Default DVR/Dashcam in Outlander

Is anyone using a DVR/dashcam?

As we have a big thingy with light/sun/rain sensors and a dotted area too there are not that many good places to place the cam.

So share your installation pics!

Here is mine setup now:


Before that same camera was mounted to be exactly in the middle of the windshield:


Previous camera was placed to the right of the mirror:


And the last, but most epic - rear camera temp installation:

Nice ! ! !
I've thought about putting this kit but I want to buy the one that offers Mitsubishi, but is expensive. For me would be very useful accessory because in my country is very difficult to prove your innocence in a traffic accident because people not honest in these situations

I am pretty sure Mitsu don't offer such things - at least I've never heard about it.
And dishonest people and scammers are present everywere.

They do offer it, in fact, already contacted JAPANPARTS, but still I could not buy it, here is the picture I took the catalog of accessories from Japan, part number are MZ607449 and MZ607450

Did not know it exists.

Still not impressed. Over $800 for this is a bit pricey.

Found some bigger pics:



For about $250 you can get much nicer FullHD device (FullHD is important due to possibility to record readable license plate numbers).
G-sensor and GPS are included, just the same as original Mitsu's.

I will order one for me

I use my cell phone placed in the bottom centre of the windshield. Hoping to get a new phone soon that can do 1080p and have a front camera, so I can record both directions simultaneously (none support this so far I believe).

I bought it on ebay. Power Magic was not included, I don't think I need it.
I wired BV to the all time +12V on the roof. My battery does not complain if I leave BV on overnight. Anyway I can always unplug the cable if the car stays in a dark garage where is nothing to record.

Why do you need to record what's going on inside the car?
