There is a new dashcam available for the Chevy Bolt EUV from dashcam manufacturer FitcamX. FitcamX offers high quality dashcams that are custom designed for many models of vehicles to replace the front OEM camera housing that is usually mounted to the windshield behind the rear-view mirror. When the exact-fit replacement housing with the added dashcam is installed, your vehicle will look OEM and won’t have any visible wires or cluttered-looking separate dashcams stuck to the windshield. All the following photos are of my car with the new FitcamX dash cam custom made for the Chevy Bolt EUV. The front Dash Cam is exceptionally easy and quick to install with no wires to laboriously route or fuses to add. This dash cam comes with a custom wiring harness that plugs into an OEM plug available in the front camera housing for power. Front dashcam Installation is as simple as: pulling off the OEM front camera housing, plugging the custom wiring harness into the OEM plug behind the rearview mirror and into the new dashcam Snapping the new Dashcam housing into place where the old OEM housing was attached. Back story: I tried to order the FItcamx for my 2023 Chevy Bolt EUV Premier 4 months ago but a version for the Bolt EUV was not available. However, FItcamX offered to make a version custom designed the Bolt EUV if I sent them the OEM Chevy front camera housing off of my Bolt so they could scan-in the part and redesign it in CAD to include their dashcam. A few weeks later they sent me a prototype front dashcam with a stereolithography “printed” housing. That prototype has been installed and working fine for the last 4 months in my Bolt. This week, I just received and installed the production version with the production molded housing. The housing is very well designed with excellent fit and finish. Speaking with experience as an automotive engineering manager for many years, I can say that they did an excellent job with the mold design and quality. The housing snaps into place as securely as the OEM part and looks as good as the OEM part installed. My production version has 4K front resolution and a remote 1080P rear resolution camera. Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with FItcamx other than receiving one free dash cam from them for my help in getting the custom molded housing produced for the Bolt EUV. =============== Installation Tips for FItcamX Dashcam for Bolt EUV: The front dashcam installation is very easy and quick However, If you also choose to get the optional rear camera, you should route the cable first for the rear camera as that will take the most time and effort. The rear camera has one thin cable to route back to a plug in the front camera housing. Positioning the fiberglass fish rod: I will explain how I routed the cable for the rear camera as it went quite quickly. I didn’t want to route the cable along the side window moldings because of the air bags in that location. I bought a cheap set of segmented 1 foot fiberglass cable pulling rods from Amazon that can be sequentially screwed together end to end to extend up to 12 feet.

Don’t attach any of the hook or loop fittings on the leading tip of this fish rod because such fittings could get caught on something inside the roof. The rod’s thin straight profile aids it in not disturbing or getting caught on anything under the headliner. I pushed the fiberglass rods underneath the headliner rearward starting at the front edge of headliner at the driver’s side of the windshield. The headliner has to be pulled down slightly for rod access at both the front and rear but it returned to its original position without any hint of disturbance after the installation was done. Note that I have the panoramic sunroof option so I couldn’t go down the middle of the roof. If you don’t have a sunroof, the fishing will probably be much easier with the added room available. Since the rods can only bend slightly and are straight and stiff, it’s relatively easy to get the rods to track toward the back in a straight line. You may have to pull forward and back at times to clear hangups but I was successful in getting the assembled rod to just appear inside the left rear corner of the hatch opening after some effort. You will need the 6” rod attached to six 1-foot rods to make it all the way back. Note that I had to take a spare 1-foot section of the rods with a provided accessory hook attached to it to reach in from the headliner gap I opened at the rear hatch to guide the assembled rod tip to and through the headliner gap. Routing camera cable from hatch glass: Next, I started routing the rear camera cable from the rear hatch glass to the right-hand rubber cable boot. You must pull the rubber boot off of the molded plastic retention grommet on both sides. The plastic grommet also needs to be removed from the hole in the metal structure. Note that there are two small latching fingers that need to be depressed with a small screwdriver to get the grommet to release. Once the grommet is out of the way you can fish a long nylon wire tie from the rear glass through the grommet hole in the hatch door. Tape the rear camera cable to the wire tie with some Gorilla tape and pull it through. Use a wire tie to then pull the cable through the rubber boot. The rubber boot must be reinstalled on the two plastic retention grommets before snapping the grommets back into the holes. The cable can now be tucked behind the headliner by temporarily separating it from the rear hatch rubber door seal. Pulling the rear camera cable above the headliner to the front: Now attach the rear camera cable to the fiber pole assembly tip sticking out the back of the headliner. Use a long piece of high strength gorilla tap to prevent pull-out, and keep the tape streamlined in diameter to prevent it from hanging up on anything when pulling toward the front. Pull the cable to the front – have someone at the rear, if possible, to make sure the cable doesn’t get hung up in the rear. Disassemble the 1-foot sections one at a time as you pull the cable forward from the front seat. Removing the OEM front camera housing: The Bolt OEM front camera housing has four molded clips that secure it to a fixed plastic base that stays attached to the windshield. The housing simply pulls away perpendicularly from the windshield. Place one hand on the right side and the other on the left side and pull away from the glass. Once the housing is free, the closeout panel on the housing must be removed to free it from the rear-view mirror. There are two tiny latches that hold the front end of the closeout panel to the rest of the housing. the idea is to somehow squeeze the tiny latch on each side in succession and closeout panel can be moved perpendicularly downward with respect to the bottom surface of the housing to release it from the housing. Installing the front dash cam: Unplug the OEM electrical plug. Note that there is a latch on the plug that must be depressed when unplugging. Inspect the latch on the Dashcam harness plug to familiarize yourself with the latch location. Plug the Dashcam wiring harness plug into the OEM socket and plug the OEM plug into the dash cam socket. Plug the front dashcam cable into the harness connector and the rear camera cable (if you ordered one) into the marked rear camera connector coming from the dash cam housing. New dashcam with power harness and rear camera cable pluggged-in: This next step is important. Carefully arrange the wiring harness in a way to make it compact and out of the way so the housing can be reinstalled. This may take some trial-and-error time adjusting the cable position so that everything fits without binding. Note carefully where the 4 clips are located on the housing. Position the housing and push it perpendicularly toward the windshield. The OEM clips that GM designed for this housing are not very forgiving for misalignment so it may take some time moving the housing slightly left, right, forward, or aft to find the spot that engages all 4 latches. Once the position is found, the latches should snap in securely. =========== rear view camera: I put the rear cam at the top and just off-center to the right of where the external rear OEM camera is located. The wide angle view is very good from that location. I also bought the accessory polarizing lens for the front camera which attaches with double-faced tape. It effectively eliminates all internal reflections of the dash in the front camera view.
