I ordered this about a month ago. I just don't have time to deal with installing it. I bought all the cables to hardwire, etc.

Anyone know someone who could install them? Front and back camera.

We had bestbuy install the one in my wife's car. Just be real specific about where you want it placed on the windshield. I think Mobile Toys does it as well. I did my own and it wasn't near as hard as I thought snaking the wire through.

I have that same dash cam and I like it. Thought I don't have the bluetooth remote. I'll have to check that out.

I previously had a front dashcam only but got a front and rear cam system on Prime Day.

I never really thought about having mine professionally installed. I had to get creative because I have a soft top convertible Bronco so I had to mount it on a part of the vehicle that would not be affected by raising or lowering the top. Running the wires was easier than I expected but I had to use zip ties to attach the rear camera to the roll bar and it looks a little ghetto. If it doesnt function the way I want it to, I may have to use an installer myself. But since the students are back, time was of the essence so I slapped it together this morning.

I just don't have the time or patience. If I were to try to install it myself, then that's work that I can't be doing so that's money I'm not making. But def want to get it done!

I had one installed by Mobile Toys on highway 30. I was pleased with their work. Functions well and all wires are hidden.

I have the same model. Did it myself , but it will take some time. Ag solar Guard, and I think Texas Truck Riggins will do it for you.
Walk softly and carry a big stick! Make sure the big stick makes big boom noises and flashy bright lights.

A friend told me they install all kinds of things.

This is super helpful. I will be getting a dash cam as well. This week after a car side swiped me and ran off the officer encouraged me to get a dash cam. I was fortune to give a description of the car and the police found it as I wasn't quick enough to chase the man down.

Just made the appointment with Ag Solar Guard. Theirs's was a set install fee. Mobile Toys was a set cost per hour, and they said 2-4 hours. While I doubt it would take 4, that would have been a steep bill. ASG was the same cost as 2 hours with MT, so going that route. I'll post an update once done!

If you haven't already bought a dash cam, you can take the easy way out like I did and get an Uber-style dash cam that'll also record the interior cabin and the view out the back window. Get a Dongar Tech dongle for a car that they support and connect it to your powered rear view mirror. No hardwiring to fuse boxes or snaking the power cord around trim. I literally spent less than 5 minutes hooking up a dash cam to my F150 and a friend's Toyota Sequoia. You can still use the dongle just to avoid wiring to the fuse box even if you have a front and/or rear view camera.

It won't get a license plate but the video recorded through the back window was good enough to show that the driver that rear ended my wife's car last year was not looking forward. He tried to claim to his adjuster that my wife was partially at fault. I told his adjuster that I had video proof and after I submitted it, they paid 100%.
