Last time I went to a new-to-me grocery store that I didn’t have a loyalty card for, I just used [local area code]-867-5309. Jenny hasn’t failed me yet.

That’s sounds wickedly retro-brilliant and I love it. Would it use full-size VHS tapes, or those dinky ones that fit into a full-size converter?

I’ve been having good luck with Mercari. It’s an online flea market where individuals sell their stuff. It helps that I dress boring and know my size in a few specific brands/items.

I ended up ordering a VF-VS1 VIOFO VS1 mini. It seemed low-hassle, and I’m happy with audio + front video.

I’ll probably go the long-cable route. It’s a 2008 car, so I’m not winning any style points anyway. I’ll ask my mechanic if they could hardwire it next time I’m in.

Thanks!

I hadn’t thought of mounting behind the mirror and running wiring along the edge of the window. That makes sense, thank you. I’ll take a look at your suggestion. 😊

I’m mostly worried about wiring and having a distraction in my field of view, so mounting behind the rear-view mirror might work. I already have a parking tag there, but there might be space for both. Thanks!

I thought about a mobile app, but something that consistently records is better than relying on my faulty memory.

I’ll take a look at 70mai, thanks.
