Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone has given any thought to whether or not the existing 4 cameras on the car can be used for dashcam purposes? I am seriously considering getting a dashcam but I don't like having wires exposed and visibility hampered by having something mounted on the windshield.
I figure, if the car already has 4 existing cameras which are already hardwired to the car's system / screen, how much work would it be and what would it take to allow the car's system to use the cameras as a recording device that can store on a USB stick or the onboard HDD? I'm sure I'm not the first person to think of this.... I'm guessing it would involving getting into the car's programming to find a way to do this...
It would be awesome if the car had this feature, and all future cars start incorporating this since there are so many people nowadays with dashcams. With the Infiniti's all around view, it would take 'dashcam' to a whole another level with 360 view of accidents if/when they happen!
Thoughts?
