Need a dash cam for my Chrysler 300 asap since I just got a scratch in a parking lot. Seen people suggest the Viofo A129 but others say it acts up with the 300's electrical system, which scares me. Budget is under 200 bucks. Does anyone know a model that actually plays nice with these cars?

> Seen people suggest the Viofo A129 but others say it acts up with the 300's electrical system Honestly, I tried the Viofo A129 Duo Dual Channel 1080p and had issues with it crashing constantly. Not reliable at all. You might wanna look at the Rove R2-4K 2160p 150-degree FOV instead. It is way more stable and doesnt mess with the car power. Kinda frustrating but it works way better than the Viofo.

- I agree, honestly just look at the BlackVue DR590X-1CH Full HD 60FPS instead. It is super stable for Chrysler electrical systems.

Honestly, after dealing with weird electrical glitches in my own sedan years back, I stick to Thinkware for everything now. In my experience, they handle the power draw much better than most budget options. Just grab any reliable front-facing unit from them and dont sweat the wiring too much. It saved me a huge headache when someone dinged my door last winter, seriously.

Had a moment to think about this more and honestly, you should check out the Garmin Dash Cam Mini 2 1080p 140-degree FOV. It is tiny and way more stable with sensitive electrical systems like the 300's.
- Super compact footprint
- Voice control works perfectly
- Solid cloud connectivity I have been running one for months with zero issues. Just make sure you use a high-endurance card to keep the bitrate stable and you'll be golden.
