DASH CAM hardwire install

[DubDub]

IRT the prewiring located behand the windshield camera shroud (for OEM dashcam install). Does anyone know what power source that is fed from? I typically run my cams with a park mode and min E setpoint for shutdown. I do not, however, feel like buying an AGR just yet.

I had my TW 900 2-ch in hand yesterday and was going to simply run the OBD as a temp setup. Saw EOD mention this wire/harness, which gave be pause. Now I am looking at upgrading my device since it is 5 years old with the typical TW hum on playbacks. If anyone knows connector type, E/I specs of that source, or even the fuse/relay it is fed from, I would greatly appreciate the reprieve from digging into the TMs. Thanks.

Here is a thread on an OTC adapter

Dash Cam Install

Here's a quick overview using the Dongar 10-pin Type B adapter. This was easy enough and the Garmin X310 is so small (I think most 3rd party cameras are ... ) that I am very happy I didn't get the factory dash cam. The top of the two-piece shell comes off first. Use your index finger on each...

Dang it! That thread just added the Fitcam to my research list... I've been Blackvue and Thinkware for SOOOOOO long now that I am having a weird case of brand loyalty syndrome with a small amount of stubbornlyafraidofnewthings-idus.

Thanks for the link. You don't happen to know 2 of the Ohm's 3 at that power source, do you?

Hare's a PDF with the mirror break out, Don't know if that'll help or not.

Definitely a head start, thank you. 10A fuse to the PDB, now I can physically chase the number of parallel paths. I have a 1958 and don't have the load of a mirror display, so assuming parallel circuits from PDB and no difference btwn LCLC/1958 in prewiring, it should all work out. I'll let you know if any ingenuity is required.

IRT the FitcamX research, that's a hard pass for me. Appreciate all of help from you and your past self in previous posts.

Just curious how y’all fared with the hardwire install? Any updates?

If you are referring to me, there are tons of pictures and explanations on my build page.

My Blackvue 970X 2 CH with the backup battery is my next project. Likely going to tap under the hood. Need to find a good mounting location for the backup battery and the best route for the wires to the rear cam. I assume I can just search for your build thread to see which fuses are best to tap into?

Hard wired my Blackvue today. Shootout to EOD Guy for sharing some manuals that helped with trim panel removal, and I used his build thread to reference hard wiring.

Nice "Redline"! I have one in two of my vehicles.

I gotta say coming from a sports car to a LC, most of the time I now find myself going under the speed limit, instead of 15-20 over, where the Audi naturally wanted to be, so the detector is kind of a moot point, but I already owned it so might as well install it
