Have realistic expectations in the app for a (now sub $100) inexpensive camera, but for me it was good enough. If I really need to tinker with videos on the SD card, I just take the card itself out and use a laptop. 1 other thing with the Tahoe being always on with regards to the 12V outlets, I added an ignition switched relay to change that. I didn't want the cam on all the time. https://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/threads/12v-outlets-always-on.141272/page-2#post-1878022

Dash cams are weird in that there are cheap ones that "work" (but the app/UI is unusably bad) or expensive ones ($500+) that work much better. I was looking for the sweet spot (4K front, app not absolutely terrible, but cheap enough that I can replace it if needed). I went through a few different ones and landed eventually on 3 of these. I paid ~$150 for them originally, but now they're $99 with a $20 digital coupon - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BL6N5LGS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 "

OMBAR Dash Cam Front and Rear 4K/2K/1080P+1080P 5G WiFi GPS, Dash Camera for Cars with 64G SD Card, Dual Dash Cam with WDR Night Vision, 24h Parking Mode,170°Wide, G-Sensor, Loop Recording, APP "​

I have them in 3 cars and 2 other family members cars, good insurance, but you'll need the extension cable to reach the rear windshield.

Thanks, I just ordered that one. Has a $20 coupon now so it’s $80. Also if you use the Amazon card it’s 7% cash back as well.

I’ll wait until I get the camera to see what accessories I need. Looks like I need a camera extension like you stated as well as a power feed because I don’t want to use a cig lighter for it. Already have a mirror tap for a radar detector will have to do something else….

I used the MBEC plug to power mine. Used batt power (always on) because I wanted mine for parking mode recording.
