Dash cam hard wire kit

[steve_k]

Evening folks.

Anyone know of any decent (not Chineseim) dash cam hard wire kit?

I'm looking for one that wire into the fuse box so the camera comes on when I turn the ignition on.

Also one that supports both front & rear cameras.

If anyone knows of any then please let me know.

In most of my cars I have used something like a CPT 12v to 5v dual headed USB converter to supply power to the dash cam or additional ports to charge phones etc etc. Fit two, one to power the Dash Cam and your mobile the second for your passengers to use.

I have the CPT fitted to my BMW for the last 4 or so years, one was fitted to the Lotus/Subaru and now Elgrand the Lotus install was a work of art as it included an override switch and additional power points.

If you are really anal you can add something like a Black Vue Magic Pro Unit that won't drain your battery if and when you are parked away from home.

Cheers for the link stefan, I'll have a look,

Got my eye on a head unit that supports a mini cam that can be mounted in the grill.

Gives me a few options.

If it supports a front camera/cam it will be powered by the HU.

I honestly couldn't tell you,

It's a mate who's selling it so I'll have to ask him,

I've got a next base one In my daily (mk5 jetta), that's the main reason I'm looking for a hardwired kit for the e30 so i can use that cam without having to buy another one
