Upgraded Dash Cam Hardwire Kit, Type-C USB Hard Wire Kit 12V-24V to 5V Hardwire Kit with Low Voltage Protection 13ft Dash Cam Charger Power Cord for Dashcam GPS Power Supply Radar Detectors and More
Step1 Locate Your Fuse Box
1.Turn your car off and remove the key
2. Find your fuse box (Location of the fuse box is different in different cars)
3. Use circuit tester to test our constant fuse (A circuit that is live or hot all the time means that it constantly receives power, even when your car is parked and the engine is turned off)
Step2 Connect this kit to fuse box
1. Take off the constant fuse (NOTE: please take a photo to remember the socket of the original car fuse)
2. Connect the hardiwre kit, refer to the connection diagram in the fourth picture.
3.Plug the fuse adapter to the original fuse socket (The socket must be the original one!!!)
Step3 Connecting ground wire
Connect the black ground wire to the metal of the car frame, just attached to the screw like the picture shows.
Test your dash cam!
This kit had all the components needed to do the job, the instructions were clear, and installation was very straightforward.
The hardest part was actually routing the cable – had to temporarily remove the interference suppressing magnet from the end of the cable to make it thin enough to mouse through to the fuse box.
Easy to fit and does exactly what it’s intended to do. It doesn’t turn off with the ignition on a Qashqai despite using multiple fuse options. But it does turn off after a few minutes.
Less than 10 and a great bit of kit. Comes with multiple fuse fitments. Super easy to install, took me 10mins to fit my Mirror Dash Cam, makes the car look so much tidier! An absolute must.
Has various different fuse sizes so wide comparability with various car models. Works great with my Kia and had no issues so far with dashcam coming on and off with the ignition.
The quality of this hard wire kit is very good, its durable , excellent value for money and so so easy to install.I was able to hard wire my dash cam into my Qashqai all cables hidden with in 90 minutes.
Works just as it should and it turns off if the battery runs too low, you have a switch aswell to pick the voltage to turn off which is handy.
I bought a cheap dash/rear cam. Connected via cigar lighter. Then discovered they can be hard wired. YouTube showed me how now instead of only working when driving I have 24 hour front and rear cam. Great and really cheap. Bonus they can via adapter be fitted to any mini USB. Great buy.
I kid you not, this took me about 20 minutes to install. Running the cable to keep it invisible took the most time. Once I identified the fuse and a grounding point the rest was easy. There was no wire cutting or soldering to do. The kit has everything you require. I would suggest you have a couple of cable ties at hand to keep the loose cable tidy and tucked away.
I recommend this product to anyone wanting to hardwire their Dash Cam.
Easy installation on a Saab 9-3 Aero, with more than enough cable length to spare.
If the included instructions aren’t clear enough, there’s a multitude of videos online to show you how.
I was impressed by the build quality and overall robustness of all the components. Recommended.
Good kit, lots of options for different fuse types, a pointless trim tool supplied? (but it was free)
Be aware, if your camera has a micro usb port you need to use the adapter cable (included in the kit) – and not have to remove the whole kit only to find the adapter in the bag – DOH!
All in all, good kit and would use again.
A garage fitted the dashcam, but they couldn’t hard-wire it until I got hardwire kit. I bought a hardwire and had it fitted. WARNING. Some makes of cars have cigar lighters that don’t turn off when you turn off the engine. If your dashcam relies on you turning it off by taking the cigar lighter out, and you forget, the battery soon goes flat. It is a great dashcam, and it has proven to be effective when I arrived at the scene of an accident happening.
First off, the plastic spudger they supply is useless. Don’t even bother, throw it away immediately and use something else.
Besides that, this kit is great. Everything you need is included and there’s plenty of cable. I had this fitted in about 15 minutes. It took me longer to remove and refit my glovebox after adding the fuse spur than it did to route the cable and make it look all tidy.
A few reviews mention the magnetic ferrule not being included. In my case, I thought they had forgotten to include it initially but it was already on the cable.
Exactly what I needed, having looked around on websites and watched a couple of video tutorials – only thing I wasn’t expecting was that the casing around the end that plugs into the camera mount was wider than the gap – so I had to trim a slice from the casing with a stanley knife in order to actually get it in the recess and plug in.
Worked great for me. There was more than enough cable for a Landrover Freelander 2, and the cables were thin enough to tuck behind the various parts of the car they had to go behind. The result is a dashcam almost entirely hidden behind the mirror with just the cable visible going into the trim above.
One of the provided purple fuses was missing from my pack. Luckily not the one I needed. The negative terminal wasn’t big enough to go neatly around the stem of a bolt, but I’ve managed to get it squashed fairly neatly under a bolt that I can’t see without removing trim.
