Hey mate... got your email! The back view is awesome even its not mounted on the back window!
Now time for me to have a crack at it in the next few days. I have just found out the wiring has come with the round in line fuse like yours already. So pretty much ready to go!
Are you using a battery drain protection kit for hardwiring the dash cam? If yes,what is the cut-off voltage setting on the kit?

Thanks Hillbilly.Do you think the hardwired arrangement will give about 6~7 hrs of park-mode operation?Since the camera will have a motion detector, actual camera operation may be 3~4 hrs depending on how busy the car park is.Is it better to go for a dashcam battery pack if long park mode operation is required?
Depends on what camera you have.with motion detection they tend to pick up trees in the wind or someone walking 50m away. I have found mine keep recording for a while even in the garage with the door shut. Would sooner have a good battery than a long record time 12v cutoff is low enough as mine is a dieselQuote:

Neither I used the little fuse shown in reply 1 but I dont think they have them as not in catalogue any more.
I put them in two spare sockets that had the correct power as shown You can see which is which size Minis at the top.
If you are using addafuses you just need to find two that do the job I wouldnt use airbag or brake fuses though.
To find out which ones are on all the time and which are acc just change a fuse into the bottom of the addada and put it in and see if circuit still works then put one it the top one and check if its perm power or acc power Have u got a multimeter as abit useless if u havent
Finally got around to install the dashcam today!
The fusebox is actually located behind the glove box ... and it is stated in the owners' manual...:facepalm:
No much trouble for the installation and I have managed to get the rear cam on to the hatch window! Only downside is I have snapped one of the metal trim clip ... :banana::banana:
Please post some photos!. Would like to see your cable route!Quote:
