Check out https://dashcamsaustralia.com.au/

I purchased three of the 2 channel Black Vue's from them (https://dashcamsaustralia.com.au/sho...ch-ir-version/) and they are excellent.

Very easy to install, great picture quality from both cameras, and a cool wifi feature so you can watch live or recorded data from the SD card.

I looked at all the other brands, but decided on Black Vue in the end as it's a sleek unit that neatly fits behind your rear view mirror, and seemed to be the best value for money at the time!

My concerns are the rear camera and running the cable. I don't want to comprise the integrity of the cabin
Is there a Bluetooth option for the rear camera?

You're welcome!

If you contact Dashcams Australia as suggested they will have an installation solution for you that is neat & tidy, and will be able to answer your question re bluetooth also.

Not sure where you're located as your profile is incomplete, but I had mine installed professionally by Le Tint in Hoppers Crossing near Melbourne and they did an excellent job. Speak to Le on 03 9369 3888.

I have equipped all my cars (even my company cars) with blackvue 650GW 2 channels. They are very easy to install. Regarding the cable inside the cabine for the rear camera, it is very easy to just run it in the seam between the roof and the pillars. Above the doors, just push the cable behind the rubber gasket. very easy to do and totally invisible. There is no wireless rear cam, simply because you will still need to feed it with power. Right now the power cable is also the data transmission cable.
