Full-Throttle

I wired up my Aurion Grande (Presara) auto dimming rear-view mirror today and installed a Novatek A118 HD dashcam. The rear-view mirror is the same type as in most late model Lexus models and the display dims to various different levels of brightness depending on the ambient light outside and if somebody has their headlights on behind you. Pretty cool thing to watch changing as it goes from crystal clear to a light blue colour depending on the light. The dashcam I bought from AliExpress and opted for one that not only had a good resolution but was also compact enough to stick to the front windscreen without the use of a suction cup mount. The unit is tucked away behind the rear-view mirror and can be hooked up to the 'AV IN' port of my aftermarket headunit (sadly my RCA cables were a little bit too short after going down the pillar and under the dash, but I plan on getting a joiner to make it reach). It comes with a little plastic piece which hides the wiring, similar to the one for the rear-view mirror and when mounted the lens just pokes past the dotted section in the middle of the windscreen, so it gives a very OEM-like appearance. Due to the reflection off the glass you can't even see it from the outside of the car unless you go right up to it, so I took these photos using a polarizing filter in order to actually see it, lol:
