your video was the most helpful i could find and the tip with the fuse tap kit is priceless, thanks!

[Andrew-qhub]

I’m glad they made this, because it helps the battery from draining

[apAvocado]

Thank you for this excellent video. You can explain things very well! I learned something new!

Thank you and best regards from Zurich 🇨🇭

Great video. Thank you. Is it fair to say thay the standard wiring kit that plugs into the cigarette lighter juat has two wires? presumably ACC and GND. This kit just adds BAT?

I got the hardwired kit with parking mode for the mini2 for the the rear window. The cable is not long enough to reach back there. I was wondering if a USB extension cable would work.
Thanks

[lukewadel]

Well done figuring all that out, and thanks for sharing! Re. 7.10-7-15, might it be easier to make or modify a MINI-USB coupler to put the resister in there instead?

Hello from Alberta. I tried to hardwire a Garmin drive assist 51 in my 350Z with a generic kit from Amazon. Of course I got the error messages. Do you know of any kits, whether OBD or fuse tap, that will function with the 51?

I want parking mode for my garmin mini 2.Would you recommend this parking cable or the garmin obd2 plug in constant power? I just never have tapped into the fuse.

Question: Can I attach the Garmin dash cam hardwire kit to a battery pack (e.g., BlackboxMyCar Powercell 8 or Blackvue B-112)? Thank you for your attention and time.

Excellent video, very well described, new subscriber

[GTMBleach]

Thank you for explaining dash cams and wirings in a very simplified way. I do have a question about Garmin wiring. I don't seem to see a reason for adding a battery wire. Why not just tap the ACC and ground since the Garmin module has battery saving module anyway?

[fseeletronicos]

Hey, how you going? I bought a dash cam model Azdome m550. I just installed the hardware kit to record 24/7. I wonder why it is necessary to connect ACC and BAT wires if BAT wire contains power always for supply the camera. Is there any configuration that I am missing in the camera?

[billy_bob]

first actually helpful video on how to install

[LongbranchOlivetti]

I have no use for the parking mode feature, but I do want a hidden install. Do you think if I only connect ground and accessory, it will work like a normal dash cam without park mode?

[makefitdepartment]

Would it be possible to place the resistor at the other end of a generic USB cable to enable the Parking mode? Since the wires would be exposed it would be easy. Do you know the value of this resistor?

[ulflyin]

Thank you, that was an amazing video. And it was exactly what I was looking for. I have a Garmin 57 and a mini 2 for the rear. Do you know if it would be OK if I took another Garman Micro USB cable and “Y” tapped it to the micro USB coming out of the hardwired kit?
To power both dash cams.
Thanks

[alexander-malafeev]

Thanks for the video!
How long would it take for the battery to go to 11.7 volts in parking mode if car is not used?

[raitisdzerkalis]

Thanks. Very useful info.
I installed Garmin hard wire kit yesterday.
Everything seems to be working good however it is really shame that they didn't put any of fuse taps for easy installation directly on to the fuse box so I had to just wrap bare copper around fuses...
Can you please explain in details how parking guard mode works?
