Hi dear AutoFun I am from Australia and I have Toyota Camry hybrid 2013 and I believe there is no fuse box in the cabin , I believe two fuse boxes in the engine bay , if you are familiar with this . How can I route wires from engine bay fuse box to the cabin?

@AlexAutoFun

@@MShaafi Hi SHAAFI MEDIA! ah if there is not fuse box inside the cabin, then the installer will have to run the cable thru the car's firewall, some installers will actually drill a hole right thru it, I usually find an existing hole and route the cable thru there. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!

Where is the link to the probe?

Thanks for discussing the possible interference with an airbag deployment. The general public is not knowledgeable about the design, packaging and deployment of side curtain airbags. As a retired airbag design engineer, I would hate to see a carefully designed, tested and validated supplemental restraint product not work properly because a car owner unintentionally degraded the deployment path or timing. Or injure themself in the process of making a modification.

Dude, you honestly saved me! I’ve been trying to hardwire my new dashcam to my 2020 Corolla Hybrid for 3 weeks and bought so much stuff and kept getting it wrong!

Your videos were a big help! Unlike another video I watched, you DID mention the power polarity when re-inserting the fuses. If polarity isn't observed, the dash cam may work but the circuit you plugged into may not! Lol. Thanks again.

Excellent video! I really appreciate the breakdown for this specific car model. 6:01 I will say to note, in general, ground should always be the last wire you connect. Correct me if I've overlooked anything, but the reason you connect ground last when jumpstarting is because there's a micro spark when you close the connection, and you would rather have that spark happen on your wide ground cable vs small delicate voltage connection.

@AlexAutoFun

9 ай бұрын

Thank you Red! Ah regarding the order of the connections, you have a good point. I'm not a EE but on house mains, grounded appliances have a grounding pin on their plug that is designed to make contact before Neutral or L. Now on a car, jump starting, the reason we connect the positive first is that if the negative sides are connected first, and the car chassis is bumped with the positive clamp you can create a short. By connecting positive sides first, even if the ground clips touch the body of the car nothing will happen since the car chassis it's self ground. But yeah the order of the connections really just depends on the application (and yep even if connecting negative last, there is a chance for sparks as the connection is made, now this can be an issue when jump starting the battery naturally expels gases that are combustible, which is the reason some smart jump starters or battery maintainers will only deliver power after detecting both clamps are connected eliminating the risk of a spark (and partially the reason we connected negative to the car's body not to the actual negative terminal on the battery).

Thank you Ted! Ah I haven't done an install on a C8 yet but most installs for the most part are very similar (same techniques and challenges). Regarding a good dash cam for the C8, there are some good options out there. Just depends on what you are looking for in a dash cam. I run different ones on my cars so what I usually tell people looking for the right dash cam for them is to start by picking the style of dash cam (Mirror or classic stick). Then how many cameras does it need to have (1, 2 or 3). Now that you have narrowed your selections, consider how much you want to spend on one, that will narrow your choices even further. Then consider any special features you are looking for such as 360° video, Side Camera, Wi-Fi, Parking monitor without hardwire, cloud support, High Frame Rate. Finally you would want to compare video quality. I have several dashcam reviews on my channel under the playlist "dashcams" if you like to compare them. Cheers!

You're welcome HoverPilder! Ah that will depend on the dash cam that is being used (some use more power than others while in park mode) and also depend on the car's battery, size, age, health condition and state of charge. In addition to that you also want to take in consideration any parasitic draw from other items on the vehicle that use power when the car is off. This is specially common on newer vehicles. For example I have an older Jeep that can sits for months a time with little to no battery draw, then I have a 2017 car that will almost completely drain my battery in a few weeks if the car is not used (mind you that car does not have any aftermarket devices connected to it). And here is the battery tester I use kzread.info/dash/bejne/nXeC1MiaaLW7e7g.html if you want to test your battery for capacity and health, it can also perform a parasitic draw test if needed.

Some hybrids have a tiny car battery and a hardwire kit will not yield the same benefit as in gasoline cars with a full size battery. Also in some hybrids (and some electric EVs) are sensitive to hardwire kits and may throw a code if a hardwire kit is connected. The best way to find out if your vehicle is compatible with a hardwire kit would be to check the owners manual or contact the dealer or manufacturer to check if it is. Hope this helps, Cheers!

Normally, the diagram shows how much amp that particular slot supports but there is no info regarding the empty slots on the diagram. Did you presume that the lowest would be 5A, or take a blind shot since most dashcams draw less than 5A overall? Overloading might be an issue, that is why I wanted to ask that. Best regards!

You're welcome camanv! Ah as explained in the video, there are many unknowns as far what happens when a cable is placed over an air bag, therefore I personally avoid running cables over it. However here are two solutions that avoid the air bag issue all together kzread.info/dash/bejne/i3mfzs9yhpneiag.html and kzread.info/dash/bejne/gmSKw9KFZ5PTZ8Y.html And here is my best position to install a dash cam video kzread.info/dash/bejne/eGuD3K9rmZqroqg.html Cheers!

Thanks for this amazing detailed video! I also watched your video where you talk about the obd port to power the dashcam. Which of these two options should I use? I'm stuck in the middle. The car I'd be working on would be a 2018 Lexus

You're welcome Anmol! Ah I usually recommend professional installation but if you are looking to install it yourself the OBD2 method is much easier. Hope this helps, Cheers!
