    Blackvue DR550GW 2 channel in-car camera installation

    Right then folks, the long awaited install steps. First off, pop the large lens from the upper interior lighting cluster near the rear view mirror, followed by popping the trim around the map light switches - careful as there maybe a short wire between the two items. Near the large round...
