We're wanting to do the dash cam thing for our GLS. Just too many scammers out there, and a shiny blue Mercedes seems like a perfect target.

I see the thread on the FitCam. I looked at their website and like the clean look.

Is the FitCam basically the one to get? Is the rear add-on worth it? Hassle to install the rear version? And lastly, I note the power comes from the rain sensor wiring. That doesn't mean you lose the rain sensor, correct?

Thanks!!

You don't lose anything. The nice thing about the Fitcam is that it looks factory and is an easy install. It is a pretty good camera. There are better cameras out there for quality and features. The Fitcam does not have GPS/Speed or other advanced features like that if that is important to you.

While I have "better" cameras for some of my other vehicles, I went with the Fitcam for look/install. It is up to you.

I don't have the rear so can't talk about install, but in generally the rear is good for the scammers that run into you from behind and then claim you backed up. That could happen, but wasn't worried enough about it to do the rear.

Link to fitcam? Also does it record while parking the car? Also does it record from the rear as well?

I just bought an Insta360 X3 for my dashcam.

Thanks guys, I think we'll go the FitCam route for just the front. I thought about the back and the scammers saying I backed into them. But I think the video from the front would work to defend the case, showing the car was not going backwards in general. Just want some level of protection in case an accident ever happened on who did what. Crap world these days!

FYI, my fitcamx for the front stopped working after 10 months (or may be shorter than 10 months because i didnt realized it until yesterday.

it doesnt turn on, no light, no response. I messaged the seller and they said they will send me a replacement.

are they easy to install?
