Hi - is this one of their “motorbike” cameras? How did you go about mounting the camera and where did you place the recorder and remote control and how did you wire up the power supply?
Thanks in advance for any tips on installing! |

I've just (this afternoon) installed a NextBase 322GW in my XC40. I used the suction mount which I positioned at the top of the screen next to the Intellisafe housing. I have only started the car and moved it on my driveway, but there were no warnings from the car's systems about it. Longer drive tomorrow, so I'll see if it causes any issues.
I'd been thinking about getting a dashcam ever since I bought the car, but the warnings from Volvo put me off doing so. Yesterday, a jogger wearing headphones ran across the road in front of me without looking. I just stopped in time. That decided me, so I looked on the internet and found that my local Argos had what I wanted for the best price I could find, so I bought one and installed it today.

There is no problem with routing a cable down the A-pillar as long as you follow the same route as any existing wiring and avoid it crossing or laying over the top of the airbag. |

I have my Transcend on my V90 routed the same way as RS3100.

Nextbase fitted by me 3.5 years ago by me exactly as per RS3100 with no issues to date either.

While I think the problems are rare, Volvo are right to warn you about possible interference .
My Nextbase camera interferes with my DAB adaptor (also a Nextbase product) so its quite conceivable that it could interfere with other items as well. We'd only complain if they didn't warn us and then a camera did cause problems.
