This is extremely wrong: you shouldn't pick any random fuse like that. You might attach your dashcam to an important fuse for ABS, or airbags and in case of dashcam burning your fuse you will risk your life on the road without even knowing it. Always check your fuse box schematic and pick a fuse for non important parts like electric mirrors, heated seats or in best case lighter port.

You really should secure the wires in the A pillar above your air bag so it is not in the way in case your air bag needs to deploy.

Yes, that was a travesty. It's a basic fact about doing that work. If you have gone to all the trouble of pulling the cover off (which you should), you should finish the job right by securing the wires so they stay behind the airbag. You don't want them interfering with the airbag's deployment path and timing. I just did that yesterday when installing my dash cam in the front and today with the rear passenger airbag when installing the back-facing camera that connects to the front dash cam.

if they do that though there would be an unintended consequence by way of either police demanding they have access to it with or without your consent for whatever reason. it would be exploited to sell your information (because capitalism).

The moment the multimeter came in, I knew this is beyond my cup of tea!

Get an Endurance SD card. It lasts much longer, the standard SD cards aren't meant to read and write as much as dash cams do.

That was great. Now I'm off to watch Road Rage-Pepper Spray Addition, human behavior that dash cams were practically made for!

You can not run cables over the airbag

I'll add that you might want to wrap the wires you tucked next to the fuse box (specifically the power adapter) in foam to prevent knocking sounds when driving on bumpy roads. It gets annoying

great video! love how to taught us dummies how to hide the cables and make it look so clean! Would love to see a video on teaching us to install and hide the cables of a rear dashcam!

One of the best step-by-step videos on this matter.

Great video, its good practice to use a larger fuse to tap from, lager then 5A, the dash cam does not draw a lot but still better to run off a larger source. Also its good practice to tap from a non critical circuit, avoid fuel pumps, engine timing, gauge cluster etc, in case you do get an overload condition your dash cam doesn't hinder or disable your car, use something like heated seats, high beams if they are powered by ignition on.

Why go to the trouble of removing A-Pillar trim ( as it should be done) and then allowing wires to interfere with the airbag ? Use CABLE TIES to attach dashcam cables to vehicle wiring already present.

Running the wires over the airbag notwithstanding, this is a good tutorial/overview on how to install a dash cam.

I would’ve hooked it to the fuse that keeps it on all the time even when the car is off to also catch possible car thief’s. It’s also good to have it on when the car is off to catch people that may hit and damage your car while it’s parked.

Best video on KZread hands down

You shouldn’t have wires running in front of the airbags in the A-Pillar. I hope you make it a point in your video. Otherwise your video is very useful and you don’t want folks doing the same. Thanks!

Thanks for the video. Please also read the comments that warn you not to obstruct the air bag if fitted in the pillar, also it does matter which way around you plug the tap connector into the fuse board. Don't choose an important fuse to piggyback on. Lastly if you use an empty fuse position only use a fuse for your new accessory, don't have a 2nd fuse.

nice video, but when doing an install of that sort, make sure you don't run wiring over the airbag.... I'm a professional installer and yes that little wire can cause a lot of damage. Other than that good job.

Excellent. A complete lack of time wasting, just all the information.

Your airbag goes off with that much force that it’s just gonna rip your dashcam down and throw it about. If you get in an accident your dashcam being reusable is gonna be the least of your worries. So yeah, could avoid it but in reality it really doesn’t matter

Super clean. I’d like to see cars come out with a power source input to the rear view mirror 😜

Just as an FYI. Craft stores sell self-adhesive felt sheets. With a small razor, you can cut strips of felt to fold around wires and stick to itself. This will keep wires from making noise against the dash due to vibrations.

Top tip if you are using a front and rear camera when you have digital radio like here in Europe. Throw three or more ferrite magnets around the cables that go along the side and roof to stop you radio not working when the dash cam is on. All dash cam power signals will interfere with the DAB radio antennas in your car unless shielded by ferrite magnets.
