IROAD FX2
Verified5 reviews
Awesome dash cam – I've been using the iroad fx2 for the past two years, and it has proven to be a great investment. In that time, I've encountered a few incidents where the footage captured by the dash cam has been a lifesaver, providing clear evidence. I had the FX2 installed at a shop in Strathfield, and the entire process was easy. From day one, the camera has performed perfectly. The video quality is super clear both day and night, making it easy to see important details like number plates and street signs and has a wide lense. One of the best features of the FX2 is the app… it’s user-friendly to quickly access footage, download clips, and adjust settings without any hassle. Highly recommended product to anyone who drives a car.

Audi carplay compatibility – Had 2 systems fitted to Audi Q3, neither will connect and remain connected without disconnecting Bluetooth as it is somehow not compatible with Audi Apple car play, still records but cannot get live play back or review footage without turning off Bluetooth. Very popular system in a popular car, this needs some sort of software patch.

Hi Steve, Thanks for your feedback. The issue you're experiencing is not due to the dash cam or its software, but rather the way modern smartphones handle wireless connections. Wireless Apple CarPlay (and Android Auto) actually uses your phone's Wi-Fi connection, the same connection method required to access live view or footage from the IROAD dash cam. Unfortunately, phones can only maintain one active Wi-Fi connection at a time, which is why you need to disconnect from CarPlay before accessing the camera. This is a limitation set by phone manufacturers, not by IROAD. You can easily replicate this by trying to connect to two Wi-Fi networks at once — your phone simply won’t allow it. We do agree it would be ideal if devices could manage multiple Wi-Fi connections, but until that’s supported by iOS or Android, this workaround will remain necessary. If you’d like help navigating this or have any further questions, feel free to call our team on 1300 818 622, we’re happy to assist. Also, if you feel your review was based on this misunderstanding, we’d greatly appreciate it if you could consider updating it. Kind regards, The IROAD Australia Team
So why does it work when I turn of the phone Bluetooth?
Hi Steve, Great question. In most vehicles, turning off Bluetooth also disables Apple CarPlay, which then stops the Wi-Fi connection between your phone and the car. This is why you're then able to connect to the dash cam, your phone is no longer prioritising the CarPlay connection. It's a bit of a quirk in how CarPlay manages both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi together, and unfortunately it's outside the control of the dash cam itself. If you'd like to run through this or any other questions in more detail, feel free to give us a call on 1300 818 622 — we're always happy to help. Kind regards, The IROAD Australia Team
Poor service – I had this dashcam fitted in my new car by the dealer and when I tried to connect my android phone it would not connect. The car dealer was unable to connect it either so I was given the number of the installer who tried to talk me through the connection but when that did not work I was told that I could either drive 50km to their place or wait until they were next at the dealer if I was available at the same time. I cannot rate the dashcam because I don't know if it is working or not but the no care attitude is appalling. I paid $1359.00 for this when I would have been better off fitting a dashcam from Supercheap at half the price that I could have taken back if it didn't work. The other reviewers must have been lucky.

Hi Albert, Thanks for your feedback — we’re sorry to hear about your experience. It’s disappointing to see the product being rated poorly due to a setup issue, especially when the dash cam itself hasn’t yet been assessed for its performance or features. We understand your frustration, and we agree the process should have been smoother. While installation and initial setup are typically handled by the dealer or installer, we’re more than happy to step in and help directly. Please email us at sales@iroadau.com.au or call 1300 818 622, and we’ll do our best to resolve this for you as quickly as possible. We genuinely want to turn this around for you. Kind regards, The IROAD Australia Team
Great Customer Service Experience – I just purchased a new Mazda Cx5 and had the Road FX2 installed by the dealer prior to deliver. I tried to connect my iPhone to dash cam but was unable. The manual didn't help it needs to be more informative especially with modern cars with CarPlay, Bluetooth etc. On Saturday I sent an email to IRoad expecting I would get a reply sometime Monday. I received an informative reply within minutes explaining exactly what I needed to do to get connectivity. That's Excellent customer service.
