Default Radar detector with dashcam

Hi All,

Any recomendations for all in one radar and dashcam unit. I've tried cobra scout and it's so buggy and get stuck at startup.

Thanks

I was a longtime Valentine One fan. I had a fleet of cars running the old school breadbox ones, then upgraded to the skinnier ones, then finally got a V2. V2 has no GPS and relies on BT to your phone to get that data. This eliminates using BT for wireless audio to the headunit. Since then I have switched to the Uniden R7 platform which doesn't need a BT phone connection. Can lock out known false emitters on GPS so I don't have to get skull f*cked all day long with false alarms.

For the dashcam I just installed a FitcamX which looks more OEM than the Porsche OEM unit

Honestly I didn't even know there was such a combo. Never tried the Cobra detectors. I never had any interest in dash cams prior to this car bc they just looked tacky

Here is my Fitcamx front / rear camera system w/ direct wire fuse panel power cord and my Escort Redline 360c radar detector w/ BlendMount BMG-2021 mount w/ custom direct wire power cord installation on my Macan.

Thanks guys, it's a toss up between R7, R8 vs Redline.

Escort MaxCam 360C is the best combo detector out right now.

I Just purchased the Uniden R8 for my new 992.1, with a build date starting this Monday.

I did a ton of research and felt the R8 had more features contained within, rather than having to use a cell phone to use additional features.

2nd choice for me would have been the Valentine-V2.
