Thanks SO MUCH for this video. I got a 2020 C-HR recently and I needed instructions on how to route the dashcam wires. This is EXACTLY what I was looking for.
Yes, its just below the OBDII port, you can see brake/accelerator pedals in this part of video. You have to remove the plastic trim by just removing the plastic nut deep under the accelerator pedal and then the piece just below OBDII
@@lanceryderwilson8618 depends on wiring youre using, with 3 wires, where one wire constant +, and second acc power, then will not drain, if parking disabled in device settings
Hi, If you start watching from the 9:31 minute of the video you can see that I am connecting the positive wire of the camera to the black thick wire under your OBDII port, have to remove that trim. Negative is connected to a bolt near that area
I don’t think any wiring kit is available for this, other than the fused connector that comes with dashcam. Just tap the big black wire for +ve and connect negative of the the body as shown in video
This was very informative, but you didn't really show how it was connected to power, or at least it wasn't clear enough in the video. Does this camera have parking mode? It would be good to know how to find a constant power connection for that feature.
Yes, this wire is an always live wire and so the camera will be on even while car parked. The camera do have a battery cutoff system that will switch off the camera if car battery voltage goes below a threshold which we can set
Hi after long time a question for you, do we need to remove these all stuffs for attach a dash cam I do have toyato chr koba and I need to fix xiaomi 70mai pro dash cam I think we don't need to remove all this things. I hope we don't wanna do this
Hi, If you would like to connect your dashcam in always live mode and also need a back view camera I guess we have to do this. The alternative will be to have just a front camera connected to the cigar lighter socket which doesn’t need removal of all that shown in video
adalex87 Removing this part is actually also there in my video. You mean the complete doom light assembly, right? Please refer to the video section from 6:30 - 6:40
Try to set the battery management in your dashcam to switch off camera if battery voltage drops below 12volt or so. If not if the car is parked for long battery will get drained
Thanks for your response! Can you tell me a wire to cut which is not always ON ? I want camera running only while driving. I will be looking forward to hearing from you soon and thanks in advance 😊
Hi good day, i want a camera that record when i leave my car alone, because i have some terrible people that scratch the, slam the door is very frustating, let me know?
Actually in Singapore the car already came with this wire stripped of as it is mandatory to fit IU(In-Vehicle unit) for paying ERP and parking automatically
That should also be fine as well. In Singapore every car needs to have a device called IU, which is mounted on right bottom corner of the windshield and is used to pay for road toll and parking fees automatically. To connect this device the car dealers had already tapped this wire of my car. So for me it was better to tap from the same wire instead of routing again to fuse box and trying to find an ‘always live’ wire.
Oh No .. The front camera must under no circumstances be demounted or lay around and cable .. This interferes with the operation and detection of safetysense

Thank you so much for your very helpful Video
at 9:43, what do you mean by fused wire?
What if i have to connect one to acc and one to batt, can i connect borh to this black one ?
Hi, thank you for the video! Did you disconnect the battery before removing the A-pillar / airbag cover?
is thre no audio on this?
Many many thanks 👍👏
9:32 Mine is a CHR hybrid. Where is the location of those wiring connections? Is it near the OBD?
Yes, its just below the OBDII port, you can see brake/accelerator pedals in this part of video. You have to remove the plastic trim by just removing the plastic nut deep under the accelerator pedal and then the piece just below OBDII
@@carDIYs so if i connect it to the black thick wire, would my dashcam still keep recording and drain my car battery?
(my dashcam has parking mode)
Yes, this is an always live wire, so the dashcam will not shut down while car is parked, will keep recording based on your dashcam properties
@@lanceryderwilson8618 depends on wiring youre using, with 3 wires, where one wire constant +, and second acc power, then will not drain, if parking disabled in device settings
Will placing the front dash cam directly below the radar cause any problem? Noticed you placed it on the left side.
That would be a blockage to your vision. In fact I tried to put it as much high and below the mirror so that the camera doesn’t block my vision
Hi,
At the last part how did you access the live wire for power supply? Thanks
Hi,
If you start watching from the 9:31 minute of the video you can see that I am connecting the positive wire of the camera to the black thick wire under your OBDII port, have to remove that trim. Negative is connected to a bolt near that area
@@carDIYs thanks but which hardwiring kit do i need?
I don’t think any wiring kit is available for this, other than the fused connector that comes with dashcam. Just tap the big black wire for +ve and connect negative of the the body as shown in video
@@carDIYs thanks mate!
what is that unit left from backview mirror on the front glass, with few holes? gps antenna? holes i suppose for vent only?
If you are asking about the female socket, yes it is for connecting GPS module

If you watch the last part you can see that I am tapping power from the thick wire

No! You dont have to remove all this things....
How do you remove the overhead console?
Just slide it down carefully.. I mean towards the windshield, if you look at my video you cam see me doing that
Watch video from 6:40 minutes to 7:00
@@carDIYs not that part. the part with the map lights etc. I was able to get the clear cover off for the lights but can't figure out the rest of it

@@carDIYs oops I'm dumb lol sorry and thanks I thought I scanned through the video and didn't see it. Thanks again!
Hi, i am trying to install a blackvue dash cam, will tapping into the main power affect the cam when the car is off?

Hi, Is that thick cable provide power even after switching off the car? I will be looking forward to hearing from you @Rajeev
Yes.. this is an always live wire. Direct from battery. Powers the camera even while parked

Yes it can.. the camera is connected to an always live wite
No sound
Wow that last electrical connection is rough!!!

from 9:32, sloppy job. Connect to fuse box instead.

Hi, do you know which pin in the TT2 radio is responsible for starting the reversing camera preview after applying 12V from the reversing light.
