For the current TANK 500 4K dash-camera listing, decide whether you need a forward view or both forward and rear views before choosing 32 GB or 64 GB memory. Those are two separate choices. The Decision Maker 4X4 product page currently lists four combinations: front recording with 32 GB, front recording with 64 GB, front-and-rear recording with 32 GB, and front-and-rear recording with 64 GB. The product images show a discreet housing above the rear-view mirror and describe 2160p front recording. They do not, by themselves, prove recording quality in every light condition or fitment in every TANK 500.
This is a buying and installation-planning guide, not an independent road test or a fitment certificate. We have not measured real-world video quality, parking-mode drain or retention time for this unit. Confirm the selected kit contents and exact vehicle before ordering.
Catalogue checked 1 October 2026. The cover is a generic AI concept, not a photo of an installed product. The three inline graphics are original editorial explainers. Product options, supply and descriptions can change.
What are the four listed choices?
| Camera view | Memory in the current listing | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Front only | 32 GB | You receive the forward camera and the selected memory option. |
| Front only | 64 GB | The same forward-view intention, with the larger listed memory option. |
| Front and rear | 32 GB | Both cameras and a suitable rear-cable path are included. |
| Front and rear | 64 GB | Both cameras and the larger listed memory option are included. |
The product page offers these as selectable configurations. Do not infer that a rear camera comes with a front-only option, or that buying more memory changes the number of camera directions. Check the exact variant shown in the basket and ask for an itemised kit photo if any included component is unclear.
Front-only or front-and-rear: which job are you solving?
A front camera records the scene ahead. That can be enough if your priority is a simpler setup and you do not need a second viewpoint. A front-and-rear kit adds a different angle, but also adds hardware to mount and route through the vehicle. This is a camera-coverage decision, not a claim that any option prevents a crash or substitutes for the TANK 500's factory cameras and driver-assistance systems.
For a rear camera, ask where it mounts and how its cable passes from the front unit to the rear opening. The TANK 500's hatch must still open and close without pulling or pinching that cable. The view should remain clear of passengers, cargo and rear-window accessories. If you already have tint, a storage frame or another rear accessory, show the installer those parts before confirming a position. Do not assume the product gallery documents your precise trim.
Is 64 GB automatically better than 32 GB?
At the same recording settings, 64 GB has twice the nominal storage capacity of 32 GB. That does not guarantee twice the usable footage in everyday use. Actual retention depends on how many channels record, the bitrate and codec, loop-recording settings, file system overhead and the capacity actually available to the camera. The listing does not give a verified hours-of-footage figure for each combination, so we will not invent one.
If you need more time to retrieve an incident, consider the larger option, then confirm the card specification and how files are overwritten or protected. If you routinely copy recordings promptly and want the smaller listed option, 32 GB may be sufficient for your own workflow. Ask the seller to confirm whether the memory card is supplied in the selected kit and what type the device accepts.
What must be checked on your TANK 500 before installation?
The catalogue describes a vehicle-specific camera with a housing shown above the mirror, but does not publish a year-by-year fitment chart for every Australian powertrain or grade. Our wider TANK 500 accessories collection currently organises many products under petrol and hybrid groupings. Do not assume that this confirms a new diesel or any particular PHEV fitment. Send the exact model year, grade, powertrain and photos of the mirror shroud and windscreen sensor area.
Ask the installer to confirm four things before removing trim:
- View and mounting. The camera must not obstruct your forward view, mirror adjustment or the view of any factory camera or sensor.
- Power. Confirm the correct supply and fused wiring method for your exact vehicle. Do not assume an advertised recording feature includes a tested parking-mode installation.
- Cable path. Keep wiring away from moving trim, seat belts and airbag deployment areas; plan rear-hatch movement if a second camera is fitted.
- Final checks. Test live recording, playback, time and date, normal vehicle functions and safe opening of the hatch before returning the vehicle to everyday use.
If trim removal or wiring is involved, use a qualified installer familiar with the vehicle. Follow the vehicle handbook and applicable local road-use requirements. We have not tested the kit against the new TANK 500 diesel launch specification, so request an explicit fitment confirmation rather than generalising from another powertrain.
A practical order checklist
Before checkout, send us the product URL, chosen variant, your TANK 500 model year, grade and powertrain, plus clear photos of the mirror housing, windscreen camera/sensor area and intended rear camera position. Ask for a photo or list of the included front unit, rear unit where applicable, cable, mounts and memory card. If parking recording matters, ask what additional hardware, battery protection and installation method are actually supported; the product listing alone is not enough to specify those details.
You can view the current 4K dash-camera options or use our TANK 500 modification guide to plan the camera alongside other cabin and touring accessories. Do not buy an electronics kit solely because the model name matches.
Frequently asked questions
Does the front-only TANK 500 kit include a rear camera?
Not according to the current variant names. Select a front-and-rear configuration and confirm the contents before ordering if rear footage is essential.
Does 64 GB mean a fixed number of recording hours?
No. Channel count, bitrate, loop settings and usable capacity affect actual retention. We have not independently measured this kit's retention time.
Is the camera confirmed for the 2026 TANK 500 diesel or every PHEV grade?
The current listing does not establish that level of variant-specific fitment. Send exact vehicle details and installation-area photos for confirmation.
Can a dash camera replace factory safety systems?
No. Recording footage and helping a driver avoid a collision are different functions. Keep factory cameras, sensors, airbags and driver sightlines unobstructed.
