2023 Honda CRV Hybrid Dashcam Install

[@cwa107]

My wife just bought a 2024 CR-V Sport-L Hybrid. We have a cheaper 70mai dashcam installed using your directions. I really appreciate you finding the fuse box locations. Saved me a lot of time. Thanks a lot.

[@Tru-i4r]

I did my 2024 CRV touring Hybrid today, went very good the video was very helpful especially the fuses. On the back up camera I used a bit different method worked like charm. I used a long zip tie to push through bottom to top the ties some fishing line to the end of the tie and the camera plug making sure to wrap and tie to the end of the plug so would pull straight and it was a breeze. Thanks for posting.

[@MrAngeeeeeeel]

Great work around! Glad the video was useful.

What fuses you used?

[@iichristiaNn]

I been watching your video over and over because i bought the same dashcam as you and am waiting on my 2024 CR-V Sports-L to come in. I bought the additional low profile fuse tap you linked too. Hope I got everything i need, thanks for the video!

[@MrAngeeeeeeel]

Awesome! I hope it’s easy for you! If you have any questions feel free to hit me up!

[@iichristiaNn]

@@MrAngeeeeeeel Hows the set up working for you right now? any problems? wondering when I do this if i should just turn off the parking mode so I don't drain my battery.

[@MrAngeeeeeeel]

@@iichristiaNn zero problems so far, I had the same setup on my 2018 Accord and had zero issues.

[@iichristiaNn]

@@MrAngeeeeeeel Finally got my car and dash cam in. How did you get the wire into the fuse tap?

[@MrAngeeeeeeel]

@@iichristiaNn I used a wire stripper tool that has a crimping end. I didn’t add any tape to hold it, just crimped it to the wire tap.

[@sandlinjames]

Wonderful video. I couldn't have wired my fuses correctly without your walkthrough!

[@MrAngeeeeeeel]

Glad I could help!

[@hodgesmt]

Thank you so much for this video. I installed a fitcamx in my 2023 Sport Touring Hybrid and this video was an absolute must watch. The installation is so clean and seeing you take off the panels in the back was very helpful. My install is so clean and is practically invisible.

[@MrAngeeeeeeel]

Thank you, Glad I could help!

[@gurmejsingh96]

Can you please tell me that you used the hard wire kit or not.. Is that with 24 hour surveillance or not?

[@MrAngeeeeeeel]

@@gurmejsingh96I believe most, if not, all BlackVue cameras come with a hardwire kit. You’d have to find one specific to the camera you plan on installing. I would suggest checking out your camera’s manufacturers site.

[@hodgesmt]

I did not use hardwire kit, so it my FitcamX only records while car is on.@@gurmejsingh96

[@tsemilo4455]

Hi, I am currently considering which dash cam I should buy for my 2024 CR-V SPORT, and I also noticed fitcamx. Could you tell me is fitcamx's built-in dash cam suitable for your car and it there any problem you can tell? Thank you.

[@BrandensOutdoorChannel]

I used a ziptie with electrical tape to pull the rear cable through the rubber hose.

[@Holyeddybear]

Ma man! Thank you for this video. May u3000 will come this week. This video is giving me confidence that i can do it :)

[@rob2658]

Hello. Just watched video which is very helpful. Was looking to see best way to pull rear hatch trim. Just wanted to mention that fuse taps are directional. You have one in one direction and the other in the opposite direction meaning only one is pulling power from the proper leg and using both fuses separately. The other is going to be drawing both loads (original and dashcam) across the main fuse. You may wish to consider using a test light to determine which side is supply from fuse box and orient both fuses in proper direction. Hope this helps. Thanks again for posting the video.

[@MrAngeeeeeeel]

They were both tested, that’s why I mentioned that in the video because some people might think that they need to be facing the same way. Mine were installed as stated in my video based on the side that the power was being delivered to.

[@rob2658]

My apology. Was fast forwarding around when I watched and must have missed that aspect. Thanks for replying. Will need to check my own as well.

[@timphung4431]

Thanks to you, I couldn't have done it that fast without your instructions even though I’m a mechanic (the stupid one).

[@BrandensOutdoorChannel]

I had a Blackvue DR900X on my old 2012 CRV but couldn't get the hardwire to work... My new 2025 CRV Hybrid Sport L has the new DR970X Plus just using the Cigarette plug because it's easier.

[@davide1621]

That cover will pop off with a trim tool, and you can tuck those wires underneath it when you put it back on. Nice video. I have the same BlackVue cameras.

[@웨싸이]

11:54 Sorry for a newbie question. What if I reverse that part? Will I fry up my CRV?

[@MrAngeeeeeeel]

@@웨싸이 it won’t cause major problems to your electrical system but it will burn the fuse faster and potentially drain your battery.

[@artyemsie]

In your fuse box, fuse 17 is not originally populated. Would you not need to leave that fuse empty in the make-a-fuse?

[@MrAngeeeeeeel]

@@artyemsie I put the extra fuse to not find out if it would need an extra fuse. Lol. It’s a low amp anyways, I’ve had it like that for over a year with no issues.

[@artyemsie]

@@MrAngeeeeeeel Thank you for your response! Oh so you put a lower amp fuse in there? The fuse layout lists a 20A for that one. And isn't it safer to not have that fuse in there so just have the dashcam fuse in the make-a-fuse? Also for the A-Pillar trim removal, is it the type that you have to slightly pull out and then slide out? You mentioned in another comment that you went in again and put the cable behind the airbag. I cannot find any service manual that shows how to remove the a-pillar trim for this model but other newer Hondas have this weird slide-out mechanism. Awesome video man, will like and subscribe!

[@JaiPareek-d6c]

What type of fuse use in crv , its low profile, mini or micro

[@zzachin]

Thanks for your video. I followed exactly how you did it. Looks like its still the only 2023 crv dash cam installation video. What did you set the low voltage cut off for the parking mode? Did u have any issues and had to changed the value?

[@MrAngeeeeeeel]

My camera has is integrated with its app functions mine in set at “under 12V” plus I have my parking mode to only activate when it detects movement. I haven’t had any issues.

[@myway8950]

you could do this during the day for better visibility?

[@davidhazen2394]

Thanks for doing the video.. Did your camera kit have a fuse connector standard or did you have to add the fuse connect on . Also , if you had to add the fuse connector then how do you know how the wires line up with the new few adapter. I am sure there will be different color wires . If they were all the same color I think that would be great but I notice for some reason in the past many wires are not the same color as the new or the product you are wiring to. Thanks again

[@MrAngeeeeeeel]

I ordered one myself, check out the video description to get the correct fuse tap kit. In order to properly connect the fuse to the fuse box you will need a fuse tester. You can get a cheap one from Amazon or your local auto shop. When you put your fuses into the actual tap itself the only thing that matters is that the original is in the slot closest to the prongs and the fuse for the dash cam is in the rear slot (doesn’t matter if the number is facing you or away from you). Most dash cam wires will come labeled as “Batt” and “ACC+”, that will be how you determine where to put the tap. The “Batt” wire will go to your constant (always on) fuse, your “ACC+” will go to a fuse that receives power when your car turns on. Only way to test that is with a tester.

[@arishaun]

Thanks for this video! I’m wanting to install a cam in my Sport Touring, but am hella nervous about it. Though, after watching your video, it seems that wiring for the rear cam is the hardest part. Did you leave the relief cut open like that or did you seal the opening with something like electrical tape?

[@MrAngeeeeeeel]

I just put a light coat of super glue. Electrical tape can work too.

[@arishaun]

@@MrAngeeeeeeelThanks, man. I’ll keep you posted!

[@phunperson64]

I recently added it to my 2023 Touring Sport and I put the rear camera on the inside of the car on the rear window through the rubber going to the window heater. Ran from top down the side to the front of my car. No wires seen works fine, the only issue was finding a fuse with constant power on the Hybrid

[@MrAngeeeeeeel]

@@phunperson64 this is a great solution vs the way I did it!

[@psgrn]

@@phunperson64About to install Front/Rear on my 2024 Touring. I am guessing you had to buy the additional fuse wiring kit (~ $30), correct? Also, did you find a specific set of fuses that worked for you?

[@tjfdntn4710]

QUESTION, When you showed the fuse connection, you also mentioned about "ground"(dont know if its right spelling), what is it and is it important?

[@MrAngeeeeeeel]

@@tjfdntn4710 your hardwire kit should come with three possible connections, those connections are an ACC+, Constant, and a Black cable (Ground). The ground cable is important because it allows excess current to flow somewhere else instead of blowing your fuse(s).

[@mattminnis6135]

Do you need to pop the pillars off where the side airbags are to make sure its behind them? That part has me nervous

[@MrAngeeeeeeel]

@@mattminnis6135 I would recommend doing that. After my video I actually went back to do it myself.

[@gurrryt4809]

Question, the one that you tapped into fuse 17 for, is that the front cam or rear ? I just need to know which one to tap into so that my dash cam works when the car is off ( motion detection )

Should be able to, as long as it is getting current.

[@justsimplefacts850]

Nice video bro! Waiting on my new crv to do the same thing, it would be nice if you explain with more details about the fuse box, and what the numbers 17 and 45 are for in the car? I know there is one that need energy even when the car is off right? I know is hard to do it while recording but it would help me a lot! 🤙

[@MrAngeeeeeeel]

Appreciate you! I did mention it rather quickly, but to clear it up: fuse slot 17 is the constant (always on) and slot 45 is the accessory on. Under the steering column there is the fuse schematic. Also, take a look at the owners manual which will tell you the correct amp location and grade. Pause at 11:04. Starting from the top left: fuse 17 is empty for me but is located in the third column second fuse location down (the one that starts the 4 empty locations. Fuse 45 is the one right under the only 5A fuse in use.

[@sk3ezer]

@@MrAngeeeeeeel on fuse 17 you have 2 fuses in the tap despite missing a fuse. Any reason and do I need to go buy a fuse and make sure there are 2 in the tap?

[@MrAngeeeeeeel]

@@sk3ezer it was just a precaution on my part since the fuse is a relay for 20A. I put a 20A in the primary slot and a 2A in the secondary slot for the camera.

[@Sonoftheking570]

My question is, there is a camera behind the mirror to for the lane keep assist isn't the dasher cam blocking it?

[@MrAngeeeeeeel]

Negative, the dash cam does not interfere with LKAS. I’ve had this setup for 1 year now, and had the same setup in my 2018 Accord for 5 years, never had an issue.

[@NabilNeazee1]

17 doesn't have a fuse. Did you get an extra fuse? For 17?

[@MrAngeeeeeeel]

@@NabilNeazee1 yes, you can use a low amp fuse

[@NabilNeazee1]

Is it okay if I leave it open, or do I need to get an extra fuse?

[@MrAngeeeeeeel]

@@NabilNeazee1 I would suggest using two just to protect both circuits. Even though there wasn’t a fuse originally in that place, it’s better to be safe than sorry.

[@mganeshkumar07]

Can you please share link of steer wheel cover😊

[@markhalstead2386]

Going across the top of the A pillar does take the cable over top of the air bag. Going down the window / A Pillar interface and across the bottom, misses the air bags.

[@MrAngeeeeeeel]

Correct, in the video I put it over but eventually went back to run the cable around it.

[@andrew-vuong]

Should the yellow accessory wire fuse tap also be a gray 2 and red 10 like you did for the red wire?

[@MrAngeeeeeeel]

Yeah, the relay to the camera doesn’t really matter. It just needs something to get electricity to power on.

[@davidhazen2394]

Also, for the fuse you connector you used, did you wire it to a fuse outlet that was always on or one that turned on when the car is turned on? Thanks

Thanks for the information. I have a new 2025 and it’s got an interior “main fuse box” and a smaller interior “sub-fuse box” that are hard to see let alone access. There’s a panel that might come off but I’m a little nervous about guessing since it’s so new I haven’t even put gas in it since taking delivery of it. If someone knows if and how it comes off it would be helpful. The owners manual is completely silence about access. I did an install on my 2015 but things have changed.

[@MrAngeeeeeeel]

@@patrickdaly836 you definitely don’t need to use the sub fuse box for this. I would stick to the main interior fuse box. Especially since you’ll have more slots to tap into. I believe the sub fuse box consist of 1 ACC slot, 1 Meter slot, and 1 option slot. I may be wrong, regardless the main fuse box will do you better.

I feel like it should be, “trailer” fuses are typically wired as constant power. Example, if you were to have a trailer attached the lights would activate with the car off and you pressing on the brake. Best practice is to check it though.
