Hi folks.

I have recently installed a dashcam in my MG ZS EV. The product is an official MG Accessory, available at dealerships. I was searching around for dashcams but the service guys said that warranty may be affected if you plug the dashcam into the fusebox( to enable parking mode). Since the warranty of the car is 5 years and mine is only 18 months old, did not want to risk it.

I asked the MG dealership about other options and they sent me the details of the new dashcam. The price was 13k( for front & back camera) and installation would come to Rs.1200(Total Cost - Rs 14,200). Was OK with it.

The installation was a half day affair.They did the final positioning with myself being present.

My car ( Exclusive variant) has a USB port on the overhead compartment , a provision for the dashcam.

The USB cable which came with the camera was very long( around 12m, for connecting to the 12 V socket). I bought a 25 cm USB to Type C cable from Amazon for Rs 350 and used that for the connection.
Including few pictures.

I have inserted a 256 GB SD card into the dashcam. It starts up with the car and the front & back pictures are visible on the screen. The camera is well hidden by the IRVM and only a small part is visible, so no screen distractions( though I have not driven at night since the instillation).

The support is via MG Dashcam app. MOSFET Technologies is the authorised service partner for the app. The videos are of good quality. Audio is supported. The app says parking mode is enabled but since the camera switches off along with the car, I dont think it is active.

Hope this is helpful for MG users looking for a dashcam.
