Customers love the Dash Cam Mini 3 for its compact size and reliability. However, they are frustrated with the slow wireless transfer of videos, which requires a manual connection to Wi-Fi every time they get in the car.

Works great and isn't even noticeable when paired with the Dongar adapter that pulls power from the rear view mirror. Highly recommend.

I love this camera. I purchased three of them. Easy set up. Easy viewing. Nice and clean hidden wires if your car allows you to get into the A pillar trim and down the door seal. Only downside is it is front facing only. Good product and support.

Good dashcam, albeit image quality should be better in 2025.

Don’t waste your money. I bought this to capture a 3,000 plus mile road trip in New Zealand. It had to reconnect each time and it would kick me out of Apple Car Play for directions. I tried connecting to WiFi at AirBNB’s or hotels to save videos, but the device kept disconnecting. After multiple days of wasting more than an hour trying to edit a clip that kept kicking me out, I gave up. I planned to download and edit when I got home. Even at home on my wifi, I had reconnecting multiple times. I was able to export 3 videos clips I edited before it said my 256 micro SD card needed to be formatting. After using it the last 2.5 weeks. Formatting it would means it would delete anything on my card. I’m know trying to figure out if there’s a way to retrieve it. I tried calling Garmin but they weren’t able to help. He said it required a class 10 SD card, which mine was. Because it was within 30 days, he said I could return it, but only if it’s bought directly through Garmin, not Best Buy. I bought the “vault” subscription as a fallback, but it only works for saved videos unlike the cloud. Due to connectivity issues, the videos weren’t saved. It was a waste of money but the frustrating part is the lost memories. The whole reason I bought this item was to capture my roadtrip, which it did not. Don’t bother with a Garmin. Not user friendly and a waste of money.

I bought this device because it was a Garmin and I thought Garmin is good for quality, but I’m here to say that this is the biggest piece of crap that I’ve ever bought. I have tried and tried and try to get it to work. Wi-Fi doesn’t work on it. You go through major steps and finally the device tells you to call Garmin so they can fix it. I won’t be buying Garmin again.

The app isn’t the best but I could still access clips if I needed to. Only issue was after 5 months of it exsiting in the car it just stopped turning on. Tested different things to make sure it wasn’t because of the car but nothing ended up working.
