Exclamation Best Hidden Dash Cam?
Hey, I am looking for the best hidden dash cam that I can have wired professionally. I found Fitcamx selling one, but it looks like the back dash cam is visible.

I installed the Fitcamx. Easy install & looks factory. Front camera only.

2025’s have a built in dash cam you can turn on for $200 through the Mercedes Me app.

Was the option required to be installed at the factory for this feature to work?

Also, does it record automatically each time the vehicle starts, or does it need to be activated manually each time?

Option not required to be installed at factory. Just turn on through the app.

Yes it records 20 minutes segments automatically at start up. Works perfectly.

I mounted mine right behind the rearview mirror using the USB-C port in the overhead console for power...stays hidden and starts up clean with no dangling wires.

Is this for a new G class? The factory built in dash cam for $200 is hard to beat, you only need to provide your own removable thumb drive. Auto start/stop and loop.

I ended up going with the Insta 360 today since it stays tucked up near the rearview mirror and doesn't block any view. I added the optional rear camera, and I might go for another one later. I wanted a clean setup that could capture full road view in 360 and still let me keep everything looking stock from inside the G-Wagon.

How did you get the 360 to tuck under? Every image of it I can find it is outside of the car.
