Not Kona Specific I suppose, but just thought I would document the Dashcam I have just fitted.
Up till now I have used a Twin camera system with a 1080p camera on the windscreen and a 720p on the rearscreen with the wire run down inside the car, and the power to supply them from a wire run down the side pillar to the 12v socket in the centre console.
I have now replaced this setup with a single 360 Degree camera, and have hardwired the power to the overhead console (The Red and Black Wires to the Overhead Lights), These are always live, and when in sleep mode the Dashcam records one image a second providing parked protection
Its not as high up as I would have liked so has a lot of dashboard in the forward facing images, but in practice this does not detract and everything relevent can be clearly seen, but this positioning allows clear view out of the side and rear windows giving good all round view.
I was advised this type of recording is better as its shows clearly what was happening at the sides as well as the actions of the driver at the time, so easier to discount was not looking or did not indicate claims.
Has Multiple viewing options including one in full VR where you can put on a VR headset and view it as though you are in the car.
But Personally I prefer this 2 Screen Full Front and Full Cabin/Rear View
There are 3 Camera View (Which is good for front and showing Drivers use of controls)
And 4 Camera View Which I may try and use a bit more
But all in all a neat single camera unit that covers the entire external and internals and easily wired into the overhead console lights for power
Yes you can zoom, but in reality all you are looking for with rear view is the proof someone ran into the back of you,
I obsessed about clear numberplate images, but advice is its better the see more area and less detail as 90% of the time it goes down to who did what rather than needing the numberplate of the car, I was told the best thing to do is just speak the number plate so its recorded if you think you will need it later.

I've done something similar myself with a dual camera mounted in the centre of the car.
It gets a view through the windscreen as a dash cam, and out the back window in case of a rear shunt. Also, you can see through the wing mirrors if anyone is messing with the car. Check out this small video I made.
There's a guy in a brown coat acting suspiciously. Fortunately, he was just waiting for someone at the supermarket.
I also bought a phone battery pack which will run the camera while the car is parked up.
I now have something similar to a Tesla sentry mode without having to buy a £40,000 car.
TYPE S is revolutionizing the way we record video not only on the road but also inside the vehicle. Designed for the everyday driver and ride-share operators, the DRIVE 360 Dash Cam takes on-road documentation and sharing to another level. Unique views and modes allow drivers to chronicle and...
Mine arrived today also. The instructions are hilarious, but I was surprised that it worked straight out of the box. You can view 360 in the Windows 10 Film and TV viewer if you click on the three dots in the bottom righthand corner and click "view as 360". I'm now experimenting with various settings and locations in the car.

Charged it a little then connected it in the car to get some footage to work with. On one forum it recommends 360Fly editing software so I'm trying that now.
First off, apologies if any of these questions have been answered already. I've had a good search around but not found concrete answers (if there are any).
Quick backstory: I've had my eye on the Kona for well over a year, and we're finally lucky enough to be in a position to afford one. We've...
Okay I am very pleased to have fitted my own complete frunk. I decided my previous mini frunk simply wasn't enough. My goal now was to free up the ENTIRE under-boot space and that meant more than just sticking the fast charging cable pack up on the engine hood by tape.
The under boot space...
If anyone is interested in roof boxes one may wonder what is the penalty in consumption. I did a few tests over last two days (repeated to ensure consistency). All tests were at real GPS speed (not speedo).
I did a loop of 10 miles for easy calculation.
I was gifted 470L roofbox from Halfords -...
Well we are still plodding on...
Currently since the car has been back in and had the updates reapplied it now charges on High Power Chargers at the Full Speed (77Kw), but still has issues on 50KW Chargers (Throttles after it warms up)
Personally seems like the Battery Cooling is not working...
