2 Channel Dash Cam and e93...Where to mount?

WRichieX · 08-23-2013, 08:02 AM

Hey guys, So I've been looking into dash cams lately and want a 2 channel system so I can have a front cam and a rear cam. However, I'm hoping you e93 guys have done this. Where could I mount the rear cam? I've heard of some that mount a camera in the license plate area but I already have a rearview camera mounted in the trunk handle. Was thinking about tapping into that then realized that the camera faces down. Any ideas? Prefer to mount inside the car.

Did you ever figure out where to mount a rear window dash cam in a E93?

I was thinking to try mounting it right on rear window as normal, yet leaving enough slack in the cable to fold up with the top when it goes down.

Has anyone done this?? If so, which cam did you use?

I ended up just mounting it on the passenger headrest. When viewing rear videos it is angled a little but does the job.

I removed my headrests because they take up too much of the view. Mounted mine on the black plastic
