Installing Your Dashcam
Mounting and cable routing
- Mount the front camera behind the rearview mirror so it doesn't block your view.
- Use the included pry tool to tuck power and coaxial cables into the weatherstripping along the A-pillar.
- Safety: never run cables across side-curtain airbags — always route behind the airbag housing.
Powering options
- Cigarette lighter plug — simplest; records while driving.
- Hardwiring to the fuse box — required for Parking Mode.
Hardwiring (3-wire cable, Black/Red/Yellow) — check your manual for which wire color corresponds to which function, as yellow and red can be interchanged between kits:
- BATT+ → a fuse with constant power (e.g., hazard lights, interior lights).
- ACC+ → a fuse powered only when the ignition is on (e.g., cigarette lighter, radio).
- Black (GND) → a solid metal ground bolt on the vehicle chassis.
Battery pack setup (B-124X / B-130X / B-130A)
- Simple install: plug the battery into the 12V auxiliary socket. It charges while you drive and powers the camera when you park.
- Rapid-charge install: hardwire the battery to a 20A switched (ACC) fuse for higher-current charging — a full charge in about 50 - 90 minutes of driving.
