Read my last post. Initially OP wanted to use the camera on his car as a dashcam. Now he's changed his tune and would like to see it implemented on future models.
Anybody turned their GT's camera into a dash cam?

Actually, I have no interest in a dashcam. I thought the discussion was interesting and I was spitballing about how the various devices and systems could be linked.

Yikes, my mistake. It seems I confused you with the OP starting at post #19, haha. Sorry about that.
No I'm not, I'm just pointing out (spitballing as it were) the car already has 95% of the hardware required, as do several other brands. Seems silly to rely on aftermarket devices in that case but obviously that's the most cost effective.

I wouldn't say that that's exactly the case. Especially if you're comparing it to a basic dashcam, which again, has the sensors/software built for emergency recordings, G-sensor/impact detection, motion detection, and time lapse. The camera/software in the CX-5 is not equipped for any of that. Thus, not only is it cost-effective, it is also the best option to just get a dashcam.

Trick question! You can*t see anything...it was dark!
Haha. I guess it was pretty dark.
