Default XC60 2021 Dashcam options

Hi all,

I want to buy dashcam for my XC60 2021. I stumbled upon this, so far:
https://www.vivaperformance.com/plug...-up-to-my2021/

Anyone fitted dashcam like this one before, integrated to car electrics? Any problems? I will need to find UK stock at some point, or import this cam (its USA stock I think), your thoughts and feedback appreciated.

Neat execution, main reason we've never bothered is that I'm yet to see a tidy OEM-like install.

Keep us informed.

Looks similar to https://fitcamx.com/. If I didn’t have a universal dashcam I’d go for the FitcamX.

So you have universal dashcam, how did you choose to power it?

I used one of these, the wire tucks away quite nicely without any clips all the way at the top of the screen and down to the OBD port. Mine uses a mini usb but they have an option for micro.

REARMASTER Universal OBD Power Cable for Dash Camera,24 hours Surveillance with mode switch button (mini-usb) https://amzn.eu/d/gU1ExQG

This is the dashcam I bought, works pretty good TBH.

By the way, this is Fitcamx. Just different retailer. Let me find the original quick:
https://fitcamx.com/collections/volv...40596270219436

How to fit:
+ YouTube Video
ERROR: If you can see this, then YouTube is down or you don't have Flash installed.

My car interior looks exactly like in the video, so it all should be compatible. Next thing, I will open up the plastic and see if I have these cables exposed, if I do, then installation will be painless.

This seems to be UK stock!

I bought one of these direct last month, came quickly, very easy to fit and looks good. Hope I never need it ..

I just bought one of these direct from www.fitcamx.com. It was $151.20 (£126.77) including shipping after using promo code FIT287 to get 10% off.
