Slight update - dash camera installed and hard wired into an ignition live so always recording when I am enjoying Lincolnshires roads.
Decided to go for a Transcend 16GB DrivePro 200 from Amazon and am very impressed with the image and recording facilities.

Also today had the GTI mot'd and it sailed through no issues whatsoever! Happy days and another 13 months of motoring for me!
Nearly on 171k now!  :happy2:

Andy - have atleast another 4 years of the car so should see how far it goes! Hoping to crack the 200k barrier in that time!
Runs sweet as a nut!  :happy2:

Liking the sound of the updates matey, great news about the MOT too! :happy2:

I'll have to come and see how/where you've wired your dashcam as I really want to do the same but don't have a clue where to start! :laugh:

No worries mate - was easy to install

Switched live from fuse box, butchered the 12v plug and added a fused connector to a 12v switched ignition live
Fed the cable up through the headlining and down the air-bag pillar and into the fuse box

Will post some footage from the dash camera when I get round to it!

Dash cam footage from my Transcend 16GB DrivePro 200 Car Video Recorder
Got it from Amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00GRYT5QI?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00



The image quality direct from the device is higher than it appears online due to it being compressed in the upload
Great little camera!

Great little camera!

All those empty spaces you could have parked across and you swung in right next to a car  :signLOL:

Just had these fitted at work, by all accounts they are really good for the price, do you mind if I ask how you wired this into your car, seriously considering one of these.

hi mate,

loving the thread. just a quick question, on your highline clocks how did you get the oil temp etc to appear? is it just a case of cycling through the menu or do you have to do some coding?

Thanks

keep up the good work
