Hyundai Grandeur GN7 Dash Cam Installation Review

Mirror Dash Cam: The Sleek Solution for Your Grandeur GN7

Many Hyundai Grandeur GN7 owners find the idea of mounting a traditional dash cam on the windshield less than ideal, either for aesthetic reasons or because they missed out on the factory-installed option. If this sounds like you, a mirror-type dash cam offers an excellent alternative. The FineVu LX5 POWER, in particular, stands out with its large 28.2cm screen. It mounts discreetly above the rearview mirror, keeping your windshield clear and maintaining the car's interior look. When dealing with safety equipment, choosing a brand with a solid reputation for technology and after-sales service is crucial. FineVu has a long history of providing reliable products.

The choice of rear camera can be important depending on your vehicle. The FineVu LX5 POWER is versatile, fitting sedans like the Grandeur GN7, SUVs, and even larger vehicles. For sedans, an internal rear camera is typically installed to blend seamlessly with the mirror's design, creating a cohesive look.

The FineVu LX5 POWER records in Full HD (1920x1080) for both front and rear cameras, ensuring clear footage of your drives. Its AUTO Night Vision feature automatically adjusts for differences in light, providing clear images even in dark tunnels or at night. Combined with a Sony image sensor and HDR technology, it captures details like distant license plates and road signs, which can be vital evidence in case of an accident.

Operation and Convenience

After installation, you can view front and rear footage directly on the mirror screen. The touch interface allows for easy control of functions like switching between front and rear views, adjusting recording settings, and positioning the rear camera. The front camera is integrated behind the mirror, offering a clean, factory-like appearance.

Grandeur GN7 Dash Cam Installation Process

Meticulous wiring is key to a professional dash cam installation. At Today's Car Seocho Branch, installers carefully connect the wiring and use TESA sound-absorbing tape to minimize any rattling noises during driving. The process involves routing cables neatly within the vehicle's interior, often utilizing the A-pillar for a hidden finish.

Installation Process:

1. Wiring Integration: The installer carefully connects the power and camera cables, ensuring they are routed discreetly behind panels and trim.
2. Sound Dampening: Exposed wires are wrapped with TESA sound-absorbing tape to prevent any buzzing or rattling noises.
3. Camera Mounting: The front camera is integrated with the mirror unit, and the rear camera is mounted in its designated position (typically near the license plate or upper rear window).
4. Testing and Adjustment: After installation, the system is tested, and camera angles are adjusted for optimal viewing.

The cost for this type of installation in Korea, including the FineVu LX5 POWER, typically ranges from 200,000 to 300,000 KRW (approximately $150-$220 USD). This price reflects the professional labor and the quality of the hardware.
