Camera
January 7/2014
Got this on e-Bay for $20.
January 19/2014
Test mount to the bottom of my radar detector.
February 18/2014
Barely a month of use and the power cable needs repair
from being plugged/unplugged several times per day.
A quick solder repair.
June 22/2014
For the mount, I cut down a GoPro camera mount and used plastic epoxy to bond it to the bottom of my radar detector.
4 months of use and all is well. I finally ran the wire up into the headliner and
down the passenger b-pillar. I still have to hardwire to the fusebox.
July 21/2014
Picked up a fuse tap and cig lighter adapter for the hard wire. To bad stupid me bought a regular size
fuse tap, not a mini fuse tap. Project back on hold.
July 22/2014
Got the correct parts and finished the hardwire.....
Fuse tap hooked up to the sunfoof circuit (I don't have a sunroof).
Finally the install is complete.
October 6/2014
I've been on the look-out for a better camera for quite a while. I finally bit the bullet and got a "Mini 0803" with GPS and 16gb internal memory.
October 7/2014
The base mounted up behind the right side of the rear view mirror.
The camera attached.
This is what you see from the middle of the car.
A bad picture showing how you can barely see the camera.

Picked up a 32GB card for the camera ($19.99 @ Costco).
March 14/2018
A new camera is on the way that can take up to a 128GB memory
card. I picked up this 64GB card ($23.99 @ Costco).
March 17/2018
The old camera was intermittently not working, so I did some research and decided to get a "Mini 0806".

Old camera mount removed.
Mount new base and move power cable; easy install.

A few months ago, one of the memory cards fell inside the camera while I was inserting it. Then, a few weeks ago,
I had the camera in the house to download some data. One of the memory cards fell inside the camera. I now have
2 memory cards rattling around inside the camera; the cards are worth more than the camera. I bought 2 new 64GB
cards, so to prevent loosing them, I put some scotch tape on them before going into the camera. I then wrapped an
elastic band around the camera to keep things tidy.
Got this from Costco.
Tape on cards.
Wrapped up.
July 15/2019
New car, new camera, and I want my memory cards back. Bye-bye Mini 0806.
