Grizzlee Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 Looking to hardwire my dash cam in as I can't stand all the wires hanging around. What is the best route to get from the windscreen to the fuse box, and just how difficult a job is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T24RES Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 It's not difficult, work from the interior lights, remove the sunvisorand, then the piece between there & the A pillar trim. Just be mindful that the cheaper dash cams can cause interference with the fm radio tuner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said radio reception at the best, is pretty poor. Is getting from top of the dash down to the fuse box easy enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toeside Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 You can usually work the wires into the trim strips and feed over to the passenger side 12v outlet. Wiring is mostly concealed. When you look at the options on the trim strips you'll figure it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Ken Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 But my 12v outlet is live all the time. I want to wire mine into a switched circuit. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perleman Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 Yes, buy a piggy back blade for the fuse box and use a switched fuse socket - something like this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x-Standard-Add-A-Circuit-Fuse-Box-Holders-Piggy-Back-Adaptor-Car-ATO-ATC-ACU/322507617095?hash=item4b16f3b347:g:U7QAAOSwOMdZVLiG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
