Why Upgrade Your BMW X3's Stock Dash Cam?
Many BMW X3 owners experience frequent issues with their factory-installed dash cams, often failing within 1-3 years. Replacing the stock unit can be surprisingly expensive, costing up to 1 million Korean Won. Furthermore, the complex electronics in BMW vehicles mean that a standalone dash cam installation can sometimes trigger warning lights, especially in winter, making a supplementary power pack almost essential. This was the case for one BMW X3 owner who sought a reliable solution from Ojunghcar Namyangju. After comparing options, they chose the FineVu LXQ600 dash cam paired with an E-Powerpack S8LCD, valuing its cost-effectiveness and stability.

At Ojunghcar Namyangju, we ensure a meticulous installation process to guarantee optimal performance and longevity for your new dash cam system.
- Safe Removal of Stock Unit: We carefully remove the original dash cam, using heat treatment to detach it without damaging the window tint. The old unit is returned to the owner, and all original wiring is neatly concealed.
