Anyone installed a dash cam in Bronco Sport yet?

I am looking for something small.

I‘m going with a Garmin Mini 2.

I have a ThinkWare U1000. I really didn't want a block that sticks to my windshield. I wanted something small. But after much deliberation, I decided to go for that. It's not obtrusive to my view or anything, so I'm pleased with it. I stuck the rear camera to the plastic trim instead of the glass because it made wire routing cleaner and easier, plus moved it more out of the way visually.

I normally have my V1 mounted just to the left of the front camera but the adhesive let loose so I need to clean off the old goop and figure up a new mounting method...

Slightly off topic question:
For those who have run wire/cord up and around the front pillar(s) around the windshield to the rear view mirror; How easy was it to get behind/or tuck the cord?
I am mounting my V1 G2 to the left of my rearview mirror and need to hide the cord

TIA

I use a Vantrue N4 on my Mustang. Havent put one in the Bronco yet. I needed one that would withstand the Florida heat and get 3 views. Been going strong for a year now. Only downfall is no wifi.

I also installed a V1 to the left of the mirror. Tucking the wire was easy. Stuffing it into the black plastic around the mirror was one of the harder parts, but I've since learned how easy it is to just pop the plastic off.

Wiring into the fuse panel was a different story. Turns out I don't have any empty fuse slots that are switched sources that don't cut power with the auto-start/stop. I spent a ton of time testing each and every one. Very annoying. Almost as annoying as listening to my V1 boot up at every stoplight....

I also learned if your RJ11 wire is too long it won't work correctly. I bought something like a 10' wire to make sure I had plenty, but decided to take the lazy route and not cut it down to size. After about an hour of troubleshooting I figured out it was just too long to work. Cut it down to just the length I needed and now it works.

Good information, much thanks!
