Dash cam cameras for the XC40
I've fitted a Blackvue 2channel system into my Audi S5 (was in my F Pace) and now looking to purchase the same and install in the XC40 - For me the Blackvue systems are a great piece of kit and pretty discrete - However on reading this thread I had not considered the space limitations due to the large internal camera housing that is already in the car - Will have to take a look before I commit!

It does have the adjustable lens, will report back once fitted.Rifleman wrote: ↑Wed Apr 11, 2018 11:27 amDoes the Anker have the left-right adjustable lens like the Viofo?
My current car has a similar safety gadget setup, mounted camera on passenger side close up to the plastic with the lens angled to the right. Just get a slight cut off of picture from the plastic cover but nothing too intrusive.
The left-fight adjust also gives the option of mounting top left or right of the screen and angling toward center but the screen on my car is too curved to do that, not sure about the XC40...

When you go on the link you Kindly provided, it states not compatible with the new XC90, possibly due to the reasons mentioned previously in this post and thus will probably not be compatible with the XC40??

Also looking at the Blackvue, I'll probably just mount it to the left of the box. Will slightly reduce the view as supposed to centred but they are quite wide angled anyways.Andy S wrote: ↑Wed Apr 11, 2018 5:26 pm I've fitted a Blackvue 2channel system into my Audi S5 (was in my F Pace) and now looking to purchase the same and install in the XC40 - For me the Blackvue systems are a great piece of kit and pretty discrete - However on reading this thread I had not considered the space limitations due to the large internal camera housing that is already in the car - Will have to take a look before I commit!

TBH its quite a way to the left on my Audi as it has quite a large internal camera/speed etc housing and no problems on quality of picture.

Thinkware F800 pro; we have the older F770 model on one or of our vehicles, did lots of research before purchasing, and having had it for 18months, its still very impressive.
T5 FE GREY OUTSIDE; BLACK INSIDE; 20" RIMS; Oct 19 DEL with P*
The camera is less than 40mm down from the passenger side wiper mark so should keep the law in check.
No affiliation to Roav or the dealer on Amazon, however solid bit of kit that tucks away nicely for £99 delivered.
Details of the camera for those interested here;
