Loving my new Prius… Did some cleaning and got the dash cam set up




Just curious… Why do you have two phone holders?

Some people use multiple devices on the road, like Uber drivers for example.

I use the center one for live-streaming. I run a pretty big YouTube channel and often stream while driving.

Why do you have the holder on the left? I have the same car. You don’t use Android Auto or CarPlay? There’s a slot to charge your phone.

The wireless charger is unreliable. It barely works, especially with a case on my phone.

That’s weird… Mine works fine, but I don’t use a case. If I don’t place it right, it won’t charge, but once adjusted, it’s solid. I like it better than the ones that lay flat face-up.

That doesn’t seem safe… Distracted driving is dangerous. I just hope you’re being responsible so no one gets hurt.

@Stewart
Live-streaming is like having a dash cam. I don’t touch my phone while driving—that’s reckless. I used to drive trucks and saw way too many crashes from distracted driving. My setup is so I DON’T have to mess with my phone while driving.

Can we check out your channel? Would be cool if you talked about the car too.

Not sure if I can mention it here, but my username is the same as my channel. If this isn’t allowed, mods can remove it.

Planning to make more videos on the car. So far, I only did a first impressions video.

Visibility is already tricky with those A-pillars. I can’t imagine adding two phones and a dash cam on top of that.

Which dash cam did you go with? I’m thinking about getting one.

Vantrue Nexus 5. Great video quality, but a bit pricey. Has both inward and outward facing cameras.

What dash cam did you install?

Not the original poster, but I installed a FitcamX. It integrates into the OEM sensor assembly and gets power from there. No messy wires, and it looks like it came with the car. Works great in my 2024 XLE.

Does that void the warranty?

Not sure, but I doubt it. Everything fits neatly in the shroud. Took me 10 minutes to install.
