Would you just try to tuck under carpets etc, rather than trying to lift the cills?

Thanks for the info. I will go back to the local garage and ask if they can do that. Cheers

Hi, The sills I assumed they could remove and hide cable are the ones that run along the doors (front to back) which cover the ends of the carpet. These are the one the garage are saying can't be removed - the mainline dealers did not say yes/no to this but said they would drop the headlining. Yes I'm not going to be paying £280 to the dealers for this work - I could even by another camera for than and have it standalone from the front camera. Cheers

I took this into the local franchise/dealership last week. They said that it would have to be the headlining and it would take 2 hours - £280 😭 Still not yet managed to find out how to remove the sills. Have to wonder why there's no a manufacturer who makes a wireless pair (front n rear), then the rear cam could just be wired into the power point in the boot.

Ok so this one fits nicely to the outer vents, but the ones in the middle must be a bit different. There's no enough clearance between the horizontal fins on the outside and the inner vertical fins. Has anyone bought a similar mount that fits on the two middle vents? Thanks £138.62 😭

Bought this one just now. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0858YRC6Z/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Thanks @Yogi-Bear and @skomaz Might give the vent option a go then. Had a MagSafe holder that clipped nicely in the CD player on my old car, but modern cars generally don't have CD players it seems - fair enough as I haven't played a CD in year 😁

Hi all, Does anyone have a phone mount they can recomend? Not looking to stick anything on the dashboard or shelf. My phone is 250 grams so anything fixed to the vents is probably going to put too much strain on them. Thanks 😁

Yes fair point about sills v roof. It's going in to the Skoda dealership next week so I might see if the mechanics know. Cheers

Hi, I recently had a dashcam fitted to my 2024 Kodiaq. The kit was front and read and the garage did the front without issues but did not tackle the back as they could not see how to route the cable. They said they could not see any way of getting the sills off as they all seemed in one piece. I said I would seek advice on here and go back to them 🤞 Has anyone on here routed a cable from the front to the rear and were there any issues/tips I can pass on? Thanks

That rings a bell, I'm sure I delivered papers to that in my yoof 😁 Move to New Earswick then Linton-on-Ouse before leaving. Cheers

Hi @silver1011 The early 20s salesman was good but he did waffle a bit on things he really didn't know for sure - salesman eh 😁 I see you're from York, which part can I ask? From there myself (Haxby) but left in my late 20s - long time ago. Fabulous city.

Thanks for the info @Baxlin. I'm going to tell the fitter to run along the floor and not go near the roof.

Thanks everyone for your responses. 👍 I went ahead and ordered the dashcam as all the reviews are good. Getting a local car electrics company to fit it for me and will pass on that info about staying low and using sills and carpet. A side question 🙂 The salesman told me the SD card was in the lower glove box but I can't see it or any mention of it in the manual. Was he giving me duff info? Thanks

Hi all, I'm going to get a new dashcam with a rear camera and wondered if anyone had experienced any issues with routing the cable from the rear view mirror to the tailgate window? This is the dashcam if anyone has used and has comments? Thanks https://viofo.com/dash-cam/291-viofo-a139-pro-2ch-first-4k-hdr-front-and-rear-dashcam-with-the-newest-sony-starvis-2-imx678-sensor.html
