The video in my dash cam proved that a red light runner totaled SUV. The first thing I added to the insurance replaced (2024 Corolla Cross) was to install a FITCAMX 4K dash cam. Easy 15 minute install, no modification of OEM wiring , Excellent Quality, Looks like OEM setup. Easy to pair to my iPhone using the vehicle's local Wi-Fi.

Love that this dashcam looks OEM and not some weird looking add-on. This dashcam does fit the 2024 Corolla Cross hybrids (S, SE, & XSE). One thing you should remember to do monthly; and that is to log in to the dashcam through the wifi connection to make sure the date and time are correct. I discovered the clock was off by one hour, and date was off by a year, when showing the dashcam to a friend. Installation took me approximately 20 minutes, as I took my time not to damage anything.

I ordered the item for Corolla Cross 2023. Got the HD2 model and doesn’t fit. Apparently it works for a Lexus. I’m out of the short return window. Money lost.

Installed this in about 5 minutes in my 2023 Toyota Corolla Cross. The quality of the video is exceptional. Easy to see license plate numbers and signage.It looks OEM and does not block your view.I am very happy with my purchase. Hopefully it lasts and doesn’t not develop any issues.

Dash cameras are essential for when you get into an accident or come across a crime. They can either prove your innocence or your guilt (if you were at fault). Having video evidence available can help with your insurance claim or to fight a lawsuit by someone who intentionally caused you to crash into them.I have had and installed several dashboard cameras for my family and I that were in the $150 range. Some worked well, but many are downright lousy (image quality especially!) My brother's car had a $200 one that kept freezing up after about a year. I got the Sienna 2022 XLE and came across the Fitcamx dash cam -- it caught my eye with ONE thing: It has an integrated OEM look as if it was made by Toyota itself. I liked it a lot.My dad bought the new Toyota Corolla Cross XLE and so I naturally got him the FitCamX too.INSTALLATIONInstallation was simple -- the front camera obtains its power source by tapping into the cable (via an included Y-Splitter) that feeds Toyota's Adaptive Cruise Control sensor. It did not appear to have any effect on the cruise control as it worked fine at highway speeds and in traffic. Toyota's cover is replaced with FitCamX's so the front camera can fit for an integrated look. No longer did I have to hook up any cables to the car's fuse box, have it take up one of the cigarette lighter ports, or mount the camera somewhere along the windshield.The rear camera's wiring piggy backs off the front's and is run along the ceiling, side door weather seals, and finally down to the rear window. The more advanced installers could further tuck the cables inside the panels for a cleaner, seamless look. Rear camera is NOT required for the front one to work. Likewise, you could mount it to record the inside cabin instead for ridesharing/Uber/Lyft/taxi drivers.The manufacturer provided a how-to video (on YouTube) that was quite helpful.FITRegarding which camera to get for your car, I suggest to first email FitCamX's customer service on their website (fitcamx.com) before purchasing one. In the case of my Sienna, if it had a digial rear-view mirror, it would require a special camera model or part.PROS- Excellent image quality (some degradation during night time) with a front 170-degree field-of-view (FOV)-- Front: 4K (3840x2160 pixels), Back: 1080p (1920x1080)-- Better than average night vision due in large part to the front lens' f/1.6 aperture--- The lower that number, the more light it can capture in darker environments-- Rear camera is a good f/2.0 with a 140-degree FOV-- I asked the manufacturer who makes their image sensor: Galaxy Core, a Chinese company- Can simultaneously record front and rear-- Automatically locks a recording from getting overwritten in the event of a collision. I did not get a chance to test this (and hope I never will)- Wires are neatly routed through the car's interior instead of using the cigarette lighter port-- Rear cable was sufficiently long enough for the Toyota Corolla Cross 2023 with plenty to spare-- Can be installed to only turn on when the car is started (or) to continue staying on while car is parked and off--- Done by tapping directly into the car's fuse box with an optional cable- Rated to operate in extreme temperatures: -4F to 185F (-20C to 85C)- WiFi function to view via the "FitCamX" smartphone app (Android and Apple iOS)-- Video clips downloadable to phone (but car must be on to supply power to the dash cam)-- Videos can be zoomed into for better visibility- Audio recording was decent-- Can be turned off for privacy or to comply with local laws via the app- 128gb microSD memory card included (support for up to 128GB)-- As card gets full, older, unlocked videos are overwritten-- Recommend SanDisk and Kingston brands. SanDisk Extreme series costs more, but has a lifetime warranty- Customer service was responsive, though communication was delayed by 12-24 hours in-between messages due to the company operating in ChinaCONS- No GPS built in to record place of collision and to log route- Once in a while, the recording could stop (this is common with many dashcams). A firmware update (after contacting the manufacturer about the problem) has fixed it- No manual on/off switch for when privacy is desired- When optional cable is connected to keep camera on when parked/car is off, there is only one recording mode available: when the G-Sensor detects a collision-- Some dash cams offer multiple modes: when motion is detected, time lapse, or continuously at a lower bitrate (to record longer but at lower image quality)- Lenses cannot be rotated to different angles in case you wanted to mount the camera upside down or sideways- Circular Polarizing Lens (CPL) Filter, though rarely ever found in most dash cams, was not included-- CPLs are generally used in photography to block out glares and reflections to produce sharper images. Having one for the dashcam can help with that, but that also can create poor images depending on camera angle and time of day- A bit on the pricey sideI did not get a chance to test out the collision detection feature both in parked and moving state and hope to never have to.CONCLUSIONThe integrated look of this dash cam looks... dashing (pun intended), and installation was pretty straight-forward. However, even though the cameras produced excellent videos -- even in low light -- I wished that a GPS was built-in, and that the cameras could easily be turned on/off for privacy. There was no other dash cam I found that looked like it was made by Toyota without costing an arm and a leg.
