Has anyone installed these dashcams in a 718? I'd really love to see pics of the installs if you have.

I have installed the DR900 dual channel. I am pretty pleased with the unit, although you have to pay special attention to the rear hatch fitment. The clips are easily miss-aligned. Below some pics (if I can get it to work).

I had the Blackvue 650S installed in my Boxster. The camera fits neatly behind the rear-view mirror and is invisible from the driver's seat. The wires are all behind the trim and the control box for the parking mode and battery control is fixed in the glove box.

The install was included in the price (no discount though?). The dealer was an expert in European cars, and recommended by Porsche.

I went with the Q800 Pro, but that was before the U1000 was available. Happy so far. Rear camera was a struggle and I think I induced a rattle back there somewhere. I’ll try and grab some pictures.

@JakiChan I installed the DR900S on the driver's side and it is well out of the way. The wire was easy to run behind the windshield trim and doorsill back behind the seat and plugs into the socket on the console. However, I am considering moving it to the passenger side. I have the Memory Pro module from when I had the camera in my 981 but have never installed it. One of these days...

@GregW How is the control fixed in the glove box and what is it plugged in to? This sounds like an ideal location rather than tapping into the fuse box which I am a little hesitant to do.

The power is tapped into the passenger side fuse box and the wires run into the glove box. The Power Magic Pro box is fitted in the glove box with double sided tape (the good stuff). When the parking mode is turned on the PMP box ensures that the battery won't go flat by cutting off the recording at a (selectable) voltage level.
