Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum and was very interested to read this chat. I've just sold by beloved 2015 XC60 which had a Viofo A119 hardwired in (done by myself) I sold it with the car.
I have an XC40 T4 Inscription Pro on order which should be with me in mid-March (ordered 8th Dec)
Since ordering the XC40 I've done a lot of research on different forums and google searches for a good reasonable priced dashcam which is inconspicuous.
I’ve also spotted the Dutch company selling this, which really caught my eye.

I’m sure it will be an excellent dashcam but for me €399 is more than I want to spend as the Viofo was around £50 and excellent for my needs IE. Fit it, forget it. Until the day footage is needed. My daughter found this out and the evidence from the Viofo fitted in her car (done by Dad) was invaluable.
I eventually found this on Aliexpress

My 23 year old son (or IT support as l call him) you know where I’m coming from if you’re in your 50’s like me, said Ail Express are reputable. I’d never heard of them.
For £45 delivered from China I thought a would take a gamble. Well it arrived 3 weeks later.
I’ve hooked it up to my 12v golf battery and have got to say the initial tests I’ve done are excellent. Fitted a 32gb card from Amazon. Image is just as good as the Viofo A119 if not better..
Nothing to mess with on the dashcam itself all done via the app. There is a little bit of pigeon English in the instructions but it’s OK to set up.
Once fitted it should look somthing like this (picture for illustration)

Hope this helps someone?
), but planned - due to comments here - install it on passenger side, away from my eyes anyway.
