Valid point. Only not everyone purchasing dash cams & attempting to hide them are driving cars, pickup trucks or SUV'S. Some of us are driving much, much larger vehicles Like 80,000lbs more! And We're buying redundant electronics because We have to protect ourselves, our commercial licenses & careers. We cannot simply rely on the dash cams that the majority of trucking companies have in their trucks, to exonerate us. Heck, We don't even have access to those dash cams. Only the safety department of the company does. And even though Were performing a skilled trade in which we had to receive training, like actual schooling, testing, re-testing, going out on the road with a Mentor & implement our trade 11 hours every day, plus know our trucks inside & out, thanks to the mandatory DAILY pre-trip & post-trip inspections, DOT surprise inspections, etc....any accident happens & it's US that have to prove our innocence or risk an entire career & financial burden it cost us...all because someone didn't want to take responsibility for causing an accident because they were distracted driving because they were texting their teenager (or work, or insert whichever applies in your situation) AND, it's a little presumptuous to assume everyone driving is going out to buy a NEW car. And many are a lot older than 10 years old. Mine is for sure. My money goes into my truck, not my 4 wheeler that I drive less than 48 hours a month when I'm lucky enough to get home time

Not a good idea to cross the a-pillar trim as the curtain airbag pushes out from underneath this trim. Crossing the a-pillar is very likely to interfere with airbag deployment. You should take the a-pillar trim off and secure the cable such that it can’t interfere (keep it on the forward side of any part of the airbag). At a minimum, see if you can tuck it between the windshield and the a-pillar trim, NOT the door side of it.

@human_hope4 жыл бұрын

@RingaTech4 жыл бұрын
Don't follow this advice. The wire goes OVER the curtain airbag. If airbag gets deployed, the cable will pop out, and with the airbag speed, it may pull the camera with force and hit you or something, and you may have a liability issue. The correct way is to remove the A-pillar trim, and put the cables so that they go below the airbag (there are usually other cables there you can follow), and don't get in the way. Be carefull because A-pillar removal, in some cars, should be done with care. Some have some "snaps" tethers that if you pull too hard, they break, and you have to replace them. Check for other videos on how to do that, it can be done without breaking them. But don't be lazy and do it like in the video. It's stupid.

I'm thinking of just running it through my headliner using fish wire (staying clear of the sunroof of course) then down my C pillar to my fuses in my trunk. And for the rear camera just pull it out of the headliner by my rear camera. (2008 Chrysler 300C).

My dash cam instruction manual warn not to cross over the panel from the windshield because it warns of air bag not deploying properly.
