I grabbed a new Uniden iGO Cam 90R and set about installing it in a new Kia Seltos - don't let the cable dangle down from the dash, you can tidy things up with your own installation. Let me show you how to hide the cables powering your dashcam. It's easier than you think

the window pillar plastic trim (white in the video) just pulls off, grab it at the top and pull it towards you, it will pop off and the cable can be routed behind it, modern pillar trims have channels for wires built in for cameras, cabin lights, speakers, microphones etc, to refit just line up the holes with the locating lugs and slowly push it back into place, try not to push the wires into gaps with tools as squeezing wires in with tools can damage the wires, if you need to push any wires into gaps use some folded up card as that will not damage any wires, I've fitted four front & rear view cameras now and the first one I fitted I damaged the internal wires by pushing it in with a stiff plastic tool and the rear camera would not record anything, I could view the image but not record it so I had to buy a new cable and then it recorded, but to look t the cable you couldn't see any damage, so think before you use any pressure on these cables, the internal wires are very thin, just a few strands and easily broken, hope this helps anyone about to fit this type of camera, it is a good video just needs a few weeks,

Simple installation, could be better with an actual hard power wire to the fuse panel to run only when engine is turned on. As for a rear camera, just run the rear camera wire as he did for the cig lighter wire and then run the rear camera wire to the rear under the rubber seal. Be careful of the placement of the wire on that a-pillar. If there is a air bag under the molding with the wire may restrict the deployment of cut into the bag upon deployment and it will not deploy correctly. Since this is the UK there may not be an airbag in that pillar. If there is an airbag in the pillar just remove that a-pillar trim molding and run the wire UNDER the airbag,.

There ARE two: one at the back of centre console, and one WAY at the back near the hatch. Thought about using the fuse panel and that’s what I was looking for. But not sure how (hot to fuse, black grounded to metal?). Maybe splice into the rear console power at the front of the console?

Saves you money for sure, but it does need to be done safely. But paying someone to do it doesn't guarantee a safe job will be done.

And they wanted $220 for doing the job.

Most modern cars have airbags under the a-pillar trim, I don't think it is a great idea to tuck your wiring up under the rubber like that. You can pop the trim off and run the wire above the airbag but you need to know what you are doing. There is a clip that retains the trim if the airbag deploys, if you don't know how to remove them you shouldn't be attempting it. I think it is bad advice to suggest anyone puts anything between the airbag and the occupant who will be sitting in that seat.

This is a potentially hazardous way of routing cables. Nobody should route cables across the pillar in modern day cars. He is restricting the curtain airbags and could potentially get his viewers hurt if they were to get into an accident.

Thanks for taking the time to do this video. I was hoping you would show installation of the rear camera because it comes with a long cable and I have a small car so I've ended up with several feet of extra cable. How do you handle that to hide it? I've run the cable through the passenger side and now those loops of extra cable are tucked up on top of the sun visor when it's in the up position but of course, that's out of sight this minute but won't work when I need the visor down (a LOT of the time). Do you have a solution?? thanks

Does your Kia Soul have curtain airbags? Then you may want to revise 3:02 how he has routed the cable across the pillar. The cable in his instruction are routed across the curtain airbags potentially restricting the airbag if it were to go off. Whole lot of consequences to routing it like that and then having an accident. Airbag might not fully inflate, cable is flinged right into your face, and the force might unhook the power supply or rip your dashcam of the windscreen and send it flying through your car. Bad idea. Better to route the cable down the pillar on the windshield side and stay away from the airbag.

This is important! Cable/s should be placed behind any air bag. Its reasonably easy to remove the pillar cover (just check a youtube vid). Routing the cable properly and hiding behind the glove box makes a professional job all round. I generally like your work Trev, but seriously you should be putting the right message out there to the public. If your not confident to do it properly then get an expert 🙂

I don’t like this type of dashcam that plugs into the 12v. It means that it's only on when the car is turned on since power is cut off to the accessories when the car is turned off. If you have a dashcam that has a monitoring mode when parked, you have to hardwire it to the fuse box.
