This is how instructional videos should be done! Other TH-camrs take note! No shaky video, no bad angles, no bloated talk, no crazy music; just the steps needed. Thanks Booster and Shutter!
You have no idea how long I dug around youtube looking for help in hardwiring my setup. After about 20 videos where the details didn't apply to my situation in the ways I needed, I found yours. THANK YOU
Absolutely brilliant. I never thought about which way round the fuse should be inserted but it is so obvious 🙄. Articulate and clear and no music to listen through. The advice about the use of the multi meter makes the job far easier.
These videos are of the highest quality when it comes to showing you how to get the job done. I’m no young pup and these new cars are the most temperamental I’ve ever worked on due to the electronics. This vid made my installation a breeze. Thanks !
This is without doubt the best instructional video I have ever watched and I watch a vast number of them. Nothing requiring further explanation. No flannel. Crystal clear delivery. No B.S. Thank you very, very much.
You should be using a fuse tap for both of those. The fuse is sharing power between the camera and the other source, which is causing the drop during start.
Just got the Rexing V1P Max & after getting a few quotes was hoping to do the installation myself (I've built computers & wired my house). Checked out a few vids but yours are definitely the best. Very thorough & concise. Clear instructions & explanations. I've taught in IT and quite impressed in your videos. Great job & thank you!
I would never even had thought about the way the fuse works and the current flows through it, and making sure it’s around the right way! Thanks so much for this video, it’s the best one I’ve seen!
Excellent video and explanation of the fuse testing! I would only add that if you're removing the trim pillar on a car with curtain airbags, you should disconnect the battery and wait for 10 minutes first.
Super informative and technical instruction is of best practices. Thanks! Hard wire kit install is useful for all modern era cars. Applicable to 10th Gen Civic Ex. Mas Gracias
Absolutely best video on TH-cam for the novice installer I have some experience with installing car add-ons and this man is absolutely The best I have seen
Thank You !! I really appreciate the time you spent showing everyone this technique. Otherwise I would have to take it to a shop to hardwire. You nailed it !!
Thank you so much for doing this video. It is clear and concise and well planned. I'm sure it took you considerable time to produce. I plan on buying this particular cam for the new truck I ordered a couple months ago. Now I'm armed with important information to do a proper professional install. Kudos
Thanks for the video. 👍 I think you vid is the best in terms of not having shaky video shot, step-by-step and explanation on which fuse slot to use, how to determine the orientation of fuse should be inserted. Many videos out there are missing the last 2 illustrations above-mentioned.
Awesome…..best install video on TH-cam. Not going the side curtains airbags makes me a little nervous 😬. Planning on installing this camera on my 2022 sienna.
Thanks! I follow your video and I have everything done. Actually, I went to 3 places to have this installation done, and they didn't have time to do it. They wana me to make appointment to plug the three wires, cause I already have done all the wires passed through. So it was almost done, I only have doubt to connect the three wires to the painel box. And you did very good, all details that I was needing. Thank you so much, for your time to make the video.
Hello and what an amazing video I spent the money to have it installed (Rexing V33 plus) and I wish I watched this beforehand. You did an amazing job showing how simple this is with a little patience and following the steps anyone should be able to install. Thanks for the video.
Great video, lots of detail and just the information I needed. Just bought a V3 for some piece of mind. The sad thing is the day I was going to install it my truck got hit before I could. lolol
Excellent work firmware update would do the trick. Old school would be to add slow acting relay so as the camera gets power after the car starts. Handy if you get stuck with anything else that gives trouble. However I doubt I would have found out that problem without you video.
You're a really good tech! I like the professional and neat installation. On my Rexing V5 I constantly have a red battery indicator. Shouldn't it be charging up the super capacitor? It seems like there is supposed to be a battery or super capacitor that at least gives enough power to close or finish writing the video file to the card.
Ok, so maybe silly question. The fuse doesn't look like it's changeable, on the hardwire kit, so what if the fuse actually blows? Do you have to get another hardwire kit?
Such a great how to install. Helped that I have a Crosstrek. Did this Friday night and it’s such a clean install. Thanks for taking the time to record and share this!
Great video and very well explained. One thing I am not sure about, you removed the fuse for the fog lights and replaced it with the fuse for your camera. So what's going on with the fog lights. Are they disabled?
This video is hands down one of the best, most perfectly explained and detailed instructionals out there. Unfortunately I came across a snag. I bought a rexing camera and their oem hardwire kit yet their kit instead of coming with 2 cabled fuses came with 2 pseudofuses with 2 fuse piggyback slots on each pseudofuse. They did include 1 fuse in 1 of the 2 the piggyback slots but it was only a 2amp. Not sure where to go from here, any ideas? Thanks in advance if you do!
Glad you asked this as well Dave…I have the same hardware which I received two days ago and not sure what my next move is as well…I keep searching for more info but can’t seem to find anything about it…do I change them out for different amp fuse or is this part of maybe the update that was talked about in the video….🤷🏻♂️
I have dash cams, rearview dash cam, radar detector and dedicated power pack for dash cams, and I'd like to hardwire all these items. How many fuses can I tap (pull) from the fuse box? Also, does it affect the operation of the car electronic components? Thank you. Great content. Thank you for your contribution.
No BS! No Loud Music! No News Anchor Antics! Excellent-Thank you very much!
This is how instructional videos should be done! Other TH-camrs take note! No shaky video, no bad angles, no bloated talk, no crazy music; just the steps needed. Thanks Booster and Shutter!
Struggling for days getting my cam installed with different tutorials. This is the best one. Thank you so much!
A single video that anyone needs to do this job… awesome video, right on point throughout the video
You have no idea how long I dug around youtube looking for help in hardwiring my setup. After about 20 videos where the details didn't apply to my situation in the ways I needed, I found yours. THANK YOU
Absolutely brilliant. I never thought about which way round the fuse should be inserted but it is so obvious 🙄. Articulate and clear and no music to listen through. The advice about the use of the multi meter makes the job far easier.
Clear . concise, accurate. No extra BS. Great job and extremely helpful.
Thank you much buddy
I second that, this project went from what did I get myself into, to a breeze
It is great to see an installer that actually understands the proper orientation for the fuse tap! 👍
These videos are of the highest quality when it comes to showing you how to get the job done. I’m no young pup and these new cars are the most temperamental I’ve ever worked on due to the electronics. This vid made my installation a breeze. Thanks !
This is without doubt the best instructional video I have ever watched and I watch a vast number of them. Nothing requiring further explanation. No flannel. Crystal clear delivery. No B.S. Thank you very, very much.
Whenever I need to understand anything, this is the guy I want explaining it to me.
You should be using a fuse tap for both of those. The fuse is sharing power between the camera and the other source, which is causing the drop during start.
as a non technical person, this really helped me with the fuse panel installation part of installing my dash cam and hardwire kit. thank you!
Excellent review and install demo. I’m going to be doing this on my son’s Subaru Crosstrek in a about a week, so this was an added bonus.

Outstanding. Excellent explanation of why the camera was not turning on correctly.
Just bought the Rexing V5 with hardwiring kit. I had no idea how to wire it into the fuse box. Your video made it so easy. Thanks!!

This was one of the clearest and most concise instructional videos I've ever watched. Can tell you are good at what you do. Thank you
The most clear explanation I've seen so far, best video out there great job!
Thank You !! I really appreciate the time you spent showing everyone this technique. Otherwise I would have to take it to a shop to hardwire. You nailed it !!
A big thanks to you brother for the clear instructions.. I just installed it within few minutes because of you 👍🏻

Finally! someone who did this right. Thank you for your detail descriptions in your tutorial. Good Job
Thanks for the comment!
Great speaking style. Fast, but not too fast. Very clear presentation.
Covered everything I needed to know and used same type of smart harness as mine required. Thank you for the super informative and helpful video!!
You didnt mention using a fuse tap so you can use the existing fuse along with the hardwire fuse. Crucial step left out.
Thanks for the video. 👍 I think you vid is the best in terms of not having shaky video shot, step-by-step and explanation on which fuse slot to use, how to determine the orientation of fuse should be inserted. Many videos out there are missing the last 2 illustrations above-mentioned.
SO well explained....
Just that I take pics all the way, while disconnecting anything.
.thanks
I watched a few vids before and during my dashcam installation. This was truly the best and most helpful. Thank you!
So far the best video on you tube for installing the hardwired kit for dash cams. Thank a lot for sharing your knowledge. Best wishes for you.✌🏽
My car and camera are different, but your video gave a clear picture of what needs done. Excellent video, Thank you!
Great explanation on finding power on and power off fuses. Thank you for making this video.
Awesome…..best install video on TH-cam. Not going the side curtains airbags makes me a little nervous 😬. Planning on installing this camera on my 2022 sienna.
Super informative and your technical instruction is of best practice. Useful for all hard wire kits in modern era cars. Thanks!
Thank you!
I never really comment on videos. Amazing. Clear and detailed. Thank you for a great job.
Thanks! I follow your video and I have everything done. Actually, I went to 3 places to have this installation done, and they didn't have time to do it.

An exceptionally clear video. One of the best on any topic I’ve ever seen. Thanks.
Excellent video. I just realize my camera stays on with the OB2 so im installing one of these.
Thanks so much! This is by far the best DIY hardwire install on TH-cam! Great job.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching.
Great video.
Thank you for calling out the defect in the Rexing design.
This will help my choice of camera.
In their defense I haven't had that problem post-install. I think as long as you have a strong, healthy battery that won't be an issue.
Very informative and knowledgeable on the subject. Step by step explaining the theory and the practical ways to install. Excellent job!
Really appreciate your video. Loved how you got straight to the point on how to deal with the fuse box
So professional! A complete guide. Thanks very much!
Hello and what an amazing video I spent the money to have it installed (Rexing V33 plus) and I wish I watched this beforehand. You did an amazing job showing how simple this is with a little patience and following the steps anyone should be able to install. Thanks for the video.
Excellent video! Now I understand how to use the lock feature and turn on WIFI. Keep up the great work!
I am doing this smart wire install tomorrow. thanks for the in depth instructional video
Thanks for making this video, I bought a rexing v3 in June of 2020 but couldn't figure out how to hook it up until now.
Great video. It helped me hardwire my dash cam which also had built in fuses in the hard wire kit.
Seriously a model video format for other YTers.. thank you for this! Earned my sub!
Just installed my vantrue mirror 3 with your help. Thank you so much.
Super clear and detailed explanation - helped me understand my camera kit and how to install it. Thank you.
One of the best tutorial videos I have ever seen. Thank you!!!!!!
finding a work around and showing how to is a big A+
Excellent job with the hard wire kit installation, I learned a lot today.

Very well explained, that power draw is really pain in the back, now i know how. Thanks bro. Will also subscribe to your channel.
Ok, so maybe silly question. The fuse doesn't look like it's changeable, on the hardwire kit, so what if the fuse actually blows? Do you have to get another hardwire kit?
Great job explaining how to install the kit.
been searching for the information for a week. Thank you so much for the details. Really appreciate your video.

Great video! I feel more confident now hardwiring it. Please share a link where I can get the same cable tray you used.
Smooth and coherent step-by-step. Learned a lot from this. Thanks!
This is the Best dash cam hard wire install video out there. Thank you!

It was clear on how to do it all. GREAT job.
Thank you for being so specific and making everything easy You truly are amazing thank you so much
First of all thanks for the information on installing the dash cam! I was wondering if I can hook the yellow wire directly to the battery?
Best video in youtube for this topic! thanks alot
Glad it was helpful!
You are a professional! Excellent job and teaching 🙏🏼
DAng, I think I'm gonna have to hire you to hook up my dash cam.
👍👍👍👍. The only thing I wish is you would show us how to cut and fix the excess the power wire
I have dash cams, rearview dash cam, radar detector and dedicated power pack for dash cams, and I'd like to hardwire all these items. How many fuses can I tap (pull) from the fuse box? Also, does it affect the operation of the car electronic components? Thank you. Great content. Thank you for your contribution.

Nicely done...to the point...very educational. Thanks for taking the time to record
NP thanks for watching!
Great tutorial! Thank you for your concise explanation of the install.
First video I’ve seen with no dislikes
Sadly that didn't last too long. There are "haters" out here that seem to thumb down videos for no reason at all.
