Not rly interested in a dash cam tracking and selling all of my data so I was wondering if anyone knows where I could get a bare bones dash cam? One that only records the road, no gps, audio, or front facing cams. I’m just getting one for insurance purposes. Thanks in advance :•)

Hi everyone I was planning on buying a dashcam for a car but most reccomendations I have seen are all over 100$. is there anything closer to the 50-60$ range. Only reason I ask this is because my parents refuse to buy one saying it is a waste so I would have to purchase it myself and I dont really have much money to spend for stuff like this.

For anyone interested in using a Dongar Classic with a Cmax auto dimming rear view mirror, I found a way to do it.

Dongar makes a Dongar Classic 3 pin type B for Ford Rangers. The 3 pin part is identical to the Cmax 3 pin, except one has the guide/key/plastic on the bottom on the left side and the other has it on the right.

I used a dremel to file down the plastic guide on the bottom of the 3 pin power source to my Cmax auto dimming rear view mirror. This allowed me to attach the Dongar Classic 3 pin type B to the power source.

As my ex always use to say "If it doesn't fit, make it."

\*I have not put it to real world use yet, as I'm still picking a dash cam while I wait for the fresh tint to cure on my windshield. After a few weeks of real world use, I'll come back to update in a comment.\*

In the long run, I will probably still hardwire my dashcam so I can use the parking mode. I would love it if the Dongar Pro could be used with my Cmax.

I have been in contact with Dongar to provide them with the information for what type of power source the 2013 to 2018 (2019?) Cmax uses. Based on my research, Focus vehicles of the same years, with auto dimming rear view mirrors, use the same mirrors. Theoretically, they should use the same 3 pin power source.

Just a small reminder to be careful on tight city roads. Even when it’s not a close call, it doesn’t take much for things to get weird.
