    That loose terminal could contact the uncovered ground terminal easily. Better to cover it with some heat shrink.

    you should really explain the wire for people who dont know that it is important to plug into the right prong. come on now.

    I was about to cut the whole wire and put a new connector. Thank you for this vid. I just have to remove it like you did. ❤

    Just fitted mine but also added one to to the vent at the rear off car. There's no ashtray on my vent. On my veloce 2018 the connection clips are not standard spades so had to improvise.

      of course it matters. positive to positive and negative to negative. read instructions and know your cable color meanings.

    Hi, I can't get the 12V socket out, there's a little black piece of plastic that holds the socket and is too big to get through the hole, not sure how to do now, there's not much room

    Marcus Motors, do you have video of where to connect the DVR? If the camera is placed on the windshield and you need to hide the cable. Many thanks!

    • @marcus_motors_
      @marcus_motors_  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi? I don't have one. But if it's going behind or near the rear view mirror, I would tuck into the headliner, down the pillar then to the fuse box in the drivers footwell. Then piggy back on a source that works with the ingnition or interior lights 👍🏻

      Hi mate, there's no end of variants with and without cables in the pack, I just went with the look and didn't use the wires. If you watch from about 3:20 once I'd taken the connector block off, it's just the two connections 👍

      was just wondering about the reliability. I had one once that played up and would blow the car fuse every time it was used. Im fitting one a the front and cutting a hole to fit the other at the back near to the rear vent so kids have their own usb charging.

      Ahhh got ya, I mean I haven't had any problems and I can't see it wearing as it's not a moving part if you know what I mean. But only had it on 9 months, so that as far as I can vouch for haha
