Car and Driver - CDC-646 Dash Cam - Gray

I was looking forward to using this dash cam but quickly realized that It just wasn't quite worth the price. I had left the cam plugged in and charging overnight as it has a built in battery, but in the morning the battery still showed that it had no charge and would flash the red battery indicator. The dash cam would also not turn off even when I purposefully held down the power button hoping it would stay off. I didn't think the display was worth the space it took up on the windshield especially since it was not a touch screen display. I ended up returning this dash cam and going with F800 Thinkware dash cam & rear cam (sold separately). I definitely DO NOT recommend anyone purchase this product it appears more work was put into the cool than its ability to operate properly. I'm disappointed in Car & Driver for selling such a product. (I like their Cup Holder Bluetooth FM Transmitter -Works Great)

The instruction booklet is printed so small that I can hardly read it. Camera is supposed to come on automaticaly, but only does it about 80% of the time... expensive for what you get and complicated. I still cannot figure out how to play it back or why I needed a big SD card when it only records 3 minutes. I was hoping I could record my road trip, but can't figure out how. Instructions suck...you need a magnify glass to even read them. Guess they saved 50 cents on paper that way. The lane changing alert beeps all the time, even if you don't change lanes. Had to turn this feature off...

I like the screen size and that you can see that it's recording... supposedly! However, today we witnessed an accident and clicked the button to save the video! When we got home we put the SD card into our computer and found nothing but a bunch of videos that we hadn't chosen to save from November 2018! It seems as though once the card was full, it simply stopped saving video! So, make sure you check your settings or this thing is worthless! Also, it needs a longer record option like 10 minutes per loop instead of 3 but obviously that wouldn't have mattered in our situation anyway!

This is a nice dash cam, but since I have Subaru Forester I had to order a rear view mirror mount since nothing can be suctioned to the dash or windshield. Installation went very smoothly at Best Buy. Camera is good and will accept up a 128 gb SD card. The negatives: Red light around camera is annoying and makes it obvious. Supposedly it is to prevent theft but I think it invites it. Pricey considering other dash cams, however I got this one because I had a credit at Best Buy that covered much of the cost and it took a big SD card. I also like the larger screen.

I had replaced my thinkware F50 for this and so far so good. I haven’t really had it for that long to really give it 5 stars but again so far so good. I don’t really care so much for the LCD screen for any dash cam for that matter. The suction cup is cool because you can remove it and use it to any car unlike the F50 I had which left a little sticky mess on my windshield when I tried taking it off.

I’ve had many dash cameras over the years and this one is by far one of the best I’ve had. The night vision is so clear, that it looks better in the camera then with your own eyes. Yes seriously. I’m planning on buying 2 more for my other vehicles. Great great quality and amazing item. Even has line departure and crash warning

Camera has very nice picture but the red LED ring light in front just draws attention to the camera. You can turn it off but you have to turn it off every time you turn on the camera. The battery also does not hold a charge even after plugged in over night. For what it cost there has to be something better out there.

Great picture regardless of weather. Easy to setup and can move it around since its mounted with suction cup....a nice feature since truckers replace windshields often. Has an extremely long cord with an available USB port that comes in handy. Extremely satisfied with this product.
