THANK YOU VERY MUCH I WAS CONFUSED ON WHERE TO PUT THE FUSE.
You're welcome King General! Glad to hear it helped, Cheers!
Absolutely brilliant video and narration. Thank you for sharing.
You're welcome Maestro IT Solutions and thank you!
Very well done! Easy explanation!
Thank you MrEye4get!
I would like to applaud you for this video as you are very good at explaining each part and reasoning the process of the installation ,I'd like to know if wiring kit is coming with the dash cam or must purchase separately, if so how much is for the kit. cheers
Thank you Max! Ah yes most of the time the hard wire kits come separately, I put the link to the kit in the video description. Hope this helps, Cheers!
Well put video! Very informative!
Thank you Sam!
Excellent video!! Thank you!!
You're welcome Randal!
Hi, I installed the hardwire kit but can’t get the camera to record when in parking. The camera is set in parking timelaps and the hardwirekit is correctly wired, I can see a red led light inside the box when I turn the switch off.
Hi Cesar! When correctly hardwired the dash cam will turn off and enter park mode (if enabled in the dash cam's setting) when the car is off. I would have the installer check all the connections (ACC, BATT & GND) to confirm that they connected to the correct locations for ACC and BATT (I seen cases where the dash cam stays on constantly if ACC and BATT are reversed or connected to the incorrect locations that does not provide power at the correct time for both ACC and BATT) Here is my follow up detailed hardwire install if you want to see that process ruclips.net/video/K2iKXj82354/видео.html Cheers!
How do you know which side of the hardwire fuse tap is the power side... Left or right
Hi Ariane! Ah good question, here is my follow up video where I show how to identify the correct side ruclips.net/video/K2iKXj82354/видео.html Cheers!
thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you👋👋👋
You're welcome friend!
Can I use the venture cable that is directly connected to the OBD to set up parking mode on Azdome 580?
Hi Bayisa! While I may be possible to use a different power adapter on a dash cam, I usually recommend sticking to the matching power adapter for the dash cam (brand matching) to ensure that there are no functional issues or issues with warranty coverage. Here is my follow up video ruclips.net/video/Yky9_tTvwMc/видео.html where I explain how hardwire kits work and the different features to look for. Cheers!
Hi im confused how to enable the parking mode. Should i use ACC or BAT? or they work the same because right now i connect my cam to BAT but when i turn off my engine i manually turn off also the DashCam will it still record any collision? Thanks 🙏
Hi Medbox! Most dash cams that require a 3 lead hardwire kit will usually need all 3 wires to be connected in order for the dash cam to work correctly. Here is my follow up video where I cover how I find ACC and BATT on any car ruclips.net/video/K2iKXj82354/видео.html However I strongly recommend profession installation due to the dangers mentioned on that video if erroneously tapping a critical system of the vehicle and the dangers involved with air bags mentioned on this video ruclips.net/video/uZp95NbNlmM/видео.html Cheers!
Great video! keep it up
Thank you!
Hi, today I noticed that the rear camera (video) is facing the opposite way, it was fine all the time, but now it's like this. Does anyone have any experience with this? I use Azdome m300s. Thank you
Hi A! That is strange, I would recommend contacting Azdome for help, hopefully you will have better luck than me as far as getting a hold of them I have not been able to do so ugh (My Azdome dash cam has started to malfunction, video on this coming) Cheers!
Hi. Dumb question but does this mean that the dashcam can work like it was hardwired if I got this instead? TIA

Hi K! Unfortunately I have not tested the Azdome OBD adaptor so I can't comment on how it works or how it performs. I would recommend contacting Azdome for help, hopefully you will have better luck than me as far as getting a hold of them I have not been able to do so ugh (My Azdome dash cam has started to malfunction, video on this coming) Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun thanks as always!
i’ve installed the hardwire kit, and set the parking mode to time lapse 1fps. however, after turning on my car again there aren’t any videos saved in the parking category
Hi Brandon! I'm not sure what dash cam you are using but when correctly hardwired the screen will turn off and the dash cam will enter park mode (if enabled in the dash cam setting) when the car is off. I would have the installer check all the connections (ACC, BATT & GND) to confirm that they connected to the correct locations for ACC and BATT (I seen cases where the dash cam stays on constantly if ACC and BATT are reversed or connected to the incorrect locations that does not provide power at the correct time for both ACC and BATT) Here is my follow up detailed hardwire install if you want to see that process ruclips.net/video/K2iKXj82354/видео.html Cheers!
If I bought a hard wire kit that only has an ACC connector with ground and not a BAT connector. Is this a danger to install. Should I get a hard wire kit with both acc and bat for my dash cam?
Hi Todd! Ah yes the 2 lead hardwire kits, yeah those are not as common but yes install is same but instead of connecting 3 wires only 2 wires are connected (refer to the instructions of the kit to determine the function of the 2 wires, most use GND and ACC and some use GND and BATT). Here is my hardwire video where I cover 2 lead and 3 lead hardwire kits ruclips.net/video/Yky9_tTvwMc/видео.html and here is my follow up video showing the hardwire install process ruclips.net/video/K2iKXj82354/видео.html Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun Gracias Amigo! Love all your videos.
You're welcome Amigo! Cheers!@@Xtafen
Just installed it yey!
hardwired it in empty BAT and ACC spots which is good!
Set the low voltage cut-off to the highest and safest 12.4 and hope the quality of the voltage box is good.
Compared to other brands, do you think the AZdome hardwire kit is good? thanks
Hi AA! An normally I haven't seen much difference as far as performance, but what I do see if the different features some have and some don't, here is my video where I cover those differences ruclips.net/video/Yky9_tTvwMc/видео.html Cheers!
Question: is it okay to hard wire just the accessories and ground? I jist don't want my battery to be drained.
HI Mej! Most dash cams that require a 3 lead hardwire kit will usually need all 3 wires to be connected in order for the dash cam to work correctly. What I recommend when someone does not need park monitoring, is just to turn it off in the settings menu (most dash cams will let you turn off this feature). Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun thank you for respoding.
@@mejmaharot9306 You're welcome!
Nice. Well, I cannot select a dash cam mirror until you find us the perfect choice ;-)
Seriously, I'm waiting to find a mirror with just the right combination of features. However, I currently have my dash torn apart for other reasons, so I figured this would be a good time to install a hard wire kit for my future dash cam mirror. Am I correct that they probably all could use the same generic wiring?
Is there a step-down device from the car wiring to USB that you would recommend, maybe even the one in this kit? I'd like to get a good step-down device because I want it to be hidden well behind the dash.
I was thinking of using a USB C cable to future proof it, and then use a short adapter to micro at the end.
Do these dash cams have a way to turn them on without having the key in ACC or would I need to wire up a switch if I wanted to do that?
I'd like to be able to sit in the car with the ACC off and still get a good picture of what's behind me. I'll just have to remember to turn it off when I get out.
Hi Tayler! ah I typically recommend sticking with the hardwire specified for your dash cam here is a video where I go more into detail ruclips.net/video/Yky9_tTvwMc/видео.html including the hardwire features you want to look for. Regarding keeping power on all the time, it can be done by connecting ACC to the BAT spot. But while you could turn off the dash cam via it's power button, the dash cam will not enter parking mode since it cannot detect when the car is turned off (since ACC is not connected to ACC) Hope this helps, Cheers!
Perfect!!!!!!
The fuses they come with the kit are 10amp, and I have acc and bat empty spots already, so my question is: can I use a 10amp fuse in an empty bat spot?
Hi! The current load that a particular circuit can handle will depend on the circuit's wiring, if they circuit is sharing it's load capacity with another circuit and if it's feeding from another bus. Typically an installer can reference the car's service manual and wiring schematics to determine available load capacity. But yes my preference is to use an empty spot, you can see an example of that on my install video here ruclips.net/video/uZp95NbNlmM/видео.html and here is my other video where I cover ACC and BATT locations in more detail ruclips.net/video/K2iKXj82354/видео.html Cheers!
Hello, thank you for making this video. Very helpfull. I have a question : I have a car with 12V battery. Can you tell me which button doI have to put it down? I would l like to record by night as parking mode. I imagine it drain the battery. So which switch do I have to put it down to prevent drain battery and no start engine next day ? Thank you in advance for you 😊response
Hi @XavierPingot! Ah yes, the low voltage cut off settings (switches) are explained around the 1:30 mark including the explanation of the battery drain protection. Cheers!
Excelent video, this kit works for de AZDOME M550? Thanks
Thanks Gerardo! Correct this is the kit for the M550 (Link to the kit in the video description) Cheers!
I Installed my hardwire kit for my AZDOME M27 dash cam to enable parking mode, but the camera will not turn on when I simulate a impact by shaking my truck. I have them connected as you have demonstrated.
Hi Pete! the hardwire kit (JYX02) shown on this video is for the M550 dash cam, the correct kit for the M27 is the JYX05 here is the link for it amzn.to/3lIvluH Hope this helps, Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun Thanks for the response, but I do have that hardwire that is required for my dash cam and my camera will not turn on when I shake my truck to simulate a crash even though parking mode is on the unit.
@@petelopez5826 Hi Pete! oh wow, I would recommend having your installer check that the hardwire was installed correctly and nothing has come loose, here is my video showing how I check ACC and BATT connections ruclips.net/video/K2iKXj82354/видео.html if you want to see what that process looks like. Also I would double check the settings of the dash cam to confirm parking mode is enabled and the sensitivity of the G-Sensor for parking mode or if it's set to time lapse or motion detection (unfortunately I have not reviewed the M27 so I'm not sure which one it supports) Lastly I would also recommend contacting Azdome for technical support, they may be able to walk you thru the troubleshooting process. Hope this helps, Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun I installed it myself and it was pretty easy. Everything is correct on on my F150. Parking mode is enabled so I don’t know what could be wrong unless the unit is defective. I have my constant power red wire connected to 7.5a fuse and my acc connection to a 5A fuse. I might try and rewire them to another fuse to see if it works.
@@petelopez5826 Ah I got you, yes if the installation is correct and the dash cam settings are correct it is possible that you may have a faulty hardwire kit. Cheers!
Hi, can you explain ho to upgrade the firmware of the azdom m550 pro? Thanks
Hi Gerardo! I usually don't recommend updating the firmware unless directed by tech support to do so or if you are willing to accept the the risks involved with updating it. If something goes wrong during the upgrade, you can potentially turn your dash cam into a brick (it has even happened to me LOL). Firmware updates for dash cams are not like the App updates we get on our phones (where we are constantly updating it). The firmware updates are on the Azdome website (link to the website in the video description) but again I would be extremely careful if attempting this. Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun thanks, i keep the original firmware then
@@AlexAutoFun I follow the steps from your video to install the hardwire cable and was succesfull
Glad to hear your are all up and working and congrats and your new dash cam setup Gerardo, Cheers!@@gebarr474
First I would like to thank you for this videos you are great at explaining all the process
And I have a question I'm installing this kit on a Mazda 3 2010 and I'm a bit confused on which battery voltage should I select because I see there are 4 different choices and I'm sure which one?
You're welcome Eddie! ah yes I cover the actual installation in more detail on this video ruclips.net/video/K2iKXj82354/видео.html Remember most of this adapters only support 12v systems (and a few support 24v). Hope this helps, Cheers!
For the battery drain protection on this kit, if I want the cam to stay on the longest, how long does it stay on? Should I just use the 12.4V or 11.8V switch? Are there that much differences on how long the cam will stay on after the car is completely off? I want the best out of the parking monitor. Thoughts?
Hi Ike! Ah good question, that would heavily will depend on the car's battery (age, health condition and state of charge) On top of that you also want to take in consideration any parasitic draw from other items on the vehicle that use power when the car is off. This is specially common on newer vehicles. For example I have an older Jeep that can sits for months a time with little to no battery draw, then I have a 2017 car that will almost completely drain my battery in a few weeks if the car is not used. And here is the battery tester I use ruclips.net/video/kCNrfa8RUKU/видео.html if you want to test your battery for capacity and health, it can also perform a parasitic draw test if needed. Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFunExcellent. I will use that tool for sure. Thank you!
You're welcome!@@unknown183
If I only want power when the car is running, is it possible to not connect the BAT wire?
Hi _VoidNexus! Most dash cams that require a 3 lead hardwire kit will usually need all 3 wires to be connected in order for the kit to turn on. And here is my introduction to hardwire kits video ruclips.net/video/Yky9_tTvwMc/видео.html showing the differences between them. Hope this helps, Cheers!
Muito bom
Hi if there's a available fuse slot can I tap? I tester it and has power?
Hi Jay! Here is my follow up video where I cover that in more detail ruclips.net/video/K2iKXj82354/видео.html including how I find ACC and BATT in any vehicle. Cheers!
Hi, great video, like all the others. I wonder if you have testet also Azdome Mirror’s, as they are very popular as well…?
Thanks Guido! Ah yes nope unfortunately I have not reviewed the Azdome mirror dash cam so I can't comment on it's performance, but I will see if we can add the to the list of dash cams to review (list is getting longer by the day! LoL) Cheers!
Hi, Great video. In my car i found Cig fuse with 15a blue fuse. So i Can put my kit fuse first and then put 15a with it.
Is it safe?
Hi Dishant! ah remember when using functional fuse taps, the fuse amp rating of the hardwire kit (top position) is independent of the fuse amp rating that is being removed from the vehicle and installed in the bottom position. Here is another video where I explain this in more detail ruclips.net/video/K2iKXj82354/видео.html Hope this helps, Cheers!
I want to cut the power when it go to 12.2v do i need to push it down or how?
Hi! Yes some hardwire kits are adjustable, here is my video where I cover this in more details ruclips.net/video/Yky9_tTvwMc/видео.html Cheers!
So I don’t have to crimp the wires with this kit?
Hi @jose20091323! Correct, this kit is one of the few that is ready to be installed without crimping or soldering. Hope this helps, Cheers!
Hello
Quick question: I'm planning to buy a Blueskysea 4K 2-ch dash cam. Is it ok if I buy this HWK for this camera? (I mean the JYX04 version, which is Micro usb). I like it because it has a voltage selector.
Or do you recommend a better option for that camera?
Hi Eric! While I have done that in the past (used a different hardwire kit on a dash cam) I usually recommend sticking to the matching hard wire for the dash cam (brand matching) to ensure that there are no functional issues or issues with warranty coverage. Hope this helps, Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun Thanks man!
@@wellthatwasfun You're welcome!
what is this hard wire kit?
Hi Wesley! Ah yes here is my video ruclips.net/video/Yky9_tTvwMc/видео.html where I explain what a hardwire kit is, how it works and the different features to look for when buying one. Cheers!
I’ve hardwired my dash cam but for parking mode to work I need to turn the car off and on twice for parking mode to enter. If I just leave the dash cam with ignition off first time it just stops recording and camera just still got power. Anyone had any issues like this or any suggestions?
Hi Judah! Correct, when correctly hardwired the screen will turn off and the dash cam will enter park mode (if enabled in the dash cam setting) when the car is off. I would have the installer check all the connections (ACC, BATT & GND) to confirm that they connected to the correct locations for ACC and BATT (I seen cases where the dash cam stays on constantly if ACC and BATT are reversed or connected to the incorrect locations that does not provide power at the correct time for both ACC and BATT) Here is my follow up detailed hardwire install if you want to see that process ruclips.net/video/K2iKXj82354/видео.html Cheers!
A quale fusibile bisogna attaccarlo nella scatola dei fusibili??
Hi Mirko! ah yes here is my other video where I show how it's connected the fuse box of my car ruclips.net/video/K2iKXj82354/видео.html Hope this helps, Cheers!
Hello...I have a Azdome M550. Whats the best kit to use a power bank?
Hi Jermaine! Ah yes some people do run their dash cams off a battery pack instead of hardwire kit (but remember a battery pack will not enable true park mode). However I prefer a normal cigarette lighter adapter or hardwire kit since here in California we experience really hot temperatures which I would not want to subject the Li-ion battery to, that and the potential for a run away event (fire) during charging or discharging inside the car. Here is an example of a internal dash cam battery and what the sun did to it ruclips.net/video/HW8jqbl_ayU/видео.html Hope this helps, Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun Thanks.
@@jermainemattis4926 You're welcome!
Hi, Is there any specific amp for the ACC and BAT fuse, I’ve found two spare fuses in my car fuse box with 5amp. Does that work for my dashcam? Its an AZDOME M550
Hi Ambili! The Amp Rating for the hardwire kit (installed upper portion of the fuse tap) is independent of the amperage of the car fuse that was originally installed (which now goes into the lower portion of the fuse tap). Here is my fuse tap install video that may help explain this better ruclips.net/video/K2iKXj82354/видео.html showing how I find ACC and BAT. Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun Hi. I have hardwire kit without upper fuse and my question is how to choose which fuse(AMP) should I install in the upper space?? (5, 10, 20 AMP) ??
Hi Rock! The Amp rating of the fuse for the hardwire kit is determined by the hardwire kit being used (some kits have higher Amp requirements and some have lower amp draw). Here is my other video ruclips.net/video/Yky9_tTvwMc/видео.html where I explain how hardwire kits work and the different features to look (including amperage) for. Cheers!
Does the fuses have to be the same Amps?
Hi Romeo! not necessarily, the Amp Rating for the hardwire kit (installed upper portion of the fuse tap) is independent of the amperage of the fuse originally installed in the lower portion of the fuse tap. (And to determine the actual amperage that a particular electrical bus can carry we can look at the electrical schematics of the vehicle to check the wire gauge, current loads and determine a total working load) Here is another video that may help explain this better ruclips.net/video/K2iKXj82354/видео.html showing how I find ACC and BAT. Cheers!
Thank you very helpful
You're welcome James!
Pls make a actual video of parking mode and how it works
Hi Roanna! How parking mode works will vary depending on which dash cam you are using, the most common methods are: standard G-Sensor detection, buffered parking mode, Time Lapse, Continuous Recording, Low Bit Recording, motion detection, proximity detection etc. I am working a video explaining each mode, stay tuned. Hope this helps, Cheers!
Good evning Did it work for M 330 ?
Hi Rollaka! I put the link to the M300 hardwire kit in the video description. Cheers!
