Hi Everybody! Here is my full review video for this Dashcam ruclips.net/video/vUEsIYEBVck/видео.html Cheers!
So I'm waiting for delivery of a 2023 hyundai elantra dnd I would like to have a wolfbox i07 hardwired for parking mode
The installation is pretty straightforward but I don't want to lose my manufacturer warranty
do you think it's best I talk to the dealership to install it?
@@onthejob9153 Hi ON THE JOB! Most dealerships will not install an aftermarket device into a customers car, but I think It's worth a shot asking. Cheers!
What are your thoughts on Best Buy’s installers? I’ve heard mixed results i was planning on installing this my self before a road trip but perhaps having them do the work is better idk 🤷
@@ls-33wraith33 Hi LS-33wraith! Ah yes while I have never used them, I have heard the same about being a hit or miss. But I kind of think this is something that I'm seeing more often in the car industry. Some places have really experience tenured techs, some that are learning and some that just don't care LOL Which kind of sucks because this can be scary to a customer, not knowing which of the 3 will work on their car (which was one of the reasons I decided to service my cars myself). My best recommendation would be to look up reviews on the particular place your are thinking of having do the install and also confirming that they are insured, licensed and will guarantee the work. Hope this helps, Cheers!

Very good video. Covered all angles. No wasted time on unnecessary commentary. The 'stache is a bonus 😂.
Thank you Norman!
This is a remarkably thorough and well presented tutorial! It is amazing how many people do not understand the significance of orientation of the fuse tap.
Thank you Walter!
@@AlexAutoFun you are most welcome. I believe in acknowledging accuracy. 👍
Thank you very much I had no idea about the importance of correct orientation
@@p.macdermott2490 You're welcome P.Mac, glad to hear it helped. Cheers!
100% agree. Sr. Lives up to his mustache 🎩
Just wanted to say two things: 1, love the 'stash. 2, love that you answer everybody's comments, even months after the post. Thanks for the good and well-delievered info!
You're welcome and thank you Michael!
Very professional, knowledgeable, thorough and helpful. Exactly what i needed to know. Many thks.
You're welcome Paul and Thank you, Cheers!
Excellent video. Be aware that if your vehicle’s fuse block is mounted so the fuses are aimed downward, then over time gravity and road vibration may cause the added fuse adapter to become intermittent. The fix is simple, just push the fuse adaptor so it is again fully seated. But, if you are unaware of this potential problem, discovering it on your own can be challenging.
Thank you Dane! Good input too, here is my other video with the fuse box orientation facing down ruclips.net/video/uZp95NbNlmM/видео.html Cheers!
I always wondered why it would matter which fuse you tap power from, since they're all connected to the same battery and alternator with no filtering or anything like that. Maybe this is the reason. With the added weight, the fuse can randomly pull itself out.
@@micahnightwolfif you have it oriented on the"after fuse" side, then the load from the second fuse is added to the first fuse. If first fuse blows, then dash cam would also lose power even though it has is own fuse.
In that case I would use 3M scotch lock on approximately sized wire and have a fuse holder instead of a fuse tap, my dealer installed seat heater is taping into the factory harness, having access to the vehicle electrical wiring diagram will help you ID the connectors and wiring colors
gravity LOL
You are a born teacher. Relaxed and makes no assumptions that the viewer has any experience already. Perfect! Subbed.
Thank you, and welcome to the channel! 😎
This man has an amazing mustache.
Thank you Bryan!
Yes, but too distracting. Maybe we need to pixelate it.
My initial underlying lizard brain reaction is that I want to catch this big insect 😁
@@ilya__t LOL!
Oh my God, I just noticed there is a man behind that mustache! I was memorized. I also thought, "wow, this mustache has really helpful info on hardwire kits"
I love your videos. You're a natural in front of the camera, and your presentations are always very informative and thorough. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and your time with us.
You're welcome JesusLovesBass and thank you!
All these years installing dash cams or other 12v accessories to the fuse box and I never considered what side of the fuse I should be taking power from. Thank you for the video.
You're welcome! Same here, I'm always learning something new! lol Cheers!
Alex, There's never been a more complete tutorial in the world!👍👍
Thank you so much for explaining things in a way that makes sense and is easy to understand for someone who is just starting out.
I may be exaggerating a bit, but your explanations are easier to understand than those in my native language.👏👏
Thank you Bud! 😀
Superb video , clear explanation. Never knew there was a right and wrong way to put piggy back holder in for the power . Thanks from the UK . Subscribed 👍
Thank you Roger! and welcome to the channel, Cheers from California!
Thank you sir! I was procrastinating installing a hardwire kit I obtained from Street Guardian. Your fuse tap video led me to this video which provided information I didn't know I needed to know. Just installed it today and it's working perfectly. Well done, thanks again, and be well!
Very good explanation. The bit of positioning your fuse tap correctly with the power supply is something most videos dont have. Its informative and makes the installation safer. Thank you !
You're welcome Sanjeev and thank you!
Yes, thank you. Most of these kits don't mention this in the instructions either or not explained well due to poor translation of the instructions.
Why does it matter? If it's constant then both sides are constant and if the first pops then the circuit is broken so that spot won't work anyways?
Thank you! You made this much easier than it would have been otherwise. Everything is working for my 2023 Tacoma.
You're welcome!
Just came across your video...the pace you speak and the knowledge you have has really helped me even BEFORE I try this on my car. Hoping to use your advice tomorrow. Thank you!
You're welcome and thank you Leon!
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I never considered hardwiring my dash cam until I found this video. Now I think I’ll give it a try.
You're welcome Jack! Glad to hear it helped, Cheers!
Super helpful for a guy who is not a car electrician. Really appreciate the time in recording this video.
You're Chad and thank you!
Thank u my friend , you make my installation easy! The difficult part was hiding all the extra wire. I tucked the majority for both wires under plastic door window,ceiling support plastic cover at the window. Cadillac Escalade pickup truck.understanding proper placement of the 2 fuses was critical info from you, Thanks
You're welcome Paul! Yeah definitely hiding a securing all the extra cable sometimes takes longer than doing the connections LOL Cheers!
Brother that stache is amazing! Thanks for the video as well
You're welcome and thank you Larry, Cheers!
This is an amazing video to understand the ACC and find the correct fuse box's tap location and the correct orientation of the fuse tap.
Thanks Mehmet, Cheers!
Wow what a great informative video. I watched 6 videos and all 6 combined didn’t cover as much as this guy did. I needed to understand the concept behind the installation. Other videos did a “look at me I have a camera and know how to install a camera in 4min”. This cool dude explained who, what, where and why. I’m definitely saving this video. 🙏🏼
Thank you Erik!
Thanks for your very detailed and informative video. Video confirms fuse position is critical to avoid potentially damaging electrical components. I have a hardwire kit which is required for “parking monitoring “ with my dashcam. I’ll watch your video several more times before choosing to install the kit myself or seek a professional installer. Thanks again and nice handlebar moustache. 😎
You're welcome and thank you!
Shouldn't matter if you use a random fuse, so long as the tap is in the correct orientation. The fuse box should be able to handle well over 30 amps per slot. The issue comes when you install the fuse tap upside down. In the wrong orientation, the load is run through the original fuse (rather than the add on fuse). Which could blow it out. If you happen to do this on a lightweight circuit with 2 amp wiring and run a 15 amp compressor off of it, they 2 amp wiring/circuitry is done.
That was as clear as can be. Very helpful. Thank you!
You're welcome meinasalon and thanks!
I have been watching your dash cam instructions and videos and I feel SO much better about doing this myself. Your instructions are so logical and clear. Easy to follow. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
You're welcome and thank you Cara! 😊
Really nicely done. Answered hard questions re power on empty fuse slots, power only on one blade taps, AND MOST DIFFICULT (for me) which ACC and BATT fuses were best to tap! PLUS: I did NOT have to play at 2x speed. I subscribed!
Thank you Michael and welcome to the channel!
Good info for the people who pull just any old fuse and don’t know and pretty well explained as well
Thank you John, Cheers!
First of all, thank you for your video.
You're right about newer car's electrical system being sensitive with detecting after-market device. I bought my daughter a 2022 Sonata last year (2022) and I installed the Viofo A229 Duo with the HK4 Acc Hardwire kit. After a few days of the install, my daughter told me that something was going on with her car displaying some kind of electrical discharge message.
The message "BATTERY DISCHARGING DUE TO EXTERNAL ELECTRICAL DEVICES" would appear on her instrument panel for a few seconds and then disappear shortly after starting her car.
At first, I didn't think it was the dashcam because I was certain I installed it correctly. But to make sure, I uninstalled her dashcam (I only removed the hardwire connections and replaced the original fuses). Then I had her drive her car for about a week to see if the message popped up again. To my surprise, the "battery discharging" message stopped popping up!
So I rechecked all the fuses I was using the made sure the fuse prongs were installed in the right manner and I installed the hardwire again. The camera is working as it should but, I guess these newer cars detects the dashcam hardwire kit as discharging the battery. 🤔
Just weird I guess. Thanks again for this video. 👍
Hi Erick! good find! yep exactly and it seems to vary from car Brand to car brand how sensitive they are. On the C7 Corvette hardwiring radar detectors would lead to damaging the auto-dimming side mirror renderings them dim and full of squiggly lines. Pretty crazy uh! Cheers!
Another ting you can do, but its way more work, is adding terminals to the empty fuse spots,. You can get them from the dealership (they cost pretty much nothing). They are similar to a faston terminal, but have added tabs to fit into the fuse holder's body.
You have to read your car's schematic to know where you can take power from. Usually right behind the fuse block there are severall screw terminals where you can get power from (and many times, you will have both the battery direct, and switched accesory)
Hi Javitopia! Yep that is another way of doing it. Cheers!
Your video made me save 200$ to pay install to a garage thank you
You're welcome Ameer!
Thanks for the heads up on the outside blade going to the power side in the fuse box. Never knew that.
You're welcome!
Excellent video with clear instructions and explanations. Thankyou
You're welcome Manoj and thanks!
you can also install an auxiliary fuse block for constant power and keyed power, with keyed power being supplied from battery power via a relay that activates when the key is in accessory or run position, pretty good information, and always a good idea to RTFM when you're installing any kind of hard wire setup for a radar detector or dashcam, also in a pinch, if you have an aftermarket sterio installed, you can borrow an ignition, ground, and battery constant from the back of a radio, but that can be a little more involved than a fuse tap and some wire routing
Hi Fox! good input! definitely there is one more than on way to skin a horse LOL Cheers!
Dude I just spent 30 mins looking for a non powered fuse this saves me so much more time lol my car either is constantly powered or not at all ever
I just realized that after 50 years of tapping into my vehicle fuse boxs for various reasons I'm lucky nothing blew or caught fire. I suppose the wrapping of aluminum foil around the fuze is a bad idea also, great video thankyou.
You're welcome and thank you Sky!

Thank you DODO! 😊
G'day from Australia. I'm a backyard mechanic/electrician, and your explanation is a great tutorial. Cheers, mate.
Thanks Brad and Cheers from California!
Thank you for this tutorial. I just bought a new (to me) truck and need to install the camera system for it and this video put a lot of my anxiety at ease. Again thank you
You're welcome and congrats on your new Truck, Cheers!
Great tutorial. I'd like to add that it's always good to make sure whenever you're tapping into an existing fuse block circuit to make sure your amperage draw for the new device isn't larger than what the existing wire coming into the back of the fuse block can handle. I've seen some installs where someone will add a power point for example drawing big amps in addition to what's already in there stock and maybe it's only a 14 gauge wire and it can't handle the extra power. I've seen melted wires and other issues. In most cases the existing circuit wiring is larger enough to handle additional capacity but not always. Especially in older vehicles. Just something to keep in mind.
Thanks Thomas! Ah yep great tip! I definitely recommend confirming with the car's service manual and wiring schematics to determine if those fuse locations are safe or not and if they can handle the additional load. Cheers!
How do you check if they can handle additional load? I’m looking at installing on my 2012 corolla. My low voltage comes regular like what you have in the video. Do I need to get the double fuse wiring?
@oluwaseyiadediran Hi Oluwaseyi! Your installer will look at the car's service manual and wiring schematics to determine the current load (based on what systems are running on a particular circuit) then take into account the wiring size (AWG) and an add a safety factor to determine available power on a circuit. At that point the installer can compare that amount to the current requirements of the hardwire kit being installed to determine if it will be able to be installed without exceeding the available current capacity on the circuit in question. Regarding Functional Fuse Taps, they are only needed on certain occasions, here is my video where I explain fuse taps in detail ruclips.net/video/Qzw9yUYN7zo/видео.html Hope this helps, Cheers!
@@oluwaseyiadediranIn most cases you'll be fine. A dash camera doesn't use a lot of power. As long as you follow his advice and don't tap into vital car electrical components you'll be safe. But as an example the power mirror fuse location he's using most likely is on a circuit that can't handle a high amperage draw, since the fuse is only 2 amps. You would never want to add a cigarette lighter or power point here for example because you'll most likely overload the wiring. But he's just using it as an accessory power tap that just basically acts as an on/off switch ( trigger) for the camera. It won't draw much power. The main power that actually powers the camera will come from the higher amperage fuse which is the cigarette lighter one that he's using. That wiring can handle a higher amperage draw. That's why it's safe. Cigarette lighters or power points are always good places to tap into because the wiring gauge is thicker to handle heavier loads. That's why most aftermarket accessories plug into these ports. LED lights are also very low draw components that won't cause problems. A good way to be safe is to see the size of the fuse in the circuit you're tapping into. Let's say it's 10 amp. That means you can safely use any devices that draw that much power in total or less on that circuit. That means whatever you have plugged into the cigarette lighter port and whatever new device you're adding to that circuit really shouldn't surpass 10 amps. Any device you want to install will have their amp rating listed in the instructions or on the device. Like I said, just follow his tutorial and you'll be fine.
Wow. You are so smart captain obvious
One thing to be aware of. When I installed my dashcam in my Skoda Karoq, I had to unplug the switch which disables the passenger airbag, which was on the fuse cover.
I turned the ignition on as part of testing, which flagged an airbag error. When I had reconnected everything, the airbag error persisted and couldn't be cleared with an ignition recycle.
This type of fault can only be cleared with the correct type of ODB computer, which a local garage will have, so this is an inconvenience.
I managed to find something called ODBEleven, which allowed me to do this myself via smartphone.
I think the general rule is, if you unplug anything as part of your install, don't start the ignition until everything is plugged back in again.
Goo Tip Paul! That is also one of the reasons (beside safety) I disconnect the vehicles battery when working on it. I know it may seem like a hassle but can prevent an accident and also prevent setting an error code if disconnecting things while the car has power. Cheers!
This is the best tutorial I have seen on RUclips regarding dash cams. Sir I Salute You !
Thank you Stendec Strecher!
Your videos are the gold standard in safely hooking up devices in the car. Great work Sir.

You sir have mastered your art. I have never seen a tutorial this direct, informative and to the point. Thank you!
You're welcome and thank you themanpreetgill!
These were the best instructions out there. In my case I just needed a way to translate that pen light into ways to check the same thing with a multimeter: DC voltage setting(checking for ~12V - that would depend on car battery), black probe to ground(touching the "door striker plate") and the red probe into the fusebox contacts.
My fuses were inverted, one with the positive side on top and the other on the bottom, so good thing I checked and didn't assume anything.
Thank you Lilian!
I always find your videos helpful and accurate. Thank you.👍
You're welcome Thomas and thank you!
Thanks Bigote, You helped me out A Lot. Saludos from NYC Bro 🤗👊🏼
The one originsl kit I had in the car blew out, had to replace it, but this time did it right with the fuse adaptors, I just had to remove the old kit and re install the new kit and made sure I used fuses that were not important either. everything came out great.

You're welcome G DUB and thank you!
Hi, thanks for the helpful vid. You are one of the few that talk about the power/hot side of the fuse slot. Most videos just wack in the fuse tap without going into any details except picking the acc/batt fuses. In my Golf mk7 fuse box, there are a number of empty fuse slots that appear to have a metal slot for taking one side of a fuse. If I'm lucky, these could be the ideal slots to use. Wired with power but not already in use for something critical. (Next step would be to see which ones are acc and which one is batt.) Went to a car mechanic to wire up my two channel Viofo A129 duo. They wired it into the obd2 port. It was always powered on and the controls on the dashcam didn't work. I asked them to wire into the fuse box but instead, they completely removed all the wiring can camera cables. Now i'm back to square 1.
Hi Andrew! yeah if I do the OBD2 port method I do it with this adapter ruclips.net/video/YEklm9V6xYE/видео.html but while I can use it to monitor my car while parked, it won't enable true parking mode, that definitely requires hardwire. Hope you get yours working soon Bud, Cheers!
Outstanding video! You cleared up every question I had about the hardwire installation for my dashcam.
Thank you Jim!
THANK YOU!! I will use an installer but at least I won’t go in blind and can have a halfway decent conversation about the process.
You're welcome Robert!

Back in the day, we used to jam the bare power wire in with a fuse when adding an accessory. Those piggyback fuses are nice.
LOL! Yeah I remember seeing that method back in the day, but yeah the fuse taps certainly inspire a lot more confidence, Cheers lavapix!
Thanks, this helped me a great deal! A much cleaner install than just plugging into the cigarette lighter.👍

I ordered one of the hardware kit so I just ordered mine to hook up on my 2001 Honda CRV. Thanks for this video
You're welcome friend!
@@AlexAutoFun do you know where the appropriate place would be to put it in the fuse and which one would be the right one? I can’t find a fuse diagram to see where to put it at
Hi Rails! The same techniques shown on this video to find ACC, BATT and GND can be applied to any vehicle including the CRV. However I strongly recommend profession installation due to the dangers mentioned on this video if erroneously tapping a critical system of the vehicle and the dangers involved with air bags as explained in my follow up video showing the rest of the install ruclips.net/video/uZp95NbNlmM/видео.html Cheers!
This video is so helpful, just find this video right before installing a camera on my car

You're welcome Bud, glad to hear it helped. Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun Dude you are the MAN! The least I could do was saying thankyou. BTW!!!!!!! I am today years old that I realized that you could probe the fuses while still installed using the tiny holes in the back of those fuses!!!! My life is forever changed!!!!!!! I'll go out on a limb here and say that almost NOBODY knows this. And even though this wasnt mentioned, I saw you doing this in the video and about dropped my multimeter!!!!! Damn @AlexAutoFun to the rescue!!! Thanks x10000!!!!!
You're welcome friend! 🍻@@bombswabs3041
Another good explanation. What about using an unused fuse slot with existing ACC or constant power. Thanks for your feedback
Thank you Maverick! ah yes sometimes I have used an unused spot (which is actually my prefer way of doing it) here is my video showing the install into a unused spot ruclips.net/video/uZp95NbNlmM/видео.html Cheers!

You're welcome Gary and thank you!
This is the clearest video I've seen on installing a dash cam hardware kit. One question, though: How to run the wires from inside the cabin to a fuse box in the engine compartment??
Thanks Rudy! Ah yes wiring to a fuse box in the engine compartment it's same process as if it was on the inside, there is only one additional step. The cable for the hardwire kit has to be brought into the car via a hole in the firewall. Sometimes there are existing unused holes with a grommet or a hole with a grommet with existing cables going thru the firewall. Most installers will use that same hole to route the hardwire kit cable into the inside of the car (my preferred method) but there are also installers that will drill a new hole for the hardwire kit cable instead of using an existing hole (I also done it but I prefer to just use an existing hole to reduce labor). Hope this helps, Cheers!
Thank you so much!! I’m not the brightest bulb in the box so I’m continually amazed by what I don’t know!!! 🤷
