Small Profile, Ease of Use

I really like that the camera virtually disappears behind my mirror. As I start my truck, it gives an audible chime to remind me that it has turned on. There is also a visual light that is illuminated, or not, to portray the microphone status. I would absolutely give all Garmins a 10 rating if plug and play options were easier and cleaner. I do not like the chord hanging down, and it is a little daunting to start running wires under my headliner. I also would prefer a brand name cable to ensure QC is up to par and that I won't fry my camera. I have many Garmin products (edge 530 bike computer, Fenix 6 watch, Garmin Fly sattelite receiver, and multiple cams in each of my cars) and really like each of them!

Excellent rear window camera

I use this in the rear window with a 67W in the front. They work together well and are constantly looking out for me... One warning.... I used the suction mount successfully in the front but not in the rear. Garmin doesn't warn you that the suction mount might not work in the rear window due to the embedded rear window heating element which means the glass surface might not be totally smooth. It is not a heat issue... it's the perfect surface needed for the best suction. They even show it mounted on rear heating elements in their video, but we proved it does not stay. If/when you use their small glue mount, try to find the best place where it also won't be mounted on top of heating elements. FYI, you can remove it if necessary, but you can't re-use it once you do. Nice that they give you an extra one...

Super easy to set up

This was very quick and easy to setup in my vehicle. It was a perfect option for me because I'm not worried about being able to see what my dashcam sees all the time. I just want to have a record of what is happening in case I have an incident. You can also connect it with your phone if you want to be able to see the video footage immediately. Definetely recommend.

It's OK

The usb connector at the camera end should be a type c. I'm using it as a rear camera and there are no usb ports at the rear of my vehicle. The power end should have a way to tap into a 12v source such as a cable with a 12v to 5V converter. Better yet, why not just make the camera 12V? Not all cars have usb ports.

Excellent Quality

This dash cam is small and the quality of the video is excellent. Easy setup! Easy downloading the video. Plenty of mounting and power supply options included to fit your needs. Optional constant power option is an excellent feature. I highly recommend the Garmin Dash Cam mini 2. If you are looking for a dash cam this is the one to buy!

Cheap Mount

The mount is a cheap sticker/glue instead of a suction cup. I pulled the plastic adhesive backing off the glue mount, tested the camera location, then put the plastic adhesive back on. Huge mistake. I haven't been able to get the plastic backing back off, effectively running the mount. So the camera has sat in the box since Christmas, unused. Garmin does not sell a suction cup mount that is compatible, nor extra glue mounts.

Awful

It worked for about a week then wouldn’t sync with my iPhone 13 anymore . I called customer support 3 times to get help and all they would do is offer to email me some trouble shooting options. Then they said there was a software update so I did that and still would not sync with my phone so I gave up and sent it back. I always felt that Garmin was the best of the best but I was greatly disappointed.

Excellent interface with Garmin Drive

Compact and unobtrusive it is easily hidden behind the rear view mirror. Garmin Drive allows review and upload to your phone and editing clips. The one drawback is the ability to read license plates with this camera’s resolution. If you upload to a tablet or desktop you may be able to get enough resolution to do this but it this is an important feature you may want to upgrage to a higher resolution model. For the price it’s feature loaded and effective.

Simple and Effective

I installed this as a rear-facing camera on my 4Runner. I can use the lighter outlet in the trunk and chase the USB cable into the truck seal. It works great and is very simple to install and set up using the Garmin Drive app. Unfortunately in a world of distracted driving having a camera to provide proof offers some security

Garmin mini 2 dash cam

I have a Garmin dash cam that I love and just got a mini 2 and the mini 2 was the biggest screw up I have done in awhile. What a hunk of junk. I trusted the name and it didn't work out I would return it but I got it for Christmas and my wife doesn't know where the box it came in went . It gets hot it records about 30 minutes and shut's off my other camera and my two GPS's work great very happy with them and I've been looking at some gear for my boat but at this point I'm not sure it'll be Garmin
