    I see the sticky pad, where will you attach it? Most people I've seen hide it behind the rear view mirror.....does it have aux input for a second mic, or for 12V power from the car so you don't need batteries?

    Locally, a young fellow had his cam mounted up behind his rear view mirror on his Lexus IFS, it was wired to be on anytime the ign was on. He took it in for service and got some interesting footage of the lot boy hooning around in his car, and meeting up with his homies down at the Quik Trip.

    He and the service manager came to an agreement shortly after, the lot boy went on to his next job somewhere else......

    The 2nd mic input is cool, it allows you to put a mic out by the exhaust or up under the dash so you can really hear the engine......

    That's an impressive amount of technology in such a small package. I like how the reviewer suggested that you not record your vehicle speed.

    Thanks for linking to Newegg. They deserve support for their principled stance against patent trolls. When threatened with a patent lawsuit, most companies simply look at their bottom line and pay a settlement to end the litigation. Newegg will not negotiate with these extortionists. In one case, Amazon had caved in for a $40 million settlement but Newegg stood their ground, took the patent troll to court and won: How Newegg crushed the “shopping cart” patent and saved online retail | Ars Technica
