Im really interested in a camera but dont want a trailing power cable,my front aux power socket doesnt work either so would be even more untidy plugged in the rear one.

You can wire them in behind the scenes, they don't draw much power so I am considering wiring mine to the interior light.
