I recently acquired a 2011 Mustang V6 manual transmission for my new daily driver. Feeling the need to furnish her properly, I bought an Uniden DFR6 radar/laser detector and the A119v3 dash cam. The stock cable for the Uniden is coiled and useless for running behind panels, so I ordered the hardwire kit for my radar detector, running it along the bottom of the windshield. But VIOFO's stock cable is quite nice, so I ran that along the upper windshield. After they met up under the passenger-side foot well, I twisted the cables together and finally, at their end, stripped them. I twisted the naked copper of the red wires together, and did the same for the black. I terminated the red wires to the Add-A-Circuit fuse, and the black wires to a nice U-shaped terminal for a grounding post.
I found a 5amp fuse that powers up only when the car is set to the ON position.
The Uniden works perfectly. But the A119 never powers on.
When I use the small cable and plug it into the cigarette lighter, it works. But my hardwire setup does not.
I have double and triple-checked the terminations, redoing them again and again. They are solid.
Is there any reason you can think of that tying the Radar and Dashcam together would cause one not to work? Surely they're getting enough power.
Thanks for your time,
