    Dash Cam Installer

    Should be getting my blackvue dr600gw next week just wondering if anyone knows where I can get it professionally installed in Melbourne. Wanting to get the cables/wiring done properly (hidden)

    any recommendations?

    Do it yourself its dead easy.

    Depending on which side of the car where your fuse box is heres what to do

    Fit the camera under the mirror with the lens dead centre Hold it there WITHOUT the sticky and mark around it with a texta. Then put the sticky on and locate it

    Start from the fuse box . Run the wire out by the door seal and pull it up to give enough length to reach the camera. Plug the wire in and run it up to the roof lining Using a widish screwdriver or a plastic body tool push the cable up into the roof lining along to the A pillar. Run it down the A pillar against the windscreen tucking it in as you go.
    I then ran it back along a small gap at edge of dash to the door seal and down the inner edge of that into the fuse area.

    Find a spare fuse thats not used but that turns off with the IGN Buy one of the fuse shown and put it in the spare slot with the wire end down. Also buy a ciggy socket and solder a red and black wire onto it. If you have the connectors shown crimp one one and hook the red wire to the fuse wire Run the black to a screw near the fuse box that is earthed.

    Plug the ciggy socket and the plug together and tape them together as well. I wrapped mine in bubble wrap and hid them behind the dash.The fuse and socket are from Jaycar You can buy both a standard fuse or a mini one depending on what you need in the car
    I use 3M Duallock tape to hold my cameras on as I sometimes take them on holiday and use them in the rentals
