Nice install!! I really enjoyed it, be careful with harness grommet in the rear door I break mine while i install my dashcam and i had to replace it due the water leaking.
would there be any chance you can share a virtual map that shows how you route the rear dash camera cable to the front? have been trying to run a cable feeder but feeling so many obstacles along the way. thanks heaps!
Hey there, thanks for watching. I do t have access to such tools unfortunately. I will try and get a couple of images and a bit of a visual guide for you. Every make and model are slightly different and the options vary, ie sunroofs and roof mount monitors. It may be easier to send the cable down close to the side to bypass these fixtures. There are ribs across the car that the top roof skin is bonded to. You need to go under those. A small bend downwards on the end of the tongue can aid in negotiating these areas. I have another dash cam video being edited now on a Ford Focus with different options.
Hey nice explanation but can you tell me about the fuses, I got a bmw and it’s kinda a nightmare 🤕 should per example take my 20 fuse in place put it the adapter with another 20 fuse too or just put the 20 fuse alone on the adapter ?
The kit I used came with a 3A fuse for the dash camera power, then you just put the fuse that was removed for the fuse tap into the tap to power the original circuit with the original protection. Using larger fuses can cause over current potential and possibly melt the wiring.
