Dashcams
As I said previously, why is getting into the fuse box such a drama? You should be able to pop the cover off and get on with the job.
Instead on the Grandland the glove box has to be unscrewed and even then it's not easy.
Poor design from Vauxhall......

Mine is just to the left of the rearview mirror, so it is partially obscured from my view by the mirror. Not in the way of any sensors

Garmin 55 or 65. Installed by Halfords. Would have done it myself but didn't want to be pulling bits of trim apart on a brand new car hahaNo1sonuk wrote: ↑Sat Dec 29, 2018 10:23 pmThanks.

It seemed quite easy to smuggle the wires behind the head lining and down the pillat

You need to be mindful of where exactly you place your dash cam so that you are not breaking any laws. A lot of people aren't actually aware that their dash cam is placed illegally. Something to do with obstruction of your windscreen and driver's view and all of that.
Speaking from personal experience, I bought myself a F200 from https://www.racshop.co.uk/thinkware-f200-dash-cam.html and had it fitted as I didn't have the time to try and hardwire it myself. Overall it's a good dash cam, but sure there will be better models out there.
I've heard Roadhawk dash cams are pretty good, too.

I have mine to the left of the camera in the windscreen, behind the mirror.
I can only just see the bottom of it.
It was a pig to run the cable up inside the door pillar trim. I ended up using a borescope camera I have to run a string down, then used the string to pull the cable up.
