" ...  I love how easy this Dashcam is to use and how it fastens to the windshield (with some double sticky tape (that is included), however, when it arrived, I peeled the protective layer off the little screen and there were numerous bubbles in the screen that I can't get rid of .  ...  "

comment
" ...  Appreciate that it came with a tool to help secure the cable around the windshield so it doesn't show and also like the cable clips. ... Cable was long enough to go around half of the windshield with some left over so it easily plugs into power supply. ... Very glad it came with that 2nd cord but would prefer having longer battery longevity.  ...  "
