Dash cam compatible with 2016 Kia Sportage

[Nandon29]

Hello everyone! I want to get my hubby a good dash cam... preferably front and back. I’ve done a lot of research and can not find an answer that tells me what dash cams are compatible with our 2016 Kia Sportage.
Does anyone know?
Thanks in advance.!

there's nothing about your vehicle that should be a problem for any dashcam you choose, compatibility is not an issue

Dashcams don't really interface with your car, it is merely a job of choosing a model that do well with the available space on your windscreen.
Your Kia do seem to have the rear view mirror coming off the windscreen, and it have a little "island" with other sensors, and as far as i can tell no dotted area.
So you will probably have to mount what ever camera you choose off to one side on that "island" with the mirror and stuff.

In that case the wedge shaped cameras like Viofo and street guardian and other will probably make up the most stealthy install, just make sure you don't mount too close to top of windscreen or other so you cant slide the camera off its mount, you need 1/2 - 3/4 inch gap wiggle room.

you can browse this thread for ideas about how other people have mounted their cameras in cars with somewhat similar layout as you have to work with.

Where did you mount the camera? Post your pictures
