Anyone use a dashcam in their Yaris? How do you have it rigged up? Any pictures?

I use a GoPro Hero 4 mounted ontop of the center cluster while driving, on top of having a dvr rearview mirror that records front and back while parked.

you should get one, it's good to get that peace of mind when your car is parked or when driving :) adds an extra eye witness

Did you run the wiring into the headliner? Did you use the existing cigarette lighter or wire up your own?
On my wife's car (she has a G1W too) we just ran the wiring into the headliner between the windshield and headliner, down the side of the seal of the passenger door, and into the cigarette lighter. Luckily her car has two outlets so we can charge phones and run the camera.

I have a G90 on my Yaris, however it's not working at the moment. The most difficult part was mounting the dashcam on the black dotted area behind the rearview mirror. I had to use gps dashboard plates adhesive.

G1W-C here, too. Great dashcam, cheap and easy to use. ucsmfu, the PMP catches walking past or just for driving?

I have installed a A118C dashcam from spytec. It's been on a few months and it's working great so far. I hardwired it and the mount is staying on strong. I'm planning on installing a rear cam as well because you never know.

catches everything, even when your car is turned off. It regulates car battery so it doesn't drain :)

I installed an A118 on my car a few weeks ago. I chose it because of the wide angle lens, it fits the Yaris well, and is less visible than others. Audio isn't great, but good enough to catch what a dashcam needs to catch. My idea of dashcams is you only want them to record the other guy, not you as much as possible. No point showing your insurance company your speedo or GPS and have them not cover you because you were doing 5kph over the limit when someone blew a red light.
Cheers.
