Hi, My name is Will and i'm new to the forum. I'm a bit of a car nut, i really like taking good care of my cars and doing fun projects and mods on them. One thing i was considering was installing a low profile dash cam in my dodge Challenger (its new, i'm protective!)
Like i mentioned, i live in Las Vegas. My wife and i keep our cars garaged when we're home, but my wife parks outside in direct sun for about 4 hours in the morning till the sun goes behind a building, and i park my Challenger at school in the lot during the day (full sun). Did i mention my car is black? I've got the windshield tinted, but i fear the Mobius will melt
Anyone have experience with the Mobius in the US - Southwest region where it gets 110+ outside regularly and even hotter in a black car?
I also have done a decent amount of research but theres not that much info except one thread on these forums about a capacitor? Will the battery explode on me? Will i need a capacitor? Does the capacitor fit inside the housing? i'm looking for lowest profile possible.
My plans are to take apart the dash and splice into the 12v lead for the cigarette lighter, then run a wire behind the dash, up the A pillar, across the roof to the center of the upper windshield and mount the camera behind the rear view mirror. I would have to splice the wire into the USB power wire, i've got tons of spares around to mess around with. I'd do the same with my wife's car as well.
I love picking up new hobbies and learning all i can about electronics. I'm out of school for the summer and this seems like a super fun project to keep me occupied! I just want to make sure i pick up the correct hardware.
Thanks! See you around the forum!
