After discovering no video help on youtube to aid me with hardwiring a nextbase 321gw into a 2016 VW transporter, I thought id have a go at my 1st video in the hope that it will help others avoid the same mistakes I have made!.
For those interested in some of the footage from the camera after the install, a 3 minute clip can be found here - • Video

Thank you so much for this info. I couldn't believe my luck when I typed in the search request to find you had exactly the same set up as I have. I've had the T6 Highline for only 3 days but can now crack on with this particular job. Best regards. ☺

That’s really helpful. I already have all the nextbase kit with a rear camera that I had previously installed on an estate car that I have recently sold. Planning to put it in our T5 camper and thanks to you should be quiet straightforward. Cheers

Hi. Very honest video. I know us men don’t like admitting to mistakes good on you. I decided to take up VW offer to have a Kenwood DRV-410 dash cam hard wired free fitting. Booked California Ocean in 1 pm all ready to pick up 3pm. Total £200-00 lnc vat. PS Great video 👍

Great vid you r right earth wires a pig. If you disconnect your main battery for 5 min then re connect. your dash error light will disappear although it may still be logged by cpu as an error. Inform garage on next service so they ar not looking for a fault that doesn’t exist. Part of service is check and clear faults. No extra charges 😁😁

Great video, wish I’d seen it yesterday when I started my installation, 🙄. I followed a similar route but managed to run the cable without taking off those trims. Only trouble is, my kit came with a rear camera and now have to run another, and I doubt I can get it in on the same side. I have question if I may. Is your hazard indicator button ( red triangle) illuminated when you get in your motor? Mind does and goes out when I leave. I only noticed it after I done the cable install. Thanks again, I was wondering what was behind that black panel 😂.

Hi. Yep, hazard light swith being illuminated without the ignition on is normal. It should light up when you unlock the doors and then go out when you lock the doors.

Hi, thanks for the video. Is your piggy back fuse holder the Mini type and also, is it rated for the fuse size you have piggy backed from. The fuse holders that I have found are only rated at 10 amps.

Great video - just about to fit a dashcam to my T6 Transporter van which looks to have the same interior parts. One question though - is it possible that pulling the middle blue fuse to fit the piggyback carrier caused the air bag warning to come on or was it deffo because you unplugged it from the side panel switch ? Also, did you find out what that fuse feeds ? cheers
@truckingvantastic
@truckingvantastic 6 жыл бұрын
No idea what the fuse I'm piggy backing from does so can't help you there. I did check with the VW guy though about the airbag thing and he confirmed that it was because I had the ignition on without the airbag plugged in! I have had no problems with anything since. Hope that helps.

Ok, got my dashcam, plastic trim tools, hardwire kit and piggyback fuse holder so hopefully get it installed this weekend - the dash end panel/ airbag switch panel looks easy enough to remove but what about the A pillar trim - any tips on removing it ? Best place to start prising ? I hate anything plastic that clips into place as I always seem to end up breaking the tags off ! cheers
@truckingvantastic
@truckingvantastic 6 жыл бұрын
Hello mate, yeah the airbag switch cover comes away really easy, just some gentle prizing with the trim tool is all that was needed. The A pillar cover was a little more tougher though, this needed a bit more force but I took it slowly from the top and it came away with a bit of a pull. Just remember to remove the handle from it.
@tr7daniel
@tr7daniel 6 жыл бұрын
Ok, fitted and working great. I didn't need to remove the A pillar trim - just levered the edge away along the door aperture rubber seal and there was enough room to tuck the cable in - happy days ! Thanks again for posting your vid - undoubtedly saved me a lot of head scratching
