Dashcam Hardwire Help

SuperKid · Sep 17, 2019

Trying to hardwire a dashcam the Blackvue with the Magic Power Pro.

I am using empty fuse slots F38 for constant power and F48 for ACC power. I put the fuses in the top slot only of the fuse tapper.

I get no green light on the magic power pro.

Anyone can help? Cheers

I just tested F38 and F48 with a multimeter and F38 is live constant, F48 is switched live. So those fuse slots are fine.

Was thinking this could be it. Not sure where else to earth it to without removing that trim.

Just give it a good tug from the rear and it comes out pretty easy!

I couldn’t get a good earth on that screw with a U shaped lug.

I had a go at removing the trim to installer lower down but I couldn’t get it to give and it just felt wrong.

Swapped the U for an O, removed the screw and reinstalled with the O and earth was made. No issues since.

I've got it working by doing more testing with a multimeter. Top bolt is actually grounded for me. I used F13 for power and F38 for ACC. All works now. Just need to wire up the rear dashcam and route the cabling then put all the trim back together.
