On the radio last week they were discussing dashcams a guy called in to say the only reason he got a dashcam is because of what happened to his relative (brother, brother-in-law, something like that) who apparently had someone jump out in front of his car for an insurance scam. The caller said his brother is a lawyer with a high profile firm on Bay street and he was found guilty. The caller indicated that if his brother can be found guilty then for sure he wouldn't stand a chance if it were happen to him.
That got me thinking, maybe I should invest in one ...

With all the tech in many new cars, you would think an OEM camera would work some how. Titty's and my TLX have 2-3 cameras lol.

i'm running the G1W-C. cost me around $60?
i wire tapped it from my lighter to a USB dc-dc converter. I was reading online last night about the G1W vs. G1W-C. So do I have to plug in the G1W-C the entire time while I am driving?
I have the G1WH.
they're all the same and most dash cams have to be plugged in bc the battery life unplugged is a joke.

The cigarette lighter plug is behind the armrest on the S, it would be a pain in the a$$ to have it plug while I am driving. Brrrrr
Unless you got orangutan arms - whatever you plug in won't impede your driving position (even if you drive like a stunna).
I charge my phone w/ that power outlet all the time.

there are hardwire kits. my hardwire kit is tucked by the fusebox under the dash.
the hardwire kit I got also has settings to not turn on the camera (while parked) if the battery voltage is below a certain point.
