Hi everyone,
I recently bought a BlackVue 600 and PMP for wiring into my Audi A5. The running of the cable into the fusebox was easy but wiring the PMP has proved a horrible experience, so I'm hoping someone can help!
This is what I've done:
And... nothing. The LED doesn't light up on the PMP, regardless of the ON/OFF position of the switch, and the camera doesn't turn on. If I plug the camera into the cigarette lighter socket directly it works fine.
Two things that bother me as well:
Please help! It has driven me crazy this weekend :-(

This is what I've done:
- I've finally located a switched and an unswitched fuse (Thanks to Audi NOT for labelling all the fuses up as wrong). The unswitched circuit is the CD drive. The switched circuit is labelled as "gateway"
- Connected the yellow wire from the PMP to the left blade of the unswitched fuse. I did this by pushing the wire into the fuse socket, then pushing the fuse in on top. I then used a multimeter to prove I was getting 12 volts on this cable through to the white connector block for the PMP
- Connected the yellow cable to the left blade of the switched fuse. The multimeter registered around 8.5 volts for this connection (when the ignition was on) so I assume that some of the power here is being used by the "gateway" circuit
- Set the switches on the PMP to 12v and 12 hours
- Connect the PMP and the Camera together, then plug the white connector block into the PMP
And... nothing. The LED doesn't light up on the PMP, regardless of the ON/OFF position of the switch, and the camera doesn't turn on. If I plug the camera into the cigarette lighter socket directly it works fine.
Two things that bother me as well:
- Does it matter which side of the fuse I connect the camera to> I used the left side for both cables
- Should I register a voltage on both cables? The yellow cable was 12v and the red was 8v.
