Customer Ratings & Reviews

Idk what all of these good reviews are about. I’ve had a completely different experience after 6 months now. Directions were frustrating as per usual. Vague and just not helpful. The app which is required to view your content is enough to make you want to rip your hair out. Bad bad app. Of course a subscription is required.. even with a memory card. The content downloads to your app at completely randomly times.. not all of it though. You’ll get notifications over and over when random 2 second clips are downloaded.. no clue what that’s about. I’m super bummed I wasted my money on this thing.

This little camera packs a huge punch and set at a great price as well. Nice wide viewing and super crisp picture. I’m going to buy another for my other vehicle.

camera size is great. However, the reason for return was the connection cord . I did not realize the cord was so long and had to wrap all around the dashboard. looks unattractive. the ad online was misleading regarding installation.

Best purchase ever works like a charm this is the best thing ever

Top notch little camera.picture quality excellent.Highly recommend.

It is very good product which is easy to install and working well.

I got this thing in-store, but ordered my SD card online to go with it. I read through Garmin's official documentation, which says the cam supports up to 512 GB capacity. That's a lie. https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=OF98RhazrR4CS6lAzssmi9 The actual max size is 32 GB, since it must be formatted to FAT32 and if the card is greater than 32 GB, Windows won't format it to FAT32. https://www8.garmin.com/manuals/webhelp/GUID-8EFC497C-4031-46EE-AC26-B0AE4B3CE8BD/EN-US/Dash_Cam_Mini_2_OM_EN-US.pdf Lost about 60 bucks on the SD card that I can't use + shipping and handling because of their bad documentation. It looks like you *might* be able to format a 64 GB SD card to FAT32 format. It's supposed to format automatically, but mine didn't, even after power cycling and waiting maybe 20 minutes. https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=OOT840MVvr7yspMOhDunB6 Looks like you can use command prompt to format a card with more than 64 GB of capacity. https://www.diskinternals.com/partition-recovery/format-sd-card-fat32-windows-10/ I haven't tried it (yet), so I don't know if it's valid. As an end user of something that's supposed to be mostly plug and play, I'm surprised and disappointed by the amount of research I have to do to set this thing up. Got my replacement 32 GB card today, so I'll be trying that and updating this if the 32 GB card works by any means.

Easy installation no instructions needed, only 15mins to install

I would not recommend this product. Overpriced when it comes to video quality and device durability. The compact design is nice.

do it! small hidden easy 26 characters remaining

This is a great investment, I honestly have already used it multiple times just to save situations that might need it, it's much better than other ones and it so tiny you barely notice it. Vary good quality video too.

Farming has a good reputation. This camera, so far, seems to maintain the standard. I am a bit concerned, however, about the camera’s durability. It seems a little fragile.

Love this dashcam. This was the first one I’ve bought and it was very easy to set up and work.

The camera works. Do not plan on being able to connect via the Garmin Drive App. It will literally not let me connect whatsoever. The only way to tell if your camera is even recording is by seeing the red light, which indicates recording is happening. By a stroke of luck, I was able to connect in order to see where to position the camera on my windshield. I would not recommend this to anyone that doesnt have a device to plug into your phone to immediately view/export files. The app is so stressful.

Easy to use. Works very well. Small and unobtrusive.

One of the best dash I ever purchased I’m a truck driver and this is perfect

Works well. They should give more mounting options.

Works as advertised. App could be better but still works

this cam is great. small so people can't see it but it has a wide lens to capture a lot.

This Garmin Mini Dash 2 is not engineered to withstand being left hanging in the window and subjected to moderate ambient temperatures. It will not start unless I hold it in front of the vent for 10 minutes after being parked at work a half a day. This is March in the Buffalo area, so we're not talking the middle of Texas in the middle of the summer heat. What good is a dash cam you can't leave on the dash under normal circumstances? Garmin support is slow, telling me initially I should use a different USB cable. That's a ridiculous solution that doesn't work. Garmin support is now silent. The dash cam that I hard-wired into my last car was just a cheap no-name thing that never gave me problems. Purchased the Garmin for a new vehicle based on brand reputation and features. Very disappointed especially since Garmin had heat issues with their original Mini Dash Cam product. Bought this from another vendor but felt it important to share my experience where ever I can.
