Fit Cam X · Reviewed by RevolveAuto · Published 2026-03-12
Based on a review by RevolveAuto (accessed 2026-03-12).
Based on this review alone: buy it if you care about looks like a factory-installed component — just accept rear camera night footage is poor when combined with dark tinted windows.
The reviewer concluded that the Fit Cam X dash cam turned out better than expected, praising its OEM look and impressive front camera footage quality. They noted that the daytime performance of both cameras is good, especially considering their dark tinted windows, though nighttime rear camera footage is limited due to the tint.
The review covers the FitCamX dual dash cam for the Mazda CX-50. It includes an unboxing, a detailed installation guide demonstrating how to achieve a factory-style look with hidden wiring, and a test of the front and rear camera footage quality during day and night.
This dash cam is highly recommended for Mazda CX-50 owners seeking a truly factory-style solution due to its incredibly seamless integration. The custom plastic panels replace the stock mirror cover, making the front camera look like it came straight from the manufacturer. Its 4K front camera records impressive daytime footage, capturing clear details like license plates even in challenging mixed lighting conditions. While installation is tedious due to routing cables through the tight headliner and A-pillar, the end result is a completely hidden wiring setup. If you own a Mazda CX-50 and prioritize a clean, integrated dash cam appearance, this system is an excellent choice. However, if you have heavily tinted rear windows, expect limited night vision performance from the rear camera.

The reviewer demonstrates running the rear camera cable from the back to the front along the driver's side and through the headliner, noting it's a tedious process due to the CX-50's snug headliner.

The reviewer notes that nighttime footage from the rear camera is poor, stating that 'you can't really see much' due to the very dark tinted windows, acknowledging it's not a night vision monster.
The FitCamX dash cam integrates directly into the rearview mirror housing of the Mazda CX-50 using custom plastic panels, making it look like an original factory component. All wiring is hidden within the headliner and trim, resulting in zero visible cables or mounts.
Installing the FitCamX involves prying off interior panels and carefully routing cables through the headliner and trim for a hidden look. While the power connection is straightforward using a Y-cable for the sunroof, running the rear camera cable from front to back is described as "tedious" due to the CX-50's snug headliner, requiring the use of a trim tool to create gaps.
The reviewer tested the front camera's 4K footage in a parking garage during the day and found its clarity "really impressive." It was able to clearly capture details such as license plates, street signs, and elements in shadows, indicating solid overall quality.
During the day, the rear camera's footage is clear and usable, even with the reviewer's "really dark" tinted windows. However, at night, the reviewer states that "you can't really see much" due to the dark tint, acknowledging that daytime performance is its strength.
The FitCamX dash cam utilizes an app that connects over Wi-Fi. Through this app, users can download recorded clips directly to their phone. The app also includes a setting to enable or disable audio recording, though the reviewer had their audio muted during the footage demonstration.
The reviewer explicitly states that the Fit Cam X dash cam is "specifically made for the CX-50" and comes with custom plastic panels designed to replace the stock mirror cover, ensuring an OEM look and specific fitment for the car, rather than being a universal product.
