For those questioning the mix up in wiring, here is the scoop as I was confused as well. One install video has the constant as yellow, and another video has the constant as Red. I spoke to Thinkware directly and here is what they said. Various versions of the camera will alternate between the colors and NOT to go by the color of the wire itself. Go by the actual label on the wire itself. The other issue... After installing so many stereos and alarm systems, the wiring on those types of equipment is a big tag you can actually see and read. These labels look like a heat shrink tube, black, with the smallest font writing on it. If you need glasses, you will miss it. So there is more clarity for all. This woman may have the right wiring for her unit. Check Yours.
You. Are. PATIENT. It's so helpful to see the full process from start to finish so that we know what to expect. And it's helpful to see someone doing this who doesn't get all mad like I do, LOL! Two great lessons here. Thanks for the vid.
1. Always make sure you place the camera where the wipers are reaching. 2. When connecting any electronic equipment, first connect the Ground, next connect the constant power and after that anything else or you're taking a chance of damaging the device you're installing or the vehicle you're working on. Alternatively unplug the electronic device from the other end of the wire harness you're installing if it is detachable at all. I'm quite happy you stressed on the routing of the wire behind the airbag curtain, since it could be a hazard preventing the airbag of deploying properly. But no need to bother disconnecting the battery terminals of the car. On any car with curtain airbags the ignitor is located at the C-pillar, all the way in the rear of the car. It's sufficient to take the key off the ignition or place it outside of the car if Push to Start.
Very easy to follow! Way better than the instruction manual that came with my Vantrue dashcam lol so that's the funny part. I tossed that book out and just listen to her go over the whole thing. Mission accomplished. Hard wired like it's meant to do.
Thanks to this video I went out to my 2017 Mazda CX-5 and plugged my ready made fuse power connectors for my newer dash cam. You made it easy breezy lemon squeezy.
❤️ Thank you so very very much ❤️. Your explanation was 1000 times better than any of the guys. I’m usually pretty good at this stuff, but that three wire was confusing. 👍
This is one of a very few wiring installs that manage the cable routing and airbag correctly. Well done. Most others ignore the airbags and cross the wires over them. Crossing wires over them may give a deployment fail or it may cause the airbag to rip the camera off its mount and become a missile inside.
She did good. Stop bashing her. Very clear and simple directions. Fortunately that mazda seems like they knew ppl want dash cams and made it simple for her. Not all vehicles are that easy to run wires through.
On my 2017 I was able to tuck the wires in without removing the weather stripping or A pillar. At the bottom you can unscrew the trim and pull it out a bit and slide the module into the gap and cover it back up. For a rear camera it's easier to use the trunk cig lighter.
This is the best video on how to hide all your cables. I just installed my thinkware f200d using this as my guide and everything went very smoothly. My friend did the hardwiring but I did the rest. A very easy install
I watched another video and they did one step that you skipped that they said was important. They checked for "Line" and "Load". Line would be your 12 volt, non fused side. Load would be the accessory, fused side. Without checking, you have a 50% chance of getting it right, getting it wrong may bypass the purpose of having a fuse. Other than that, great video.
Thank you for this video. I plan on ordering a dash cam (quite possibly this model) and a Midland GMRS radio and installing to the fuse box as you have shown. I hope it's as easy on my Ford Escape as you made it look. You have a very lucky husband. My wife would never attempt something like this.
Good video. Neglected to mention to tab power on the load side of fuse, not the powered side. This way the fuse will blow when the dash cam and whatever the fuse was for (horn, etc) exceeds the amp rating. If you don't, then your dash can won't be protected by fuse.
Hi. Nice work. I did it already but i couldn't put the cabes through the hoses of rubor in the back. I tryed to pull it off but it seems to be glued. It is a mazda 6 tourer but it is like your mazda cx-5. Can you give me some ideas? Thank you!!!
Much cleaner than my install. Mine has a little wire on the A pillar and uses the cigarette lighter. Trim removal tools do help your fingers/nails quite a bit. Guess I'll disconnect the battery and retry doing front wiring. On a side note, many SUVs have a cigarette lighter on the back, so if you're not using a 2 channel system or want parking mode, you can use two separate cameras and it'll be relatively easy to wire each of them separately.
Question? I'm installing the rear cable for the rear camera and my question is, how did you use a tool to feed the cable through the rubber grommet in the hatch area or just push it through?
Hi Hope you are having a good day , Excellent video full of information , can you advise me on how to hard wire GPS Tracker to fuse box please . Many thanks
Thanks to editing and a dry run (planning on access and removal of panels) installing will not take 14 minutes. Some cars a bit more complex , like double cab trucks. Give yourself sufficient time to route your wiring and double check all connections and attached interior panels.
I think they reconnected the negative terminal of the battery when they tested it but did not show it much like they did not show it when they closed it.
Could not get my F800 to work when the ignition was off based on these instructions. After I talked to the audio install folks at Best Buy, I found out that the red wire is for when the ignition is on and yellow is for constant power. In other words, opposite from this video. Maybe a difference between the F770 and the F800?? After I reversed the wiring, the F800 worked like a charm. I connected to the cigarette lighter (red) and the door locks (yellow).
I think you're right in this case. The RED wire is for when the ignition is on and YELLOW is for constant power (opposite from this video). This is just the right way to connect! - However this video is still interesting to watch.
Best Dash cam is the one thats built into the mirror ,In the mirror is actually lcd screen... cheaper and alot easier to install, Plus it comes with a Reverse camera
hornetluca I followed this install and camera exactly the same and the image is upside down. This is the right side up. I need to see how the camera is installed upside down so the image is a mirror of what you see when you look out the back window. Anyone have and ideas?
QUESTION: Did you use low profile mini fuse taps? It is hard to tell in the video. If so, did they fit well over the other fuses, and are they snug, or have you had any trouble with them coming loose? I also have a Mazda CX-5 and I am thinking of hardwiring my dashcam. My CX-5 has low profile mini fuses installed. Also, this video is one of the most complete and concise installation videos I have found to date concerning dashcam hardwiring, and I have watched a lot of these. Great job!
For mazda 6 you need high profile mini fuse taps, even though the car itself is with the low profile fuse.. (after 5yr of waiting you deserve an answer😂)
More like the other way around. Her husband must be a car mechanic or electrician. Given the fact that women have smaller brains than men. There is no way she would be capable of doing this on her own without male supervision.
Hi, how are you? Sorry for bothering you. I have a question. I have a Mazda 3 2018. In which fuses do you recommend me to install the fuse adapter for the hardwire please?
Great video. When I am using the add-a-fuse for a empty slot in the fuse box. Do I still need 2 fuse taps inserted into the add-a-fuse? If yes, does it matter what Amp the fuse taps are?
Outstanding job! It however suffers from one pitfall that almost every video on dash cam installation has. While it's great that you checked the run/off state of specific fuses for the yellow and red wire, you didn't determine which side of the fuse (you have to pull it) has voltage on it, and which side goes to the device. One side will have 12 volts, the other nothing. The potential is there to connect the fuse tap backwards such that you receive power and are not protected by the fuse. I have a CX-5 and the way you put those taps in would not provide fuse protection to the camera. You also didn't address that the fuse closest to the prongs is for the factory circuit and must have the original fuse amperage in it. The higher fuse goes to your camera. Also when you are in the back seat it looks to me like there's an airbag in that headliner. I see the white with black tape every few inches going on. Don't run anything in front of that bag. Run behind it.
Will the night vision work perfectly if we install the rear view camera inside the vehicle/ inside the back window glass instead of installing it outside the vehicle ?
@@steveleeart to be honest I haven't actually done it yet due to work commitments, but the video gave me the understanding to do it, but looking at it I'd think it would be 1-2 hours.
Have you made sure that the fuse tap is in the right way; need to test to see which side of the fuse socket is live otherwise it will still work but you loose the fuse protection. Just found out myself about this
Has anyone had success hardwiring the Thinkware system to a Mazda 3 2019 model? Problem is the ACC wire that should be connected to a fuse that gets power only when the car is on. The instructions manual recommends using 'audio' but in the case of the Mazda 3 2019, that is always powered (even with car switched off) Tested all fuses in the internal fuse box - they all are 12V powered even with car switched off Has anyone had any success hardwiring the camera to the internal fuse box? Thanks
Hi do you have any advice in fitting this in a Vauxhall Mokka? I can purchase the fuse tap but do I have to purchase an additional fuse? Will this wiring method allow the parking mode to switch on when parked up or do I need to hardwire to the battery? great video an you've inspired me to try this myself. After doing some thing on my last car, I feel ok about attempting thing, just hoping the wiring part goes ok.
The add a fuse adapter will only work in one position. If reversed, the device will not function properly if at all or current will be channeled through both fuses. Also, if you chose a fuse that is not hot all the time some of the features of some dashcams will not function (park modes)
Thank you. This was the very best hard wire video for dashcam it was very self-explanatory than the others videos that I have seen. your install was very easy, even though I have a 2017 Hyundai Sonata eco it's still help me out with the installation for my dash cam. again thank you so much I'm glad I liked you video And subscribe
The wiring should be yellow in constant power and red to ACC then black of course to ground. The way you did on the video is the opposite which can cause the dash cam on parking mode not to work.
I think you didn't mention installing the fuse tap correctly to the fuse box. One of the terminals on the box is hot and the other is powered thru the fuse. I think the Fuse tap should be installed with the pig tale coming from the none hot terminal.
does it affect your battery when it's hardwired? also, with the placement of the rear camera, does the video quality affected by the brake light? having the camera placed right below it. thanks
If the camera is in use while the ignition is off, it will drain the battery. This particular dashcam model (Thinkware F770) has built-in battery monitoring and will shut off the dashcam if the battery voltage drops too low. The cut-off voltage is set by the user in the camera's options. Dashcams that do not have built-in battery voltage cut-off can be used with an add-on accessory that does the same thing, such as the Blackvue Power Magic Pro.
Really great video with tons of info that is helping me plan out my install. One question, I just bought a multimeter but have never used one. What position do you move the dial to check for the car fuses? Thanks.
I'm confused about the red and yellow wire. I've seen other videos describing the opposite. Yellow needing constant power and red needing power when turned on

You. Are. PATIENT. It's so helpful to see the full process from start to finish so that we know what to expect. And it's helpful to see someone doing this who doesn't get all mad like I do, LOL! Two great lessons here. Thanks for the vid.
1. Always make sure you place the camera where the wipers are reaching.
2. When connecting any electronic equipment, first connect the Ground, next connect the constant power and after that anything else or you're taking a chance of damaging the device you're installing or the vehicle you're working on. Alternatively unplug the electronic device from the other end of the wire harness you're installing if it is detachable at all.
I'm quite happy you stressed on the routing of the wire behind the airbag curtain, since it could be a hazard preventing the airbag of deploying properly.

Best detailed video out there I have found so far on how to wire these up. Great work, thank you.
Such a detailed and thorough video! Thanks for going into the trouble of filming every step from the best angle and in good lighting. Great work!
Very easy to follow! Way better than the instruction manual that came with my Vantrue dashcam lol so that's the funny part. I tossed that book out and just listen to her go over the whole thing. Mission accomplished. Hard wired like it's meant to do.
Loved the video. Coincidentally, I will be installing one in an identical car, so the instructions are exactly what I needed. Extremely useful!
This happens to be the best installation. Video regarding wiring towards the rear cam, thank you
To find the best position for front and rear cams hook it up to the cigarette lighter and live view through the app before sticking in to place.
Yup, and sit on the driver seat to make sure it doesn't block your view. Also, please put it on the passenger side, not in front of your face :)
Thanks to this video I went out to my 2017 Mazda CX-5 and plugged my ready made fuse power connectors for my newer dash cam. You made it easy breezy lemon squeezy.

She did good. Stop bashing her. Very clear and simple directions. Fortunately that mazda seems like they knew ppl want dash cams and made it simple for her. Not all vehicles are that easy to run wires through.

When mounting the wires do I have to remove the A pillar plastic? Or could I put the wires in the weather stripping?

Is there a way you can hardwire the camera without killing you battery? I did it with my car and my battery died really quick especially during winter
You removed the negative lead off the battery when working around the airbag. Don't you have to reconnect it to test the fuses?
I think they reconnected the negative terminal of the battery when they tested it but did not show it much like they did not show it when they closed it.
It is obvious: you have to connect A- to the mass in order to be able to test fuses.
Your clip is very easy and helpful,thank you

Which fuses on your Mazda did you tap into for constant and switched?
The add a fuse adapter will only work in one position. If reversed, the device will not function properly if at all or current will be channeled through both fuses. Also, if you chose a fuse that is not hot all the time some of the features of some dashcams will not function (park modes)

For the new fuse do you put the same fuse as the one originally in the fuse box? So you will have for example two 10A fuses in the “add a fuse”?
your suppose to put a 10A fuse on the bottom then connect a fuse no larger than the 10A
Soooooo how do you know that your current goes through the fuse and not directly to the dash cam because you skipped a really important step?!?!...
can we put a fuse adapter with 10 A fuse to a 7.5 amp fuse socket?
The wiring should be yellow in constant power and red to ACC then black of course to ground. The way you did on the video is the opposite which can cause the dash cam on parking mode not to work.
yeap I was confused...😅
It's red to ignition yellow continue if you wire the way she says it will stay in park recording mode
I think you didn't mention installing the fuse tap correctly to the fuse box. One of the terminals on the box is hot and the other is powered thru the fuse. I think the Fuse tap should be installed with the pig tale coming from the none hot terminal.
Iroad v f770, what do you think is the better all rounder?
Oof, you went by far the easier route, I went down to the door sills mainly to avoid the airbag entirely.
If you can get the wire through the corner of the pillar you can pull it under the seal I wouldn't mess with air bags. Good video though
can we do the same for 2018 audi a6
The cameras need to be fitted to area of windscreen which is wiped clean by the wipers over wise when the windscreen gets dirty it won't see anything
does it affect your battery when it's hardwired?
also, with the placement of the rear camera, does the video quality affected by the brake light? having the camera placed right below it. thanks

How should I find where I can connect to the ground? Is it just any metal part connect to the car`s body or it`s some specific location?
ONE THIRD MAYO Any unpainted metal surface on the body will work as a ground.
The Owl Dashcam is the best
Hi there,Is that a atm fuse at cabin fuse box?
is that front camera in the wiper sweep area?
I just installed the rear camera as she did on the video but the footage is upside down? Had to take it off and turned it the other way...
Yes take it off turn it the other way and spin the camera around. Sorry about that!
is it hard to remove that 3M sticker later?
I'm confused about the red and yellow wire. I've seen other videos describing the opposite. Yellow needing constant power and red needing power when turned on
Same here. Some companies use yellow for Accessory vs constant and some the opposite.
How I wish that Mazda would listen to us and have front/rear dash cams as an official optional feature.
congrats your new car 👌
