To answer the question that 90% of the viewers probably have right now: yes, the fuse box is located on the left side for left hand driven cars. It's always where the steering wheel is, so that you won't have a shit ton of cables running through your entire dashboard from the steering wheel to the fuse box. Btw I measured all of the fuses and all of them have permanent power, not just when the ignition is on. So if you want to hardwire a dashcam with parking surveillance that needs power permanently, you can pick any fuse with a small sized fuse, like the fuse nr 204 (has 5A), which powers the diagnostic connector. I installed mine on that one with an amazon dashcam hardwire kit and it works perfectly.
thanks for this additional info, exactly what i was scratching my head and which fuse to use there!
Thanks for the info I didn't see in any tutorial. But do you happen to know where to hardwire a phone charger so it's on only when ignition is on?
As a retired mechanical engineer I must commend you on a superb video. If only more people would explain and guide especially replacing removed items. Well done.
Mate thanks for this video, helped me 100%,
This afternoon I fitted my dash cam in. With 0 electrical experience. Feel like a pro.
Thank you very much for your informative video.
I wish all You Tube guides were as good as this one - worked perfectly on my GLC 350D - WELL DONE JAMIE!
Really clear directions - everything worked perfectly. Thanks a million.
This is a first class demo! Thank you and well done!
Thanks a lot Jamie, you made it so simple with clear instruction. I wired the rear cam also following your instructions for the front cam. Well done mate!!!!
Thanks so much. Took me 20 minutes and probably would have taken me 20 hours if it weren’t for the video! Works perfectly.
This is spot on. Knowing how the trim is clipped in is the key to not damaging it. Good job well done and thank you.
Great video mate. Finally got around to doing this and your instructions made for an easy job. Thanks 😁
best installation guide i have seen on here great work
Thank you for making this installation video. Well done, Jamie!
Excellent video, just did it on my C300. It worked like a charm, perfect.
Excellent guide. Just done it on my 2019 C200, went really well. Thanks Jamie.
Brilliant guide, worked perfectly and saved me a bit of money. Cheers
Fantastic walkthrough Jamie. Very clear and descriptive guide. Thanks very much.
Thanks Jamie, worked great in my c class!
Best video explanation of this job on TH-cam, well done mate
Thanks for making this. There are so many videos up on this topic and they don't show enough detail, this was perfect.
Mate you're a legend, thank you so much!
Managed to fit mine in just an hour thanks to you, working like a charm
I just installed my dash cam and this video was so detailed and made the process extremely easy to follow. Thanks so much for this.
Thanks for the video and easy instructions Jamie. First attempt and it all works perfect thanks to this video! Legend!
You are awesome, the first tuto where i understand everything! Thx you so much
awesome step by step instructions! thanks so much for taking your time recording, explaining and sharing!
Thanks Jamie. Worked a treat on my C220.
This is one of the best guides I have seen.
Excellent tutorial..well done Jamie...did mine today with ease. Thank you.
Great video. Really clear. Everything went as you said!
Absolutely brilliant video... Followed it step by step and successfully fitted in my road angel dash cam using the same instructions and it works a dream! Thank you! Saved me £100 in fitting costs!
Wow just finished mine, thanks man this was easy. Did the back can too
Thanks. Helped massively when installing mine today 👍
Thanks for the video. Exactly that I was looking for.
Not all heroes wear capes. Thanks for the video 👍
Thanks so much for doing this video. I followed your method exactly on my C220, which I took delivery of yesterday, and it worked first time. Mine has a cigarette lighter type plug so I had to wire in a dummy socket to sit in the space behind the fuse box but the principle is identical. I did hard wire the dash cam to my previous car but seeing how all the trim is removed and where everything goes makes it so much easier, again many thanks Jamie.
Thanks for watching, glad it helped 😀
Great video thanks for making and sharing this, now I have no excuse to not hardwire my nextbase in my W205:)
great help! thanks for taking the time to do this!
This is best video explaining I have watched thank you for uploading, well done
Fantastic tutorial! Thanks mate!! 👍🏻
Fantastic video. Thank you! Clear and concise. Saved me no end of time and hassle. I personally wired it to the analogue clock 5A fuse for a permanent signal but I know some want it only to be on with the ignition like yours too. Thanks again man.
Won’t it drain your batt eventually?
A very elegant solution.worked well for 2018 c200. as mentioned by someone else, plug in fuse holder which holds 2a fuse for dashcam and 5a fuse which you have removed needs slight narrowing with a craft knife to get it to locate in fuse socket. Also I disconnected battery (earth only as this was easier) and when I powered up proximity central locking wasnt working. I reset settings on central console to "reset to factory settings" This did the trick . Thanks Jamie
Great vid, had my dasham installed in a few mintes after watching this.
Great job thanks, works a treat.
Really nice video mate👍
Perfect! Thanks Jamie. It was very similar on the A205 convertible except the A-pillar post is one piece with the trim across the top of the windscreen. Remove the sunvisor and it comes off as one. Wiring exactly the same though.
Thanks a million Jamie that was a fantastic video very helpful.
Mate that was an excellent video, thanks
Nicely done! Very good video
Hi there, Thank you for a very clear video, very simple to follow. I have now installed mine and it works fine. You will not believe what I was quoted at the dealers. Thanks again
Glad it has helped 👍🏻
Nice job Buddy, you made it look pretty easy! Just waiting on my hardwire kit and will attempt it on my E class. Thanks for sharing 🍻 liked and subbed
Absolutely brilliant mate thank you thank you
Awesome tutorial, thank you!
Really amazing video, thank you so much!
great job mate !!
Thanks for the video mate
Looks easy - doing my Dad's tomorrow thanks! Installation went well thanks to your guide.
Mark Todd just did mine, very easy using this video
Perfect guide, although my car didn't always agree with the 'should just pop out' or in. But it worked!
Great video nice install
Thank you. Really helpful video. I'll give it a go.
Michael Alexander hope it goes well, thanks for watching 😊
Good tutorial buddy! I plan on doing it too
Spot on mate thanks, will save me from snapping something when I fit mine ;-)
Paul Lambert Haha we've all been there
Thanks so much. Turned a pita job into 20 mins !
Well done!
Great step by step video. Even a novelist like myself is not scared to tackle
Great video, thanks
Thanks for the clear video guide. Do you know if the fuse box has ACC fuse? I couldn't find one except in the trunk. Hope you can help.
thanks mate. i would buy the hard wiring to give it a try too. Just wonder if it is powered 24/7?
Amazing tutorial and advice! Thank you! Quick question tho, I done everything perfectly but finding it a mission to clip the a-post back on again correctly as the ‘airbag’ tag doesn’t click back in again?
Very clear and concise, any idea of how to get the wiring through the bulkhead in a C Class that doesn't have a passenger compartment fuse box?
Thanks mate really helpful. Keep up the good work mate 🤜🏼
Moe Gekko Thanks mate, glad someone has found it useful 👍
Jamie Shaler what fuse did that power mate? And why not a permanent live instead of ignition live? Cheers
Pauljnr83 the 2 amp fuse is for the camera, the 5 amp is for vehicle ride height sensors I believe. If you use a permanent live the camera will always be on unless you physically unplug the power cable from the camera. Hope this helps
@@Pauljnr83 mighty video
Cracking video thank you very much.
Mick Griffin my pleasure, thanks
An outstandingly good video, well done. I have a 350e with complex electrics so I'm going to check the fuse you used is the same. What was the fuse powering in your car? Thanks again.
Top job. 👌
hi jamie great guide used method to fit a Garmin 55 ,switches on when ignition turned on runs okay most of the time, but sometimes beeps low battery switching off, why would it do that has it's hard wired into fuse box !!!
Good stuff 👍👍
Thanks for the video
Can I ask would it be safe to piggy back onto the airbag fuse as you are doing in the video thanks
Also should this be the same process on 2019 amg c43? Same chassis w205 so should be right?
I was about to pay someone to fit mine until i saw this. Cheers!
Thanks for this video. I thought id have to wire off the fusebox in the passenger side footwell!
Sehr informativ. Danke
conny r hope it helped
Great video- thanks for taking the time to post it. Is there any reason you didn't use the fusebox on the passenger side in the footwell?
Really great video, thanks! I noticed that you did not disconnect the battery before. How safe or risky is it considering the airbag might go off while working?
I also want to fix the dashcam but worrying about the airbag. What you or the audience would suggest? Disconnect the battery? Thanks!
very good thanks
Do you have to disconnect the battery before doing any of this? (Removing air bag clip, messing with fuse box)
Question.
I got batt power connected to alanlog clock fuse.
Can you tell me which one to connect for acc then?
Thanks.
Many thanks.
Does anyone know where is the 'switched' power source for the facelift C Class (2019)? I want the dash cam to turn on only when I start the engine.
what voltage you set to have the dash cam power off? a lot of people on the internet suggested 12v but my car, once park would only record for an hour, max 2 if set at 12V. Would 11.7v be more realistic say, for overnight or 2 days recording?
Is the fuse box same for mercedes c class 300h 2018
is it save to remove the A-post without removing the car's battery (because of the airbag below the fairing?) Thanks!
would this method work on a 2012 c250 coupe?
Hey mate, can the same fuse be used on a 2017 C43?? Thanks in advance
Thanks Jamie, Superb and Quality workmanship , I have an E class 2017 , W213 model any chance of demo how to fit dash cam to this model please , if it is not possible , could you tell me where I can locate the Fuse for the cigarette lighter . Many Thanks Alan
This is a really great video.I was able to install the dashcam using your instructions but am having trouble putting the AirBag plastic back into the A post. Any suggestions on how to push it back in
It is just push fit, maybe bend the taps inwards slightly to ease fitting
You mate are an absolute fucking legend! I have the exact same car and fitted it within a matter of minutes.
My kit has two ending because i need the park monitor ehen the car is off , where to put it
Really good video, easy to follow and I installed as per your instructions. Only observation is you did not appear to use the magnetic anti interference devise to be wrapped around the power line. Was that intentional? I used the magnetic unit and hid it in the mirror housing. . Thanks
Hi, yes the magnet wasn't used as it wasn't required. Thanks
Is always the fuse box on right side? My driver side is left not right.
I get an airbag error message after installing this. Is there a fix for this
How do we know which fuse to choose from fuse box.
