Re: NextBase Duo dashcam

My brother-in-law has the same dashcam mounted directly under the mirror. He has a bigger windscreen (Skoda Yeti) but I would have thought there are regulations about how much windscreen space can be obscured by such devices. I am not sure I would like it there anyway, legal or not.

Re: NextBase Duo dashcam

Hum, that is what I have thought! What size is the VW branded one? Ever considered just buying a kit with separate front and rear cameras or even mounting the front camera sensor within the mirror base? I may have to consider that now. The main problem is the mounting bracket size - just too big, e...

NextBase Duo dashcam

Has anyone fitted one of these? I got one before buying my Blue GT. It seems too big to fit behind the rear view mirror while still allowing clearance to detach from its mount.

Re: App Connect

You are way ahead of me here! How did you get hold of the coding?
The place I contacted was http://www.dmsautoservices.com/oem-appc ... droidauto/.
It was Saturday, so they have not had chance to reply yet.

Covering shiny bits on dashboard and steering wheel

Coming from a sombre, matt black dashboard and steering wheel on a Mk1 Fabia to shiny metallic-trimmed dashboard and steering wheel on a Blue GT, I find it a bit distracting. So I am looking for options to paint, vinyl-wrap or replace the shiny metallic trim. Any ideas? I imagine wrapping these smal...

Re: App Connect

Thanks for the reply, Dink. I have also contacted a place in Newport (Wales) who may be able to do the upgrade, if it is actually possible. Before buying the car, I had front and rear parking sensors installed. These appear graphically on the screen, so there are some upgrade possibilities. Did you ...

Re: App Connect

Glad this thread has been revived, hoping to have access to MirrorLink to view my phone's Sygic SatNav on the Composition Media display. I have just bought a Blue GT registered March 2017. There is nothing in the settings that refers to this. The system details are: 3Q0035820B Hardware: H30 Software...
