Honestly so sick of my current cheap dash cam resetting every time I hit a pothole. Im driving a 2022 Chevy Equinox and the thing just constantly dies when I need it most, it is driving me up the wall! I really need something reliable that wont cost me an arm and a leg since I just dropped money on new tires for the winter here in Michigan. My logic was maybe getting a hardwired kit so I dont have to deal with the messy cig lighter cable anyway? Im looking to spend maybe 200 bucks max. Does anyone have a solid setup that fits well in an Equinox without blocking my view?

Honestly, grab a VIOFO A129 Plus Duo 2K Dash Cam. It handles potholes like a champ. Get the hardwire kit too, it cleans up that messy Equinox interior perfectly.

Yeah, hardwiring is definitely the way to go, especially with those Michigan roads shaking everything loose. I picked up a Thinkware F200 PRO 1080p Dash Cam for my ride. It feels way more solid than those cheap plastic ones. TL;DR: Grab this one and the hardwire kit. It hides behind the mirror, stays powered through the bumps, and records perfectly. Just make sure you get a decent high-endurance SD card too.

Just catching up on this thread. Honestly, I went with the Garmin Dash Cam Mini 2 1080p for my Equinox and it works well. It is tiny so it stays hidden behind the rearview mirror.
- Super reliable, never resets.
- Very easy to hardwire.
- No complaints after six months. Since you are in Michigan, the small size is perfect so it doesnt distract you during those snowy drives.
