I’m using it for almost a year on Infiniti Q50. It shows an extremely high values for EXT parameter, which I thought was supposed to show outdoor temperature. It shows 900F in this video so it’s not only my case. They specified the 900-2400F range on their official website, so it could be only exhaust temperature then. I googled and found out- it is an exhaust temperature. This maybe useful for some people

@AlexAutoFunКүн бұрын
Hi J! Ah rememnber, there are no ACC fuses. ACC is a function (switched power) the same techniques shown on this video to find ACC, BATT and GND can be applied to any vehicle. However I strongly recommend professional installation due to the dangers mentioned on this video if erroneously tapping a critical system of the vehicle and the dangers involved with air bags as explained in my follow up video showing the rest of the install kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q8CgbJh_x7TQnYE.html Cheers!

What would you suggest for an old classic car with no usb, no cig lighter & only 5 bus fuse bays all used. Run new power direct from battery with a fuse but not have a acc or hijack the power & acc off of the cd player being I don't use it or run power direct from battery but then use the acc wire from the cd player or amp ? Thanks
@AlexAutoFun9 сағат бұрын
Hi F! Well technically fuse taps can be used on older vehicles (as long as the circuit tapped can support the additional load and can provide ACC and another can provide BATT, but I recommend you consult with your installer, some do prefer to run dedicated lines).

Thank you for your video! I was wondering how you know what fuse to use in the fuse tap. I want to hardwire a dash cam but I'm worried I'll pick the wrong number fuse. If the plug in cable that came with it is 2amps, must i use a 2amp fuse or is 5amps okay? It's a thinkware f200pro for reference. Thank you!
@AlexAutoFunКүн бұрын
You're welcome H! Ah the Amp rating of the fuse for the hardwire kit is determined by the hardwire kit being used (some kits have higher Amp requirements and some have lower amp draw).

Great info and simple to understand. I have wired aftermarket radios, media players etc. for the last 50 years and I always use the cigarette lighter for the acc. power. I might have used the door locks on this install since it's a 20A fuse whereas the mirror fuse was only 2A.

Hi Alex, I have a ToGuard digital rear view mirror, it comes with a front camera and I also wire it to my Sony rearview camera at the ruck above the plate. I found out that the rearview camera does not work when the temperature is too high. I am not sure which part went wrong. 1. Sometimes when I move the wire, the rearview image is back on display 2. The front camera at the mirror works perfectly fine but the rearview camera is not bought with the mirror, so idk if there is a compatibility issue (everything works fine in cooler weather). Would you mind sharing some thoughts on this issue with your professional perspective? Thank you.
