Folks,

I just had the OEM dashcams installed today. To enter into “parking” mode I had to further configure the cameras and the Taycan forum helped with the directions for the factory/dealer configuration (as the parking mode is not configurable on the normal app settings).

https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/porsche-dashcam-parking-mode.18923/

The front cam quality is amazing (the Porsche Dashcam app is beyond cr@p) … the back camera is meh…. I’ll speak to them tomorrow to see if there’s a way to improve the quality….. the good thing is that the cans integrate with some of the hardware in the car (sensors etc).

Here you are the picture quality of the front and back cameras. Front is great, back is awful at night. If anyone can help with any configuration for the pack cam please let me know!

Front first picture , back second picture.

Cheers!

I had the OEM Porsche Dash Kam installed. I admit the software attached to it is a little clunky and dated, but it works. I purposely do not keep my phone attached to the camera Wi-Fi as it inhibits Apple CarPlay. Seeing as how I would only access this video in the event of collision, it would be easy to connect to the camera Wi-Fi and retrieve it then.

Other than that, I like that it was easy to install and integrates with the vehicle systems. with its location under the rearview mirror it is also out of my line of site. I’m sure there are newer and higher resolution dash cams out there, but this was a breeze to install at the dealership with no trim removal.
