Mangoal, FitcamX or something else?

Have. 2026 Ford Maverick. Any recommendations on a dash cam that doesn’t affect CarPlay? I like the FitcamX and Mangoal but it looks like you can’t use the camera and CarPlay at the same time.

The FitCam X recommended for my 2025 Maverick Lariat is awesome, front and back crystal clear and sufficient memory to keep long enough. I have it in both vehicles and the Maverick version disappears behind the mirror so it is streamlined into the windshield. I recommend it and they will automatically give you a discount once you enter your email.

But does it play along with CarPlay? That’s my big issue If I can’t use CarPlay at the same time as using the camera than I’m not interested.

Will it or will it not work with CarPlay?

No issues there in either vehicle and I am using an iPhone Pro 15 in CarPlay. But the infotainment system is another story. No issues in my 2026 Jeep, but correcting the independent decisions of the Ford infotainment system is another issue with major distractions when it wants to dictate what I am listening to or displaying maps it chooses in my 2025 Lariat.

I’ve also been looking at the FitcamX but haven’t seen anything about it affecting CarPlay. Where have you read that?

This is what I found. It may not be as bad as I thought.

Good news! The FITCAMX Dash Cam for Ford Maverick 2022-2026 does not affect CarPlay or Bluetooth for normal use.
A few things to note:

• CarPlay & Bluetooth: Work as usual — no interference from the dash cam
• WiFi viewing: Your phone can't be connected to both CarPlay and the camera's WiFi at the same time, but you can switch as needed
• Auto-recording: The camera records automatically when the car starts — no need to keep it connected to your phone
