Works well
I use this in my car to split the feed from the reverse camera, so I can view it on demand and not just when reversing. It does the job just fine.

Good features for the price
Very happy with this dashcam, for £20 it does a lot.
The video and sound quality are good, the video is not as good quality as some 1080P content, but still more than good enough for a dash cam. recording. The cam fills up a 32Gb SD card in about 4 hours or so, then will loop record. I briefly tried the motion detection, it would probably only be of use if using the cam as a security camera and you keep the dash cam powered on permanently, the night vision might come in useful if the motion detection was used for security in this was. The default mode ensures the unit is recording when powered on so is more useful in my opinion that the motion sensor. The night vision illumination range is poor though, I estimate a couple of metres, although I guess most cameras are no different. The emergency button can be pressed to save a recording and lock it so it won't get overwritten. Not really tried the shock sensor out, it might be useful if the camera is left on as a security camera, and in a crash I would either press the emergency button or eject the SD card to use as evidence, meaning the shock sensor wouldn't be that useful. Anyhow it's nice to have the feature 'just in case'.
The quality from the rear camera is fair, but good enough to show what is going on if you are rear ended by another car.
A few small downsides:
- The clip on the mount has a smooth mating surface doesn't hold the camera in place firmly. It slips off sometimes when driving and I have to pull over and clip it back on. I just tried some silicone sealant on the clip to help the two halves stay attached to one another.
- The cigarette lighter power adaptor played havoc with my DAB radio signal, cut it in half. I have hard wired a 12V to USB adaptor to the ignition switched live and used a USB cable to power the camera, this has cured the DAB signal problem.
- The camera interferes with my Freeview TV box in the car. Not such an issue as I won't be watching telly when driving, so I need to turn the camera off before watching TV.
- My rear view parking camera which is permanently powered (not the one with this kit) causes interference on the dash cam rear camera feed, not enough to destroy the video quality but it does cause some wavy lines on it.
So it seems there are some interference issues with this camera and the cigarette power adaptor.
So in summary, overall a good, cheap and cheerful unit for the price, but technical a few flaws that might need some time spent by the user to overcome.

Just like an original BMW sensor, good price.
A bit of a pain to fit in my E46, a pair of mole grips sorted that out, that's not the fault of this part though of course. Keeping some pressure on the brake pedal (engine off) while quickly swapping the sensors avoided getting air into the system and needing to bleed it, the pedal feels just the same afterwards.
It looks very very similar to the genuine BMW one so perhaps it came off the same production line?
Anyhow, as for the performance of the sensor, it's accuracy, I tested it on my diagnostic software. It was giving results extremely close to the other original DSC sensor on the other brake circuit (still working fine), so close I would say it pretty much gives exactly the same readings as the genuine sensors do.
The yellow warning lights are off now so that's good news!
Based on this for the money it's a good deal, lots cheaper than going to BMW for one.
