Porsche's Own brand Dashcam Questions

Just looked at Porsche T equipment site for the Dash cam cost…. £786 for the camera and £63 for the 64GB card. What an absolute rip off. Have Garmin 66W cameras in our cars and just ordered a 67W from Halfords (current offer) for £150, it comes with a 16GB card but we already use High Endurance 64GB cards which are £10. Extremely simple with no tech issues, even old people can use it and the video quality is excellent. Takes under 30 mins to self install. Don’t mind spending money but doesn’t sound like it’s even a decent operating unit, just for the Porsche badge Nooo

30 mins for a front/rear hard wired install - don’t think so!

No, just the front as over 90% of issues are right in front of you..

In this day and age I’d recommend a rear camera too

Think some people on here like me, went for the Porsche option purely because of wiring/warranty considerations. I’d have rather a different front/rear dash, but because of convenience and warranty, I went with the Porsche one. It definitely is a flaff though!!

I haven’t found this. Mine works seemlessy, certainly as good as a Blackvue. I just connect to the dashcam WiFi then either view or download the footage to my iPhone

Is there a limit of the number of clips to be shown on the apps for viewing?

I am using a 256GB card and it seems that only a week worth of footage (since reformatting the SD card) are shown on the apps.

Summary of some emails between myself and an OPC over last few weeks :-
Me - Could you quote for the supply and fit of a forward facing dashcam please.
OPC - Porsche now only supply front and rear dashcam - supply and fit - £975.00
Me - I don't really want a rear camera , if I buy the dual camera from Porsche Tequipment direct (£401.00) can you quote for fitting the front one only.
OPC - (try not to laugh) the workshop advise me that fitting the front camera only is something that they haven't tried before and unable to quote for fitting.
Me- if I get a qualified auto electrician to fit the Porsche dashcam will there be any warranty issues ?
OPC- If there was an electrical fault attributable to the fitting of the dashcam then it would not be covered.

Considering that my Macan is prewired I can't see any problems with fitting it.

Any comments ?
