Dashcam and heated front screen
I have recently bought a rear view mirror that has a dash cam built in. When in use it seems to be focusing on the heating elements within the screen. As such the picture that I want is all out of focus and you cant read a number plate for example. Has anybody had the same issue and how did you solve it?

SEAT satnav maps
I have a new SEAT Leon and I've noticed the navigation system uses HERE maps. I was a bit surprised today to find it is missing new roads like the Raith underpass on the A725 and the new sections of M8 heading into Glasgow.

My dad purchased a used car in December 2017 from a dealer in Yorkshire.

Front and rear dash cams? Is it worth it?
I know most people only have a front dash cam but I thought both would be better. I was looking at this one https://www.nextbase.co.uk/dash-cams/front-and-rear-hd-dash-cam/.I'm sure there are cheaper options but I need something idiot-proof and with wifi/app since I only have an iPad. Also it seems less hassle than having…
