Ram Dash Cam Install (Viofo A129 Pro Duo)

[@mtbrdude]

F33 is for the overhead switches (rear window, 911 button, etc). F66 is an accessory circuit, so nothing on it until you add something. These are acceptable for a dash cam. Never use a circuit that controls something critical, like air bags or headlights.

[@Ahmad-yw5hl]

Thank you very much for this amazing video. Man the dash cam saved my life when an old lady hit my car. She changed the store when I police arrived to the seen. I was so stunned when I was hearing her explaining the accident to the cop.

[@markfabre7682]

Hey Tony! Thanks for the very helpful video. I installed my A129 Pro Duo 4k following your process... mostly. Actually, I'm lazy and scared to take my truck apart so I ran all wires between liner and other trim. The wire can be completely hidden, even around (above) the passenger doors under the rubber door seal from the inside. No need to remove any trim, not even around the driver door. I left the extra rear camera wire tie-wrapped to a metal loop behind my passenger side rear seat. One thing I should point out: Each fuse receptacle has a +12V side and a load side. I checked mine with a meter. Those fuse taps should be installed so the hot fuse pin receptacle is "opposite" the tap wire. Having the tap wire sticking out to the left works with F66 for BUT F33 has its +12V on the left of the plug. That tap on F33 should be inserted so the wire is to your right. If you put the tap in F33 receptacle with wire to the left, the power to the camera will have to pass thru BOTH fuses. Not a big deal unless the camera plus normal load exceeds the 10A fuse rating.

[@mtbrdude]

The point of removing the trim is to fasten the cable BEHIND the path of deployment for the airbags.

[@davidc5798]

Thank you VERY MUCH for making this video. I followed your video to install the A129 Plus Duo in my 2014 RAM Express and it came out perfect. The instructions for going though the door jambs were invaluable. My install required going though the firewall to get to the fuse box, but other than that I was able to utilize your instructions totally. You did a great job explaining and showing every little step and I truly appreciate it. Great job!

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Awesome, glad I could help!

[@mjkusa]

Nice video. I wish I found this video before I installed mine. For the back camera I used the right angle end to the camera and the straight plug into the front camera. That way you can bring the rear camera right upto the ceiling. The wire can go along the window chanel. You will need to make a wedge for the rear camera since the top of the rear window has a slight curve inwards. I just cut one of the extra adhesive pad in half and added it to the top of the adhesive pad so the top of the camera is further away from the window. Otherwise the plug will push against the window and will not work. You can run the wire along the headliner and the rubber gasket. It took less than 10 minutes to run and you don't need to remove any interior trims.

[@discreetknight]

Awesome. Realised something after removing the Passenger side grab handle and weather seal. You can actually run the whole cable in the roof liner once you remove the weather seal, less risk of breaking teeth on the covers and floor panels. I ran the “L joint” at the back then worked the straight joint through the roof liner and central pillar between the rear and front door.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Yeah I thought about using the roof liner as well but wasn’t sure how well it would stay. I’m sure it would work fine.

[@bradwilliams7550]

Tony, thank you very much for the great video. I genuinely appreciate that you took the time to go through the trim removal and cable routing.

I appreciate the detailed video! I've finished installing the rear camera to the front, but when I went to install the hardwire kit I noticed that the fuse box on my 2014 ram 1500 Laramie is located in the engine bay next to the battery. How can I deal with this?

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

You’ll have to tap into wires inside the truck that have power and ground, or run the wires through the firewall to get to the battery. There’s usually some rubber plugs in the firewall with other accessories run through and you can typically utilize those spots to run the wire through.

[@gattonpc]

Less wide dash cameras are good to get better view to the licence plates from cars.. than the wider angle dash cameras. You will see when you get your recordings from this camera..I have the same camera on my car.. and is just fantastic. Video quality is more than enough in case of an accident and catching licence plates from the cars.

[@shoebert31]

Dont know about this model, but some cameras you can invert them. That would allow you to get a bit higher up on that rear camera. Not a huge deal though. Also I like how you have 14 air fresheners

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Do you have a video on how you removed the rear view mirror housing/shroud? I’m looking to install my dash cam with a power adapter that plugs in under the shroud but I don’t know how to remove it and don’t want to break it.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Unfortunately no I never messed with mine and I actually don’t have the truck anymore so I can’t check lol. If you mean just the trim piece that goes against the windshield, those usually just clip off. The actual mirror housing itself I’m not sure.

[@jonruehle9186]

I have the 2021 version of your truck, same camera, and I just tucked the wiring for the rear camera into the headliner, ran it all the way around the headliner to the camera up front. Use that grey tool to tuck it under the headliner. Slack (about 2 feet) was tucked into the A pillar. The cig lighter on the top center of the dash on my truck is always-on. Thanks for the link on the hardwiring kit. I will do this.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Yeah I only went with the hardwire kit because the wire dangling down to the power outlet would drive me crazy haha. I had the same idea to tuck the wire around the headliner but that was after I already did it my way 😂

[@bishopgeorge1333]

Yeah, in looking at your install I have to hook up the hardwire out into my engine bay I wish that my fuse box was inside behind the dash but it's no problem because I can run it through the firewall, my plan is to install mines tomorrow. I have look at video after video so I want run into any problem but so far I think that it's a piece of cake.

[@Gopher7]

Very clean install. I have the same camera hardware previously installed on my '14 Ram, now going into my '19. Came here looking for where you sourced your power. Only difference I had on my '14 was I went in the headliner for the rear camera, down the passenger side. Not sure if I will on the '19 or go through the door thresholds like you did. Thanks for the excellent video quality and very good explanation as you went along with the install!

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

I would recommend wiring it along the roof liner instead of my method in hindsight just because I feel it’s more direct and uses less cable. Probably less messing around, too.

[@MrSlimJimProductions]

Great choice.. I have the exact set. Hardwired to use the parking mode. Installation was easy...the only hideous part was to tuck and hide the excess cables. As for the rear cam, I used the 90* connector end toward the cam itself, that way I can raise the cam higher toward the slide rail and run the cable within the slide rail and the rest to the pillar. Much much more cleaner look...you dont even see the cable connector on the rear cam.

Dude, you did a quality install. Although perhaps next time, you’ll wait until you install the back wire to the rear camera first, then set the back rear camera to the window. To rid that pinch of wire between the window seal over interior molding. It works! Instead of hard wiring, I’m considering using an exterior power source such as a Cellink Neo to run the parking mode or to run another camera. I currently drive a Toyota Prius and a hard wire is NOT recommended because it’s a hybrid and any messing around with the electrical system will cause problems with the system. Not worth it for me. I’m just looking for the plug into the cigarette lighter as a power source, then run that external battery when the car is off and set into park mode camera. Thanks for sharing your video dude 👍🏼

So you'll have to check the fuse box under the hood to find a switched power and constant power fuse slot that you can tap into, then run your wires through the firewall to the dash cam. Usually there's some other items running through the firewall, or some rubber plugs that can be removed to run your wires in.

Is that the foward collision warning sensor behind your rearview? If so does the dash cam interfere with it?

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

No my truck doesn’t have forward collision. Usually that sensor is located in the grille but not sure on the Rams. I believe the one on my truck you are talking about is for the automatic wipers. Even though I’m pretty sure my truck doesn’t have automatic wipers 😂

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

It really depends on your experience and skill level. Also, it was about 90 degrees and humid when I did mine, so that slowed me down haha. Also, if you run the rear camera wire along the headliner instead of along the floor panels like I did, I think you could save a fair amount of time. If you have this video at your disposal and all of the parts you need, you could probably get it done in 2 hours or so. Definitely get it done in 1 evening easily.

Borla S-type cat back! I have an install video and a sound video on the system

@@TonyTheTruckGuy thank you, just from the video I could hear it, sounds amazing!

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

@@nakitatofi4151 Haha thanks, I thought it sounded pretty good

[@white1wolf513]

yo dude, I have a 2020 ram and I'm stealing some of your mods. super useful vids!! I seem to have a problem with the cam not staying on after I go from "engine on" to off.....did you have that same problem?? also it seems that the settings don't seem to stay set...did you have any issue with that?

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Haha good! Mod away! Do you have the same cam as I do? I noticed that unless you have it hardwired in, it doesn’t save the settings. I’m not having any issues with that now that it’s hardwired. My cam DOES shut off when I shut the truck down, but I have the G-sensor and motion sensor on. So if anything moves or if the truck gets hit, the cam starts recording. I might actually turn the motion sensor off cause my memory card keeps filling up with a bunch of useless 5 minute videos of a squirrel walking by or some tree branches blowing in the wind and I even have it on the lowest sensitivity setting.

Any tips for the f66 fuse? I have everything plugged in, but when doing a function check, the camera won't turn on. When I plug it into the cigarette lighter portion, it powers on. I have the Mico fuses, with 2 red 10 fuses, with the yellow wire crimped into the r66 fuse slot. I believe I'm doing everything correctly, but nothing is working. Any tips? Thank you in advance

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Hi there! just a few quick questions here to get started. Are you using the Viofo hardwiring kit like I have, or are you doing your own wiring? Also, I ASSUME you meant that you have the yellow wire crimped to the F-66 fuse slot even though you said R-66? Just double checking we are tapping into the #66 fuse slot and not a #66 relay slot.

[@Faded_Shadow0721]

@@TonyTheTruckGuy My apologies, long day trying to install lol, and yes I'm using the hard wiring that came with the camera that's exactly like yours, and yes the F66 fuse slot

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

@@Faded_Shadow0721 No worries! Very strange. What year is your truck, and are you sure the add-a-fuse prongs are long enough and actually getting into the fuse slot and making contact with the fuse box pins?

[@Faded_Shadow0721]

@@TonyTheTruckGuy My truck is a 2020 1500. The add a circuit should be the the proper size, Micro NOT mini. I push it in until secure. Again both 10 Amp, original furthest from add a circuit prongs, new closer (according to the hard wire instructions) so I may need to replace my add a circuit, or hard wire kit, unless you have another idea?

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

@@Faded_Shadow0721 I would use a cheap test light or multi-meter and verify that you’re getting power at the F66 fuse. Maybe they changed something between 2019 and 2020 for some reason. That’s the only thing I can think of if your add a circuit is for sure making good contact. And I’m not sure if it matters but I’d set the voltage selector switch on the hardwire harness to the same setting I had mine on

[@RedneckPCtech]

Remove battery terminal?

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

You can, not necessary.

[@ss4717]

Great video(thanks for doing something), I just don't get it,. Manufacturers not offering a decent video system but are able to sell you a 1000000. Vehicle , anything over 15k needs one

[@craig4fsu]

You have good luck. The Z Automotive DT and this camera have been a total bust for me.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

I actually have awful luck 😂 which is why I’m surprised it worked after the firmware update. Weren’t you talking with the me a week or so about the same issue? Or was that on another video? I thought it was you I was talking with and you were going to contact customer support

[@Skeletonbody]

Your rear window leaking yet?

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

It never leaked to my knowledge, but the rear window frame was cracked and was replaced under warranty a few months ago. I'll have to check it again now that you mention it lol.

[@Nickels38]

Toodle ?

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Yes.

[@Cody-ox2uu]

Nice video, but... Why didn't you clean your truck first before making this.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Not sure what you mean, but the only thing I see dirty was the floor mats, and I don't see how that has any affect on the video. Why didn’t you use a “?” at the end of your question instead of a “.” ? 😂

[@colindowdell4371]

37 minutes to not show an outside dashcam install through the bed :(

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

What do you mean? I haven’t seen anybody put a camera on the outside of the cab.

[@mcham0846]

I just installed mine and searched to see how everyone else did it. Juts had enough slack on mine too. But I went on top. Was a pain getting the cord behind the roof liner though

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Top is probably a better option in hindsight anyways 👍🏼

[@mcham0846]

@TonyTheTruckGuy only thing that annoyed me was I don't have a fuse in the cab of my truck. Which was dumb..don't know why they skipped that part on 4th gens

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

@@mcham0846 Really? Damn, almost every vehicle has an interior fuse panel hah
