Anybody install a dashcam from Mangoal or FitcamX? So, for the Fitcam, on their website, it states that it works for 20-24 Sierra 1500, 2500 and 3500 AT4 and Denalis...I have reached out to them and have not gotten an answer back.....I want to know if it will work on an SLT. I do have the forward cam for the adaptive cruise control....but do not have the rearview cam...i do have auto dimming. Anybody install one of these on an SLT?

 

Mangoal actually states for Pro, SLE, SLT and up...so I am curious if there is a difference.

I installed the Mangoal on my RST (no auto dimming) without any issues at all.  I had to use the included OBD port power cord which was the "hardest part" because of running the wire down to under the dash (which wasn't really hard at all).  Running the wire to the rear camera was also "hard" just in that it was cumbersome to pull weather stripping to access tucking the wire under the headliner, I did this along the passenger side.  There's plenty of wire for my crew cab, if I recall, I think I had 2 feet of slack or so which is just tucked into the headliner.

 

Picture quality is good... not great.  It would be nice if the lens was polarized to cut down on the glare/reflection of the dash in the windshield.

 

In a normal seating position, I can't see the camera at all behind the mirror and it looks very stock.

 

The SkyCamm app is also good... not great.  It does what it needs to do in terms of accessing the recordings.

I’ve bought cheap behind the rear view mirror dash cameras. My goal is for them to be seen. Running the trim line and under the dash hasn’t been a problem. For the price they’re a no brainer. I only had to point to it one time when a person was unhappy at me diving the speed limit. The next light he was expressing his displeasure. I rolled down the window and said smile your on camera. Shut him right down.

Thanks for the input. I went ahead and ordered the FitCamX version. While I fortunately have not been subjected to any road rage incidents, I live in a state where I personally thing we have some of the worst drivers out there. And i've had a few close calls. So I'd like to document them.

I'd honestly guess that these are both made in the same chinese factory now that I've taken the time to click around the link you provided for the FitCam.  I even saw that they have a polarizing lens option on their site... despite having the Mangoal, I'm going to order one and see if it works with mine - it should as it looks like it's held on with 2-sided tape around the existing lens which looks identical to what I have.

I went ahead and ordered the one from Fitcam...found a discount code on a youtube video that knocked off quite a bit, so got the front and rear setup for $201 shipped. Now just gotta wait on the slow boat from China.

I went with the fitcamx, it does look oem other than exposed sd card. Recommend the fuse box power kit. No boat ride, it airlined to Chicago customs. arrived fast.

Does it not plug right into the power at the mirror?

Depending on the trim line, there isn't a power source available up there.  For example, on my RST, I don't have the auto-dimming mirror.  My mangoal came with a power connecter to hit up the OBD port to tap power for it's constant power.

you should see a motion sensor taped down inside housing.  Fuse block wiring feeds it to activate recording if bumped into. Will it work?? I can see it power up just by closing door. The unit has no gps, so no display of speed like some other cams.

Posting this in case it comes up in someone's search results in the future.  I have the Mangoal setup and I ordered the FitcamX polarizing filter and it fits/works perfectly.  CPL-3345 was the part number.
