Hi All,
Not logged in for a while, very hectic (changing jobs, expecting our first child etc. etc.)
Anyway, my wife has just been put onto the insurance and is currently learning to drive (wants to get extra practise in my car before taking her test in a few weeks). As such I am looking to purchase a dashcam for this car.
I think i've decided on the A119 (unless someone can suggest a better alternative) as I like the wedge shape (best for me as it's more hidden).
In the past I have the wire plugged into the cigerette lighter in the rear of the car. However, with a child on the way I want to install it properly and get it hardwired into the fuse box (so that I still have us of my cigerete lighter at the front of the car and the one in the rear remains unused).
So I have some really silly beginner questions:
- What do I need to purchase along with the dashcam in order to wire it to the fuse box;
- I think I will have no issues with the actually wire placement around the car just the actual wiring into the fuse box and which fuse to use, is this fairly straight forward or should I pay someone to do it for me?
I could buy one from Halfords and have it fit there but their prices are mad and the choices available arn't great.
I know how to access my cars fuse box and remove fuses etc. it's the actual electronics I am not sure about.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
