Thanks for info about Garmin being the only one that works for Garmin!

Is a 3 wire better and does it have an added feature?

[enfield]

As always brilliant information and well explained...
Do you have any advice on car caramic coatings

Does it matter what hardwire wire kit you get for a dash cam? I just recently bought a rexing V1P pro + and I had a 3 wire Azdome hardwire kit laying around that uses mini USB connection. Will this work on the rexing dash cam? It seems like they are all the same to me. I prefer the Azdome hardwire kit because I can decide what voltage cut off I want instead of 11.8V

Well explained, thank you. I installed my b4k dashcam following all the instructions and it seems that it always stays on parking mode. I've set it to timelapes and it records in timelapse whether the car is parked or being driven. What could be the problem. NB: I used a multimeter and checked the wiring.

are you curious about how the dash cam detect hardwire kit to enable real parking mode? are there any teardown information of the 3 wires hardwire kit out there in the wild?

I like your video very informative, I knew pretty much all this information ready I’m trying to figure out is whether my camera requires a two or three wire cable. They don’t offer a hardwire cable from its brand Amazon pairs it with a three wire cable but the plug that came with it was a regular cigarette plug of course but I’m wondering if it had a built-in volt meter to recognize the increase or decrease in voltage when the vehicle is in run or start or running and decode that signal internally I just don’t know

Another good video really interesting I like the hard wire kit better...

[wollywotsit]

If you open the Garmin one up, there are jumpers inside, you can change the cut off voltage

Hey Alexis, I am thinking about purchasing the 4K WiFi Mirror Dash Cam, Veement 12" Front and Rear View Mirror Camera with GPS for Car, Sony Starvis Sensor, Voice Control, Waterproof Reverse Backup Camera, Enhanced Night Vision, Parking Assistance
Please advise me which hard wire kit is the correct one to get. Also, do you have a video on hard wiring the Veement 12 " mirror camera?

I have the Kingslim DL12 Pro 4K Mirror Dash Cam and rove hardwirekit. I have installed in my GF truck and it’s works perfectly fine, no issues. I also have it installed in my Honda Civic and the dashcam been having lots of issues. It will reboot itself constantly. Sometimes it goes to parking mode when I turn on the car. I’m not sure what’s causing it. I want the dashcam to be on 24/7. It works fine on the truck, but on the Honda Civic. It will go bad within a day or two after being on 24/7.

Lingdu brand dashcam which kit works, a 2 or 3 wire as I don't think they do their own.

Hello. What is the best safe hardwire for a Vantrue N5 to run power 24h safer? Thank you.

[AlWiedmannJr]

Thanks Alex, got another question for you - I have a wolfbox that's rated 12V - 3A (max). Do you think a hardwire kit that's rated at 2.5A (like rove) would work with that wolfbox? Thanks!
