before I picked up my MME I gave them the Fitcamx for installation.
They said it has been the easiest install of a dasgcam they ever had and there was no need for a heat gum. it fits perfectly.

However I have issued with the quality of this 4rK cam. not quite clear, very much pixeled.

What are your experiences?
When did you purchase the Fitcamx? Do you have pictures of the plastic surround where it meets the headliner?

I have not had any issues with image quality on mine.

I've never heard of Xiaomi, but seeing that their design is an obvious SanDisk Extreme knockoff doesn't fill me with a lot of confidence.

They’re a CN company that makes a lot of different electronic devices, most notably cell phones. ??

the cam was purchased end of Nov. and no I don't have any plastic surround.
some of the pictures are quite pixelated, especially the night pictures.
I ordered a new memory card ( SanDisk Extreme Pro), hopefully that will solve the problem

Update: Fitcamx support responded to let me know that they're working on a new version of the trim panel (as previously reported by generaltso) and are also working on a new version of the 2K rear camera to address the FM radio interference issue. Fingers crossed!

Interesting! I ordered one around Christmas time but haven't installed it yet. I wonder if they will do an exchange. I'm willing to wait if it addresses these concerns!

Another update: Fitcamx support sent a new rear camera and a new plastic housing for the front camera. The FM radio interference is greatly improved, but not eliminated. It's to a level that it's fine for me at this point. I think they have a little more EMC work to be done (and it'd be nice to see a Part 15 certification for this thing) but it's good enough for me.

Similar story with the shroud. MUCH better fit, but still a small gap on the passenger side rear corner. Good enough for me at this point.

I appreciate the second stab they took at this. I think they're in a much better spot now.

Pics of the new shroud?

So just an FYI--If you don't want to transfer the clips from the OE cover to the FitcamX-Here's what you need---
w714972s300 x4(white plastic clips)
w718896s442 x1 (metal silver clip) might be a pack of 4
pretty cheap..
