I've routed the power cable down the side pillar, behind the glove box and through the center console. It's barely visible.

Rexing V1

 

Sorry, Homey don't do no cable routing. The "mirror" V1 appears to be self-contained and battery powered, unlike the rest of the V1 line. It looks like a more elegant solution for the EX Fit. 7 inch dash rear view and lane change, 4.3 inch rear view mirror disguised as a cordless dash cam looks perfect to me. Currently out of stock as is my cash.

 

Are you talking about the R1? If so, the battery design is similar to the V1. It's not supposed to be used as the primary source, just as a backup. You'll probably get 2m of use before it dies. It'll need to be plugged in. (FAQs ? Rexing Dash Cam)

I thought about getting it for my wife's car since she doesn't have a backup camera. It can add that capability. I'd warn you that the resolution of the rear camera isn't the greatest. It looks similar to the one I had in the V1P and was maybe 480x320

 

Homey apparently failed to distinguish between V1 and R1. Sorry about that. Still looking for a dash cam that isn't sending "steal me" messages to parking lot thieves. No dangling cords, no suction cup rings on windshields.

 

Not sure what you have against routing the cords, it's not particularly hard. If you can change the cabin air filter, then you can do it...

R1 is available on Amazon

 

To paraphrase Red Skelton's Bad Widdle Boy (dating myself)), "You don't know me very well, do you?" If I take apart something, I'll always wind up with two, three parts left over when reassembling. I am Clumsy Carp, a mechanical disaster looking for a place to happen. But I do know my limitations.

 

So you're skilled at making devices more efficient on how they are assembled?

 

Haha... I hate it when that happens, but some parts are just over-engineered. If nothing else, it saves time taking things apart again.
