    Been looking at fitting ultra discreet or ultra small dash cam for the Q7 in the long term


    - This Product shows up a lot on the searches - Anyone come across this or used one??
    [iconCam] new Audi Dashcam (black and whitish beige) Car Camera Black Box to Fit A1/A3/A4L/A5/A6/A7/A8/Q3/Q5/Q7 - Kammu.com - Not sure about the website though..

    I thought the new Q7 would have the camera installed there (behind the mirror) but the front camera is actually above the mirror



    Behind the mirror the base looks like below.. Which appears to have some vents through them... Not sure of the purpose of those vents.. ??

    Any tinker-teers think this could be viable and easy install or if you have ever removed that bit under the Audi mirrors - given the camera below actually exist and not a scam?



    Google's seems to have loads of pictures as below, thought maybe someone out there actually has one or seen a really one ..

    I had the same sort of search results when I was looking for something permanent in my A7, I liked the idea of this being part of the mirror fitting but decided against it as I couldn't find anyone that could fit it for me and I'm not good with the technical side of things, went for a Thinkware F750 2 channel instead, works well and feel more comfortable driving., there is a new Thinkware F770 out now which looks smaller and likely better quality as is the case with most new releases.

    Where exactly did you end up place dash or windscreen? Take it's quite s petit discreet-ish device?

    local install ? or specialist Audi type.. I think the Fuse stuff for the new Q7 is on the left passenger side footwell..

    I have a nextbase 312gw. Has to be mounted slightly to the side of the mirror as there's a sensor built into the rear of the mirror (auto dimming probably).
    Run down the side and used the nextbase piggyback fuse kit to supply it with switched power.
    Works well and I barely notice it. More visible to the passenger I think.

    I have been looking at the Thinkware for a while there are some great reviews and installation videos on You Tube. If I had not managed to get speed cameras into the car sat nav via POI I would of got one as the thinkware also has GPS built in and will also alert to speed cameras etc.

    I was looking for one that would work when parked. My X5 was hit last year when parked but fortunately they left details. Not sure the cost makes sense though.
