Hey all, just wondering if anyone had a dash cam installed on their MK7 GTI or R in Sydney? I'm looking to get a Blackvue 2Ch installed and wish to use an installer who worked on these cars before.
Currently I've narrowed down to Strathfield car radios at Concord or The Car kit company mobile installers.
If anyone got any experience with these guys it would be greatly appreciated.

I also self installed (the front only). Dash cam A118C (would got for a A119 now) about AUD80, parts to hard wire from ebay cost $3, pluggin and threading cables takes 30min, really quite easy.

Super easy to do it yourself. I installed a 2 channel BlackVue, plus PowerMagic Pro, probably took 30 mins?

Did you do it properly with addafuses or just jam wires down the sides of fuses Ive done 7 and never done one that fast but then Im pretty fussyOriginally Posted by danielb_c
Also takes a while to neatly hide the cables behind the panels especially at the rear.

I used fuse taps with twin fuses. The only cabling visible is from each dashcam to the nearest trim (maybe 7-10cm max at the front, 1-2cm at the back.) I removed the trim at the top of the hatch, and ran cable through it. I didn't find I needed to take much else off.
The only way I've see the cable hid better is taking apart the surround for the rear view mirror/sensor assembly which I didn't feel was worthwhile.
I've had it in since October last year and the cables haven't poked out at all. So I'm happy enough.
