Prewiring front and rear for dashcam would be something I'd pay for as an option.
Dashcams are getting so popular it seems like BMW would want to make some money offering this a prewire option. |

I would be interested in hearing any updates on this, especially where to tap power from in the fuse box. I know some vehicles are very sensitive to additional load changes for some circuits. All I'm looking for is 12VDC switched on and off with the ignition. I don't need power for the dashcam when the vehicle is off.
Although it's easy to check, I have not yet done so... is the cigarette lighter always on or does it switch off with the ignition? If switched, this may be an easier tap than running a feed wire from the rear of the vehicle. |

BMW is likely introducing a built-in recording system - look up 6DR option in the G12 7-Series LCI guides: "6DR - Driver recorder" - price $200, 7/19 SOP

Generic AuKey Dash Cam with Basic USB with Mirror Mount Hardwire Power
Gents,
I have three of these basic Dash Cams and I just installed one in my wife's G05 X5 today. It took some learning to figure out the hardware strategy but I am satisfied: It's a $70 no-frills unit on Amazon: AUKEY Dash Cam, Dashboard Camera Recorder with Full HD 1080P, 6-Lane 170° Wide Angle Lens, Supercapacitor, G-Sensor and Clear Nighttime Recording. I then purchased the $14 USB Kit which I did a bit of soldering to make a homemade tap: SHISHUO Dash Cam Hardwire Kit - Mini USB and Micro USB Port 3.5m Cable with LP Mini/Mini/ATO/Micro2 Fuse, 12V to 24V Input, 5V Output for Dash Cam GPS Sat-Nav with Battery Drain Protection I tapped in into the Mirror power. The power is indeed switched. It takes about 10 minutes for the power go out when you turn off the car -- but that is just fine with me. I blew the rated 5 amp mirror Fuse #F59. So I added a replacement fuse at 7.5 amps and it seems to be holding fine. Here is the result of the work. Pretty clean and simple. I am attaching the BMW G05 Fuse Schematic that I obtained from the BMW website. |

Just installed mine today. I was debating between hardwire vs. using the rear cigarette outlet and went with the cigarette outlet. Took about 20 mins and you can’t see any wires hanging so I’m satisfied. Only issue I had is getting the wire to conceal in the front headliner especially at the corner. I snugged it into the gap between the headliner and the passenger side airbag; I assume that’s how others have done it?
