A couple of people have asked for photos of the Blackvue DR650GW 2Ch dash cameras post install so here they are!
I was not present for most of the install, I left the tech to it so I couldn't tell you where a lot of the cable is running.
I can tell you the cable from the front camera goes up and super close along the headlining (really not visible at all) and down the A pillar and into the fuse box under the passenger's footwell.
This is also where the offline power is stored so the camera stays recording motion after the car has been turned off.
The rear cable runs along the window sill (again not visible at all except for a small 1inch/2inches where it slips over the plastic and into the boot frame before vanishing and going god-knows-where.
The tech indicated the MY2016 boot hatch's interior had been completely reworked from the MY2015's and I could see him struggling to find space to thread the cable in, hence the small visible piece.
Photos were taken in the garage so they aren't the clearest and the car is dirty :(
View of the Front camera and Mojo keeping guard in the back ground:
There were two places the tech recommended mounting the camera. Where I have it, and alternatively right below the rear view mirror. Since the rear view mirror is right it the way of everything anyway, I opted to mount it out of my field of view. I hardly notice its there.
The view from the camera is great, high up and a good wide view.
A terrible shot of the wires, had to use the iPhone to provide some light, but these are the only visible wires at the front and you REALLY have to look for them. Enough room to unplug them and detach the camera if need be.
Rear camera, hardly noticeable apart from the LED light.
Here you can see the wires running along the window frame. Super job by the tech and again unnoticeableunless you look really hard. Enough room to detach the camera if need be.
And the only part of the wire at the rear thats really visible. Unless you know where to look, you never see it.

Glad you're happy, he's a top bloke. I got him back to do my new Fiesta ST as well recently.
