more than installation steps, the details you gave to identify fuse slot and technical inputs on the fuse tap is awesome. I learned something today. In the process of installing T130, your video helped me a lot

What an amazing video. Can you please do a video like this except showing us how to hardware your dashcam to your rear-view mirror power? The wires are typically hidden under a plastic cover behind the rear-view mirror. Would be a bonus if you can also show us how to hardware both a dashcam and a RADAR detector to your rear-view mirror power. I've been trying to figure this out but no good videos on showing how to do both.

I added additional wire length to the Fuse Tap Adapter wire, all 16 gauge Red wire. No need for buying a variety of colored wires you may never use. Just buy one roll of 16 gauge RED wire which is all that is needed. I've not seen/watched a single hardwire kit install video that added more wire length to the existing Fuse Tape Adapter wire.

Great video! Super easy to follow!! Well done! Does the new fuse need to be the same amp as the original fuse? I don't believe dashcams make a big draw. Can I use a lower amp fuse or does it need to match the original fuse?

Use the same type fuse that you tap into

Hello... I just want my dash cam to be hardwired instead of plugged into the cigarrette lighter. I'm not actually interested in the 24H parking monitor mode. My question is... Should I still tap the wires the same way (ACC and constant 12v)? 🤔 Or can I just cut the wire meant for ACC, and tap the one meant for constant 12v in an ACC fuse, so the dash cam only works when the car is on and shuts off when the car is off, as if it were with the cigarrette lighter plug? 👀

Do you know if I can leave the red wire (constant power) not attached to anything if I only want the camera to function when the ignition is on?

@malcolmjelani3588 Жыл бұрын
You need to find new circuits to tap into, and you need to test them more thoroughly. It's really that simple. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpOcdKmLgsiBh9E
@yunussendag Жыл бұрын
Have you installed the ACC fuse piggy back in the right direction to the fuse box? On the piggy back the side with the wire is negative and the other side is positive. Check the fuse slot with a circuit tester for the positive side before installing.

Maybe I missed something, but for the front and rear cameras to have parking mode, do both need to be hardwired? Meaning, do I need two hardwire kits?
@AdventuringTheVoid Жыл бұрын
Typically rear cameras have a separate wire that connects to the front main camera for power. You only need to hardwire power for the front then it supplies the rear as well.

If I understand your question correctly, then yes using hardwire kit would eliminate the need for using the 12v charging cable/port.
