Dash cam
#3
I have been considering the blackvue 650 2ch kit. Was wondering if anyone else has installed this unit in a 2016 maxima and if they had any issues removing the A pillar covers to run the cables behind the air bags. Also wondering if the front camera is well hidden behind the rear view mirror and where is the best place to locate the rear camera as i have the rear window shade. Is there enough room for the camera?

I have one similar to this one in my Maxima and Corvette:
There are many variations of this model out of China and the low cost and decent video make it a good choice for me. I also want one that does not take up a lot of space in the windshield and I have not found one smaller than this.
I hardwired it so it comes on and off when the ignition starts and stops.
Here's a video shot from the Corvette last year. It shows a lady dropping mulch on the freeway because she didn't tie it down properly.

Dash Cam
Just my opinion, but I use BlackVue dash cam. Used it for over 2+ years now in my 2011 Max and now in my 2016 Max. It has parking mode, Wifi, app for the smartphone and computer to view information to include playback with a window showing on google maps (I assume). Has paid off several times already. Good cam. I only have the front one but you can get the front and back. I have it wired to plug into my 12-volt power, neatly from the windshield, down to the floor, under my WeatherTech mats to my 12-volt connector. Bought mine on Amazon but you can check out the cams at: http://www.blackvue.com/ Just my 2-cents!

However, hard wiring seems like it would require quite a bit of effort and removing panels, etc which I wouldn't want to screw up not knowing what I'm doing exactly.
Was this process difficult in your opinion? I'd be interested to know how things went especially with the 16 Maxima in particular.

This is the one and only reason I haven't purchased a dash cam yet. I don't want some cheap *** wire hanging down from my windshield and something always plugged into my console to keep it powered.
