Also interested in this.... looking for something subtle that isn’t too obvious.

Terrific review. Net works well if you don't need parking mode. I was hoping it would capture the rear of the car too. Not just front. Maybe only larger cameras do more than the front windshield view?

You can add as many as you want to your car, 1 in front and 1 in rear

Correct, bit of Freshman Q, I guess.

I was thinking for a convertible. Or even if coupe work with a clear shot to the rear windows. Rather than 2 cameras to maintain.

I have a Thinkware F770 Pro in my Vantage, and an F800 Pro in my A5. Both are front and rear (separate small camera for the back window, connected via USB to the front), both provide great pictures. The F770 is a bit older, so this advice probably won't be useful, but the newer models use a different mobile app that is WAY better, so I'd recommend the newer ones over the F770.

Here's a timelapse I made from the F770 (aside from a few cars at the start, everyone was moving over for the Aston, so I wanted to commemorate that ultra-rare event in video):

Thank you! These days, the camera is important accessory. Long overdue to install one.

I also have thinkware's in my cars. The only problem is they seem to drop the connection with my I-Phone 6s pretty quick.

Ive installed the Garmin 65W on my V8V, IMHO its excellent and I installed one for someone else too on their DB9, good bit of kit and the parking kit is essential.
