Good point. Sometimes I wonder if it is a language translation issue when I see this type of writing on a box or instructional manual.

The original post rates 68 percent for text that resembles AI text; it is from a manufacturer, but is written as if it were from a reviewer or an ad campaign.

Nonetheless, as you stated, if I can't order it at the dealership, then I do not consider it an OEM product.
I have no dog in this fight, there is a big difference however between 'OE' and 'OEM'.
The former is exactly the same item that the vehicle manufacturer would use to build the vehicle with, the latter just indicates it's made by the parts manufacturer the vehicle maker uses as a supplier - it may have failed 'OE' quality checks, be manufactured using 'out of tolerance' tooling or even be an OE part intentionally made to a lower specification than the vehicle manufacturer requires for 'new build' i.e. replacement parts outside of warranty.

In short, if you want parts that would be used 'at build', then you want 'OE', if you want parts made by the same manufacturer (that may not be the same manufacturer that currently supplies the vehicle manufacturer) as used to build the vehicle, then 'OEM' is what you are looking for. The price difference is not always just a markup due to branding.
 
Something here isn't passing the sniff test. You say you've been researching this for a decade, and yet with a quick Google search, there's multiple companies you can find who sell OEM style dashcams.

What makes you say that Mangoal Tech is "the only manufacturer currently specializing in this specific style" given that this is clearly not true?

As far as I can tell, you work for Mangoal Tech, perhaps even creating the company, and this is a poor attempt at marketing your company's products. If anything, this is damaging your company's reputation IMO, and first impressions matter...
