Porsche Dash Camera SKU: SKUDASHCAM

First off, the experience of installing this cam was a nightmare. My 992 GTS was "pre wired" for this camera, but only the front camera would work. My gracious dealer told me they didn't know if they could fix it, and it wouldn't be covered by warranty, and they were not able to tell me how much it might cost. Eventually I fixed it myself by removing the interior trim and power-cycling the rear camera (no idea WHY that worked, just that it did). Now, on to the camera itself. The app is "OK", and does mostly what you need, but the main function of a dash cam is to record video.. this is where it fails dismally. I have the cam set to continuously record. Today I was driving, and a guy in a big truck veered into my lane as we were turning a corner, I zoomed wide to avoid, then cut back in front. He had plenty of room. Looking in the rear mirror, he then flipped me off. So, now I want to see the video, but... not recorded. Only 3 minutes of recording from today, and I was driving for about an hour. It wasn't the most recent 3 minutes either (for those thinking perhaps the memory card was full), just random grabs from the highway. I mean, it has one job. This wasn't a "critical" event, but if it can't be relied on to record, then it doesn't have a purpose. It's going in the trash and I'm just going to have to eat the cost of buying a "real" dashcam and having it installed.

Preparation for Porsche Dashcam (Front/Rear) Option code on Model 992 is 2PF

I got this for my Taycan GTS. I explored the popular FitcamX product, but it didn't work when I tried it and decided instead to stick with a fully-supported and warranted solution. My car does not have the prewire option for dashcam, so only the front camera is supported. Apparently the rear camera requires the prewire option. Install ran me just over $1000 with tax at my local Porsche service center. I had them install mine low and centered such that the camera lens is right in front of the plastic mirror trim. I am very happy with this location as it's mostly out of my way. Note that the Porsche install instructions (and the sample photo here on Suncoast) put the camera installed higher and to the left of the mirror assembly. I was very explicit in my instructions to the tech to make sure it didn't end up there. This does require them filing a bit of the plastic trim around the top console so the wire can pass through, which looks great and I'm very happy with. The camera turns on and off with the car and supports monitoring when parked. In parking mode it will save an "event" based on vibration, radar or video analysis. I had to use video analysis as my car unfortunately has the treated glass option and radar cannot pass through. GPS does though, so all the videos are correctly location-stamped. The app is a little clunky but works, you must connect to the dashcam's hotspot to view or download videos, or just remove the SD card. There is an option to attach the camera to the car's hotspot. I've enabled the hotspot to see what it does differently; if it can send me push notifications in this configuration in response to car events I'll be very happy. The video quality is great, the audio quality is serviceable - a bit of clipping capturing loud music in the car but honestly it's fine for what it needs to do. The camera announces mode changes in a female German accent which I appreciate :) All in all I am fully gruntled. With labor it's more expensive than other offerings, but I have the peace of mind that I have a fully supported warranty safe option.

I bought 2 dash cam's and had them installed on my Macan GTS and Boxster T. I installed the cameras in the upper right corner of the rear view mirror so its out of my sight of vision while driving, but still get a center view from its location. The clarity is extremely clear, easy to upload though your phone's Wi-Fi and Bluetooth must be turned on while you are in airplane mode in order for it to successfully pair and upload to your phone's app. I highly recommend this product!!!
