    If you do get it make sure the firmware is updated to V2.1.

    Flux capacitor!
    I just got the NSV direct plug and play for the Tundra. I’ll try and get it installed this week and give some feedback on it. 7030E6C2-9DFF-4E0F-BFA3-B01C9252ABD5.jpg134BEC88-F7D1-432F-8367-037C6C260299.jpg 8E383E6A-2093-4304-87E5-3C92F1D4CCB2.jpg

    I've been thinking about getting a camera for the cabin and I think this N2 Pro is a good solution. :thumbsup:

    I snagge the Viofo A119. I'll be installing it later this week. I'll post some video from it once I get a chance later one. Got a big road trip coming up next week. Should be some shenangians along the way.'

    I have one of these SD cards. Hopefully it'll be fine in the dash cam?

    I am using the same SD card in my YI dash cam. The SD also works in my Chrome book.

    One other thing Best Buy had the same 64 SD card for 25.99. Lately, I have noticed that Amazon prices have not always the cheapest.

    Those are Canadian prices. Best Buy is almost $40 for the same card here. Welcome to Canada. ;)

    In the back, I have a Yi wedged, no 3M tape, no holes, nada. The buried wire on the side acts as an additional anchor.

    Budget A119V2 and Yi don't have parking mode. If you want dual channel front/rear dashcams with parking mode, where it sits idle and records when someone bumps/vandalizes your parked truck, this package is good, before going into more expensive Thinkwares and Blackvues:

    Lots of vids like this why you might want one (although I'm pretty sure she backed into him because it's a Ford).

    I had a drunk AF chick back up into at a stop light....I told her I was calling the cops to get the blue forms they do here for minor accidents, when in actuality I was calling because she couldn't even stand up without holding on to me. I wish I had a dash cam then. Does help that when you tell civilian cops you are a military cop and have been trained when you tell them all the things you saw (and smelled)….BOLO was put out for her because she took off and almost hit 3 other vehicles....all of which had children in them.

    I just received the Vantrue N2 Pro (dual channel) a couple of days ago, trying it out ... not the cheapest ($260 off Amazon.ca) but the features seemed good, vid seems quite good quality on both cams, rear facing cam gets a good shot out the rear window of the Tundra and driver/pax ...

    Only two complaints so far ... lack of wifi connection/app that some others have (ie: you have to take the cam and connect via usb cord to download ... or remove the sd card) ... second complaint is the use of a suction mount that is quite long, not as compact as others are ... will continue to test and see if I can come up with a better location, if I end up keeping it I'll hardwire as well as get the gps mount ...

    What cam are you running and what experiences have you had ... ideally I'm looking for something discrete and with wifi ...

    Thanks
