Hi looking to fit a dashcam (thinkware F800 pro 2ch) to a W213 E220 saloon and struggling to find an ingnition switched live. Checking the fuse box in the passenger footwell, all I find are permanent lives.
Looking at the fuse allocation map from the fuse box in the boot suggests there is...
I work as a delivery driver so rack up a fair bit of miles, and for the past couple years I made compilations of the interesting stuff my dashcam picked up on the road. I'm now getting back into the habit of making vids regularly and figured I'd share my latest one. It's also got some glamour...
AA calls for crackdown on sharing dashcam video - BBC News
"New rules may be needed to control the use of video taken by dashboard cameras, the AA has warned.
Motorists who persistently share dashcam video could be accused of voyeurism, according to the motoring organisation.

I have just bought a Thinkware F750 2CH dashcam (Hard-wire version) the only wiring diagram they have supplied is a basic 'stick it to your windscreen and plug it into the cigarette socket' (And I don't have the cigerette plug).
The loom has one obvious earth, one yellow and one red wire each...

I've just installed a dashcam and have found that it wipes out half my DAB channels. It is a DDPAI mini 2 and has wifi so I'm guessing that is what causes the problem.
Anyone else had this and know a remedy?
I've recently bought a 2014 C Class Coupe and would like to hardwire the phone mount and perhaps a dashcam. The phone mount is the excellent Brodit centre mount but the lead trails down to the 12v socket at the moment.
I want the phone mounted there because I use the sat nav from...
Hi all, I wonder if anyone can help - I'm feeling a bit frustrated to say the least.
My car is a 2002 C180 estate and I am trying to hardwire a dashcam. I have the correct kit I think, including an add-on fuse. I'm trying to use one of the fuses in the fuse box under the steering wheel inside...
Hi All
I'm looking into purchasing a dashcam for my W212 (previous car was written off due to a accident and footage would have helped), has anyone installed themselves or had someone install?
I was thinking of utilising the 12v cig socket in the glove compartment but i'm not sure if i'll be...

Deliberated over which Dashcam to get for a while and eventually decided the Blackvue looks best, so picked one up last week.
I'm going to install it this weekend, and the power magic pro just piggy back's on to a couple of fuses in the box.
I've found an installation guide online for a new C...
Anyone know anyone who has had their dashcam stolen?
I've heard of sat navs being stolen but not dashcams.
Yet dashcams are mounted on a sucker mount in the same way and are approx the same value.
However it's not the value of my cam I'm too worried about its the glass damage and hassle.
Let's say you enjoy the "occasional" spirited drive and have a dashcam fitted.
Let's also say you leave it running because that's what you bought it for.
Good - you're filming your driving which will show how events unfolded in front of you :thumb:.
Bad - you're filming your driving which...
If I wanted to put three dash cams in the car, one on the back and one on each of the passenger side windows, what the best way to do it without hard-wiring everything.
Like multiple usb outputs from the ciggy lighter or ones with long internal batter life?
Cheers
Before Christmas 2014, I was involved in quite a serious car crash after I collided with a vehicle pulling out from a side road. Although I had a dashcam installed in the C class, I was driving my mother's SportKA. Thankfully, there were enough witnesses to uphold my version of events.
Still...
It's a pile of sh1t :devil:.
Firstly there was a buzz that could be heard on the sountrack - I was told (by the manufacturer) to put a blob of superglue on the card slot - this worked.
Secondly there was another buzz that could be heard on the soundtrack - I was told (by the manufacturer) to...
Has anyone fitted a dashcam to their CLS? This isn't about what dashcam, I have hard wired/used them before. But where do you connect to a switched live?
Any tips appreciated before I start ripping the car apart
I've bought a dashcam with a hardwire kit.
On an E Class 212, where can I pick up power for either switched (ignition on activated) or permanent live?
There's a motion detector (with battery protection) which would enable a permanent live to be used.
What about the interior light...
