    Default Installation of dashcam help!

    I have been using my Blackvue for a while. I am looking for someone to help with the installation.

    Basically, I need someone who knows how to remove an overhead console, A-pillar and surrounding pieces without damage and is able to replace. The car needs to have the overhead console removed due to a large mirror mount housing cameras and other items.

    Additionally, I would like to be able to watch, help or observe what is happening

    Perhaps it'll help to mention what vehicle this is for?

    you can often do it without removal of the panels,just by tucking the wire in from the side.

    It's not the size that matters, it's the taste it leaves in your mouth.

    I can't do it as the mirror housing is an extension of the lights/sunglass cubby. The other option I may need to look at is installing the Blackvue upside down so the wires are on the drivers side of the mirror

    Have a photo of the mirror extension and cubby? Just curious how mounting it upside down would make a difference because in my head I see the extension as symmetrical.

    I wish I had a simple install, then I would do it myself.

    The only place I have spoken with that actually had a reasonable amount of knowledge and were not just begging me for my business was Mobile Solutions. The downside of using them is the cost....so the hunt continues

    Any reason why this is not a simple install?
