Hi Everybody! Here are my follow up videos: Universal Mirror Dash Cam Direct Mount Kit ua-cam.com/video/fveZiDofnxg/v-deo.html and Direct Mount Kit for Rydeen dash cams ua-cam.com/video/cCpyHmiZqiY/v-deo.html Cheers!
Hi Alex. I have a Wolfbox G700, fitted to a 2004 BMW X5 E53 4.4I. Can you let me know, at your convenience, if you are aware of a bracket that will be compatible. Alternatively, give me some guidelines as to where I might begin my own search. Thank you for your very informative videos. I hope you are able to assist me in this endeavour.
@mistaimani5824 Hi mista imani! thanks man! ah yes, unfortunately the G700 does not have screw holes in the back, so the conversion kit will not work with it. Cheers!
Thanks Alex,
I did see in your comments section the universal bracket. It’s about the same as strapping the cam to your mirror.
I am looking forward to your mirror mounting modifications.
@@bengb25 You're welcome Bengb X! yeah I have 2 ideas actually for mirrors that do not have a kit available, stay tuned for those videos bud...
Info only - I have the
WOLFBOX G840S which is the same as the G850
Alex . . . In regards to Dash Cams you are the top expert on YT . . . No doubt.
So the Dash Cam Industry must be hearing your opinions. So I decided to share my opinion here.
In my opinion . . . The things that prevent aware people from purchasing.
1) How they hook up . . .
People don't want to remove & damage interior trim in a new car to run unsightly hard wires for an expensive item that is not going to be longterm.
Solution: A) Connection between the Main Camera & Rear Camera needs to be Blutooth.
Rear camera needs to be rechargeable ( USB-C ) and have a 24 hr (or more) capacity.
2) The entire system should be independently rechargeable and self-powered / have its own battery light weight enough to carry indoors if necessary ) and leave the main car battery alone. No messing with the fuse box / car battery / air bags / car trim . . . non-proprietary and easily replaceable by the owner & rechargeable. Leave the main car battery alone. No messing with the fuse box, car battery, grounding sys. , trim panels or the air bags
C) Both camera's need to be more easily removable ( if BT'd the only wire needed would be one power wire to the main camera. Easy removal would provide better conds. for charging. cleaning, inspection and temporary antitheft.
Hey CHINA . . . Do any of these have a visible blinking red led to deter vandalism? Why not?
Thank you James, I appreciate that! Ah good input, I imagine it maybe possible we will see a rechargeable dash cam at some point. The main challenges are fire and duration. The industry is moving away from batteries over to capacitors due to the high temperatures inside a vehicle and potential for a run away event (fire) during charging or discharging inside the car. Here is an example of a internal dash cam battery and what the sun did to it ua-cam.com/video/HW8jqbl_ayU/v-deo.html and a battery related fire I personally experienced ua-cam.com/video/XfWgJ8nu-RA/v-deo.html (destroyed the house). Duration will also need to be increased, current technology would likely require the dash cam to be recharged daily. The closest we have today is a system like this ua-cam.com/video/Ht9Q-0HlKMY/v-deo.html or this ua-cam.com/video/1c7raDpHx3M/v-deo.html with solar charging. For the LED to bring attention to the dash cam here are a couple ones that have it ua-cam.com/video/vUEsIYEBVck/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/lwoSbiwjSik/v-deo.html Cheers!
This Guy Deserves A Metal He Seems To Take His Time To Explain And Does It From His Heart Thank You Sir You Have Saved My Marriage
You're welcome DJ and thank you!
A Metal. ok. Sheesh
Why are you capitalizing the first letter of every word?
“Medal” could be used as term like a Medal Of Honor MOH a medallion an object like a thing you wear.
you single handedly answered all my most pressing questions -- not only in this video but others regarding which rear view mirror cam to purchase. tysm!!
You're welcome Ivan, glad to hear it helped, Cheers!
Where is that video?
This is it! THIS was the video I was searching for a while ago and only found now! After finding out that it was even possible to have a dashcam/rear camera mirror setup (I didnt even know this was a thing until recently!), I kinda felt it was tacky just strapping it over my stock mirror. THIS is the way! Thank you for the video!
You're welcome BargainPaper! Glad to hear it helped 😁
Your videos are so professionally created.
Thank you DRK! 🍻
Doing the Lord's work
I had no idea there were mounts like this for these dash cams. Very cool.
I’m shocked this channel has only 47.3K subs.
Stay at this, keep doing exactly what you are doing. This video is so well done. Your channel will grow if you keep doing videos like this one.
Thank you Todd, I really appreciate that! 🍻
This is great! I had ordered the Wolfbox G900 for my truck. Because of the shape of the mirror it would not work and was just about to return it to my dismay. This is just what I needed to make it work. Thank you for the video!
You're welcome and congrats on your new mirror dash cam, Cheers!
I am having the same problem with my Wolfbox G900 for my Jeep. I love the dashcam itself and it's features, but it's very annoying that I cannot fold down the drivers side sunvisor as the dashcam is in the way. It's also annoying that the adaptive cruise control box is in my recordings since the camera is behind it. I don't want to mount the dashcam anywhere different as I like the stealthyness of it being where the rear view mirror is, and I like how it doesn't take up any additional real estate in my field of view. I've tried a couple other models and they all have similar problems for my Jeep. Wolfbox does offer an OEM bracket to replace my rear view mirror, but their customer support cannot confirm it will fix my problems because they've gotten no customer feedback yet on the 2024 Jeep Wranglers with the issues I'm facing. I wonder if this conversion kit will work or if I should try the Wolfbox OEM bracket.
I learn so much from your videos! They are very clear, organized, thought out, etc, etc. You should be very proud of a job well done! If I lived near you I would have you do all my installs! Best wishes!
Thank you Vince! I appreciate that bud!
So glad I found this video! I love my VanTop H612T, but its weight has been enough to detach the mirror clip from the windshield twice now. I've looked for a direct-attach solution for months, but today is the day! Wow!! Thank you!
You're welcome Mark! glad to hear it helped!
@@AlexAutoFun So far, the screw kit has arrived, but not the adapter. Really looking forward to a great solution to this problem. 😎
@@markborgmann7941 Hi Mark! yeah mine took a while too, I'm guessing because it's coming from overseas plus the delays with the situation going on at the harbors..
@@AlexAutoFun Just got here yesterday! Excited!
@@markborgmann7941 Awesome!
I wish I had seen this before I cracked the windscreen and the rearview mirror of my 32 year old antique while trying to install this properly on my mirror!!!!
Your attention to detail is amazing.
Thank you!
Glad I found this video I am considering getting the G850 and my current mirror wiggles so instead of fixing it Ill just get this bracket. So far all of your videos have been really helpful thank you.
You're welcome, glad to hear it helped Jay, Cheers!
Love how I was looking for something else but ended up finding for something o need to do. Sweet.
What a great and highly informative video. Thank you so much for the links relating to each part we would need. Incredibly useful - coming to you in the future
You're welcome Michael, glad to hear it helped and thank you!
Great video. Clear explanation. Thank you
You're welcome Robert and thank you!
So Much Valuable information, with a fast pace! Subscribed. I just bought a GKU model M11. I will be watching your videos on installing my mirror cam to get a clean like factory look. Thank you So Much for your Channel!
You're welcome Davil! and welcome to the channel bud!
I got the GKU M11 too. Would you share a link to an adapter that works with the mirror. Thanks.
@@cusial Hi cusial pradhan! I have not reviewed the GKU M11 yet, so I'm not sure what kit will fit, however you can measure the back of the dash cam as I showed in the video to determine the size but If I do get a hold of one of one, I will measure it for you and update this comment. Hope this helps, Cheers!
Excellent video , now I can install my Wolfbox with confidence. Amazon- Wolfbox OEM bracket measurements are 13.6 and 6.1 cm for the G850.
Thank you Jas! Ah be careful with those measurements, I noticed both the the G850 and G900 measurements on their Amazon listing are incorrect (for G850 I mean for V2 G850 as V1 G850 did not have screw holes for mounting). I placed the correct measurements on the video description. I'll see if I can reach out to Wolfbox to get those numbers updated (full G850 and G90 conversion video coming stay tuned). Cheers!
Dude, thanks so much! Those "clunky looking straps" were hideous and did that gorgeous mirror NO justice. I have the 12" Jomise and had to get it because my back windows are tinted black (bought my car like that) and the regular mirror didn't work well with the dark windows. I removed my stationary rearview and put in the Jomise with the adapter that I didn't even know existed until I saw your video. Keep up the good work!! 👍😎 A++
You're welcome Alan!
I’ve been looking for an adapter for dodge mirror bracket! That’s the round one you mentioned! You made my day! Thank you!!!!!!!!!
You're welcome Tgcitw1! Glad I could help and thank you for watching bud!
Excellent video. Very useful and straight to the point.
Thank you JohnnyCool! Glad to hear it helped, Cheers!
exactly what I was looking for, thanks for making this video and narrowing it down for us!
You're welcome Yuvi!
Thanks.. I had considered a mirror style dash cam but couldn't find one for RHD cars with the camera on the other side.. And I really didn't like the strap method either. Glad to see there is a conversion kit
You're welcome mpcp27! yeah I'm glad someone started making this conversion kit..
Exactly what I was looking for, I'm getting 3 Wolfbox G900 soon and I want to fit them directly without the flimsy straps. One for my Suzuki Carry 1999, one for my Chevrolet Spark 2019 and one for my wife's Hyundai Venue 2022.
Thanks for making this video 😊
You're welcome! And remember I put the links to the kit in the video description and here is my G900 review video ua-cam.com/video/eNK6ujrWWkA/v-deo.html where you will also find a discount code when you are ready for your G900s Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun already saved up, going to order in a few weeks.
Thanks for your help 😊
@@thepab3072 You're welcome!
You are the man!! I recently bought a Pelsee P12 Pro but aside from it not looking nice when strapped, the extra weight was too much for the stock mirror to handle and i had to keep adjusting it while driving smh.
This is perfect 💯
Thanks Dennis, glad to hear it helped1, Cheers!
Well done. Great details and user tips. Very thorough.
Thank you Stagehand!
I have 7 vehicles with rear view mirror dash cams, Didnt know anyone made adapters. This is great, I'll have to get a few kits. Hopefully this will remove the annoying vibration issues with the strap design.
😄😁😆😅🤣😂
Thank you. I just got the WB850 and prefer to use a mountuing kit. not available right now but at least I have this link. great video and thanks again
You're welcome Matt! I'm assuming you mean the G850? if so, it is available, here is the link for it amzn.to/3vR80cU Cheers!
Very excellent and detailed video. Kudos to you👏👏👏
Thank you C Rumble! I appreciate that! 🍻
Alex as always you are so professional and to the point for the questions we have. I would like to buy the vantop with the conversion kit for my 2010 tacoma. I hope the adaptor is the most common type. please let me know what to order if you know for sure. Thank you Alex, I really enjoy your videos.
Thanks Hank! Ah yes I placed links in the description for all the kits including Vantop. hope this helps and thanks for watching!
Wow you are the best dude. Been watching you for a while thanks for the details :)
Thank you Emanuel, Cheers!
Cool deal… I just received my Wolfbox 840… happy to see this in my recommended- I was gonna “Jerry Rig” a wrecking yard stock mirror- now I won’t have to do that 👍
Nice! Congrats on your new mirror dash cam, I personally can't go back to a regular mirror now! lol Cheers!
Superb channel, this is what makes UA-cam great. Consider branching out into car head units
Thank you ilishmaach! Ah I have a couple here ua-cam.com/play/PLMLNRyDJO83mZnetY2_OD9wCG3LIKyQL2.html if you want to check them out. Cheers!
Thanks for making this video, I have a mirror dash cam that I wanted to put in one of my cars but couldn’t do it because I didn’t have clearance to plug the wires into the top of the mirror (headliner starts coming down too low and I have no clearance).
With this kit I will have the clearance I need since it will just be the one mirror and can adjust the height.
You're welcome Spencer! glad to hear it helped (yeah I ran into that issue on a couple installs where the line is just too close to the cables) Cheers from California bud!
Thank you for another great video!! I have the Vantop 10" dashcam for my truck and I'mma buy this conversion kit so it looks more original. I have been looking for the Vantop 12" H612 or H612T for months so I can mount it on my Escalade and they've been sold out. I'll have to use the straps on that one because of the OnStar buttons built-into the factory mirror.
You're welcome canucha1985! ah yes for those types of mirror that have OnStar, garage openers or courtesy lights I think it makes sense to keep the original mirror installed..
It doesn’t work for the h612. Just tried doing it n the back of the h612 has an elevated back and the mounts for the rubber hooks are different.
@@poges2104 oh ok. Thank you for the heads up. I'll keep that in mind and maybe just stick with the original accessories for the h612 if I can ever find one.
You're a rock star, mate. Great info, great suggestions & great 'stache & logo. Many thanks & keep at it...
Thank you Bud!
I forgot to add your sound effects are the icing on the cake 😂 Priceless...

LOL! Thanks!@@ThreadStalker
Thank you for this extremely useful video.
You're welcome friend!
Thank you so much for this video. this is what im looking for. i learn a lot from this bro. ty
You're welcome Rodel,Cheers Bud!
wow thanks for sharing - I made something similar for myself with the added ability to flip the mirror 12 degrees like a car's normal night/day mode. Wish ANSHILONG would add that to their mounts.
You're welcome Kidicarus and yes that is a very cool idea!
I don't know if you remember that I told you & other of your videos that I bought the fitcamx that your review before... & with this video, now I will make it way better than now.. Bc the mirrors shake a little with the vibration of the car... Thanks bro
You're welcome Carlos! Yes I remember I you mention that bud! the conversion should help with the vibrations, this thing is solid as a rock now lol
@@AlexAutoFun thanks bro.. By the way.. You had Instagram...?

I learned something new @ 2:17. Thanks!
You're welcome Danny, glad to hear it helped, Cheers!
Your backplate video is very helpful. You indicated you had info about correct backplate for cams you reviewed.
Would appreciate info on where to purchase correct backplate for Nexigo D90 mirror cam or at least correct strap screw
hole distances for plate. Thank you
Thank you taratara dan! Unfortunately there is no kit yet for the Nexigo D90 that is an exact match. Some viewers have mentioned they used this one amzn.to/3INf2TI since it's super close in terms of size. I ordered one to test it out and will let you know once it gets here if it does work or if I find an exact fit for the Nexigo (I'm adding more kits to the video description as I find them) Hope this helps and stayed tuned!
Thanks for a fantastic video.
You're welcome Lou!
Thanks this was a great informative article 👍🏿
You're welcome Rob!
Top notch video. Thanks
You're welcome and thank you Walter!
Hi Alex, I just purchase this WOLFBOX G930 4K 10" Rear View Mirror Camera. I don't see you have reviewed this on your comments or your video, but I will do my research on to measure the holds in the back and see if I find a bracket that will fit this unit. thanks your video is fully informational to adapt the new bracket instead of using the straps.
Hi Juan! Ah yes the G930, unfortunately I have not reviewed it so I'm not sure what kit will fit, however you can measure the back of the dash cam as I showed in video to determine the kit size. And If I do get a hold of one, I will measure it for you and update this comment. Hope this helps and congrats on your new dash cam, I personally can't go back to a regular mirror now. Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun I will let you know once I'll get the measurements 👍
Thank You for this information...
You're welcome Darrell!
@AlexAutoFun. Thank you for the very useful info. I have added an OEM rear view mirror to my Mercedes Sprinter cargo van to attach a Wolfbox G900 camera. However, the overhead console blocks the front-facing camera completely. Do you know if there are longer arms or arm extensions available that I can bring the mirror (and the front-facing camera) lower to clear the overhead console that is blocking its view? Thank you very much for your help.
Hi Tat! For those cases you would want a dash cam with detached cameras so they can be positioned away from any obstacles. Here are some good choices that have feature ua-cam.com/video/zEvk-2z_zQY/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/JJKbUu_egiE/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/dVcfFVLCXbY/v-deo.html Cheers!
Do you know if the USA 2015-2023 mustang needs any adaptor bracket for the mirror?
Thanks Alex! Great video! What about for Mazda cars? Is there out there any kind of adapter in the market?
You're welcome Luis! The normal mirror windshield tab is used on most cars however to confirm I always remove the mirror on the car before starting the conversion to check the mounting tab (I also placed links to specialty adapters in the video description) The other way It's done when dealing with a non standard mounting tab where I don't want to use an adapter is I remove the tab all together from the windshield and install a standard tab (link to the tab and windshield adhesive in the video description) Hope this helps, Cheers!
Wow actually at work with this ,subed
Welcome to the Channel Nathan! 😎
Thank you sir , happy holidays 🥳.
Great video, a lot of great information. Thanks! Do you or does anyone know where an adapter for a ford can be found? It is a hexagon shape, similar looking to adapter 2, but I don't think exactly the same.
Thanks yeskii! glad to hear it helped! it may adapter #2 as you pointed out, if you look a the kit is shows the Ford one amzn.to/3xKFlqt it looks just like adapter #2 I showed on this video. Hope this helps, Cheers!
You did a very good job and I do like the slicker version of this. I just bought one that has a rear view and the front view a record review and a front view but it doesn’t have that bracket on it. It has a whole bunch of rubber on the inside that goes from the bottom to the top And I don’t wanna mess it up by peeling it off. What do you think I should do by the screws up under there because it’s a ADDKEY add Chi front and rear touch mirror. I love you thank you for your information very great content. I love it and you just help me out a lot but let me know what you think about the screws are they under or if you find it on the Internet and you look it up please let me know. I don’t wanna damage it before. I put it on the mirror and have it scratch up anything. Thank you sir.
Thank you Lamar! Ah yes I seen that in a couple mirror dashcams. What I do, I use a hair drier on low to warm up the pads carefully (to avoid burning or melting anything), this lets the glue releases so the can be peeled off easily, If I don't find screw holes in the back then most of the time I can just re-stick the pad. I have not reviewed the Addkey, so I'm not sure what kit will fit, however you can measure the back of the dash cam as I showed in the video to determine the kit size. And If I do get a hold of one, I will measure it for you and update this comment. Hope this helps, Cheers!
Nice presentation Bro. 🍻
Thanks Man! 🍻
Hello Alex, Great video!!! I have a Jomse G814. Do you have any recommendations for this type of dashcam?
Thank you Michael! Ah yes the Jomise G814, unfortunately I have not reviewed it so I'm not sure what kit will fit, however you can measure the back of the dash cam as I showed in video to determine the kit size. And If I do get a hold of one, I will measure it for you and update this comment. Hope this helps, Cheers
Great orientation.
Thank you Mc Intyre!
I'm curious if you will be reviewing the new Rydeen Tombo 360 dash cam. It has some very awesome features that I haven't seen in other dashcam mirrors. Two of my favorite features are the radar sensor to record people getting close to the vehicle, and automatic screen dimming.
Hi Hammer! I may have to add it to the list of reviews, but as far I understand the radar sensors are for parking not for triggering the dash cam, but I will definitely take another look (By the way, you didn't hear it from me, but I got another dash cam review coming that is going to take the concept of the Rydeen Tombo 360 to a whole new level, that's all I can say right now lol) stay tuned bud!
Will this mirror bracket will fit on a rav4 2010, I really like it instead of the straps. Clean look is better. Will I need any other adapters? Thanks for sharing your video.
Hi Moises! I show how to tell which adapter you will need at the 5:40 mark. Another to double check would be to compare the adapters I showed to the one that is currently on your car. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!
Hi Alex, great vid and solves the problem 8n my 2011 Land Rover Defender Puma. So… is there a converter existing for this really dated, weird and uniquely Land Rover attachment? There is a hole in the head lining, no attachment to the screen! Just asking, great vid though!
Thanks Subsyairsoft! Ah yes there are some specialty brackets for mirrors that attach to the headliner, I placed links to them in the description, some that are labeled with for different car brands but as long as the mount matches your current mount stuff, it should fit (some car brands share mounting system). So I would recommend matching the picture of the specialty mount you think will fit to what your current mount looks like to confirm. The other option is with this system ua-cam.com/video/cCpyHmiZqiY/v-deo.html if you are using a Rydeen. Cheers!
I got a new Wolfbox 840H, according to their website, they have 3 different bodies. Their newest one doesn't have any screws visible in the back. I was looking forward to using that mount linked in the desc.
Hi Andy! I have converted two G840H already with the kit (just received a 3rd one, may do a video on that showing it) However sometimes I do see small differences between product coming from the manufacturer directly vs Amazon (where I get all my stuff) that may be a possibility (but even within Amazon stock there could be different batches of the product). I didn't see on their site where it mentions 3 different bodies for the G840H, it does show the 3 models, the G840H, G840S and G880, but those are different dash cams, not sure if that is what you saw..
Men thanks for the video 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks Diego!
Hello! I just purchased the Redtiger T700 mirror cam and was wondering if you know of a mount that will fit this model? Doesn’t seem I can pull back any rubber on my mirror to expose screws. Thanks
Hi Nicolas! I have not tested the T700 mirror dash cam (may have to add to the list of dash cams to review) but you are correct, if there are not screw holes in the back the conversion kit will not work with it. Cheers!
I bought the Wolfbox G900 and have a 2024 Subaru Crosstrek.... not sure if the adapter you show in the link covers the 2024 model but can u confirm if the adapters will work with it or maybe send me a link of what will work ? thanks
Hi Bob! You can see illustrations of what the adapters look like at the 6:42 mark and what they look like in real life at the 7:52 mark. Their appearance is very distinct from each other. While it may be possible to identify the mounting tab by just looking thru the windshield (from the outside) I prefer to remove the the OEM mirror to double check if the mounting tab is a standard one or a specialty one (by comparing it to the examples show on this video). Cheers!
Smart man and thank you
Thank you and you're welcome!
Hi does this attachment allow to lower down the mirror a bit as my CAS is a zafira tourer which has a bulky rainsensor cover which prevents from getting a complete field of view. In this case what do you suggest
Hi Jinu, this is going to depend on the size of your current mirror arm, but normally the replacement arms are about the same size (and in a few cases longer) than the stock OEM arm. However while I have installed direct fit kits on cars with an OEM enclosure for ADAS and rain sensor (you can see pictures of this under the "Community" tab in my channel) if you are trying to avoid having it in the cameras field of view, the camera must be relocated quite a bit (more than what a direct fit can do). On those cases I recommend a detached mirror dash cam like this one ua-cam.com/video/JJKbUu_egiE/v-deo.html or ua-cam.com/video/zEvk-2z_zQY/v-deo.html which gives the installer more control over camera placement including avoiding any obstacle that may obstruct the camera view. And I have more mirror dash cam reviews on my channel in the playlist "Dash Cams Reviews" if you like to compare them. Hope this helps, Cheers!
Definitely a lot easier than how I did it. I plastic welded mine to the original housing 🤣 look good after welding, sanding, and painting. But was a ton of effort.
Hi Josh! Oh wow haven't heard about that method, interesting, I wonder if that would work for mirrors that don't have screw holes in the back. How solid did the mirror felt? And I'm assuming the mount kit you used was also plastic? allowing u to bond plastic to plastic (Some are aluminum) Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun I didn’t use a mount kit actually. I just attached the plastic mirror to the plastic dash cam using plastic rods, backed with stainless steel mesh. It’s actually super sturdy!
@joshbaker55 Man that is so clever, thanks for sharing 🍻
Hi Alex, good afternoon. Hope you are doing well. May I know what is the right mounting braket for Pelsee 10 Pro rear view camera. Thank you.
Hi Rene! I have not reviewed the Pelsee 10 Pro yet, so I'm not sure what kit will fit, however you can measure the back of the dash cam as I showed in video to determine the kit size. And If I do get a hold of one of one, I will measure it for you and update this comment, Cheers!
Hi! EXCELLENT VIDEOS!!!!!!! BUT, what is the BEST dashcam for my Toyota Corolla? I would like a MIRROR DASH CAM that is 4K. Any advice? You're awesome!!!!
Thank you John! Ah here is a great choice for that ua-cam.com/video/eNK6ujrWWkA/v-deo.html And I have more mirror dash cam reviews on my channel in the playlist "Dash Cams Reviews" if you like to compare them. Cheers!
With all the extra holders etc, is it the same weight irregardless or does removing the OEM mirror make it much lighter?
Hi! Correct, removing the original mirror makes it much lighter than stacking the LCD mirror dash cam on top of the OEM mirror. Cheers!
Hey Alex I recently found your channel and I bought the wolf box 850 along with the hardwire kit and the universal conversion kit. Unfortunately my mirror bracket is one of the “special” ones lol😂 if I buy the mirror bracket for Honda that you linked in the description will I be able to mount my mirror? Muchas gracias Alex están muy chidos tus videos!
Thank you Jose! Ah there are a couple ways it could be done if your mount is the special Honda type (I usually double check the type by removing the original mirror to confirm) One would be with an adapter kit like this one amzn.to/3xKFlqt or with this kit amzn.to/49Q4lhp (assuming your bracket has been confirmed to be one of the odd ones) or finally the other way would be to have the installer swap the specialty bracket with a standard one (I placed links to the standard bracket and adhesive on the video description). Saludos Amigo!
Great video! Have you tried any of these conversion kits on the Rexing series of mirror dash cams?
Thank you! Ah regarding Rexing, I reviewed their M3 dash cam but it does not support conversion. However if you have a different Rexing dash cam you can measure the back of the dash cam as I showed in the original video here ua-cam.com/video/TtjZ7rC_ncY/v-deo.html to determine the kit size. Hope this helps, Cheers!
Hi there ALEX. Thank you for the time doing reviews like this. I’m planning on buying Vantop H612T rear view mirror dash cam but, I would like to know what kind of convention kit I can use and where to buy it. I already subscribed to your channel. Please give me a head’s up once you have the info: good luck to your upcoming videos.
You're welcome Louie! here you go amzn.to/3r9ryH5 and welcome to the channel bud!
Do any of these mirror dash cams have auto dimming mirrors? Only downside i see if i did this for my wrangler would be that i would lose my auto dimming feature on the mirror and side mirrors without the sensor and capability to do so.
Hi drugigger! Correct, Mirror Dashcams do not feature auto dimming. This is due to the mirror being an LCD screen when turned on, so you don't get your eyes blinded by the headlights from rear vehicles since what your are seeing is not a real reflection, what you are seeing on the screen is what the rear camera is seeing (assuming the mirror is used with the LCD screen on and the mirror is not aimed at your eyes since the screen is still reflective). Cheers!
A little off topic, but have you found a dash cam that does 1080x1920 @ 60fps on the rear view camera? I ended up going with the Urvolax w/ the OEM style mirror bracket for 250.00 usd off of amazon, since it seems like the best price for features, size, and quality. It has 2 detached cameras from the mirror, 1920x1080 60fps front camera, and 1920x1080 30fps rear camera, but I keep mine in rear view mode 100% of the time, but the laggy 30fps from the rear view is disappointing. I didn't see any that did 60fps rear even if the front camera was a higher resolution, but your video reviews of the different mirror dash cam's on the market helped me make an informed choice and gave me a good idea of what features I should look for. Keep up the vids, your channel will grow for sure since you are one of the few people who do videos on lesser known car accessories.
Hi ZXR! yes I'm currently testing a dashcam that claims to be able to support high frame rate for both front and rear cameras. However it is not a mirror dash cam, for mirror dash cams most are at 24/25 fps and a few like the one you got are able to hit 30fps. But I will keep an eye out for a mirror dash cam that can do high frame rate, I'm sure at some point in the future we will see one. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!
Thanks!
You're welcome my friend and thanks for supporting the channel! 😎
Great video. I have several questions. I have a 2018 Toyota Sequoia TRD Sport 1. What mirror would you recommend as a replacement for my factory backup mirror 2. What mounting kit would I need? 3. can it connect to an existing factory backup camera?
Hi Don! It comes down to what you are looking for in a mirror dashcam. I run different ones on my cars so what I usually tell people looking for the right dash cam for them is to start by picking how many cameras does it need to have (2 or 3). Now that you have narrowed your selections, consider how much you want to spend on one, that will narrow your choices even further. Then consider any special features you are looking for such as 360° video, Side Camera, Detached Cameras, Wi-Fi, BSM support, Auto Brightness, Back up to SSD, Parking monitor without hardwire Etc. Finally you would want to compare video quality of your final choices. And I just began working on a video to compare my top picks for different categories, Stay tuned, Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun Thanks for the swift reply. In all honesty, I just want a better view of the rearview. I don't need all the bells and whistles.
@@Don-gm2um You're welcome Don, ah ok here is good choice ua-cam.com/video/7UbJk32_k5Y/v-deo.html Cheers!
Hey what if my metal button fell off? What adhesive do you recommend to use for the windshield that is heat resistant so the sun won’t knock it down again?
Hi Maximum! Ah yes I placed the link to the adhesive in the video description. Cheers!
I'd like to change out my 2013 GLK350 mirror, but am concerned about the wiring. It's not the smartest that Merc makes . It only has auto dim I think. Should I just rip it out?
I'm new to this and found you here.
Love your content
Thank you Bob! ah yes that is one downsize of going with a direct mount. Here is a video where I show how I deleted a mirror that had wiring for it ua-cam.com/video/44WXN8MI66o/v-deo.html (on-star and other functions) Hope this helps!
I have a circle mount similar to that Audi but it is octagon shaped. I have Corvette C6. The adapter I bought won't fit. Is there an adapter I can buy separately?
Hi Frank! I show how to tell which adapter you will need at the 5:40 mark and you can also see what they look like so you can compare to the one on your car. I also placed links to the specialty adapters in the video description. Cheers!
Hey Alex, I tried your link, but the strapless mount is not available anymore for Wolfbox G480h. Do you have any other recommendations? Also my mirror does not have the screw holes that the old G480h did so I have to go with straps. I need something solid because my mirror keeps drooping down specially in hot temperatures.
Hi Ray 167! I just checked and it shows in stock. They do sell out fast every time they bring more which it probably why it may have showed not there earlier. Regarding using the kit on a dash cam that does not have screw holes in the back, the conversion kit will not work without modification (I had some viewers open their dash cams and drill holes to be able to install them with the direct mount kit) which as you can imagine is probably not ideal (but I may make a video on that custom mod). Hope this helps and thanks for watching bud!
Another great video! I think you have reviewed the Wolfbox G880 and G700. If you have time to check, could either of them be mounted as you described, without the straps? Best wishes.
Thank you Luke! ah yes regarding the G700 and G800, unfortunately they do not have screw holes in the back, so the conversion kit will not work with it. Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun That helps very much. Thank you! :)
@@lukewadel3675 You're welcome!
Great video again man thank you so much but the wolfbox G840H is no longer available any other ones you think could fit?
Thanks Alan! yeah I notice they sell out as soon as they bring more in, must be a combination of the supply chain issues we are seeing and maybe some folks that have the item on their wishlist jumping on them as soon as they bring more, just keep an eye on them. Hopefully they will increase production of this adapters soon (but kind of like everything right now, I know we may not have much choice but wait till the factories return to normal production capacities ugh)...
@@AlexAutoFun thank you and thanks for the fast response keep up the good videos
Thank you Alan! also check out the bracket for the G840H! they just got more in! I would hop on it before they are gone again here it is amzn.to/3INf2TI Cheers bud!
The one he keeps posting for the G840H is for the G840S.. there are no screw holes hidden or otherwise on back of the G840H
@Joshua Mietzner Hi Joshua! I have converted two G840H already with the kit. I just received a 3rd one here is the video showing the conversion ua-cam.com/video/ns_2C-ph2no/v-deo.html However sometimes I do see small differences between product coming from the manufacturer directly vs Amazon (where I get all my stuff) that may be a possibility (but even within Amazon there could be different batches of the product). Hope this helps, Cheers!

Hello, I’m trying to convert a KQQ mirror dash cam but when I remove the rubber cover, no screws are visible. I’m afraid I’ll break the strap holder clip piece if I force it off. Do you know how I would go about removing what’s needed to expose where the screws are? My mirror dash cam is like the one on this video, camera on one end of it, but no screws easy to access. Thank you for any advice you might have.
Hi Barbara! Unfortunately the direct mount conversion kit will not work if the mirror dash cam does not have screw holes. Cheers!
Alex, I have a vantop 612 that I thought was having display problems until I realized I accidently turned on the screen savor. It took me a week to figure it out.
My question on the dash mirrors that are permanently mounted how do you access the reset switch?
Hi Harry! Ah interesting, some kits have a hole or a space so the reset button can still be accessed without removing the kit, however because most of this kits are universal, it is possible the reset hole could be obstructed and will require the kit to be removed to access the reset button. Alternatively, the kit could be modified to add clearance for the reset button (you can see on my follow up video ua-cam.com/video/fveZiDofnxg/v-deo.html how I drill into this kits to add additional holes) Hope this helps, Cheers!
Hey AutoFun! Thanks for your highly informative video. I am thinking of converting mine here. We have the same mirror dashcam (VanTop), btw, do you know of any mirror bracket to use for my 2021 Toyota Highlander? Please send a link if you have. 😊😊
You're welcome Michael! Regarding the mirror adapter, you can see illustrations of what they look at the 6:42 mark, what they look like in real life at the 7:52 mark. Their appearance is very distinct from each other. Additionally I placed links in the description to them including specialty adapters if you want to see more pictures of them so you can match them to the one on you car. Hope this helps, Cheers!

So I bought one of these. It works but the power, rear cam, & gps connectors hit the edge of the ceiling then when I hit a bump it loses power.
Is there a kit with a longer arm?
Hi BradK! good suggestion, I try to measure the length on the different kits I got, see if there are same or slightly different. Cheers!
if ur wondering what mounting type your mirror has.. just check for a replacement original mirror online and inspect the mounting type from the pictures :)
That is a great tip Dellins! thanks for sharing!
