The fact that almost all new cars don't have integrated dash/rear cams from the factory that record collisions is insane to me, should have been a feature for the last 20 years.

@spurriousgod Жыл бұрын

I'd be happy if new cars just came with a usb power port up near the rear view mirror, so you can plug your dashcam in there instead of running this stupid wire all through your car.

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

I know you must have fitted yours quite some time ago, but for SAFETY REASONS check if your windscreen pillar has an airbag. If it does, and you ran the cable over it like the guy did in this video, please take the time to run it around the airbag. In the case of airbag deployment, you will either get a cable in the face at 150+mph or it may hinder the deployment. There's a great "hardwire dashcam" video by ChrisFix where he explains this at the 20min mark.

There's a reason they tell you never to obstruct the airbag. If the airbag deploys it will shoot that cable at the passengers at 200 mph. This install is incredibly dangerous in any vehicle with side curtain airbags.

I wouldn't do that at 1:15. Likely obstructs the curtain airbag. It probably wouldn't block the airbag from deploying given it's just a little USB cable but I still wouldn't do it purely because I don't want a USB cable to the face in a crash. It's not that bad just removing the trim and routing the cable around it.

Correct me if I am wrong. You have installed the wiring over the SRS curtain airbag. This will interfere with the deployment of the airbag and may be a safety issue.

I just purchased a 2025 Kia Seltos and decided i wanted a dashcam. after getting one my wife complained about wires everywhere. did a quick search and this video popped up. the wire tucks in nicely along the top and part of the side. until the part near the door, i didnt want to pry it apart so i went along the weather stripping along the door and about midway, the weather stripping looks like it is attached to the frame, so i used electrical tape and held it firmly along the sides, then under the dash on the passenger side. overall i think it looks great and is mostly hidden. the excess wire i just tucked under the passenger side dash where the glove box is and used extra electrical tape for now. ill see how it holds, but now that we know what it possible i think wife will be satisfied with this solution. thanks!

@billseaman313 3 жыл бұрын

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.

This is okay if you are using the quick connect, I was looking for running the hard wire, (actually 3). 2 to the trunk, and 1 to the rear camera, But I'm trying to decide if I should go across the top, or along the bottom. 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).
