Upgrade your Car Mirror With This! Wolfbox G900 Dash Cam Install

[@AlexAutoFun]

Hi Everybody! Here is my review for the G900 mirror dash cam shown on the video kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3-uZ6igp7yKoaM Cheers!

[@DTUFINOPhotography]

Thanks for this! i'm installing my g900 pro this Saturday. going to do the front camera first and figure out how to mount the rear external camera over the weekend as well.

[@AlexAutoFun]

You're welcome and congrats on your new dash cam!

[@KevinRodriguez-rp1rw]

Hello Alex I’m on my third Wolfbox Dash cam I had an 850 I had a G900 and now I have the G900 Pro this Dash cam is great . It has voice control , to switch from front to rear cameras you can tell it to take picture you can tell it to put on or off Wi-Fi is is fantastic and has a new Sony lenses. Don’t know if you tried it out yet but see if you can get one of those cause, I already have one and I love it. keep up the good work with your videos. I really enjoy them. Thank you.

[@AlexAutoFun]

Awesome Kevin! Thanks for sharing your experience with the new G900 Pro, I heard about it but haven't look into it, I will take a look, Cheers!

[@drrckhamilton]

Is the 900 pro really that much better than the 900? I'm looking to make a purchase, but the price is significantly less for the 900

[@AlexAutoFun]

@@drrckhamilton Hi D! Unfortunately I have not tested the G900 Pro so I can't comment on it's performance or it's features or how it compares to the G900. I will see if we can add it to the list of to review (list is getting longer by the day! LOL) Cheers!

[@drrckhamilton]

@AlexAutoFun Hey man, thanks for responding.

[@KevinRodriguez-rp1rw]

@@drrckhamilton yes I think so the Sony cameras are much better picture and the voice is great to have , now I only have one hand so part of voice is me. Now the price went up I got my on the 1st order but it you get the big package you will save 60.00 so it will be289.00 and they have a wheel spinning thing and you can save more on that good luck

[@VDUBR4LF]

Ty Alex for another amazing review Few questions if I may... Does this camera offer the option to replace the current mirror in lieu of using the straps? Does this camera offer wifi to be able to access a live view at anytime? Can the GPS module be placed in another location? Possibly glove box, trunk, or potentially another out of view spot? For the rear view camera, can it be mounted upside down, and the display would flip like it does on a cellphone landscape to portrait? Reason for this question is that my rear window is tinted and not thrilled about having to put 3m tape on it for the cam. However, I do have a 3rd brake light extended housing (2020 vw jetta) on the rear deck that I could either use the 3m or even the bracket to mount, but the camera would be mounting upside down. Many thanks in advance for your knowledge and expertise

Hi Alex. Thanks for all the great content. I have a 2019 mazda CX-5 and am curious if i will have problems installing a g900 or 900 pro ? Will i be able to power it to the existing connections of the factory mirror? Can you guide me to any installation or information videos? Thanks again. Keep up the good stuff !

[@AlexAutoFun]

You're welcome Sean! Ah as shown on the video, this mirror dash cam is a universal kit for all vehicle makes. And here is my direct mount conversion video kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqXNi2qoeMShmbs And my full install video kzbin.info/www/bejne/amW6iYFugq5pbNE Regarding powering it with a mirror power adapter, here is my video for that kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmG5kqOCbJWgbcU Cheers!

[@-PORK-CHOP-]

Great review, I like the wolfbox product, I would like them to just stick with a rectangular screen with 4k / 2.5K and get rid of the top entry cabling as it always looks messy, this can be achieved by either making it a mirror replacement not a silicon clip over type with rear entry cables that can be bundled and run as a single cable, or if clip on is still needed just move the top mounted connections to one side, I really don't like the messy cables coming out the top especially when there are three cables, for us with pickups and rear service bodies, just a 4K / 4K would be really nice because the service body blocks any rear view's from the interior mirror, another good feature would be a light sensor that auto dims the mirror at night as I find they are too bright at night.

[@AlexAutoFun]

Thanks P! Ah yes here my video showing how I eliminate the straps for direct mounting kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqXNi2qoeMShmbs And here are some good choices if you are looking for cables coming from the rear of the camera and direct fit (no straps) kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIaopHyPeqeJmc0 and kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZrUfopnh7B2j7c and kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5yVdniXmL2Nbck Cheers!

[@whtewolf8041]

Have you made the video about mounting the rear camera on the interior vs the exterior yet?

[@AlexAutoFun]

Hi W! Ah yes still in the works but it did get delayed while I'm doing additional experimentation that and some new dash cam technology that is coming out I think will change the how we look at rear cameras (working on this separately, can't say much yet but very impressive to see how far dash cam tech is coming along) Stay tuned, Cheers!

[@andlorkram]

nice and very helpful and can you do a segment how to do hard-wire dash cam

[@AlexAutoFun]

Thanks Andlor! Ah yes here you go kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4vTamiEl7Ofo68 Cheers!

[@markdesmond2003]

Suggestions please for a hard wired rear view camera with no integrated front dash cam.

[@AlexAutoFun]

Hi M! Ah there is currently no rear dash cam only, what I seen installers do when someone wants rear only without a front camera, they install a front dash cam in the rear windshield of the vehicle. Cheers!

[@dave_bmr5489]

I stumbled across your video, which seems very useful. You seem very knowledgeable and trustworthy, so I was just wondering if you have any videos or advice for somebody like myself who is looking for parking cams (front and back) that don't require a hard installation. People keep hitting my vehicle while it's stationary (four people since November 2023!), so it's becoming extremely annoying to leave my car parked, as you can imagine.

[@AlexAutoFun]

Thank you Dave! Ah park monitoring without hardwire is a very option now. However here are two dash cams that have this ability kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4rLeZqgfpaihac and this one if you only need 1 channel kzbin.info/www/bejne/maWXcoiOg6yph80 Cheers!

[@hetavraval1312]

Hi Alex, I got the G900 after I watched your videos and I am kind of satisfied with the product overall. But do you think Wolfbox is planning to upgrade its software to include more features on the same model such as Wifi or adjustable reverse guidelines like 840H?

[@AlexAutoFun]

Hi Hetav! Ah I honestly don't know, while I think it does makes sense to sell one product that has every single feature included, based on what I seen in the industry, products are usually done to target specific markets (keeping features separate allowing for multiple price points and models). But I imagine that if there is enough demand for it (and the customer is willing to pay extra to have one dash cam with all the features included) it could happen. However I will tell you, one of the most recurring comments I get is regarding what the best budget dash cam lol But only time will tell, Cheers!

[@twospirits411]

Seems the G900 has been upgraded with the G900 Pro with better Sony sensors and wifi. It's showing up on Wolfbox's website for pre-order. I already have the G900 and love it but wish it had wifi to download videos instead of taking out the sdcard. The G900 Pro will be my next mirror cam to replace the G900.

[@Baharrii]

Can you do a comparison between all the models as it’s so hard to do it with the information available and have seen you have reviewed all the models. (930/900/850/840S/840H) TIA

[@AlexAutoFun]

Hi B! Ah that is a good suggestion, I have not tested the G840S or the G930 but I will see if we can add them to the list of to review (list is getting longer by the day! LOL) Cheers!

[@AlexAutoFun]

Hi R! Here is my video kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqXNi2qoeMShmbs where I show how to tell which adapter you will need at the 5:40 mark and you can also see what they look like so your installer can compare to the one on your vehicle. I also placed links to the specialty adapters in the video description. Cheers!

Hi. What route should I use to hide the cables in a convertible 2020 mustang?

[@AlexAutoFun]

Hi K! And here is my rear camera installation video showing both inside and outside installation kzbin.info/www/bejne/amW6iYFugq5pbNE with the inside being the shortest (and easiest in my opinion but this inside installation is not always possible on a convertible). Cheers!

[@kaylercj]

@AlexAutoFun Thanks for the reply. You should do a video on how to do it with a convertible since the front pillar is also different and I can't find a video explaining that haha. Thanks ahead for the good job with thses videos. They are very helpful.

[@AlexAutoFun]

@@kaylercj You're welcome! Yeah that may be a good idea, really the process is the same but instead of going by the A pillars I go by the lower floor trim (the trim that sits below the door on the vehicle, not the door itself) I'll see if we can add that video to the list of videos to make, stay tuned, Cheers!

[@AjG007]

Are there any issues related to the loss of depth perception and beliefs that vehicles are further away than they are?

[@AlexAutoFun]

Hi A! Ah yes mirror dash cams will change the perspective of objects due to their wide angle nature vs the narrow view provided by a normal mirror. If the perspective change bothers you, the dash cam can be used with the LCD panel off so it behaves similar to a normal mirror or you can use one of these ones kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJKtfpSXq5x5mLc or kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZrUfopnh7B2j7c both allow you to adjust between the wider and narrow view with their zoom function. And here is another video where I cover perspective change in more detail kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4G7q6NrhZZne6c And while I love mirror dash cam they are definitely not for everyone, the best way to experience the wide view (perspective change) of an LCD mirror before buying one, would be to test drive a C8, Polestar or a new Toyota or Lexus the higher end models come standard with an LCD mirror. Cheers!

Can you do a review on the new REXING M2-4 4-Channel Mirror Dash Cam, 12” Touch Screen, 1080p with GPS, it just came out

[@AlexAutoFun]

Hi S! Ah I will take a look (I'm currently have Rexing on my list, maybe the same dash cam you are referring to) Stay tuned, Cheers!

[@HectorAriasTech]

What you found any other camera with better rear camera then this G900? I like this camera but the rear camera is not so great compare to the front.

[@AlexAutoFun]

Hi H! Yeah unfortunately all dash cams are limited on their rear camera as far as performance (the front one being part of the dash cam outperforms a camera that is connected externally) Cheers!

[@GameOP890]

whats the view when reversing if the camera is inside?

[@AlexAutoFun]

Hi G! Ah here is what it would look like kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIGuhKCMl719eLc now remember each dashcam uses different lens degree so that will reduce or increase how much is captured in the field of view (some are more wide angle and some are more narrow) Cheers!

[@johnwilliamson9453]

How do you rate the G900, vs the others that you have reviewed?

[@AlexAutoFun]

Hi John! It's a very good dash cam, and it's Wolfbox flagship dashcam. That being said I like to say is that there is not such thing as the best dash cam. I think the best mirror dash cam (for you) depends on what you are looking for in a mirror dash cam. I run different ones on my cars so what I usually tell people looking for the right dash cam for them is to start by picking how many cameras does it need to have (2 or 3). Now that you have narrowed your selections, consider how much you want to spend on one, that will narrow your choices even further. Then consider any special features you are looking for such as 360° video, Side Camera, Blind Spot Warning, Backup to SSD, Parking monitor without hardwire, detached cameras, Etc. Finally you would want to compare video quality of your final choices. And I just began working on a video to compare my top picks for different categories, Stay tuned, Cheers!

[@zhenrhen]

[@cdr1c]

Hi Alex, I have a ToGuard digital rear view mirror, it comes with a front camera and I also wire it to my Sony rearview camera at the ruck above the plate. I found out that the rearview camera does not work when the temperature is too high. I am not sure which part went wrong. 1. Sometimes when I move the wire, the rearview image is back on display 2. The front camera at the mirror works perfectly fine but the rearview camera is not bought with the mirror, so idk if there is a compatibility issue (everything works fine in cooler weather). Would you mind sharing some thoughts on this issue with your professional perspective? Thank you.

[@AlexAutoFun]

Hi C! Unfortunately I have not tested the ToGuard mirror so I can't comment on how it works. I would recommend having your installer confirm the installation, I would also recommend contacting ToGuard for tech support and please keep us posted on your findings. Cheers!

​@sahildadwal2989 i have the Nextbase camera and I'm not happy with it. It runs off an app and it has been nothing but problems. It's hard to explain in a text. Plus when it records it's supposed to restart/loop on the sd card and just record over what's on there but it doesn't. It just won't record anymore. It tells me my sd card is full. With all the issues I've had with it I'm going to go ahead and buy this camera and give it a try. I did some research and apparently this camera is one of the top rated ones. Well I will see. I hope so cause it cost a pretty penny. I hope this helps you some.
