Agree, it is a risk. Over the years, I’ve had dealers grasp at a bunch of strange things to try and place blame on the owner.Agree it's unlikely a hardwired dashcam would ACTUALLY cause a problem. I'm more concerned that if the car has an electrical problem even remotely related, it opens the door to the dealer trying to blame the problem on the owner. Ask me how I knowRemember that dealers make far more on retail work and parts versus warranty jobs. so they often have a vested interest in denying a warranty claim. While some might take the position the dealer would need to prove the installation caused the problem, who wants to get into a fight with the dealer over such a scenario? The risk can be avoided by just removing the installation before making a warranty claim that might be deemed to be related. Or alternatively let the dealer do the installation so he can only point the finger at himself.
Same here. I'd prefer to not even give them the chance.Over the years, I’ve had dealers grasp at a bunch of strange things to try and place blame on the owner.
Good point. Never occurred to me that the hatch going up would tug/relax the cable. Gonna have to really think about how to do this nicely!This is the first hatch I’ve driven with a rear dashcam. The cable needs some slack to accommodate an open hutch, but it dangles when closed and is an eyesore. I need some sort of elastic that would pull it against the panel when closed.
Does anyone know of some way to make this happen?
I think one would need an elastic of some sort that could expand to multiple times its original size, yet just gently tug when stretched. It could be taped the the camera one one end and the cable at another. I just don’t know if such a thing exists.Good point. Never occurred to me that the hatch going up would tug/relax the cable.

The installer used a mount and mounted my rear camera under the trim souround at the back. So, my camera is stationary and no slack is needed in the cable. I like how mine was mounted. No cable hanging down.Good point. Never occurred to me that the hatch going up would tug/relax the cable. Gonna have to really think about how to do this nicely!
Can you please post a picture of the mounting location …thanksThe installer used a mount and mounted my rear camera under the trim souround at the back. So, my camera is stationary and no slack is needed in the cable. I like how mine was mounted. No cable hanging down.
