Wire hidden but not hard wired, still in the cig lighter socket but wire is tucked basically everywhere it can be.
On 1 of the photos you can see the wire coming up from beside the driver seat into the parking brake cover. |

To the OP, Gorgeous! Not a fan of red on blue (superman), but I have a blue on the way. I can't wait to get the alcantara/CF kit in it.
Not to steal a thread, but what good are these things? Do they record all the time or only after an accident, or what?

As for the dashcam? Are you kidding me? I've been an insurance agent for 9 years now and I've seen some really good people get screwed over really badly so it's a small investment that could cost you 1000s later on. It runs when the car is running. Automatically shuts off around 10 mins after I get out of the car. It has different settings based on regular recording/event recording when it thinks something has happened. Full 1080p, full sound, GPS, etc. I love it. Here's a video that caught a truck misjudging the height of his rig going underneath a bridge that actually made it onto Jalopnik. That was on my S4. Here's a quick video of me making it home in time just before a hail storm a few days after picking up the 2er. Last edited by CONTROL ONE; 09-06-2014 at 01:09 PM.. |

OP: Not to go off thread either.. but I've been wanting a dashcam for the longest time. Is it easy to access the videos or do you have to be connected to the same wifi network? In the event you get into an accident, would you be able to pull the video and show the cop or do you need to take the sd card out and play it on something else? |

Thanks!
It's honestly so much of an improvement over the brushed aluminum. Really makes it feel like a different car. Quote:
I stuck it on the windshield? The wiring goes up into the headliner, down through the A pillar, under the door sill, behind the passenger seat (under the carpet) and up into the parking brake boot, then out through the shift boot to the cig lighter so out of all of that, maybe 6" of cord is visable. Haha, I actually did one when I installed it on my Audi. Maybe I'll see if I can dig that up. |

Great looking car!
The tint looks spot on for the car. I think I'm going 20% next time.

I've had the exact same tint on all of my vehicles in the last 10 years. It's actually labelled as 15% but because it's ceramic and not dyed, it ends up being closer to about 18% translucency which is perfect. Can't see in and from the inside it barely feels like it's even tinted. |
