The FitDVR is an easier alternative to hardwiring a dash cam.
Link to the adapter below:
16 Pin amzn.to/4bQgwev (Ford)
16 Pin amzn.to/3WC81Pz (Toyota and Lexus)
12 Pin amzn.to/4bALlDN (Toyota and Lexus)
10 Pin amzn.to/3UV0hac (Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Chrysler)
10 Pin amzn.to/3K2NsUR (Hyundai and Kia)
3 Pin amzn.to/44DUKYT (Volvo and Polestar)
Pins are the number of connections on the connector on the vehicle, for example the grey connector shown on the video has 12 pins, so there are 12 wires going to the connector.

If there's a FitDVR that would work on a 2007 CR-V, I'd buy one in a heartbeat if I could use the cable for the map lights. (There's a second cable for the moonroof but it only works with the key turned to ACC).

Hi @Autofun Thanks for this amazing review again. As regards my findings on my mirror dashcam of choice, the rydeen Tombo 360x remains my no 1 option for some obvious reasons as you know. But, the low battery protection voltage remains a great concern to me (@ 10V as you told me days ago). Knowing new cars of today has many infactory power consuming accessories already, I don't know if I will be able to start the car the following day if the battery eventually got drained down to 10V. In the course of my research, I stumbled over a review of a dashcam installer whose client dashcam voltage was preset @11.4V and woke up to a dead car some days later just as he has predicted to the client, that such will happen at that voltage😔 (11.4 was assumed low, not to talk of 10) 1) What will be your advice/recommendation at this point pls? 2) Does rydeen has any hardwire kit for adjustable power protection? Or is the option available now in the updated software? 12v and above would be lovely and reliable 3) I will really appreciate if you can share with me the manual showcasing the new software interface navigation and functionalities. (the one on their site seems to be the old one). I just want to see the added functionalities Thanks so much as I anticipate your response...... Peace ✌️
@AlexAutoFun
@AlexAutoFun 17 күн бұрын
You're welcome Muda! Ah remember 10V is not the power consumption of the device, the 10V refers to at what point the low voltage cut off kicks in. You can have a kit cut off at 12V but if the power consumption of the car is high when the vehicle is off the battery will reach that level faster and park monitoring will turn off (basically the same as not having parking monitoring), same if it was 11V or 10V, how long it takes for the battery to get to a specific voltage varies depending on the car's battery, size, age, health condition, SOC and any parasitic draw from other items on the vehicle that use power when the car is off. This is specially common on newer vehicles. For example I have an older Jeep that can sits for months a time with little to no battery draw, then I have a 2017 car that will almost completely drain my battery in a few weeks if the car is not used (mind you that car does not have any aftermarket devices connected to it). Here is the battery tester I use kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oal-pcmSnbi5e4k.html if you want to test your battery for capacity and health, it can also perform a parasitic draw test if needed. I do use one of this kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eZd8lNOGp53GiKM.html on vehicles that have a high power draw when off to protect the battery. Regarding an adjustable hardwire from Rydeen, they do not have one (adjusting the cut off is a feature I'm slowly seeing disappear from the market) Cheers!

Sorry I'm a bit confused. Does this means the power adapter tap taking power from the ACC? The hub behind rearview mirror is usually for ADAS camera and stuffs, right? Isn't it only powered when the ignition is on? If so, then it cannot be used for parking mode? I use a 70mai dashcam and it requires VCC for parking mode and switch to ACC when ignition on. But aside from that, I imagine this power adapter tap really helps people installing dashcam. Decently priced too.

Hi Bob! I would check your owners manual, most cars are setup to allow disconnecting the battery without issues as this is a normal operation performed commonly on cars. The manual may also help you understand the re-learn procedure (and if there is one or not) when swapping batteries for a new one (vs using the same battery where it may not be required). You can also consult with your dealer to confirm if you will loose your stereo presets or any other settings if the battery is disconnected for service. Cheers!

Is the fitDVR better than the Dongar power adapter? Can you compare the two solutions?
@AlexAutoFun
@AlexAutoFun 6 күн бұрын
@@jorkirasalas2726 Hi Jorki! Ah I actually I can, I also reviewed the Dongar and they are very different devices. The Dongar is smaller due to it's lack of enclosure and screen. The Dongar has been around longer so it's possible they may have more vehicle coverage than FitDVR. The FitDVR is newer so it has more capability as far as powering dash cams where the Dongar is limited (both in Amperage and in Voltage). The FitDVR looks clean and has the informative screen but again this maybe just a matter of preference (some people don't care for an enclosure or screen). Here is the full review for the Dongar so you can compare the rest of it's features kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y853qJt8v7LFimg.html and stay tuned, I have another review in the works for a similar product that may interest you, very neat stuff (can't say much at this point yet) Cheers!

I wired my dashcam like this... but I didnt use any kind of aftermarket adapter. In fact my cam came with a 12v adapter to use with it. I ran 2 wires from that to the feed inside the housing of my mirror and hid the adapter inside the housing. All you see is the wire coming out. I guess what I am wondering is, what is the difference between this and the included adapter? Why would I need to spend money on this when my dashcam came with a power adapter? Wanted to mention I used to pins to push in the back of the power pins on the cars connector (no cutting or stripping) and some electrical tape to hold them in place. Yeah I know.... electrical tape, yuck....

Hi Brad! Correct as explained on the video there a few 12DVC dash cams out there which could potentially be connected without the need for a step down adapter. The different between connecting power directly to the dash cam vs using this adapter is several. This is a plug and play solution for both 5V and 12V devices. While tech savvy folks like yourself and I can tap for power directly, most people want to avoid the hassle of determining which wires to tap into and in the case of 5V dash cam to wire in a step down adapter. That being said I do think hardwire methods are going to be the way for experience installers (and include the benefit of enabling true park mode).

Hi Joan! I haven't had overheating issues with mine (but will update this comment if something changes) this is low current device.

Reduce resolution (lower resolutions produce less heat), reduce bit rate (some dash cams will let you change it) and finally enable screen saver (screen time out) which will turn off the display after a period of time but will continue recording (the screen itself generates heat). And here is another hardwire alternative kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j6ubn9Bqu5zciXk.html Cheers!

@@AlexAutoFun Extremely helpful. Thanks! When it comes to dash cam, I am looking for something inexpensive as I don't want to attract thieves who may think my dash cam is expensive enough to warrant breaking in. Ideally, I am considering one those rear view mirror type dash cams. The wiring is what puts me off in ALL dash cams so your set up should help with that.

@@joanharmonize You're welcome Joan! Ah here is a good choice for an affordable mirror dash cam kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aL6BedpeqJ7KaGw.html Yeah they definitely blend in much better than traditional dash cams.

So close to being a 5 start product, it needs parking mode option. Parking mode is not for when you park in your garage, it's for when you go to the store, the mall or anywhere else. Almost all dash cams have the parking mode option, specially the "big brands". I would also love to see a touch scrren (or a button) added to it to be able to turn the screen off. And have this product available for more brands of cars, specially high end vehicles were owners would be more inclined to buy something like this and not mess around with the fuse box. Overall this is a very cool concept but it seems like they are just starting up, can't wait to see this product evolve over the years.

HI Eloy! As explained on the video, park monitoring will depend on your vehicle, most have switched power to this area but some do have constant power potentially enabling you to monitor your car while parked. Regarding a touchscreen or button to control the screen I can definitely be done, it's just a matter of costa and if the end customer is willing to absorb it. With the current market being driven by the lowest price it may be a challenging (at current pricing I already see people in the comments asking for it be cheaper lol, just the way it goes with the market) And here is another solution for park monitoring without hardwire kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j6ubn9Bqu5zciXk.html Cheers!

this device looks very specific and not universal for various car manufacturers and even homelink. also there may be issues with multi-channel dashcams like those with front, rear and interior cameras and with parking modes and 24/7 recording modes.

Hi iblackfeathers! Correct, this is not an universal device, I placed links in the video description for the different car makes it is available for. Regarding dash cams with multiple channels as show on the video it can power dash cams with more than one channel (like the 2 channel mirror dash cam and the 3 channel dash cam I showed) as long as the power requirement is not exceeded. Regarding park monitoring explained on the video, park monitoring will depend on your vehicle, most have switched power to this area but some do have constant power potentially enabling you to monitor your car while parked.

Hi Richard! Yes some people do run their dash cam off a battery pack. However since here in my State we experience really hot temperatures which I would not want to subject the battery to, that and the potential for a run away event (fire) during charging or discharging inside the car. Here is an example of a internal dash cam battery and what the sun did to it kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fr1ondST0cXFqYk.html and a video of battery related fire I personally experienced kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jsyHmq1p09uRgnU.html (destroyed the house) Cheers!
