Welcome to the forum, deanceran. You'll find this a great place for questions and answers. I've got a 2023 Niro EX that I couldn't be happier with. Hope yours is just as good.

504k miles! WOW! Congrats on your new purchase, and I think you'll be very happy with the improved fuel economy.

 

WOW, that is some major miles.
Did your Forte still have original engine?

 

Congrats and welcome.

 

It would be awesome if you can post some pics.

 

Just got my 2025 Niro EX yesterday in Steel Grey. Such a smooth ride. Had a 21 Chevy Trax. This is my first Kia (and my first non-GM vehicle).
What color did you get?

 

We just bought a 2025 KIA Niro (our second Niro, the first was a 2017). I'm thinking of adding a dashcam but would like to know if there is a way that the existing rearview camera for driving in reverse can be integrated into a forward looking dashcam so that it would record from both the new forsard looking dascam and also from the existing review camera over the license plate?

 

I have not heard of any dashcam being able to use a factory backup camera for that purpose. Don't forget that the backup camera is designed to only view the area immediately behind the car and has a downward view. A rear facing camera that wants to record the entire area behind the car will be aimed higher and have a longer point of view. It would likely do a better job at night, since the factory backup camera is expecting the reverse lights to be on, while a dashcam would be better under low light conditions.
