Q: QuestionAdhesive mount is a deal breaker for me for several good reasons. Can I get a suction cup mount like the Garmin 20 had?

Asked 9 years ago by Trucker Bob.

• A:Answer Not right now, no. The standard suction cup mount we have for products doesn't provide the clearance needed; it will block the camera. I believe the adhesive mount was selected for the Dash Cam due to the use-case this product is intended for. During an accident, suction cup mounts may not hold, and dash friction mounts definitely won't stay in place. The adhesive mount was designed to allow for an unobstructed view while ensuring that in the event of an accident, the camera is much more likely to stay put. -JPK

Q: Questiondoes this camera record rear of veichle,and is battery replaceable,and does this come with a warenty, and does it come with a tf card?

Asked 9 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer The Dash Cam 30 is designed to record the front of the vehicle in case of an emergency. If you are interested in a device that will allow you to see behind the vehicle, I would recommend looking into the Garmin BC 30 wireless backup camera. The Dash Cam 30's battery is not user replaceable. The device does come with a one-year manufacturer's warranty, and repair service is available if outside of warranty. The Dash Cam 30 includes a 4 GB microSD card for recording video. -OA
