Are there any wireless dash cams? I hate all the wires.Updated 3 days ago

Many new dash cam users believe connecting the rear camera (and/or other cameras) to the front camera wirelessly should be an option, as they are unwilling to disassemble the interior of their vehicles when installing a 2+ channel system out of fear of damage or warranty issues. Some users also believe battery-operated dash cams should be an option because they don't want to occupy their vehicles' cigarette lighters or USB ports, while also not wanting to connect anything directly to the electrical system (such as tapping into the fuse box).

Unfortunately, there are currently no truly wireless dash cams on the market. While Garmin dash cams can be used to achieve a multi-channel setup where the cameras are synced up wirelessly, they will still need to be wired for power. Users would face issues if their dash cams were to be fully battery-operated, from users forgetting to charge their dash cams and missing important events, to missing crucial functions that exist when a dash cam is connected to the vehicle. Parking mode is a great example of this.

Using a trim tool during the installation makes this process easy and risk-free if done properly. We have several installation videos available which display this technique.
