DASH CAMS

[AUDLEY]

For anyone interested in a Dash Cam for their Lexus, it might be worth your while waiting for the Genuine Lexus Dashcam:

It does appear to be only 1 Channel, but if the price is right you could consider installing 1 for the front and another for the rear.

Seems to have a good spec and does everything the Blackvue does, but would not require the Power Magic Ultra B124 Powerpack for Parking Mode.

Seen adverts for it in Canada but nothing in the UK yet.

My local dealer could not find it on his parts list, but he is investigating.

Lexus Swindon sent me an email a couple of weeks ago offering the genuine dashcam. Unfortunately I deleted the mail, but they stressed that the mounting was designed to look OEM - and from the pictures it did. Believe it was £249 fitted.

I also saw an advert when I popped into Lexus Reading.  It think they wanted £275 fitted, but I can't be sure.  If the pictures they had were accurate, then it was this one:

I am tempted to get one the next time my car goes in for a service.

@shahpor - I’m sure there has been a thread recently on the LOC forum. What you have stated is correct.

Funnily enough Ron, after a bit more browsing this thread comes up, which is the one I assume you are referring to:

About half way down the first page @pobrown shares his experience on having one fitted.

[Zoot1948]

Yes Shahpor, that’s exactly the thread I was referring to. Well found!

Did a bit more research on the Lexus Genuine Dash Cam and found this article:

Finally Purchased a BlackVue DR900S-2CH 4K dashcam & B-124 Power Magic Ultra Battery Pack from amazon.  Successfully installed it in my NX300.  I hard wired it to the fuse box.

Works great.  I would be happy to share my experience with anyone who is considering installing one.  You can contact me on: audley.burton@outlook.com
