Does the Land Rover Range Rover come with a built-in dash cam?

Land Rover Range Rover comes with a built-in dash cam. Additional information: 1. Dash cam: A car dash cam is a device that records images, sounds, and other related information during vehicle travel. If the Range Rover is equipped with a dash cam at the factory, it can save the owner the trouble of installing one later. The Range Rover's built-in dash cam can record and continuously update the road conditions in front of, inside, and around the vehicle, which can be used to investigate traffic accident liability. 2. Automatic headlights: Automatic headlights can turn on when ambient light is insufficient to ensure driving safety. If the Range Rover has automatic headlights, it can prevent the owner from forgetting to turn on the headlights at night or in poor lighting conditions. Alternatively, when entering a tunnel suddenly from a bright area, the Range Rover's headlights automatically adjust the brightness, eliminating the need for the owner to find the switch and improving driving safety.
The factory-standard Land Rover Range Rover typically doesn't come with a dash cam installed; you'll need to install one yourself. I previously helped a friend pick up a Range Rover Sport, the top trim costing over a million fully loaded, only to find the central console completely lacked built-in dash cam functionality. The salesperson mentioned it's only available as part of the optional security package, which costs an additional 20,000 to 30,000 yuan—pretty steep. Later, we had a hidden-style dash cam installed at the dealership for 3,000 yuan, powered from the rearview mirror with completely invisible wiring. My advice is to negotiate for the dealership to include a factory dash cam upon delivery—it's much more hassle-free than retrofitting later, especially since the factory version can integrate with the central display for video playback.
The Land Rover Range Rover models do not come with a dashcam as standard equipment, which I have confirmed. Last month, while accompanying a client for a vehicle inspection, I noticed that his 2022 First Edition model wasn't equipped with one either, requiring an aftermarket purchase. However, the latest version of the vehicle's infotainment system is compatible with genuine accessories, allowing direct plug-and-play via the OBD port. It's advisable to choose a dashcam with GPS functionality, as it can synchronize speed data in the event of an accident. Remember to instruct the modification shop not to tamper with the wiring improperly, as there have been cases where improper wiring led to battery drainage, resulting in disputes that took months to resolve.
