Firstly, although small it has a heft to it and feels well made, unlike the VanTrue which feels like it came out of a Christmas cracker. Installing it is very easy, the stickers are unobtrusive, and the thinness of the connection wires makes them very easy to hide. The standard kit comes with a 13ft long cable so no problem wiring front to rear. Set up is flawless and the app is excellent and deserves its very high rating. It was easy to connect both cameras to the app and they work well in conjunction. It might not come with as many bells and whistles as other brands and the camera resolution is not as high as others, but for its intended purpose it is more than enough. The constant power cable which plugs into the OBD II port gives full parking mode protection. The power cable is expensive for what it is but after the frustrations of the other brands I was happy to have such an easy plug and play installation. A 2 year manufacturers warranty comes as standard for further piece of mind. For anyone that finds the review articles fairly useless as they talk about all the features of the dash cams but no mention of reliability, I would fully recommend the Garmin range.

Does not take SD cards larger than 32GB. Didn't know this until I purchased a 128GB card that I had to downsize to 32GB.
No complaints overall.

However, you MUST CREATE AN ACCOUNT WITH GARMIN to use this product even though your phone connects directly to the dash cam (not via their servers). So to use a product you've purchased outright you need to provide Garmin with your personal data (such as name, email address etc and the app requires full location data - at least on iOS) - this alone means it's simply not suitable to use in many commercial environments and anyone privacy-conscious might wonder why Garmin require this information when you're not purchasing any ongoing services from Garmin.
The actual camera quality is excellent during the day, and acceptable at night (although there's definitely better on the market). However, the image is marred by a constant "GARMIN" logo on the video which you cannot disable (even though you can disable all other OSD options such as date/time, speed etc) - this is presumably because GARMIN want to advertise their products if you ever upload the video to social media, or submit it to TV shows etc... but, again, putting themselves above the customer and turning every customer who's paid for one of their devices into a unpaid billboard essentially.
These failings dilute what could have been an absolutely excellent, if not perfect, dash cam.




The camera did not arrive with an SD card in the box so you're gonna need to either buy a useless SD card 32GB in size or smaller just for the purpose, or you can alternatively forcibly format your SDXC card with FAT32 using a utility (I used guiformat, the GUI version of fat32format), so that you can boot the camera and update the firmware.
You'll then need to disconnect the camera from your computer and plug it into a USB power-only socket in order for it to finish updating, because the camera doesn't update when plugged into a PC and it won't update without power.
Once that's done, it still won't work.
So now you need to download the Garmin Drive app onto your phone, pair with the camera via bluetooth, then remove the SD/fake SD card, insert your SDXC card, and format the card from inside the app on the phone. Trying to format the card on the camera without the app will not work and it will spin forever.
To summarise: Garmin engineer to wake up next to horse's head.
Not reviewed: the actual camera, yet, because I wasted an entire afternoon on this.







I am very impressed with the added features, which I was unaware of, for instance the speed camera warning.
I travelled from Warrington to Hull, and back, along a stretch of "smart" motorway, and the warnings it gave were spot on as to where the active cameras were situated.
Another useful feature, when sat in unmoving traffic is that it warns you when the traffic begins to move.
It paired with my iPhone without a problem.
I have also wired it into my fuse-box using the Garmin parking mode cable, and this also works a treat.
Lastly, as I did not read the specs first I was pleasantly surprised how small and compact the camera is.
I would highly recommend this product.



I am using a class 10 memory card so this is not the fault




I have it tucked behind the rear view mirror and it has a full view of the road ahead


I ordered a new unit, was expecting a new unit.
I got a 'used' unit, even had a 'used' label on the packaging.
While it works and I have no issues, I'm not best pleased that it isn't new.
I could go to ebay and get a used unit a lot cheaper
