Hi guys, what cams people using in the new shape civics & where are you mounting ?

Thinkware F750 with rear camera option.

Sticky pad mounted on the passenger side about 4" down from the top of the windscreen and 1.5" to the left of the plastic housing behind the mirror, basically just where the edge of the wiper cuts across.

You can't see it sat normally in the drivers seat.

Hardwired it using the hardwire power lead to a self wired/crimped OEM connector into the option connector on the internal firebox. 12v constant for park mode and 12v switched on ignition to start normal continuous recording when moving. Tidy job, better than fuse splitters IMHO.
