Vantrue provided me with a P2 Thermal Dashcam for review.

It adds Apple CarPlay to older vehicles

I will be installing this system in a 1983 Chevy Pickup Truck.
It should be relatively easy to install the Exterior mounted Thermal Camera since I have decent access thru the firewall.

The Front Display weighs 473 gm including its mount. For reference, my 3d Gen iPhone SE weighs 167 gm.
