Smart phones and there uses


I have been thinking about getting a Dash Cam one with GPS tracking, but I have also thought about a new mobile. So upon searching I came upon several topics on Smart Phones and Apps for them, now I'm not all that tech savvy but it seems to me that i could run a Dash Cam, GPS and an OBD2 scanner via Apps and Bluetooth signal in the case of the OBD2 thus eliminating 2 devices, so surely this would be the way to go?

Interested in your opinions, thanks.

All good except for as a dash cam, in practice it just gets too hot and stops.

I've used the vicovation opia2 for the last 6 months, hasn't missed a beat. 

My insurance xs is $1500, so that's how I justify the cost.

In Victor Harbour I had a road rage incident where a guy in Porsche SUV passed me and indicated the stomped on brakes to turn right infront of us . We hit the back of SUV . It was the camara footage that got me off the at fault claim !!

Re dashcam cameras getting hot and then stop working - mount them on the sunvisor so they are out of the sun plus in that location they can see more of the road ahead.

Good Luck.
