I thought it was time I put my mobius dash cam in the GLC after removing it from the S205.
To help others I tried to remember to take pictures along the way.
Prise off the chrome piece in front of the centre console and remove above 2 screws.
With a good tug pull up the entire centre console. Lift up at the arm rest and as you pull back lower down to avoid screen. No need to unplug all the wires.
Locate small hole in rear of ashtray/storage and feed cable through.
Feed wire down the side of the centre console and into the passenger footwell.
Run cable around foot well trim, nice and easy plenty of trim to hide behind. I feed the cable round and then up through the fuse location.
The up behind the rubber trim along the door and up the a pillar. No need to remove be gentle and ease the cable behind.
Tuck cable behind the headlining towards the mirror housing.
Using a slim flat tool, push the locating tabs back to release the small plastic mirror stem trim.
The using fingers gently pull the plastic surround against the windscreen. Even pressure all the way around and it comes away nice and easy. Here I where the ILS camera etc are placed.
Now you will need to cut the slot out for the mobius lens. Note you cannot use a C lens or wide angle as this hits the windscreen. I used a standard A lens.
Once done dismantle the mobius to fit the lens extension cable. £9.99
I also fitted a super capacitor in place of the battery. £7.99
Using the standard mount I used a small m6 or m8 I think bolt and a nut as a spacer and secured the camera body to the plastic surround. Note the location, nearer the middle will foul on the mirror and too far left the lens cable won't reach.
I purchased a slim USB connector again not to impead the mirror. I used some heat shrink to protect the cables. £2.99
Feed cable through and make your connections. Test camera power prior to putting everything back!!
Finished item
You will note I have plugged the camera into a 12v/5v adapter in the aux power. I have done this to allow me to unplug it when nessary.
