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?
So now you’re reverted to an immature attempt at crude humour. Seems I was at least partly right about the hand-holding, but hey, at least you know how to do a Google search! Good try little buddy, maybe you’ll get it right next time.
For anyone else who might actually be serious, my Reddit username is not the same as my forum username, but that shouldn’t matter much as there are dozens of guides available according to pina_koala.
Message unclear, user still pressed about it and writing me love letters deep in the comments
