Rear dashcam with automatic sunshade
Hi,
I just got a 2015 Audi A6 2.0T a couple months ago. I want to install 2 channel dashcam and still deciding between Blackvue DR750S-2CH or Thinkware F770-2CH.
For some reason I thought the rear sunshade was not going to be an issue, as on my friend's BMW F10 5 series, the sunshade still left a considerable gap to the top of rear window, leaving plenty of space above the sunshade for rear camera installation. So I just assumed my Audi is going to be the same, I thought I just need to install the camera beside the 3rd brake light.
Yesterday I get the sunshade up and realized the A6's sunshade is pretty tight, no way a camera can be installed above the sunshade (that said, A6 has a much better quality sunshade with dedicated rail and everything).
There is a gap in-between the shade and the window, but i'm not sure if the clearance is enough for the rear camera to stick there without interfering the sunshade operation.
Has anyone here with automatic sunshade installed rear dashcam successfully? I tried searching on this forum but i couldn't find one with rear dashcam installation on vehicle with rear automatic sunshade.
Thanks guys

Can you please let us know where you got power to the read cam from? I am planning on adding a rear one, but wondering where is the best place to get power from. My front camera is getting power from the Garage door buttons.

For my set up power comes from the front camera via a cable that runs between the two of them. It is tucked in along the headliner on the passengers side of the car. Originally we ran it down the drivers side but it was causing interference with the keyfob. If you are using a different camera I am not sure where you need to get power from.
