Cellink B/Neo Dashcam Install
Purchased a Cellink Neo for a Blackvue I am installing.
Much to my surprise, when unit arrived, there is no easy way to mount. It appears most are installing in the rear beside the fuse box. How are you securing to keep it from sliding around? Pics would be nice. |

I have the Cellink B and put mine in the trunk under-storage compartment next to the fuse box compartment. Mine came with hook and loop tape (hook side), which grabs the liner material of the compartment just fine if the unit is laid with the largest side down. It won't secure well if you try to stand it up like a book on a shelf with just the hook tape.

I just cannot imagine that to be enough to secure this long term, especially as it has to get very toasty in that cramped confined area in the trunk during the Summer Perhaps not in Canada where they are made but much further South at least. |

There wasn't any room to mount my Cellink Neo in the trunk fusebox area due to all the electronics there
I mounted mine in the divided storage area under the trunk floor. On left side of divided compartment I keep my Tire Mobility kit (it pretty much fills that area LxW, but there is lot of room on top) I cut a pc of 1/4" plastic I had laying around to fit LxW of that area of the storage compartment, fastened the Neo to the plastic using the supplied velcro fasteners, & just layed the whole thing on top of the Mobility kit Every now & then I check the temp/battery level using BT and it has never been a problem... When I asked tech @ BlackBoxMyCar he stated that's where they normally mount them

I fabricated some custom aluminum brackets out of 1/16"x 1" stock, and screwed it to the underside of the rear upper deck inside the trunk. You don't see it unless you look purposely underneath. I'll see if I can find some pics to post.
Edit: Here's a pic of my installation. I bent the brackets myself in my vise, left a bit of room for some weatherstripping glued to the inside of the brackets to cushion the battery, secured it with some stainless steel screws. Oh and those hooks are from Audi, got them from ECS Tuning. https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...y5898615b41kt/
