I see there are a couple of options available from Ford rewards- dashcam w rear facing bundle (sku: VHL3z19g490k) and the 4k ultra HD dashcam (VNL3Z19G490D); has anyone had these installed? Thoughts/do they hold up against other options on Amazon etc?
Also are they something I could install myself?

FitCamX seems to lose the date/time if not checked with the app, say, once a week. About 4 hours of record time with the 64GB, so do not delay downloading a video if needed. The videos are set for 1 minute each.

Does anyone use the app on their iPhone with the FitcamX? I'm ready to pull the trigger but want to make sure it's compatable.

Does anyone experience problems with the FITCAMX being very slow over WiFi? I can’t even watch some footage without tons of lag.

I do. You just need to go to the car’s phone list and turn off CarPlay before connecting.

I used to have FitCamX. It really looks like OEM.

I have installed the Wolfbox G900 Pro mirror dash cam a week ago. So far so good.
I enjoy having my rear mirror view from a camera.

Whoa the Wolfbox is nice. I'll have to dig into that a little more.

Just finished tidying up the wiring for my G900 Pro. Removing that panel up by the rear view mirror sure is rough on cold fingers. 😖 One negative I've found so far is that I have it positioned so I can turn the screen off and just use it like a regular rear view mirror which makes it a bit difficult to focus with the screen on since you have the reflection in addition to the digital feed. Definitely nice having a digital rear view especially if someone is sitting in the middle seat though. And the driver's mirror no longer dims which was expected since the sensor is being blocked.
