Dash Cam

[Paul de Vere]

Paul, yeah sorry didn't directly address your issue. Maybe a "Multi-Safer" might address your issue?

Do you have a rear camera? If yes, can you please send me how it is mounted? Did they run the rear wire along the bottom rather than across the top of the car?

What's a Multi-Safer?

As for the rear camera, run it under the roof line to the cable grommet in the boot hatch, then run it along the trim inside the hatch until you mount the camera.

I still haven't gotten around to having that part done

Hey Paul did you get your dash cam sorted out? I'm getting a Thinkview installed in my Arteon next week, (and my fiance just had a Thinkview installed in his ute yesterday).

I have a Blackvue in my Golf but I've had some trouble with it resetting the time each time the car starts, so we went with what the installer recommended.

Just reporting in that the blackvue with the power magic pro works really well.

If you don't like the idea of pulling off trim and messing with fuses then get it professionally installed.

All of the Golf, Tiguan and Passat instructions you find on the net only partially help. The rear camera is a pain and the wiring under the glove box is different and far less accessable.

If anyone is interested then I'll take photos.

What model Blackvue Usually denotes the little battery that retains its memory has died $3 on Ebay and some fine soldering fixes it Have done about 4 of them

It only happens sporadically.
Not sure exactly why or what causes it.
Otherwise it works fine, as it did in my 2010 Passat.

Not sure what trips it to cause it to power cycle, still haven't figured it out

Dont know much about the Arteon but VW have strange quirks like turning off some circuits while car is starting so where you have the camera powered from could be one of them
