Awesome tutorial, only thing I'd add, if your car has a sunroof the A pillar will most likely be your drain tube location for the sunroof. So keep that in mind, it could be damp in there depending on the drainage of said sunroof.

Have you seen a way to rotate the image 180 degrees? Whether it's a setting in the menu or a switch on the camera? Or do you unfortunately have to reinstall?

I believe you’ll need to reinstall it. However, they did include some extra double-sided tape, which is quite handy!

[@lightraveler333]

Wow you're excellent with installing! This was a great video. For a semi truck driver who is really only using the camera for dash vlogging (company already has a camera installed) the hardwire kit is not necessary right? Basically just insert SD card, mount and plug it into the lighter or with the battery cable and the front cam is ready to go? Installing by myself and I suck at this kind of stuff. Thanks!!

[@MrV2u]

You don’t need to hardwire it. Just do as you said and your good to go. Now if your concerned about getting your rig hit at truck stops then I’d recommend hardwiring it. It’s a great camera and the videos are really clear. Keep on trucking my friend and stay safe.

[@MrV2u]

Thanks for the support brother. The camera comes with a cigarette lighter cord, so nothing else is needed. Now if you want to run a hardwire kit to get the camera to work with the car in parking mode then you’d need a hardwire kit. But for basic plug in and go your good to go. Let me know if that helps you Burt.

@@MrV2u Thanks brother for the info my daughter told me today she doesn't want the power to run from the cigarette lighter so now have to go get same hardware kit you installed which best buy has them but question I have is her car uses the micro low profile fuses does auto zone have them or have to order the fuse line connector wires online? guess if they don't I may be able to run the wires through firewall do a direct connect of yellow wire to the battery & tap in connect the red wire to some wire for turning on assesories near fuse box under the hood, what do you think if I can't get the micro low profile fuse line is this next best thing?

Great Video! Just noticed that the Fuse Tap is only rated for 10 AMPs. Now perhaps that only applies to the wire and not the shroud you plugged the 15 AMP fuse into. Since you only used a 2 AMP fuse for the wire's slot, maybe your set up is safe 🤷‍♂

How u program the parking mode ??? The light in the sensor is on all time?

[@MrV2u]

If the sensor light is on constant you might have wired it wrong. It should turn off on it’s on and when it detects motion it will turn the camera on. I’m having issues with the camera itself. Mine turns on and off constantly and resets the camera settings every couple of days. My best advice is to make sure you wired it correctly with constant on and the other with on with power and if done correctly, contact rexing directly. They will ship you a new unit if yours is bad. Try and make sure you do it within their warranty. Let me know if that helps you brother.
