Thanks for watching and drive safe!
Overall you have a great video and very well said. But you do need to correct yourself when it comes to the orientation of the Add-A-Fuse taps. It most definitely matters on which way you place the tap in the fuse box. Without adding all the technical terminology "Line", "Load", "Hot", "Cold", Etc... Their is a directional current flow that takes place. Depending on which pin carries the 12+ on your particular fuse panel will determine which way the tap is inserted. You would need to check this using your multimeter or test light on the fuse panel and see which pin is providing the 12+. If you grab your Add-A-Fuse tap and position it so that your looking at the wire pointing to the right and the pins facing down, the Left pin is your 12+ pin. That pin will be inserted into the fuse panel that you indicated as having 12+ reading. As for the fuse themselves, it does not matter what direction they are inserted into the Add-A-Fuse tap. Hope that helps those that were asking.
Thank you from Saudi Arabia. I have the same car you are working on but no one in my city finds a solution for wiring a dash cam. The best one of them told me I will wire your dash cam to the battery which I don't want because I want the camera turns on when the engine is on and turned off when the engine is off. However, I showed him your video and within an hour he finished wiring.
We're so glad to hear feedback like this. Thank you so much for taking the time to write this comment! Be safe out there.
What an excellent, clear and concise explanation of how to install all components. Well spoken and perfectly videoed. I couldn't have done it better myself 😊- well done.
Thank you Bob!
Bob Brownridge. YUP....awesome and clear explanation
All good if you don't plan on needing the A pillar air bag deploying uninhibited by a wire. Other than that, good stuff.
Awesome job in your explanation 5 stars buddy
Terimakasih video pencerahannya sangat membantu dan bermanfaat
Sama sama!
I could've sworn he took out the wrong fuse 😂😂😂
yes he did checked ones near pink fuses the he place them in others strange
It's important to say it actually matters which orientation to plug in the fuse taps. If the fuse tap blade is plugged in the wrong side it'll bypass the fuse and it will have constant power leavening you without protection incase of a short or overload.
Hi there! In the traditional sense, yes, the fuse taps do have a 'correct' orientation. The reason we stated the orientation is not important in this sense is due to the fact that there is still an in-line fuse in the BlackVue power cable that is between the camera and the fuse tap. Therefore, the secondary fuse tap fuse is actually redundant. We hope that clarifies our statement.
The Dashcam Store ah. Thank you.
A very detailed video. Absolutely amazing 👌
Thank you Farhad!
there are orientation for the fuse.
Thank you for explaining the fuse box hardwiring. That was extremely helpful. Dont know why everyone else always skips that part.
Trust me I've seen all the videos for this dash cam installation in this one is the best one detailed thank you.
Japanese. I am watching from Japan😃
I have taught high school science for 37 years and this is one of the best and clearest tutorials (for something which is foreign to me) I have seen. Well done! A great tutorial. I might have to have a go at installing my Blackvue 650S, myself, after seeing this. I live in Australia so you're unlikely to see me in your store (unfortunately).
Well done, and thanks for sharing with us.
Great video, well done .
I guess it matters which side the 5amp supplied fuse is on. I installed and none of the circuits I used worked after installing. The pmp worked, but my windows and whatever I used didn't.
You definitely want to keep the 2 fuses in their correct respective locations, as per the included instructional diagram. Thank you for the feedback!
@@Thedashcamstore yes sir, that did it. I didn't pay attention the first time. 🤣 After a couple blown fuses I figure it out . LoL.
Great detailed.explanations. Wonderful camera work. You sir, are the man to do all install videos. Great job! The only thing I can add is show all components in a wide view, after complete installation. Also, show the view of the cameras working after install. Again, great video.👍
very nice instalation well done
Does the ground wire need to be utilized for the PMP to turn on?
Hey Eric! Yep, in order to complete the circuit and have the PMP function properly, the ground wire has to be connected to a proper grounding point. Hope this helps!
There's something about the hot and cold side of the fuse slot he missed. If not lined up properly, there is a possibility of damage to the electrical.

At counter 14:00 - You claim that "if what to film from 'inside' the car, we can simply ROTATE the cam." But when I told this to my installer, he says that (with proper orientation for outside veiwing), rotating the cam from viewing outside to the inside as YOU DEMONSTRATE in the video, would invert the source view and rocrd upside down. So which is it?
+ Clan Killas Gaming! Technically, you and your installer are correct: rotating the cam from viewing outside to the inside would invert the source view and record upside down. We're saying one quick solution would be to rotate the camera to record inside your vehicle. The recorded image will be upside down, but the image can easily be flipped the right way using the BlackVue playback software. Hope that helps!
The rear camera needs to have more slack if the rear window opens separate from the hatch. Otherwise, the cable connection gets destroyed when it is open. Make sure to test this if you have an opening window. (Voice of experience.) Great tutorial!
Excellent bit of advice, thank you for that!
Brilliant! You did a great job! We can see what you're woking on, you explain clearly, and you install it right! (There are some scary-bad guides on TH-cam.)
Hello, very good video! I want to buy a dashcam with parking mode but when I remove the ignition there is no more current in the cigarette lighter. Suddenly the camera will discharge .. I did not understand why you do not connect to the fuses which have current even without the key on the ignition so that the dashcam is connected continuously .. thank you for your answer!
Hi Eldin, in the video we demonstrate connecting to fuses that have current when the key is off, as you suggested.
@@Thedashcamstore thank you so much
Great video. received this product as a gift. If I want to have it record essentially24/7 do I leave the Power Magic Pro switch on all the time? If so, I should be able to bury the Power Magic Pro, no?
+TOM BARBERIO That's right, the Power Magic Pro will enable you to record at all times. We'd still recommend leaving the box accessible to the driver in some form or fashion (hidden in the glove box, perhaps) as you will want to turn the camera off at some point most likely.
Hi, thanks for the tuto ! Just a little problem for the black wire... I cannot find any place in my car (Audi A3 8V Sportback), I did the same as you, but it's not working and if I don't block the wire behind the screw, on top (sparks)...
Should I just put the wire on the screw like the (I put on the fuse for the red and yellow wire) ?
Thanks for your help
Hi GabeMoltes, thanks for watching. You may need to extend the black ground wire if there is not a good ground point within reach of the Power Magic Pro. Please remember it might be helpful to consult with a professional in your area, as seeing sparks is never a good thing when working with the vehicle electrical system!
Yes, I just contacted the BlackVue team for more infos...
I'm actually waiting to change my tire (winter-> spring) and talk to my garagist to do it. I will be better IMO.
Thanks for the tuto, at least, I did all the start of the manipulation, just this ground thing... I don't understand.
After watching this. Makes things so much clearer 😊. Thanks
I think it matters which way you insert a fuse tap in fuse slot.
Hi there! In the traditional sense, yes, the fuse taps do have a 'correct' orientation.

Actually the orientation of a fuse into a fuse slot is inconsequential as the fuse is just a link between two +power wires that enables the flow of voltage/amperage from the battery source to the load.
Can you make a video of removing hatchback door trim?
Nice video! I have a question that the way you set 3,4,5 seems like for 6 minute timer. Shouldn't those be pulled downwards for infinity.
Hi John,
You're right, the still image as shown is set to 6 hours but you would want to move them down for infinity. Thanks for watching and for pointing that out!
Best regards,
-The Dashcam Store Team
you should point out that fuse taping is only safe for very low amperage devices such as dashcams , if you use a fuse tap for high amperage demand you can damage the cars electrical system. for high amperage devices you need to isolate the circuit with a relay and get power directly from the battery, and use the fuse tap to trigger the relay .
Hi Rafa, thank you for sharing that information. Considering the context of the video, we only suggest using the fuse taps with dashcams.
nice video good explanation thanks
thanks for the video this made it much easier
Excellent tutorial! Doing research and thinking about getting this model from you guys next weekend.
Any tutorials for a 2015 - 2016 Subaru WRX / STI??
The 2ch system is a no Brainer. Very well detailed video and website.
Hand Salute!
Lol I feel confident now.
can you please help me can I install 3 cameras in my car? I want to install the blackvue DR900s front and rear camera and IR camera for the interior
We recommend a setup like this, where you use the DR900S-2CH-IR for front + interior, and the DR900S-1CH for the rear: www.thedashcamstore.com/blackvue-dr750s-2ch-ir-dr750s-1ch-the-cloud-connected-rideshare-dashcam-bundle/
questions
1) cant i just wrap the red and yellow wire directly to my 10a and 7.5a fuse and ground the wire -
2) since the hardwire kit already comes with 5v 1.5a output - what will be the point of add a fuse with 2a piggy bank
3) does the fuse have positive and negative side
Hi Miles,
1) Yes you can do this, the fuse taps just make the installation a little easier and safer
2) BlackVue dashcams actually operate on 12v input (not 5v). Again, the fuse taps are just a convenience item and the added fuse is redundant as there is another in-line fuse in the actual BlackVue power cord as well.
3) Fuses themselves are just a pass-through so we wouldn't necessarily state that they have a positive and negative side
Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns!
1) reply to line 2 - - dat means even if i decided to use add a fuse - i dont have to use the 2a fuse at top - only the 10a at bottom and leave the top spot empty - since u said there is another in-line fuse in BlackVue power cord
2) does blackvue hardwire kit equip with low voltage cut out and if yes at what voltage will dvr turn off to save car battery
1) You still need to use the additional fuse in the fuse tap since without the fuse, the power for the camera will not be able to pass through the fuse tap.
2) Yes the Power Magic Pro has low-voltage cut-off, the cut-off voltage can be set to 12 or 12.5v
Very well explained video. Is there any worry with the airbags going off when working the cable around them? Thank you.
Thanks for watching! The risk of inadvertently setting off an airbag while routing a cable near them is extremely low (it takes a *significant* impact event to trigger the airbag system in a vehicle). It wouldn't hurt to disconnect your vehicle battery before the installation process, for a bit of added insurance if you like.
The Dashcam Store
Thanks for the reply it's very much appreciated. After watching your very well explained videos few times I decided to have a go at installing front and rear cameras on my Toyota truck, being very careful around the airbag areas, and managed without any problems and all wiring nicely out of sight. Many thanks once again for the great video. Keep up the great work.
Glad you were able to get it all done! We appreciate the feedback!
I your video the fuse tap comes with a 5A fuse. Do i need this fuse or can i just use the fuse from the fuse box? Also regarding find a fuse that's on all the time and one that is on with the ignition can i just try different fuses as i dont have the kit to test the fuses?
+Prajat Gupta You will need to use the fuse that comes in the fuse tap since this is a new circuit that is only for the dashcam. The test light is a very inexpensive tool (less than 10 dollars) that we recommend, it will save a good bit of time rather than the trial-and-error approach!
My car is MAZADA 3 2010. The fuse i use is low profile. Can I use the same fuse as your ( the orange & 5)??
Hello! Please e-mail support @ thedashcamstore . com for detailed technical assistance!
The switch settings you show seem to be 12v and 6 hours, not infinity? Please advise.
+Chris Policastro Sorry if the video isn't clear, here are the recommended dip switch settings for most automobiles: thedashcamstore.com/product_images/uploaded_images/thedashcamstore.com-recommended-power-magic-switch-settings.jpg
I should've bought my dashcam straight from you instead of Amazon. I didn't even get any fusetaps
No arguments here :)
Me either
i just got a BlackVue and have a 16 Tahoe (pretty much the same thing as a 15 Suburban). great video!
What an excellent and well talked through video, thanks for this :)
Thank you Osmo B!
Is the supplied fuse included in the fuse tap 5 amp? Is this safe for the PM Pro?
Can you confirm as the PM Pro guide appears to suggest 2 amp as a maximum?
+jetvlog Depending on the type of fuse tap, the rating of the fuse we include will be either 2, 3, or 5 amps. The rating of this fuse is not significant since the BlackVue in-line fuse (in the power cord) is still retained when the Power Magic Pro is used. So yes, these fuse taps, even with 5amp fuses, are completely safe to use with the BlackVue system!
@@Thedashcamstore What about with 10 or 15 amp fuses? Still redundant yes? :)
Hello

The only thing I don’t like about doubling up fuses is you are drawing to many amps through the cable. To many amps could cause a fire if the cable isn’t able to handle that amount of amps.
Why every one of my fuses lights on even when the vehicle is off?
Most likely your vehicle has a delay circuit and is not fully "turned off" yet.
The orientation of the Fuse tap is important!... Looks like you got both fuse-taps the wrong way around - however - which way the fuse goes around doesn't matter.
Hi there! In the traditional sense, yes, the fuse taps do have a 'correct' orientation.

Great video, I am going to install a dr 750(instead of the 900 series because the 750 does better in the heat) on my Tahoe, same model also. The only minor problem I see is that when installing it this way you can no longer open the rear glass window while keeping the whole tailgate down. there is no slack in the wire to allow you to open the window or it will pull on the wire. But I hardly ever just open the rear glass anyways so not really a big deal. if you left some slack to allow the rear window to open separate from the tailgate it would not be a clean looking install as there would be a few inches of excess wire hanging down when the rear window is closed. I am correct here? I can't think of a solution to this problem. Again thank man for the diy video
Hello, thanks for watching the video! You're right that the cable to the rear camera can be an issue with opening the window and/or the tailgate. We actually developed a solution for this problem, please click here to check it out: www.thedashcamstore.com/custom-folded-bracket-for-secondary-dashcam-lenses/
@@Thedashcamstore Thank you, just bought them, works great!
I have a 2022 Ford Explorer and none of the fuses listed indicates “ACC” nor “switch”….
Can I just ask , can you have the Magic Pro constantly on so it can be hidden away within the actual fuse box? I have a slight OCD and would much prefer to have this away not shown
Of course! You can hide the control module (leaving the on/off switch in the on position), and it will function just fine that way. Thank you for watching!
Can the box be used on a Vigo camera ?
We're not familiar with that model but the Power Magic Pro can be used for any 12v plug-in dash cam.
Simple and clear explanation !!!! 👍
wow this an excellent tutorial. i have no knowledge at anything electrical but this will really help me a lot when i buy a 2 channel dashcam. thanks a lot.
Thank you for watching, and for the kind words, we appreciate that!
Was looking for an review but ended up watching the full tutorial. Even with experience in the automotive industry I found the video very appealing and informative. Even though it was not an review, I got to see the camera, switch box and cables so I have an idea how I will do it in my car.
Very good, thumbs up and subbed!
Thank you Jan Erik! Much appreciated.

Hi I know this was 6 yrs ago but every video I've seen on fuse taps that they have to go in a certain way, the left side of the tap is the hot 12 volts and must be put in the hot side of the fuse socket, please correct me if i am wrong but thats what ive seen on many videos,

I''m no auto electrical expert, but am pretty sure the orientation of the fuse tap IS important. The dash cam fuse will typically be smaller than the fuse being tapped into. Inserted with the incorrect orientation could result in virtually no protection for the dash cam, couldn't it?
Will all of this including the power Magic Pro black box be able to be installed on a Swedish Version of an Opel Corsa 2011 year model?
Great video by the way :D
+TheGTAVIIMaster/ Alingsås Dashcam Hello! There should not be any reason why this system could not be installed in an Opel Corsa. Thank you!
Skipped the ground wire connection?...but other than that Job Well Done! 👍🏻👌🏼
Skip to 06:17 - Explaining ground wire location
The problem of this tutorial is that the wire might block the driver's airbag. You have to w make sure that the wire goes behind the airbag. Otherwise the airbag won't be able to pop out completely.
I have a fuse bypass from Carpoint which looks the same as yours. Where i do need to put the blackvue fuse? on top or below or doesnt that matter? And what amps fuse do i need for power magic pro. I own an DR650S. 5 amps fuse?
i.imgur.com/ldH9U7E.jpg
Oxizee, the fuse for the dashcam goes into the top slot (furthest from the metal prongs). A 5A fuse is more than enough for a BlackVue dashcam.
The amazon reviews for that BlackVue Power Magic Pro Hardwire Kit are pretty bad.
38% of the 156 ratings give it 1 star out of 5. Many seem to receive a unit that does not work, and many report units failing within months. Its kind of off putting.
Hi Daz, we would agree that the negative reviews on Amazon are concerning. Our experience with the Power Magic Pro is that they are extremely reliable devices, and easily 99% of the issues people experience with them are due to improper installation or setup, or a lack of understanding as to how exactly the device functions. You'll see that when people can get proper assistance/support when installing and setting up the Power Magic, our customers do not have the same issues as those on Amazon. See for yourself the reviews here: www.thedashcamstore.com/blackvue-power-magic-pro-battery-discharge-prevention-module/
@@Thedashcamstore Thank you, for 30 bucks I was thinking it would be worth a punt, I see there is a similar product that plugs into the cars OBD port, Have you any experience with these?

Hi Curtis, we definitely have! The C7's also have a fuse box in the trunk area near the battery, so you can tie in to the fuse box there.

Hey awesome video, I wish I was closer to you guys so that I could bring by my Silverado. I have a question I was hoping you could answer for me. I want to install this dash cam system and need it to run all the time. If I tell it to run even when it is off do you know if it will cause me problems with my battery? Even if the vehicle is off for several days?
+Jordan Robinson That's the beauty of the Power Magic Pro, it will watch your truck's battery voltage when the engine is off, and if it gets below 12 or 11.8v, it will turn the camera off so that your battery won't be dead when you return. A strong car battery will have no problem powering this system for several days without issue.
Was the timer set at 12v and 6 hours cut off?
great video, very helpful!! Now I don't have to read the owners manual!! Fuck I hate reading. I have a 2016 Ram 2500, is there an aftermarket rear camera mount so I can mount it to the headliner because the rear window slides, which would not make it center. I know there is a truck model that has the exterior camera but I can't justify spending more money and drilling the roof. Thank you sir
+ALL KNOWING BILLY Thanks! On trucks with sliding rear windows, we recommend mounting them on the glass to the side of the sliding window (away from the direction that the center glass slides), here's an example image:thedashcamstore.com/content/Ford-F150-BlackVue-DR650GW-2CH-Install/thedashcamstore.com-blackvue-dr650gw-2ch-f150-installation-37.jpg
Wouldnt the mouting location of this rear camera cause the camera to yank right off when just the glass is opened? @The Dashcam Store did you end up moving the location or changing the wiring? This is why the defrosters use coiled cords. THANK YOU for the great video.
Hi Charlie, you're right. In this particular case the customer did not want to use their rear glass opening so the slack cable length was not an issue. We developed this solution for customers who would like to have a rear-facing camera with a rear glass opening like this Suburban: www.thedashcamstore.com/custom-metal-mounting-bracket-for-adhesive-dashcam-lenses/
when you installed the fuse tap you stated that it does NOT matter for the orientation [@ 5:58]. You are incorrect, the orientation of installation does matter. you need to check the fuse socket for line and load position and install the fuse tap in the same orientation. So, once you pull the existing fuse, test the fuse holder for which terminal has +12 volts ( in your case, which lite up your test probe), then insert the Add-a-circuit tap with the load pigtail orientated opposite (away ) from the Line (hot, +12v) terminal.
Hi there! In the traditional sense, yes, the fuse taps do have a 'correct' orientation. The reason we stated the orientation is not important in this sense is due to the fact that there is an in-line fuse in the BlackVue power cable that is between the camera and the fuse tap.

Thanks for the detailed video. From what I could see, it looks like you mounted the front camera's sticky pad in the center of the windshield. If so, the lens is now off center (is more to the left).
Great educational video
was told here I can ship to australia go to pay and then told NO get it right not bloody happy
Our apologies for the inconvenience. Sorry for the confusion.
Nice video and clear explanation I could install mine by my self on my 200 Lc and not paying 250$ to Electritian 😂
Can you reduce the length of the cord coming from the back camera, to the front?
my power magic pro didn't come with the fuse tap .. hope i bought the right one on Amazon
Great video, it took myself about a hour installing my DR900S-2CH after watching this, i was lucky that i had a constant fuse(engine off) and spare fuse for none constant.
Cant point out how important the ground point is , the pro wont work if you do not find a good ground.
One thing i am not fully sure off is the magic pro which i set to 12 v (¨...) how do i find out if i can set it to 12 volts.
When measuring the voltage of on a constant , i get 12.5 approximately.
Is there a way to measure if i can go down to 12v.
Also my schematic in the pro manual differs from yours and i have settings 12v, 12.5v, 22,8v, 23,2v. and you have this 1:46
Hi Storm, thanks for watching and glad our video was helpful to you. In general the 12.0v setting on the Power Magic is just fine for most vehicles that are driven regularly. Regarding the voltage level differences, the Power Magic Pro has been revised since this video was filmed to have settings for 12.0 and 12.5 rather than 11.8 and 12.0v. Cheers.
Can the Blackvue Magic Pro handle to full sets of 650s? Or 4 channels to be clear.
Hi Bugs Bunny, the Power Magic Pro has only one power output socket, so technically you can only plug in one dashcam system to that socket. We recommend using one Power Magic Pro per BlackVue camera system, to keep everything functioning properly (we have installed plenty of multi-system setups like this with great results).
The Dashcam Store I see. Thank you so much for the reply. Great video
You're very welcome! Thank you for watching.
Thanks for the tutorial, pretty clear and straight forward. I'm looking to install this same model on a 2013 Camaro. Is there any precautions I need to take for this specific car?

+Modified. It might take you cycling your vehicle's key from off to on once in order to start the Power Magic Pro for the first time.
I have a question the additional fuse that goes into the fuse tap does it matter the color and the number on the fuse? Or do I need to get one that matches with the one I pulled out of the fuse box to put in the fuse tap?
The fuse for the "new" circuit (for the dashcam) does not need to match the rating of the fuse from the fuse box. The new fuse you use for the dashcam should be very low amperage (i.e.

Absolutely the very BEST video on this subject. I have wondered what fuse to use in the addon circuit. I can see by this you used 5 amp. I am installing the BlackVue 750. Thanks!
Hi John! You want to use a small fuse for the dashcam: 2, 3 or 5A. The actual power draw of the BlackVue system is less than 0.5A.
Thanks for this video, and I also bought DR650GW-2CH from thedashcamstore.com
Would you mind to tell me is there any different installation for Toyota Camry 2015 ?
+SH KH Hello! There shouldn't be any major differences with installing the BlackVue in your Camry. Here you can see an example of the DR650GW-1CH (single lens) in a 2008 Camry: thedashcamstore.com/blackvue-dr650gw-1ch-installation-in-a-2008-toyota-camry-hybrid/
question ! I used multimeter to find a constant power fuse and a off then on by engine on. however, voltage check shows all my fuses are constant. Do I need different way to check ?
You may need to check a different fuse box in your vehicle! Your owner's manual should have some more information regarding that. Have you checked out our video about finding switched fuses? th-cam.com/video/nINz6mKvOf0/w-d-xo.html
An excellent first class tutorial but I have just one question. If I were to disconnect the front camera & remove it, then put it back again a couple of hours later, would it cause any problems.
Cheers,
Nope - all within normal operation of the cam. The dashcam will do a thorough boot and run through the config to ensure all is well.
Is this safe to use on different amp fuses in one or should be the same Amp? Thanks
good evening brother.
so my question is: I do have empty slots in my car fuse panel. so i should pick 2 slots and they should be hot and cold or both hot ? or i pick the 2 slots which goes on when i start the engine?
Good evening! You need one fuse slot that is hot all the time and one that is switched (hot when the engine is started). Good luck!
Hi. What type of Fuse Taps do I need? I drive a 2013 Mustang. Don't know what type of fuse it use. Thanks.

im buying one
Very clear instruction. Thank you!
+Nguyen Man You're welcome! Thanks for watching :)
Why do you put two fuses in the fuse tap slots? Aren't you supposed to just use the fuse that you take out from the car's fuse box?
The fuse that is taken from the fuse box and put in the fuse tap is strictly for the original circuit in the vehicle. The second fuse is for the "new" circuit that is being added and is only for the dashcam.
Question.
Why you have 5 amp in the fuse a tab and tab into a 15 amp, shouldn't both be 15 amps in the fuse a tab ?
The fuse tap is "adding" a new, independent circuit to the fuse box, therefore the fuse rating does not need to be identical.
Do you have any dash cam that has the suction mount? I sometimes have to park in sketchy neighborhoods and would like the option of removing the dash cam from the windshield so that it doesn't attract a would-be thief. Thanks.
+Hydragurum We have several models with suction cups here: thedashcamstore.com/basic-dashcams/
use a blend mount that hooks up to your rear view mirror stem
Can you turn the front camera all the way around in the event you get pulled over and want to record the inside of the vehicle?
+leechSucka Yes, the front (and rear) camera body can be rotated to face inward should the need arise!
