THINKWARE Hardwiring Cable 3m for Thinkware Dash Cam, Enables Parking Mode

The only practical way to have a dash cam is to have it hardwired. This kit allows you to do just that. It's not necessarily a complete kit because you'll want to grab a fuse tap cable so that you can wire the dash cam into the fuse box for power. Installation isn't too hard if you watch a few YouTube videos. I wouldn't rely on the instructions it comes with alone though. Thanks to this kit I can have parking mode enabled which records while the car engine is turned off. This is key for protecting you because a lot crazy stuff happens in the parking lot. It auto shuts down if it detects your battery voltage drops to prevent it from dying on you. So worth it. This with the rear camera makes your dash cam complete.

It's a dash cam hard wiring kit. What more is there to say? Unsurprisingly it works. I used it with fuse taps I bought separately and hardwired my cam.

Just finish hard wiring my X500 to my Subaru. Great product and quite a experience! 2 things worth mentioning: 1. Get 2 fuse taps and 2 extra ~5A fuses before installing. You may also need a wire stripper (for stripping out more cable to ensure connection and clipping cable into fuse tap) and some extra tape (double fastening). It makes things look neat and professional. 2. If you are not sure which fuse to tap, prepare a multi-meter to check which fuse has/hasn't power once car is off. For me, I use door lock as my battery wire (red) and ACC as my ACC wire (yellow). I encountered problems finding which fuse to tap for my ACC wire. I tried fog light fuse and seat heater fuse first, but using neither one allows dash cam turn into parking mode (It just stayed on after turning off the car, you definitely don't want this to happen). So I got a multi-meter to check the potential between my GND wire and each fuse (check both legs). Strangely, my fog light fuse and seat heater fuse still has power after engine is off but they cannot be turned on.

Quite a bit expensive for 2 wires, but it works great with my thinkware f200. Records parking mode, detects movement and it doesn't drain down my battery. Got the wires professionally installed at Car Toys for around $100 bucks on my 17' Mustang and I'm very happy with the installation and the way the wire functions. Once I turn my engine on, it lets me know if any incidents or movement was captured while I was away. Worth the money to have this wire installed on your dash cams. You just never know.

Works great simple to install

very happy with this the store did not have it. Got it from AMAZON in one day.

For a clean professional look buy yourself two add a fuse. I used the regular mini add a fuse as opposed to the low profile ones simply because I like extra fit and flexibility with space in an already tight honda accord fuse box. Keep in mind if you go my route to make sure you have regular mini fuses to take the place of the fuse you're taking out/adding into because the mini low profile's won't fit on your regular mini add a fuse. For the red wire I tapped into my DRL fuse and for the yellow wire I tapped into my washer fuse. Works as intended. Make sure to use the app with your respectable model and adjust the settings. I set my cut off voltage at 12v (as recommended) for parking mode, hoping for good results with this.

Cable is much longer than what any car would ever need, as I used this to wire a Ford Excursion and had about 2 feet left over. Wiring it into the fuses was easy, but which fuses to pull might be hard for someone who doesn't have an understanding of automotive wiring and circuitry.

Made the install so much easier and clean

This Thinkware cable worked perfectly for my Q80-Dash Cam. Arrived quickly too.

This cable enabled parking mode on my Thinkware X350 dash cam and I feel that I am now getting full use of my dash cam. The wires were clearly labeled and I was able to install it myself using simple tools. I had to buy two fuse taps. The cable was long enough that I had quite a bit left over even in my Ford SUV. I highly recommend this accessory for the Thinkware dash cam.

work great to hide the power connection

I buy these all the time. I install thinkware dash cams on a daily basis.
