Skoda Kodiaq – Vantrue Sonnet 1 Pro front and rear dash cam installation with parking mode

This Skoda Kodiaq arrived at Sound Audio System for a professional Vantrue Sonnet 1 Pro dash cam installation. The project included a front camera, rear camera and parking mode setup, allowing the vehicle to be protected not only while driving, but also when parked.

In a modern SUV such as the Skoda Kodiaq, a front and rear dash cam should be installed discreetly, securely and without visible wiring. The front camera was placed near the rear-view mirror, while the rear camera was mounted on the tailgate glass. The wiring was hidden under the interior trim to keep the installation clean and factory-looking.

Vantrue Sonnet 1 Pro – front and rear dash cam for Skoda Kodiaq

Vantrue Sonnet 1 Pro is a practical solution for drivers who want video recording from both the front and rear of the vehicle. The front camera records what happens ahead of the car, while the rear camera increases protection during driving, parking and unexpected road situations.

In this Skoda Kodiaq, it was important to position both cameras so that they would not limit visibility or disturb the interior aesthetics. The front camera was installed near the rear-view mirror, and the rear camera was mounted on the tailgate glass. This keeps the setup practical, effective and discreet.

Front camera installation near the rear-view mirror

The front camera was mounted in the upper part of the windshield, close to the mirror. This is one of the best places for a dash cam, as it provides a wide view of the road while staying out of the driver’s field of vision.

The wiring was hidden under the trim, so the installation looks clean and professional. Proper cable routing around the headliner, pillars and factory interior elements is very important when installing a dash cam in a modern vehicle.

Rear camera mounted on the tailgate glass

The second stage was rear camera installation. In the Skoda Kodiaq, the rear camera was placed on the tailgate glass to cover the area behind the vehicle. This increases safety and provides additional video material in the event of a collision, parking impact or dangerous road situation.

Hiding the rear camera cable requires precision because the installation has to run through the interior trim and around the tailgate area. At Sound Audio System, we perform such installations so that the wires remain invisible and do not interfere with everyday use of the car.

Parking mode – protection when the car is parked

Parking mode is one of the most important features of a modern dash cam. It allows the camera to react to incidents even when the vehicle is parked. This is especially useful for larger vehicles such as the Skoda Kodiaq, which are often used for family travel, city parking and long-distance driving.

Professional parking mode installation allows you to use additional vehicle protection without loose cables, temporary adapters or an untidy power connection. Correct wiring improves both convenience and the safety of the entire system.

• Front and rear video recording.
• Discreet front camera installation near the mirror.
• Rear camera mounted on the tailgate glass.
• Hidden wiring inside the vehicle trim.
• Parking mode functionality.
• Better protection while driving and parked.
