I just got a 23 CX-30 and want to install dashcams for the new car.
Normally I see people putting the wires inside the gap between the roof and the A pillar. This works if there is no airbags nearby. However, from the collision test video here https://www.iihs.org/ratings/vehicle/mazda/cx-30-4-door-suv/2020, it seems like that the covering panel of A pillar will pop out when a collision happens. If the cable is put inside the panel, the cable itself may pop out also and hurt driver/passengers.
Another headache is for the rear camera that usually requires a wire put into the top side panels. But CX30 has curtain airbags also.
So the only way for CX30 to have a dashcam is to buy those integrated ones? Amazon sells one at above $200 and it takes power from the electric port of the sunroof I believe. How is everyone dealing with this issue?
Look for a FitCamX to fit your car.
