I found another hazard mentioned by someone perhaps in another forum... can't recall where I saw it. The wrapping of the fuse leg with wire thickened the leg such that the contacts were spread apart. When removing the added device, you now have a loose fitting fuse and in his case a flaky...

Right... that's what I was saying in my original post... picking the line (supply) side by mistake. You have a 50-50 chance of picking the wrong side when not testing to find the load side which is what you want. The instructions say "around one of the blades" as if it didn't matter which one!

I have no opinion.... I'm not qualified to talk about the merits of chassis grounds. I see ground bolts here and there on my 2015 CRV like this:

I agree. I was thinking as doing this wiring that the manufacturer could have wire conduits front to rear and pop off trim over junction boxes.... This rather than have us take interior panels off to route wires.

I just installed a Power Magic Plus in my 2015 CRV and thought I'd mention a couple of issues I ran into along the way that made the install take much longer. I was looking for an always on and switched-on power source for the yellow and red wires. First two stupid user errors: (1) I had a...

All the trim was easily removable with the hatch having the strongest fasteners. Two pieces of trim cannot be straight pulled off because they have special anchors. Tricky stuff follows..... One is the windshield pillar trim having an airbag behind it. The top anchor is tethered so it...

Here is the continuation of the big wire loom from the previous picture. It just follows the fender well down to the door sill. From there it's a straight run up to the driver side kick panel under the dash. It's at this point that I realized I was a little short of wire. I should have...

Not one to do anything the easy way, I decided to pull the interior panels off rather than just stuff wires into the trim. I put the rear camera cable inside split wire loom, tie wrapping it to other loomed wiring in the car. I thought I'd mention a couple of tricky parts and a cable length...

My PMP arrived today and I was stunned to read the instructions where it tells the user to wrap wire around a fuse leg. This is a gross hack you never want to do: To make matters worse, it says "around one of the blades ...". If you picked the load side of a big amp fuse you'd be...

Yes, understood. I meant the 750's power management when I said ""it's working for you" That's what I was thinking of using... Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. Reading further in that 750 manual, I see on page 30 there is the documentation for the power configuration screen and to make matters more confusing it says: It is necessary to use Power Magic (the Battery Discharge Prevention Device) to configure the power settings...

The DR750LW-2ch manual I found elsewhere on this site says on page 16: "It is necessary to use Power Magic (the Battery Discharge Prevention Device) to record video while the car is parked."

Hello all. This is my first post. I just bought a DR750LW-2ch (has not arrived yet) and thought I made a mistake buying a Power Magic Pro for it after reading in a few places that this camera has built-in power drain protection. But the manual I found elsewhere on this site says on page 16...
