Unique OEM Accessories (Glove Box Dampener and Honda Dashcam)

[JTSawyer]

Has anyone ever seen / have any experience with the attached official Honda OEM Civic Accessories?

I’ve heard most markets (besides NA… of course) came with front / rear parking sensors, but was shocked to find that Honda made an OEM dashcam! I wonder if this would work on a NA model.

I’ve got a 2021 Honda Civic Touring Sedan (Orchid Pearl White).

I also can’t figure out the purpose of this other one. Just so the glove box slides down gracefully?

Yeah my 2017 Accord coupe has a glove box damper. I had to look up how to disconnect it to drop the glove box all the way to change the cabin filter.

Don't bother with that camera...

eBay reviews of the product reads

"Very unhappy with product ... false advertising
The recording is not smooth. It skips and
the Wi-Fi does not work well, loses connection
and it messes with my phone
and isn't night vision either one
bad sale and very unhappy"

"Simply would not function.
No Wi-Fi. Cheap and useless"

SOUNDS LIKE A WINNER

I looked up the part number to the dash-cam and it's not really populating anywhere except ebay....fake oem?

Dashcams with similar, but not the same, part numbers are shown on the Japanese accessories catalog.

It could be legit, but from a different market?

Is the glovebox damper plug and play for ones that dont come with it?
Or do you need a whole new glovebox as well?

With the research I've done back then, modification is needed, but not on the glove box, but the metal bar behind.
Seeing how much work it takes I suspect I could still be the only FK7 in North America has dampened glovebox o yes, and it should only works for Hatchback or Type R, since the Sedan and Coupe don't have that opening.

Anyone know of a similar catalogue for NA market?
