This is extremely wrong: you shouldn't pick any random fuse like that. You might attach your dashcam to an important fuse for ABS, or airbags and in case of dashcam burning your fuse you will risk your life on the road without even knowing it. Always check your fuse box schematic and pick a fuse for non important parts like electric mirrors, heated seats or in best case lighter port.
@@noelcalderon2632 there's manuals online that have the fuse box diagram. Or you could always pay a visit to the dealership and they could give you the chart as well.
Dash cams should come already installed in your automobile and insurance costs should be reduced because it actually makes the driver also drive more safely.
if they do that though there would be an unintended consequence by way of either police demanding they have access to it with or without your consent for whatever reason. it would be exploited to sell your information (because capitalism).
Yes, that was a travesty. It's a basic fact about doing that work. If you have gone to all the trouble of pulling the cover off (which you should), you should finish the job right by securing the wires so they stay behind the airbag. You don't want them interfering with the airbag's deployment path and timing. I just did that yesterday when installing my dash cam in the front and today with the rear passenger airbag when installing the back-facing camera that connects to the front dash cam.
Why go to the trouble of removing A-Pillar trim ( as it should be done) and then allowing wires to interfere with the airbag ? Use CABLE TIES to attach dashcam cables to vehicle wiring already present.
Great video, its good practice to use a larger fuse to tap from, lager then 5A, the dash cam does not draw a lot but still better to run off a larger source. Also its good practice to tap from a non critical circuit, avoid fuel pumps, engine timing, gauge cluster etc, in case you do get an overload condition your dash cam doesn't hinder or disable your car, use something like heated seats, high beams if they are powered by ignition on.
@@noelcalderon2632 which car is it? there should be a wiring diagram available for almost any car, if you rally cant find a wiring diagram then the only way would be to use a multi meter and probe, i would try to find the running lights circuit and go off of that
I'll add that you might want to wrap the wires you tucked next to the fuse box (specifically the power adapter) in foam to prevent knocking sounds when driving on bumpy roads. It gets annoying
Agreed. We all learned now that we should tape the wire beyond the airbag, but the quality of the instruction, including (for my particular question) the decision-making of the fuse selection. Thanks very much.
Top tip if you are using a front and rear camera when you have digital radio like here in Europe. Throw three or more ferrite magnets around the cables that go along the side and roof to stop you radio not working when the dash cam is on. All dash cam power signals will interfere with the DAB radio antennas in your car unless shielded by ferrite magnets.
Thanks for the video. Since you asked for suggestions, I'd like to suggest that you make an additional tutorial on how to hook up a second, rear-facing camera.
Thanks for the video. Please also read the comments that warn you not to obstruct the air bag if fitted in the pillar, also it does matter which way around you plug the tap connector into the fuse board. Don't choose an important fuse to piggyback on. Lastly if you use an empty fuse position only use a fuse for your new accessory, don't have a 2nd fuse.
I would’ve hooked it to the fuse that keeps it on all the time even when the car is off to also catch possible car thief’s. It’s also good to have it on when the car is off to catch people that may hit and damage your car while it’s parked.
This video was BY FAR the most informative and thorough video of its kind I have seen on RUclips. I now have the confidence and understanding to do this without hiring someone to do it. GREAT JOB young man! You really knocked it out of the park.
great video! love how to taught us dummies how to hide the cables and make it look so clean! Would love to see a video on teaching us to install and hide the cables of a rear dashcam!
Just as an FYI. Craft stores sell self-adhesive felt sheets. With a small razor, you can cut strips of felt to fold around wires and stick to itself. This will keep wires from making noise against the dash due to vibrations.
Air bags are not designed to not hurt you they are designed to save life’s. You will have some damage from an air bad deploying they fly out an an insane speed there’s bound to be some injuries on you from it. I don’t think a wires going to make any difference
C do the same thing with an 12v electric out and hide cable under the carpet and in the windshield pillar. If I where you, I choosen a permanent 12v out to run the dashcam permanently for car surveillance or aut-on in case of shock
Great video. I am a little confused about the fuses but I am a 75 y..o. Female. Loved your video though as there was no BSing, just right to the point, quick and clean. Want to buy one for a friend for Christmas.
You shouldn’t have wires running in front of the airbags in the A-Pillar. I hope you make it a point in your video. Otherwise your video is very useful and you don’t want folks doing the same. Thanks!
nice video, but when doing an install of that sort, make sure you don't run wiring over the airbag.... I'm a professional installer and yes that little wire can cause a lot of damage. Other than that good job.
It's important which way you plug the fuse tap in. After removing the fuse from fuse box, you need to individually test the two fuse contacts in the box with a voltmeter to determine which is the "line" side (supply), and which is the "load" side. The line side will have voltage when the ignition is ON, the load side won't. When plugging in the tap, the wire to the new load must exit the tap on the same side as the load contact in the fuse box. If you plug the tap in backwards, the current for the new load will be drawn from the load side of the original circuit, which means the new load current will pass thru the original fuse as well as the new fuse. If your original fuse was 5 A and your new load is 10A you will blow the 5A fuse. This guy is obviously not a professional.
it's not really a good idea to leave the wires dangling inside the A pillar trim on cars with side curtain airbags as it could interfere or get damaged when the airbags deploy. It's best if you anchor the wires to something (preferably to the pre-existing harness), it also can prevent the wires from rattling.
I hope that you will rerun your cables away from the airbag when the airbag deploys it may not deploy properly or it will rip your cables out. I would have used the existing wires and wire ties I would have zip tied the cables to the existing wiring above and away from the airbag
Thank you for this video. I'm about to install one in the wife's car. I already knew what I wanted to do so this went right along with my plans. Great video. 👍
IMPORTANT. Check direction of plugged in fuse adaptor, because if you plug it in wrong direction, 5A fuse wont work. Ofcouse your dash cam works, but it will be not fused at all. And suggesting to tie wires near airbag, and wire under airbag
Why not connect to a circuit that's powered when the car is off? The dash cam I have has a parking mode. Plus, I discovered it doesn't keep the time and date after a while. I was surprised how easy you made it look to push the wires in at the top of the window. I had tried and had trouble on a Toyota Venza, but I'm going to give it another try.
That fuse tap can be installed backwards causing two circuit loads to be powered from the main fuse. This can be bad depending on how much load is placed on the circuit
You need to check what side of the fuse is the feed as the fuses you use in your tap will not cover both legs so if your hot feed is fed to the wrong side of your tap fuses the fuses are of no use.
easy to understand, clear and concise. I'm probably just going to dangle my wire into the lighter opening however. I noticed some reviews talk about covering the air bag, which sounds horrifying but its probably no big deal.
Your airbag goes off with that much force that it’s just gonna rip your dashcam down and throw it about. If you get in an accident your dashcam being reusable is gonna be the least of your worries. So yeah, could avoid it but in reality it really doesn’t matter
As long as its hardwired and with"decent" parking mode it should do it's job. I say "decent" because many of the lower end dash cams will capture part of the incident or nothing due to not having"buffered parking mode".
@Kim: Some dashcams have batteries that are there ONLY for the parking sensor -- my Akaso Trace 1 Pro dashcam is one of them. The camera is powered from a 12v accessory socket that is NOT on when the car is turned off, but when the car is bumped it wakes up and starts recording for 30 seconds, then turns off...until the next bump. So it doesn't need power from the car's battery, if has one but as said, ONLY for the knock-sensor ("Parking Sensor"). The battery can only run for about 20 minutes max but for occasional 30-seconds recordings, that should be fine -- unless your car is bumped/hit A LOT! Then the next time the car is started it recharges the camera's battery (which is not intended for anything else since the camera itself starts up as soon as the ignition is turned on and gets its power that way). I suspect this Apeman dashcam also has a small battery to run its Knock Sensor. -- BR
Looking to get this after a oncoming trucker moved 2 or 3 feet into my lane beeping and flashing his lights, then swerving back in his lane just before passing me, he was trying to warn me or something, I still can't understand a sick move to do that. But wish I had a video of it.
microSD card should be one rated for 'endurance' as write processes devalues the life span of flash memory. Car battery should be disconnected and wait for 5 to 15 minutes, to minimize risk of airbag being deployed unintentionally; although an 'experienced' individual may bypass this. Wires should not be placed directly in front of the airbags.
@@asadchaudhary1829 the older Ultra cards were well known for failing early. Next, these cards are not meant to take the constant overwriting synonymous with dashcams
If I hook my dash cam to the fuse that only gives power when the ignition is turned on, would my parking mode feature in my camera still records even with no power?
Hm, the pillar airbag is something a bit concerning, should ou not be a bit more careful removing the pillar cover and shouldn't you NOT run wires over the airbag?
most dash cam use a 12volt connection and you don't have to mess with a fusebox. The wiring is the same way but without having to remove side panel. You just need a flat head and push it in and push in the door rubber sealer. My dash cam is small ball that can rotate, magnetic removable, and has a phone app you can connect to it to view the video.
in my country it gets decided on the 15th of May if dashcam that are recording the whole time are legal here (privacy laws.........). I hope I can make use of this video on the 15th!
If you want to enable parking monitoring, you should pick a fuse that draws power while the car is off. You also have empty slots that you didn't check.

I'm trying to install an Green Yi right side view camera but the red and black wires are making me nuts, I don't know where I should install them and the instruction paper is not good at all.
Is it permissible to have the cam wired to a fuse that will continually run ie like my console charger port, or maybe a free auxiliary fuse? I like for my dash cam to run even when my car isn’t.
he said first thing we gonna wanna do is unbox our dashcam, well! we cant install our dashcam if we didn't take it out of the box can we? lol just a lil humor 🤣.. great video. thanks.
Does anyone have any suggestions to help keep the wire in place by headliner and pillar? The gap in My car is essentially too big and the cable easily comes out. I’m thinking some type of putty or something maybe. I do not want to remove the weatherstripping or other parts to do the install.
Man when I couldn’t hide the wire with my fingers I had a crazy idea n I got a spoon to help me n it worked believe it or not and this video help thank u
I have a mirror dash camera, my mechanic installs it to the fuse box, but now the dash camera stops to work, it turns on but reset on the logo screen. Do you think there is something wrong with the connection to the fuse? Because when I connect the dash camera to an USB charger it works

he said first thing we gonna wanna do is unbox our dashcam, well! we cant install our dashcam if we didn't take it out of the box can we? lol just a lil humor 🤣.. great video. thanks.
Does anyone have any suggestions to help keep the wire in place by headliner and pillar? The gap in My car is essentially too big and the cable easily comes out. I’m thinking some type of putty or something maybe. I do not want to remove the weatherstripping or other parts to do the install.
Just wanna say during the LB formula drift live stream they shouted out a guy wearing the antiv8 v8 club
Oh damn that's sick
Damn you beat me too it lol, I heard that too haha
wow, thats great, you make it looks so simple
Man when I couldn’t hide the wire with my fingers I had a crazy idea n I got a spoon to help me n it worked believe it or not and this video help thank u
I have a mirror dash camera, my mechanic installs it to the fuse box, but now the dash camera stops to work, it turns on but reset on the logo screen. Do you think there is something wrong with the connection to the fuse? Because when I connect the dash camera to an USB charger it works
Great video bud! Very well made and easily explained! Thank you!
Great video. Simple to follow yet explained it all with enough detail. Thanks.
What about rear dash cam ? Can you make video how to install it
thanks for sharing, it is a very clean, permanent install, A++ 🎉🎉🎉🎉👏👏🙂🙂
So do we put it in the one that keeps it on all the time if we want the dash cam running 24/7?
If you have to use your cig charger for a dash cam howe do you charge your phone? My car has only 1 charger up front
Is using the OBD connection as good as hard wiring?
Super clean. I’d like to see cars come out with a power source input to the rear view mirror 😜
I had no idea it was so easy to peel a car... 10/10 video.
Can you install hard wire on hybrid vehicles???
Your intro is so fire. It seems to fit your personality in your uploads. You have a serious and informative tone in your voice, so that splash of levity meshes so well! I have a B5.5 1.8 FWD Passat wagon and I’m loving it so far! Keep up the 🔥 content! PA sub!
Mikey Barker Well put! I agree completely, I didn't even realise how good of a voice he has for this stuff.
