Instead of hacking your way into the cars wiring loom... You can also just use an add-a-fuse and tap a constant or switched fuse.

Great video, as a non-tech, non-electrician whose tool box is a tape measure, a screwdriver, a hammer, and pliers, this is a great video. I've got everything done up to connecting to the car's power source. I want to use the fuse box so I can have the parking video work (my main reason for having the camera). Do you have any videos of that? I have the fuse taps as well. 2009 Elantra Touring. I don't know which is the pos/neg on the fuses etc. Any ideas?

The HWK-TW01 plug and play harness shown is a "T-harness" type connection that plugs inline with the vehicle's OBD2 connector to provide constant and ignition power to the camera. One end connects to the factory OBD2 port, one end connects to the IGN-3 module, and the last end mounts where the original OBD2 plug originally resided under the dash.

This kit has a front facing camera and a rear window camera, not a camera for the interior of the vehicle. So you may see the person walk up to the vehicle but you wouldn't have them on camera once in the vehicle. You could place the rear camera in a location to have a view of the interior if you decided that was a better option than the rear view.

I have a 1974 Corvette Stingray roadster (convertible). The small windscreen is pretty crowded with the front cam, the rear cam(spun around), the GPS receiver and the toll road pass. The F200 kit (dash cams, front and rear) only comes with hard wiring. Is there a preferred power connection point or as long as it has constant power?

The hardwire kit requires constant power, accessory power and a ground. You should be able to find those wires under the dash.

Three things. 1 - The OBDD2 always has power on some cars (based on how it is wired) and eventually you batter would go dead. 2 - It would not be advisable to splice wires on a vehicle that is still under factory warranty as this would void it. 3- It would be better to hook it up to your fuse box.
@cartecknow18174 жыл бұрын
Hi there. Constant power is required for parking mode to function and isn't unique to the OBD2 cable. Both the included hardwire cable and our OBD2 cable provide constant power. Furthermore, Thinkware dashcams come with a battery saving function that will shut down the camera to prevent it from draining your battery. We've successfully tested our OBD2 cable in parking mode for up to 2 weeks. Lastly, according to the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act passed by the US Congress, splicing wire and tapping into your fuse have the same affect in that neither will void your factory warranty. Thanks for watching!
@ryandoe114 жыл бұрын
no.. the fa200 has a built-in battery voltage cutoff. you can set at what you want it to shut down at. So you should probably delete your comment lol. The whole purpose is for it to always have power that way you can use it in parking mode for motion or impacts. dumbass.

Make sure internet connection to camera is on and connects automatically, also yoir wifi internet connection to NOT connect automaticall. If still does not work, unistall dash cam link and reinstall. Make sure wifi button is presse before you start application. I spent hours and days installing this lousy software on my Samsung S20 ultimate. Dont give up, it will work.
