Dash cam hardwiring help
Hi there. I know there have been numerous threads around this topic but for the last few days, I am pulling my hair out. I can't seem to get the Blackvue 750s 2ch to stay on after a few mins. It enters parking more but then shuts down without warning.
I have double checked the acc and live fuses with the circuit tester. Have connected the ground properly. I am not sure what is it that I'm doing wrong. Can anyone advise please. Please see the pic below. |

Wire the positive direct to the battery with an inline fuse. Negative goes to any bare bolt or contact point. ACC goes to 153 boot light, or 161 headlights. (For some reason I have a note that 143 is a possibility - I can check what I have for certain tomorrow)
Some fuses shut down after certain periods of time. You can’t check with an AVO with the car “alive”. |

Thanks. I have used the same connections but there is something I am doing wrong I guess. I need to get into the boot again and have a look.

Thanks. I used the exact same as well. The guy in the video has the 161 add a fuse connection the other way around. I wonder if that's my issue? Quote:

Thats what I have connected the acc to at present. Just bought a bunch of connectors from Halfords and will be on the job in a sec. Hope this is sorted. I am almost pulling the trigger on the Cellink Neo 9. The only thing that makes me reconsider this is that I drive a max of 20mins to work and takes me the same time to return home.

If you've got a switched unit that senses when the car is powered you can use 119 as a permanent live and then one of the many many other switched lives. Hell, use the cigarette lighter fuse for switched live. You'd end up with 10mins overrun of normal then onto parking

Word of warning on this. I ran the wiring for my dash cam today but I decided to go down the passenger side for various reasons; this involved removing the side panel on the dash with the airbag switch on it and in the process I somehow triggered a fault code. Re-setting the airbag light wasn't easy but i got there in the end. My advice - don't go down the passenger side to do this job.

I ran if down the passenger side... but the only panel i needed to remove was the interior door sill + pull out bits of the rubber strip.
I ran the wire under the rubber strip and it cant be seen. |

Yeah, I would have done that too but the hardware kit with my camera wasn't long enough to reach the back. In the end I used the kit to get to behind the dash where I picked up the ground connection which meant I could use some speaker wire to get the rest of the way since I only needed two wires from that point.
