A little video of the installation of my dash cam hard wire kit. Pretty much step by step to help anyone not sure how to install one.
Here is where I bought mine

Just spent the day fitting the dash cam. Your video was brilliant. Helped us loads. Our van goes in fir conversion tomorrow so we took advantage while it was bare in the back. 5 hours in total to do it but well work the effort. Thanks 😊

Well would you have believed it….. The ball n chain just got me a dash cam & I want it hardwired cos I can’t be doing with wires hanging everywhere. Just visited Halfrauds & as per norm they were about as much use as a chocolate teapot. So back home to consult KZfaq and low & behold first vlog on the list is our Col 👍. This must be the only video of yours I’ve not watched. So a massive thank you Colin very informative instruction, easy to follow and appreciate the use of plain English 👍 Cheers bud next step Amazon

Well, what I also would like to know is how to connect the cable behind the panels, starting at the top (next to the mirror) and then go sidewards to the door and then down etc, Where can I go best and how do I dismount all the panels?

Another great video !!! We have just bought our first t6 and have copied so many great ideas from you ! How do you go about finding a constant live ? I have a tracker I want to fit but was thinking a split fuse might be a bit invoice for any successful thief to find! Thanks

@Yorkshirepoptopadventures 3 жыл бұрын

Hiya Tom, I think there is a constant live from the 12v charging point (cigarette lighter) - I'm pretty sure though that a thief wouldn't know that the wire was going to a tracker. If they unplugged it does yours have a lengthy battery?

@@Yorkshirepoptopadventures No worries I'm sure I'll figure it out. Knowing how to get the plastic trim panels off is half the challenge since the clips are hidden. It's knowing where to pull and pry so you don't damage anything. That kit looks interesting. I came across those piggy back fuse things a few weeks back. They're really handy. The electronics side is the one thing I do know. I managed to route the cables neatly on my old ranger pickup but I just had it plugged into a USB charger in the 12v socket so if I forgot to unplug it and didn't use it for a week or so it'd flatten the battery I intended patching it into a 12v switched fuse but never got around to it but I want to do it right first time in my new T6.1

Hiya bud, as its going to be different for every van I didn't show how I did mine. It literally was fed to the back (wherever possible tucked in) and then out through the rear light cluster and mounted on the bottom of the rear bumper... hope this helps ;)

How on earth does the clip actually fit?? Mine goes in but not fully. (The bit where the fuse piggyback wire connects to the rest of the wire). Also struggling at the rear of the van now. Trying to wire in reversing camera and got as far as coming out by the tail light.

I seen one on Amazon that's close to the same model at £240 but apparently "we'll just get parking sensors like the skoda's got only £70" he's not even a Yorkshire man!
