Dear All,

Just wanted to know, if I'm planning to hardwire my car dashcam to the fuse box, is it necessary for me to have the kits something like this?

I have a Toyota Vios 2nd gen, the cigarette socket is at the armrest there which I think not that good looking if I need to en route the wiring to the middle, that's why I'm thinking to hardwire to the fuse box instead.

At the same time, any recommended car workshop in Selangor areas like (Shah Alam, Puchong, Klang, Subang Jaya, PJ...) for such installation can intro to me? Thanks a lot! notworthy.gif notworthy.gif notworthy.gif

can. just remember to add additional fuse. the local installers would probably jam the wire into the fusebox and call it a day.

you can diy.. easy enough.

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback. I presume I need to get something like this for the technician for this installation right?

I'm not confidence enough for wiring thing so DIY may not be a good option for me. Haha

Easy pizzie.

You won't need that kit unless your dash cam support parking recording but does not detect low voltage, and at the same time you intend to let the cam to run 24/7.

What you will need for hardwiring are
1. Tap a fuse pig tail
2. A cigarette socket (female socket)
3. 1 meter or less of 2 core wire.
4. A cable lug to keep the - ve wire to car body
5. A multimeter.
