FitcamX\u2019s own Tesla page still stops at Model Y 2020\u20132021.<\/p>\n  <p>Tesla already records Dashcam and Sentry to a USB stick. That is a separate system: Autopilot cameras, compressed clips, glovebox USB-A on cars built after about November 1, 2021. A third-party cam is for 4K plates, a dedicated rear looking through the <em>hatch<\/em>, and a cabin channel Tesla does not give you as a 4K file. Keep the TeslaCam drive in the glovebox. Do not steal that port for the VIOFO, and do not add a USB hub \u2014 Tesla\u2019s interior-electronics note says hubs can stop Dashcam \/ Sentry \/ Media Player from seeing the drive.<\/p>\n<p>VIOFO\u2019s A229 Pro 3CH: front Sony STARVIS 2 IMX678 8 MP, 4K 30 fps, f\/1.8, ~140\u00b0. Rear Sony STARVIS 2 IMX675 5 MP, 2K 30 fps, ~160\u00b0 \u2014 that is the Model Y pairing. Route the rear cable through the liftgate grommet, not down a sedan trunk. Cabin 1080p with infrared LEDs. Dual-band Wi-Fi, GPS, supercapacitor (the glass roof is a greenhouse). Buffered parking needs a hardwire kit with a low-voltage cutoff; driving-only can use the 12 V \/ low-voltage outlet Tesla documents in the cabin. VIOFO lists the 3CH carton as 4K + 2K + 1080P. Buy 3CH, not the 2CH commute kit, if the cabin is the point.<\/p>\n<p>This is not an OEM cowling. The camera sits on the windshield near Tesla\u2019s own camera cluster \u2014 keep it out of the Autopilot view. It is Overall because it does not care whether the Y is a 2021, a 2024, or a Juniper.

The polarizer is why Mini 3 is Budget here instead of a generic 1080p cube. Loop recording while you drive; Tesla Sentry on a \u226564 GB, \u22654 MB\/s, USB 2.0, exFAT stick in the glovebox for the parked hours. Two jobs, two devices. Skip Mini 3 as a 4K evidence cam and skip it as a rear-hatch kit \u2014 Garmin Auto Sync can add more Minis, but that is extra cubes, not VIOFO\u2019s 2K rear.<\/p>\n  <div class=\"pros-cons\">\n  <ul class=\"pros\">\n  <li>30 g stealth; polarizer for glass-roof windshield glare<\/li>\n  <li>Supercapacitor; Sentry stays on Tesla\u2019s own USB rules<\/li>\n  <li>Voice control + Drive app without a 3-channel install<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n  <ul class=\"cons\">\n  <li>1080p, no native GPS, no rear\/cabin in the box<\/li>\n  <li>Parking Guard is an extra cable + Vault, not a radar kit<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n  <\/div>\n  <p class=\"purchase-links\"><span class=\"amazon-region-btn\">Check Price on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s?k=Garmin+Dash+Cam+Mini+3&#038;tag=e6890-20&#038;linkCode=osi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Amazon US<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/s?k=Garmin+Dash+Cam+Mini+3&#038;tag=pctest07-21&#038;linkCode=osi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">UK<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.ca\/s?k=Garmin+Dash+Cam+Mini+3&#038;tag=pctestt-20&#038;linkCode=osi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">CA<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.de\/s?k=Garmin+Dash+Cam+Mini+3&#038;tag=67990-21&#038;linkCode=osi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">DE<\/a> \u2192<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/search?BI=8941&#038;KBID=10361&#038;SID=12345&#038;DFF=d50&#038;Ntt=Garmin+Dash+Cam+Mini+3\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"purchase-link-bh\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Check Price on B&#038;H<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2>If You Need Something Else<\/h2>\n<div class=\"top-recommendation\" id=\"also-great-1\" data-badge=\"also-great\">\n  <div class=\"top-badge badge-also-great\">\ud83d\udc4d Also Great<\/div>\n  <h3>FitcamX (Tesla Model Y 2020\u20132021) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s?k=FitcamX+%28Tesla+Model+Y+2020%E2%80%932021%29&#038;tag=e6890-20&#038;linkCode=osi\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"title-amazon-btn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">View on Amazon<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/search?Ntt=FitcamX+%28Tesla+Model+Y+2020%E2%80%932021%29&#038;BI=8941&#038;KBID=10361&#038;SID=12345&#038;DFF=d50\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"title-bh-btn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">View on B&#038;H<\/a><\/h3>\n  <div class=\"product-highlights\">\n  <div class=\"highlight-item\"><span class=\"highlight-label\">Best For:<\/span> Also consider \u2014 not a Top 3 pick<\/div>\n  <div class=\"highlight-item\"><span class=\"highlight-label\">Key Feature:<\/span> OEM-style cover, 2160p\/30, f\/1.6, 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, 256 GB max, parking needs\u2026<\/div>\n  <div class=\"highlight-item\"><span class=\"highlight-label\">Rating:<\/span> <span class=\"star-rating\">Layer 2<\/span><\/div>\n  <\/div>\n  \n  <p>OEM-style cover, 2160p\/30, f\/1.6, 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, 256 GB max, parking needs extra hardwire and is collision-triggered, not continuous.
