Definitely send it back. Might just be unlucky and got one that is defective.

The 590 is lower resolution but it definitely shouldn't be out of focus at all. Is it new? If so it might be worth exchanging it as it could be defective. Dumb question but you did pull off the protective plastic from the lens right?

The hardwire kit has a voltage cutoff. It turns the camera off when the car battery reaches 12V. It's good for several hours of parking mode coverage.

Thanks! It wasn't so bad. I kinda had an idea what I was doing this time as I did it on my last car. This one took about an hour or so. My last car my coworker and I spent 2-2.5 hours trying to figure it out because we didn't even have a clue where to start.

Lol, should be similar on other car brands too!

Blackvue DR900X-2ch

No issues at all with Eyesight. I had this in my 2019 Legacy right behind the rearview mirror for over 3 years without a problem. This one has been installed for a week now and no issues so far.

I've had no issues with it. Camera isn't new, had it for over a year. Just a new car.

Yup, will be the same in the front. Back will be slightly different with the tailgate

The front camera should be identical. The rear will be slightly different running it to the tailgate.

Haha yeah another good reason to go along the floor. All I had to do by the b pillar was tuck it in at the bottom.

They've worked well for me. Had a 900s for over 2 years before I decided to upgrade.

That's what I did for the A pillar but for the rear camera it was just easier to go along the floor and not worry about the airbag at all

Camera in the gen 4 eyesight is flush with that glass, no interference at all.

Haha my only experience is with the Subaru trim on both this car and my old one. They all came off easily and other than the A pillar, went back on pretty easily as well.

I'd like to use it with a LiFePO4 dashcam battery but they're too expensive for my needs. I only need the parking mode for a few hours while running errands. At work and at home, my car is well covered by security cameras.

Thanks! I thought about going that route but wanted to stay away from the airbags

Won't work with parking mode though

Thanks. Can't edit the title, but I edited my comment above to add the model and year to help with searches.

This is an install on a 2023 Subaru Legacy with Eyesight. I installed a Blackvue dashcam using their hardwire kit to enable parking mode.
