Curious, but do you iPhone users have issues connecting to the camera while wireless Apple CarPlay is active? iPhones won't allow multiple simultaneous WiFi connections.
I can't connect to my camera through wifi while wireless CarPlay is on and there's really no easy workaround that I've found that doesn't require a lot of setting changes to re-enable CarPlay for example, after turning it off. I don't have a BV, but a Nextbase and the only way I can access the recordings on that thing is through Wifi. |

Has anyone hardwired to the rear fuse panel and can advise where the most suitable ground connection point is?
My rear looks like this but I cant tell where they ground... https://overdriveautotuning.com/blog...00-pro-install Edit:. Nevermind, found it and fully installed. Rear camera was a huge pain! Last edited by auswill; 09-04-2020 at 07:08 AM.. |

Thanks Eagle! So if F218 is the acc fuse (only on when car is on), which fuse did you use for the always-on? Thanks again!

Initially I tried hooking up the power magic pro which requires two connections. I believe I used the tailgate fuse as it is always on, but only used it once or twice to check the cams setup while waiting for the battery pack. I'm not a smoker and not using the cigarette lighter at all so I figured that's the safest to use.

I'm guessing the Thinkware U1000 power cable isn't long enough to make it all the way back to the rear fuse box so will have to be extended... |

Thread Brump. Was looking up which fuse spot for the proposed install. Is BMS going to be a issue, regardless of external battery as well with the dashcam.
I generally hook up the Ctek and top off the battery around wintertime....but that's the only time it really get's a charger on the terminals. |

I had one of these Cameras (front & rear) professionally installed one of my run around small cars, in the very hot weather here in Queensland Australia it goes into thermal meltdown when the car is parked. It gets extremely hot to touch and you have to pull the power cable out and restart the camera.
Otherwise its a good system

I noticed you put your blackvue battery down under the right rear fuse box. Have you ever experienced the battery reporting overheating? I'm just wondering if the battery would get enough airflow to maintain it's ambient operating temperature. |
