While I'm waiting on a replacement FitcamX since my original was DOA, it's been installed for two weeks and I've used lots of active cruise in that time without issue. So no, it doesn't seem to interfere with the active cruise camera.

Is active cruise the same as adaptive cruise? I thought that the SE does not have adaptive cruise control?

For 2023 SE - what model to choose?

When I click on the different types I dont see any change on the webpage or the pics.

Got my mini this week and this was my first part installed (after a stubby antenna).

Installation sucked, and I lost an SD card into the center speaker depths after it shot across the dash and bounced off the window, but the camera works pretty nicely and looks stock once you get it all tucked back together.

Any link to that antenna please?

I'm curious if anyone has any more thoughts on this dash cam. Right now I'm having a hard time deciding between it and something very small like the Garmin Mini 2 with the OBD-II cable. (Or maybe the Dongar Tech BMW adapter might work?) I've ordered plenty of things from Aliexpress over the years, but feeling like I should maybe go with something from a more established mfg.

What did you go with? I'm also looking at a Dongar but not sure if it will fit.

It depends on when the car was purchased / built. During the height of the pandemic, ACC was quietly dropped (to the surprise of many like myself).

I just tucked it under the roof liner. You can pry off the anthracite liner to get it all the way under. View attachment 16192

Thanks for the review. What's your thoughts after over a year of use? Would you still recommend it? Any issues?

Also in their website as well as on Aliexpress it says that if you buy front and rear it cannot take power from the mirror. Is that correct?

I just installed the FitcamX in my new '23. (front only) Super simple install to be honest. The only tricky part was trying to line up the intercept plug into the rain sensor. It is tight in there with the ACC camera just above it.

Model B for the 2023 too?
 
It's been couple years since first installs. Has anyone had any issues with the power from rain sensor option (planning on front only)? Worried about power draw and anything electrical when it comes to aftermarket stuff, especially once designed in China.

No issues, so far as I can tell, on my front/rear install. Going for over 2 years now.
