Hiding and permanent power to dash cam

Usmcsho · October 07, 2016, 07:44:13 AM

So this dash is a million times more complex and expensive than my fusion. Trying to hide my wire from a dash cam near the rear view down to a power point I'll soder into the back of an existing power point any help?

What are you trying to connect your radar? Z

I just installed a blackvue into my truck. Still deciding if I will keep the SHO so haven't installed a dashcam into it. But the Blackvue is incredibly simple. Power comes thru a separate power module. 3 wires total, 1 hot, 1 accessory 1 ground. Power to rear camera fed thru connector cable that gets tucked into headliner. Tons of features including two way voice, cloud access, GPS etc. Couple pix after I installed. Had to return camera for a focus/firmware issue but retailer is local so I should have it all back within 3 days.

I haven't taken any stills but website in my post has some. I can say the images do look pretty good. Understanding my camera was a bit out of focus but have a look.

I may do a how-to if/when I install in my SHO. But youtube has detailed universal instructions
