dash cam
I am wondering if anyone has installed a dash cam in HHR. I'm in Ca. with lots of laws. with all the "unique" drivers on road, I'd like to be able to record driver in front of me. Looking for way to install-any ideas?

I have used my note 3 's video capabilities when mounted on dash and aimed forward. As long as your memory card ( Note can take up to 64 gig) is up to the task and you keep on charger should work great!

Here in NC, devices such as Go-Pro cams are becoming quite prevalent, and I've recorded a few "Oh Bleep!" moments on mine thanks to fellow motorists. Our biggest issue is texting while driving, and it carries a decent fine, along with being a Primary Offense.
Unfortunately, South Carolina's new ban on texting while driving only carries a $25 fine, so it is just a slap on the wrist at best.

I have one, got it off ebay for $70. Its one with a fold down screen, I have it mounted right next to my mirror. It actually tucks up there quite nice and out of the way. I don't even notice it there unless I fold the screen down for some reason. This way if something happens I don't need to defend myself, video doesn't lie! LOL

Interesting, I try to keep abreast of the vehicle codes in all 50 states, and that prohibition escaped my attention.

I had to change links......the first URL produced an unrelated topic for whatever reason, even though it was copied for the page describing the topic.
The second one, which now appears, looks to be a better reference.
By the way, I knew about this law because my son-in-law, on a vacation trip to California, was using a lower center windshield mount GPS and received a ticket, which he paid....don't know the actual amount.
