Just purchased my nextbase 320XR and hardwire kit for our new mk7 astra normally just use the cigarette port in previous cars, great tutorial mate cheers
Very good guide but the fuse tap is upside down , you need to probe the fuse hole to find the live feed which is the top hole. A slot is needed in the plastic trim below the fuse to fit the fuse tap correctly
yes its fuse piggyback pointing downwards in Astra K! You can test by leaving out the 20amp main fuse and plugging in with only the new accessory fuse in the piggyback, if dashcam still powers all good, if dashcam dead its the wrong way around!! Whilst the circuit it still protected with piggyback pointing upwards like in video that would mean you are running the dashcam effectively through both fuses which is not the correct way@@Goldylocksss
Hi. Thanks I was able to wire mine in. I would just like to note for some people. On my car and it may be the same for you. When i switched my ignition off the 12v didnt cut off immediately. I had to give it a second
Be warned many taxi driver have ask this to be done, even though the description says the camera will cut off when the battery drops low they sometimes don’t. Over the years I have had more people complain they got stranded with a flat battery than I care to recall. The cams are not designed to be surveillance cameras and as such a switched and a permanent would be recommended. Anyway your call and good luck with the install.
Great tutorial, thanks. I followed the instructions but with my car having start/stop, every time the engine stops, the dash cam goes off. Is there anyway to stop this happening?
You will need to find the fuse for a circuit that stays on with stop start but goes off with ignition such as heater circuit. Your heater should stay on when stop start kicks in.
Hi i have a Fiat500x 2016 i have a Nextbase 320XR bundle to fit.can you instruct me on how to hardwire and fir front and rear camera please. I was going to get Halfords to fit but they tell me the fuse box says dealer access so they will not touch it in case as regards to the hardwire. I have no idea myself but saw your RUclips hope to hear from you thanks
hi i bought the dashcam but needs to be live all the time as someone is damaging my car by scratching it trying to get them on camera doing this will it drain the battery if wired on all the time cheers in advance any suggestions astra 2019
You would need to use a constant live such as the central locking circuit, this stays live all the time. To be aware that although most camera are supposed to shut off if they detect low voltage most don’t and so I’ve seen a lot of people with a flat battery when wired in this way. Also worth noting is that a dash cam is not a surveillance camera so is not designed to be on 24hrs a day 365 days a year.
Absolutely perfect, many thanks 😊 fitted mine in about 5 minutes longer than the video with pauses and rewinds
Amazing guide. Done it in no time. I have managed to put my excess cable under glove box on top of some cover.Really neat and tidy.

Yep, if the piggyback fuse plug is the wrong way round, the circuit is not protected by the fuse. 👍
VERY important point which should have been covered more fully in the video showing how to test/find correct orientation..😊

nah it fits without cutting up bits if you bend the tail a bit

This is more than helpful - thank you!
I’m going to give it a go, I’m hoping it’s sensor too while ignition is off to record if vandalised or hit while parked.

Great tutorial. Many thanks for this.
good guide in how i can get a switch live for the amp in rhe boot. .
Do you do a video of the 2020 vauxhall Astra estate, it's for a nextbase 622 front cam hard wire kit.
Brilliant instruction. Thanks 🙏
I have a 2007 Corsa. Would this be similar?
Any chance you could advise me on which fuse to use on a 2015 Vauxhall mokka 👍

Brilliant Video. Thanks.
Hi where's best place to connect the earth probe with fuse box being in the middle
Either seat mounting bolt or the very edge of the cigarette lighter socket. Edge is earth and centre pin is live so don’t cross them with the probe.
Nice one
Just what I needed. Thanks!
Thanks man 👍
Can you make rear view camera

BEWARE , Ensure you find which side of the fuse is the live feed.
Plug it in the wrong way and you'll have no protection.
👍👍very very good point and not covered in depth..

Brilliant - thanks!
Very useful - thanks
Wow, you was amazing, thanks very much
thanks it was easy
Hello, nice video. What for kind of Dashcam is it?
This would work for pretty much any dash cam.
Cheers,very helpful video ;)
Thank you
You don't show how on earth your meant to get the cover for the fuse box back on!!!
Nothing to show it just clips in. If your struggling have a quick look in the cars owners manual.
Excellent!!
