I use a Viofo A119 v3 -- good 2K picture quality, though the mini-usb input and user interface are pretty dated imo.

For crash safety, make sure you pull the pillar trim off and secure the wires firmly out of the way of the side curtain air bags. The A-pillar trim is held on by snaps and then there is a single bolt on a string that tethers it to the pillar.

Your SD card should be made specifically for dash cams due to the high temps and constant read-write cycles. I use a Sandisk Max Endurance card. 128Gb fills up in about 10 days with a 20-minute commute each way, so I'd recommend a higher capacity card.

Anyone install a dash cam on their Maverick? And for how long have you had it? I go to Dashcam reviews on Google and on YouTube and there are so many negative reviews it’s hard to find a dash cam that actually works and lasts.
I have used "Rove" for years and never experienced any issues.

I have a viofo a229 pro 3 cam ready to install when I get my maverick. On the bench it's great, and has 5ghz wifi.

I have a garmin dash cam mini 2 as well in a different vehicle, and its nice but it was a pain in the ass to pair with the android app. I do like how tiny and out of the way it is.

I should get my new Maverick in early July, and I am researching dash cams now. I like both the Viofo A329 and the Thinkware U3000, but the Viofo is out of stock everywhere except eBay. I am leaning towards the Thinkware U3000 paired with the Thinkware iVolt Mini battery so that I can enable parking mode without draining the Maverick's battery.

FitCamX does a decent job of making their dashcams look OEM. The first one we bought tracked a DUI two days after we installed it. Bought a second for the other car. Bought the third one for our new Maverick. Dealer won’t install it so after I get it installed I’ll post pics. Installed the other two front and rear myself. Would not be without one.

Wolfbox 900. 1 year in the Maverick - hardwired. No issues.

My search got easier once I decided i wanted a rear-view mirror style dashcam.
Only had to choose between Wolfbox and Pelsee at the time.
Did you install the WolfBox cam over the factory mirror or removed the mirro and installed using the adapter kit that slips into the existing windshield bracket?

I removed the OEM mirror and used the Wolfbox adapter kit.

Thank you I am waiting on my Wolfbox G900 TriPro Cabin DashCam to arrive I will look at what adapters are available to replace the OEM mirro 👍

Thank me later.

Project Farm, is one of the best resources I have found for things like this.

I've been looking at this Pelsee mirror cam. My Maverick doesn't have Copilot 360, and I've heard the BSD works good with this camera.

I have this one an much prefer it over the Wolfbox options. The screen is more reflective and functions as a rear view when it's off.

The smart functions on all rear view cameras are useless though and I wouldn't suggest buying based on that. The Wolfbox ones have a more active support network but I don't think it's worth the cost premium.
