Which dash cam for '20 M340
Hi all. I’ve seen vantrue and redtiger are pretty good. Front/rear. I want to hardwire so I can always see. Would it kill the battery long term? Anyways- please recommendations!
🙏🏼🙏🏼

Yes, I did. Easy to do. Maybe less than an hour of work.

I don’t use the park mode. So I have it on a switched circuit (although that still stays on for a few minutes after locking the car).
No problems with the battery. If you want to use the park mode feature, it is probably a good idea to get one of those dedicated power supplies. Like this one: https://www.thedashcamstore.com/blac...-battery-pack/

I just recently installed Blackvue front and rear with the external battery, love it. Battery is in the glove box.

The older DR900X 2 channel, no complaints, looks and works great.
