Dash cam in a mk6
« on: 26 May 2016, 21:51 »
Hi all.

I am pondering getting a decent dash cam but I can't suss the best place for it-ideally I would like it behind the rear view mirror but that doesn't really look viable.

Could anyone advise/post a pic of their please :wink:

Thanks. Does putting it behind your mirror affect the dimming sensor/headlight/wiper sensor

Anyone got any pics of a cam being fitted to the mk6 please.
I'm now toying with a front and rear camera
