Congrats! I did Advanced Car Eye 2 as well...front and back. Had mine 3 weeks and loving it.

Also added the RC Black and XLR - I won't turn on the RC until I hit 1500 miles, but the XLR alone makes it feel like a whole different car.

I've just found my 200GB memory card, so will be sticking that in - hopefully the capacity is compatible! Cant't see why it wouldn't be!

For me its more a family car - more space for the kids in the back etc. I'm quite happy with the stock performance.......for now....... lol

Advanced Control Eye... What is that? I don't remember that being an option in USA.

Works similarly as Drive Recorder (uses vehicle 4 cameras), but are front and rear HD video recorder.

"The full-HD wide-angle camera automatically records certain driving situations. The detailed video is also saved automatically. Various sensors on the light-sensitive camera, as well as excellent signal processing, mean the camera is capable of recording high-quality images during the day and at night. The highly sensitive GPS receiver enables recording of the road and speed. The G sensor detects impacts. Ambient movements are detected and analyzed by radar technology."

So basically a fancy BMW dash-cam at a higher price... but made to look right in the car and hopefully wire in to the harness somewhere seamlessly? Cool. I'm guessing it records longer clips than the drive recorder too.

It stores videos constantly at much longer lengths, comes with an app, is configurable, and you can always see what is going on around the car.

I have Drive Recorder, too...but that only does 20 seconds before and after...ACE has a lot of memory.

Because its hard wired into the car, it stays active even when the car is switched off.
If it senses motion, or any movement, it will begin recording.

That sounds pretty good, actually. I can't imagine it will be too long until integrated dash cams become an option. Perhaps they'll even expand the current drive recorded to act more like Tesla's sentry system.

To be honest I don't see why its not standard already. You have ether Drive Recorder already, which is always running in the background, but only saves upon an impact etc - all they need to do is have it record constantly onto a memory card - no need for any separate dash cam that way.

Either that, or integrate another camera into the back of the rear view mirror and the rear end of the car - I'm sure they could come up with an easy solution that blends right in and cant even be seen!
