GX Dash Cam
Just ordered a SpyTec A119 Car Dash Cam. Looking forward to installing it in my GX and writing a thorough review with Pics!. Anyone have any tips on removing the Driver side A pillar trim and the plastic trim on top of the rear view mirror?

Nice GX...the wheels go well with it!
I have the same camera and will look to install it soon. I think you can wedge the wire between the windshield and the roof line, there's enough space in there. For the A pillar I think it's just holding on with clips so you can pop it out. I'll see if I just wedge it in and run to the fuse box with Add-A-Fuse.
That was how I installed the same camera in my previous truck.

Please take plenty of pictures, I don't think the A pillar trim just pops out though and I'm a little concerned because of the air bag there. I did buy an Add a Fuse wiring kit for 12 bucks off Amazon, seems like a pretty simple install.

I was concerned about the air bag too, no problem. I forgot to mention the overhead console removal so I just added it.

I plan to use an Invisicord for mine. Just gonna tap into the Homelink mirror. I've run in two other cars for several years without issue.

My USB adapter that I installed in the fuse box went bad. I installed this above the overhead console. Definitely a better way to go and it has several connector options for your device.

What kind of Micro SDXC card are you using for the dashcam? I'm using a 128GB Adata and it starts to have alot of issues recording. Sometimes it works for 3-4 consecutive recording (3minutes each) other times all are corrupted.
I tried a 32GB Silicon Power brand and it seems to work fine without issues. I'm thinking of getting a 64GB and see that Transcend 64GB High Endurance and Ultimate series are recommended as well as Lexar High Endurance.

I was able to tuck the cord under the A-pillar where it meets the windshield but if you want to remove the A-pillar fro a cleaner install, there's two bolts in the grab handle you need to remove. Just pop off two little covers on the handle to access the bolts.

Thanks. I concluded that my Adata 128GB is defective. I want to get a MLC card, Transcend High Endurance is the one everyone recommends, but I couldn't find one in stock from Amazon with prime shipping so I picked up a Sandisk 64GB High Endurance too. The current 32GB Silicon Power seems to work well as a hold-over until the Sandisk arrive.

I started getting a disc error on my Transcend cam several days ago (I formatted it several times). I am using a ScanDisc Ultra Plus 64GB. I ordered a Transcend 64 and 32GB as a back up. I thought it was Amazon Prime but it was not so I am still waiting. I have had a dash cam for years and hate to be with out it

I have a 3 min.1080p dash cam video and I can't seem to find a program on my PC to edit it to 30 seconds. I just uploaded it to the Google above and it is only 360p and no option to crop the video. I tried the CL software upload and it goes to 99% and stalles. I have a youtube account but prefer to keep it off there.
