Dash Cam Hardwire Installation

[Deathstar]

Brilliant thanks, yeah it’s just the 2 wire kit.

Admin need to duplicate part of this post and make it a sticky.

I'm happy to answer any questions as I've done it.

Just take care taking off the panel. Most of the clips are into a solid socket but the left centre one clips into the panel to its left so wobbles and needs extra care, off and on.

Also, the 3 connectors just slide out once you've found each ones locking tab that just needs squeezing in.

Update :

After realising I'd positioned mine too close to the centre cowl I've repositioned :

I've got a wide 140° Viofo so this originally happened :



I've repositioned whilst checking the minimum distance and it's :



6cm from the cowl



Proper Job !

Not sure if it matters but that purple wire is marked "reverse" in katakana. It is probably power for a rear facing camera to help when backing. It is a very common feature here as everyone backs into parking spaces all the time rather than driving in and backing out.

Yes that wire becomes 12v active when you select reverse.

Hi Kremmen and all,
first of all thanks for the description on how to access fusebox. I need to go through the same process as I'll be installing a dashcam and I need to power it up through the fuse box.
Unfortunately, all the images that you put in the previous posts have expired from imgur so they aren't accessible anymore.
Could you please upload them again?
