Thank you for this video. very much appreciated. i was going to get this installed by my local garage for who quoted me £110. after watching this installed it my self in 5 minutes lol. Thanks to you.

Just fitted my dashcam today in my 2013 corsa, after watching your video. It was easy to do and only took me 20mins to do. Thanks.

Great guide, thank you. Very simple, straightforward, and easy to understand. Made fitting my camera a breeze.

Here is a Tip. I did not have a Female E 11mm Torx socket set. I did not want to buy a whole set for the sake of one nut. However found a cheap solution. All you need to a set of pliers, all I did was just grabbed the nut and turned it, came loose in seconds. Once loose, use your fingers to un-tighten more and then install the 'U' earth ground wire. Then use the pliers to tighten again.

Thanks for posting. Just got a Corsa and was thinking of routing the cable a longer way round so this helped make things easier and tidier.

Got a dashcam at Christmas and this video really helped, I was able to order the correct cable and the best connections I needed. Installed the cam myself in 15 mins , thanks very much

What a clever idea to put zip ties so the cable doesn't fall out. Great advice. Thank you very much

Great Video. Made fitting so easy. Took no more than 30 mins from start to finish. Many thanks.

Great video, really easy to follow and made the fitting of my sons cam a simple 20min job. Many thanks.

Thanks again, used the 3Amp and it worked perfectly. Only left do is to cable tie. I was using velcro but realised it could be a fire hazards so using electrical tape and cable ties. Thanks again.

Very helpful, thank you so much! Great tip with cable ties to stop wire dropping from the headlining.

Thanks for the tutorial I just used an ordinary socket on the star shaped earth bolt thing worked a treat . Made it easy thanks

Useful video, I was worried about fitting my DashCam especially finding an earth but this video really helps, thanks

gonna install a dash cam on my corsa, really helpful and thorough, thanks

Wow - fantastic video. I'll be doing this for my son.

Excellent video. Thanks so much for making it.

Thanks for that just installed a 322GW on a 2014 Corsa.

Great vid, about to fit the same camera to my son’s Corsa.

As Ron Manser also posted here 7 months ago there is importantly a right way and a wrong way to insert the fuse tap into the fusebox socket..It must be inserted into the live end section of the fuse box slot you are inserting the fuse tap into..use your probe to find the live side terminal of the empty fuse slot and make sure the fuse tap points the correct way up..

I used the left hand side because I run my camera 24/7. Everything from bumps to keying has happened while my car was parked. Although having the connector upside down means there's basically no fuse for the camera because it won't fit in otherwise. Having said THAT, it's a 1 amp camera and the smallest fuse I would get was 3 amps anyway, so either something in the hardwire kit or the camera will fail before the car catches fire.

brilliant guide made it so easy..

Excellent video many thanks

Thanks! Your video made it super simple!

It occured to me today that there is a right and wrong way to fit these fuse taps, put it the wrong way round and the current will follow through both fuses for the take off wire.

Great information, 👍 Thank you .

Hi great stuff ,many thanks.

Great instructional video. Good info, good presentation, and good preparation. There’s so many unintentionally bad ‘how to’s’ out there, it’s good to see one done properly. I’m looking for a small size dash cam…any recommendations in the budget range? Thanks very much.

Great video but why would you connect to a switched fuse?. I’ve installed a nextbase 522 in my vehicle plus a rear camera connected to a permanent supply which means the cameras are working night and day to record anyone damaging my vehicle while parked etc.

Thanks, very helpful.

Great video. My camera has functionality to be able to operate when the engine is off and parked. The fuse you suggested is only live when the ignition is on. Which fuse should i use instead?

Actually a god send that i just so happen to have the same model car :)

Great tip mate! Thank you a lot!

Thank you for the video, just what I was after. 1 question though. How long after switching off the car will the camera record for? I wanted mine hardwired so that it records and then cut off before the car battery goes flat

Great video ,did you make one on how to fit a reversing camera to a Vauxhall Corsa 2009?

Thank you veryy much!

fits better if you take the glove box out

Good video,very well explained.I have a 2013 plate Corsa and would like to fit a dashcam.Just one point..Don't you lose the time and date everytime you switch off if the camera doesn't have a permanent live supply to it? I do know that cameras do have an on/off button on the unit itself so wouldn't it need a permanent live supply to retain it's correct time and date?

hi nice tip. i have vauxhall corsa 2017 model. i do not know where to earth. i cannot find any small bolts to attaced to that. i going to use cigarette lighter fuse but it is 30amp fuse is that ok? please help me

Good video but can you explain re earth cable fitting to hex. bolt...at 8min 31 there seems to be some sort of plastic bracket blocking access to bolt, video cuts then resumes with earth cable connected to bolt at 8min 35 and the bracket blocking bolt is no longer there..did you have to completely remove it to access hex. bolt?]

What about the airbag in the a-pillar? Do you need to disconnect the battery?

Hi great video well explained. i have recently bought the nextbase 522gw. i had my old 612gw wired by a pro. the hard wire kit is similar. i took the old wiring from the dash all the way to the fuse box. i copied the exact way the pro connected the fuse. when i tried pulling the old wire out the earth wire is hid and cant find. it behind the glove box some where. i have a 2016 corsa. would you know were the earth wire would be attached. thanks keep safe

Hi mate great vid, could I still use the 3amp fuse socket that you used as I don't have a heated steering wheel anyway, and then add a 10 amp fuse spur for my aftermarket headunit?

Thanks for the video, really helpful! Much appreaciated! Three questions: 1. At around 5:43, you measure the voltage with the red probe. Where is the black probe connected to? Is it connected to ground (any metal surface (no paint) of the car?) 2. I am planning to use my dash cam in parking mode and am required to use one of the fuses on the left. Which one should I use? I was thinking about fuse number 5 from the top (yellow fuse) which according to the manual is the Windscreen Washer System, so that in case the fuse tap accidentally disconnects nothing vital in the car shuts down? Would that be ok? 3. Have you ever used the top connections/fuses (Number 1 and 8 in the manual)? They are listed as blank in the manual, does current even passes through them? I was thinking I might use these two and avoid interfering with the car's electronics. Cheers

hi i installed sony aftermarket head unit to corsa d 2013 with connects 2 steering wheel controls .ive not connected the red and black wires to power the head unit as its all working fine without these wires .and have been for couple months now .why is it working without the wires connected up .it powers up when ignition key is turned im so puzzled .thanks

Great video

Hi, I have a 2015 vauxhall Corsa SE, i have an area in the center of the screen at the top, where a manufactures camera etc that recognizes speed signs, this area has a covering, would i be able to put a very small camera in there and somehow connect it up to the intel system in the car. If this is not possible, what about the speckled area of the glass, as camera would need a clear sight. What camera would you suggest as i want a front and rear facing one, also have reversing camera that view comes from intel system. I guess the camera would need to be fitted on nearside of car, sorry its so long, many thanks Barry.

Great video :) thank you!

Great video. Is the installation similar for a 2018 Vauxhall Corsa?

How would you install the rear camera? As my kit has a dash and rear camera

Will the 3amp work for fitting a multi media screen and wiring a connection ?

Would that work on my 2015 Corsa? Without hardwire. I mean tucking the wire in the front in?

Don't suppose you've done a late model Transit? Mk8. Buying one soon and want to hardwire the Nextbase.

i have a zafira B and the fuse box is under the bonnet so how do i get mine connected?

Where do you ground the multi-meter inside the car when testing the fuse voltage?

Hi great video. It's made me feel I can do the install myself. One thing I'd like to know before I do is, I'm wanting to use the parking mode on my Nextbase 612. So with that in mind it will need power when the ignition is off. Which fuse do I look for in order to choose the correct one. On a 2016 Corsa EcoFlex. Kind Regards.

Anyone know the best way to do this for a 2007 Astra. Fuse box seems to be in the boot instead of glovebox?

Great video mate. At 10:12 when your showing the voltage, you have one multimeter connector on the fuse, where are you putting the second wire?

Hi which fuse is live for pernanet dashcam recording please

Can the piggy back be put into a slot without a fuse in already?

Very helpful video, I have a 2008 Corsa SXI, if I use the very same fuse you have used in this video should it be exactly the same? I have no tool for testing voltage to see what is active with and without ignition

Hi bud, I can't seem to get a e11 hex socket from anywhere, is there any other place the earth can be connected apart from under the fuse box? Appreciate your help

Struggling to ground it to the bolt shown in the video, are there any other ones nearby that maybe easier to access? Cheers

I’ve got a Vauxhall Combo C and I’m trying to replace the factory radio. All I have left to do is wire up the power cable to my fuse box but fuse box is under the hood and there is no internal one. Also no spare connection behind my cigarette socket. Any ideas?

How will I hard wire dash cam,with parking mode in Astra H 2006 as fuse box is in the rear inside boot.

PJs projects can i take from the same port as you for my double din?its the heating steering wheel and my model doesn't have one,thanks a lot for your time

I have a 2015 Vauxhall mokka and am fitting a front and rear dash cam. Would this be a similar setup as shown in this video

I was just wondering which fuse is for the lighter in the car ?

Can you shoe me which fuse is for what I have Vauxhall corsa D 2007 I want to know which fuse is for which part eg electric window interior light etc

In your experience, on the Corsa 08's the number plate on the back is quite low, I don't mind the rear camera being mounted low but have you had any great success in locations for the rear on this car, currently got it looking out my back window, could like it mounted outside

Hey pj just wondering where you’d put the earth on a corsa e as the fuse box is slightly different to the d ..... looking to fit a dash cam and can’t seem to locate a good earthing point around that area

What amp of fuse do u put in the piggyback after putting the one for the car in it tia

Is there an always live fuse to tap into ? For dash cams with parking guard?

Thanks so much, I have the 2009 corsa with the same exact fuse layout and it was very easy to follow. Question, so the earth U ring, you said your were going to chop it off and put a O ring which I am thinking f doing for more stability. When you were attaching it, did you just crimp it on, or just used electrical tape. Thanks again.

Hello, how do you know that fuse you connected it to (showing E) is 3amp and what it is used for? Also, when you’re testing the voltage with the multimeter, where are you touching the Common probe?? Cheers?

I only want it on when ignition is on (no parking mode). Do I blank off the 'Batt' wire or splice it with the 'Acc' wire ?

Hello,for an installation of a double din aftermarket radio in corsa d,can i put the splitter circuit in the 3rd port of inside fuse box that is the 20amp fuse for the original radio?if yes how amps for the the new fuse?thanks a lot

My hardwire kit didnt come with a fuse adapter. Where did you get yours from?

I'll be hardwiring a 412gw over the weekend to the same vehicle, if I put it on the same fuse as you does that circuit power up at the first click of the key or the 2nd? Thanks.

Hi great video.Unfortunately a fuse box in a Peugeot 208/2008 is very difficult to get to.Is there any way around this? Cheers Steve

Sadly I could get it to work. Did everything you said. But no joy

how hard would this be to do on a mercedes c220 coupe? 2014

can i use this same type of fuse spur to connect the red power cable from my ISO wiring harness connector when i fit my kenwood car stereo in my 2008 CORSA D??? can u post an ebay link for the fuse spur that i would need to buy please. many thanks!!!

Great video! Is the setup the same for a Vauxhall Corsavan 2010? Cheers Gav

Very helpful video, thanks. I have a question, my aftermarket dab is getting interference even tho I have used the filter. I know nothing about electrics, would adding another filter make any difference at all?

Might this be applied to a SatNav as well..?

hi. great video. one question, if i have a spare fuse location in fuse box, could i use that as long as it powers when ignition is on? or doi have to use one where there already is a fuse? cheers

ok - ive now got a fuse spur with a 10A mini blade fuse in - but was wondering if i can just plug it into a blank socket on the fuse board - instead of removing an existing fuse. would that work???
