The specific dashcam that I installed in this video is a Wolfbox G840S unit from amazon, but the installation process will be nearly identical across all dash cameras and reverse cameras, WOLFBOX or otherwise. This is the back up camera in mirror style of cam, and it works pretty great!

Makes me think how many cars on the road have hidden wasp nests in them
Great video! You may want to do something about that wasp nest at 6.20 😊
Extremely easy to follow even for a non tech-driven old guy. Thanks for posting this video.
Excellent video, I am usually pretty tech savvy but a bit limited when it comes to cars, I was a bit unsure about the cables on the rear camera but this video was top notch, thank you!
Thank youYour video was very detailed and only because of you I was able to install by myself. Thank you!
Thank you, young man. I was unsure about the red cable attached on the rearview camera and what purpose it serves, but you clarified that for me perfectly. Cheers !

Thanks for a very clear and concise instructions. I will revisit when it comes to installation in our two Rav4s. Cheers
Nice video! Short and to-the-point
Thank you, I was wondering if the backup lines were worth the trouble
Very nice explanation Brother, Thank you for your great efforts. Can you plz tell me how is the mirror clarity & visibility when power turned OFF.
Great video… thanks! Do you think that you could use the 12 volt line going to your stock mirror? This would be a help in both wiring and acc only power since my cigarette lighter has power all the time. I am not interested in the time lapse feature. Thanks again.
thank god we have people like you
Can I manually enter “car off mode” and record a time lapse until I tap into the fuses?
Is the redwire to be connected to the reverse light just power wire? I can use any wire to lengthen it?
is there a way to change it back to mirror when it is on? like the screen?
can this mirror act like a normal rear view mirror and or when you put it in reverse then the rear kicks on?
hi, how do you change the setting for time lapse? cause when i review my videos in my computer the videos was in fast forward. Thank You!
Can you please give more product detail on that little connector for the backup camera? What it’s called and where to buy? TY.
Can I use front/back recording and back cam for parking if i get the power from cigarette thingy? I don't wanna mess stuff
Hey bro. Great video. I hardwired it. Quick question. When I put the car into P and take the keys out. My screen remains on. Is there anyway for the screen to turn off automatically after I take the keys out? I don't want to use the screensaver bc I was hoping the screen would auto turn off after I turn the car off.
What do you mean when you say find a fuse that is switched and one that is constant? Like can you give me an example of which fuse location you used? Also do you have to run wire from underneath the hood back into the car after you install it into the fuse?
4:05 if you wanted to have your camera pointed straightforward in the position that it’s mounted right now is that possible? Like does the mounting bracket have free range of motion up and down so I can place it how i like? While mounted in the same position you have it? Not sure if this is a dumb question but thanks lol
Is half reverse cam image or full view of back ??? Thanks
Great Vid, thank you very much

Do they have a kit that wires directly to the battery? The 12-volt supply is hokie.
Which color of the wire is constant?

How did you know that the green wire was the correct one to attach the t-splice onto?
How is the camera ? Any issue ?
May I know what is(are) the connector(s) called in 6:30-6:40 please?
Wheres the red wire come into play off the camera did i miss it

Hello Thank you for this great video, do you know if there is a way to bypass the cigarette lighter? I only have 1 in my car and I use it to charge my phone.

I'm curious if you know why I get vertical white noise lines on the monitor from the rear camera. It is connected to my cars power point so I don't think it has anything to do with engine noise

I'm probably late but have you check the grounding cables, where it's earthed to the vehicle metal body
6:20 That wasp isn't happy! Question, when you're in drive does the screen simply display the backup camera stream? Or when it's off it's a mirror?
@CashedOutCars
2 жыл бұрын
No it was not! The screen stays on and displays a “digital rear view”, which takes a bit of getting used to but I’m coming to like it quite a bit. You could also set it for the screen to turn off completely, but the mirror isn’t as good as the factory one then
Did you need a hardwire kit for the timelapse functionality? Thank you.

Wiring it to the car’s reverse light cord so the dash cam can detect when you’re reversing.
Doe’s the rear camera recording or only the front?
@CashedOutCars
Жыл бұрын
Both!
You mentioned if you just want a front facing dash cam you’re set. That’s not the case because (as far as I know) the device doesn’t function as a real mirror. If you don’t plug in the rear view camera you no longer have a view out the back unless you turn around or look at side mirrors. That’s been my main qualm with the device but the rear view camera is better sight than the stock mirror

At the very end of the video you have a wire coming down from your mirror . I thought you had cleaned it all up to look factory . What was that wire for ?
Does it come with tape to mount it?

Should all come with double sided tape to install the rearview camera.
I'm still confused on the hardwire kit and how it's suppose to install.
Got fixated on the package..
These are awesome in theory but I've had FOUR of them die because they bake in the sun during the day and then die. If anyone grabs one of these and is in CA please let me know how it works out. Mine were vantop but I think they are all the same just re branded. Lmk.

You may be able to tap into an existing rear view, but that'd be a little more complex than this. I'm not 100% sure on that
