Dash cam?

[deuteronomyGV70]

I am considering using an ODB connector cable to power my dashcam, as the vehicle is leased so I don't want to tamper with fuses. Can anyone recommend an ODB cable that they have used safely with no issue? there are lots of products online.

If you want to tie into the rear view mirror you can use this:

Dongar Technologies Dash Cam Power Adapter 10-pin Type H for Select Kia/Hyundai​

I used it with a Garmin dash cam mini 2. Very clean and quick install.

Hi, do you have to disassemble the rearview mirror or is it an easy plug and play type of install ?

Get guys I asked this question on another thread as well, do u remember the advertisement video that gv70 will have AR navigation? That would need a front camera. How can we get that working? Also I think the advance model doesn't have any front camera, am I right?

You take the cover off of the whole setup, it's easy and there are videos on how to do it

Yeah thanks posted too quick, I saw the videos seems straight forward. Does anyone with Dongar Tech adapter know if it’s compatible with dash cams with parking mode ? Like is it powered only while the car is running or does it also draw power when engine is off ?

Only when the car is running.

Just my 2 cents. I do not like going the route of popping off any pillars or anything like coz I would hate to break any of those snap on locks. For me it was just easier to tap into the rearview mirror.

does it allow parking mode to function as well?

Ignore.. i asked the question before reading the whole thread. Found the answer.

No, this type of install will not provide power for parking mode. You need power to be supplied that is always on. ACC line would be used to sense if the car is running or parked.

You do not need to worry about the fuses. You do not tape into any of the fuse lines. You plug a fuse tap into the position and the original fuse and a second fuse is installed onto the fuse tap. When you remove it, you just plug the fuse back into its slot.

What size fuse taps are needed for GV70 - standard, mini, LP mini, or Micro 2?

I was wondering too 2 days ago and got some micro 2, they fit!

Are you guys installing rear view camera inside or out? This is my first dashcam and I assumed the rear was inside same as front, but instructions say to install outside.

 

[DaleNet]

On my GV80 it is installed inside.

Just wanted to post a quick note. I had one of my Dongar wiring harnesses fail. I contacted them and they got a new one to me in three days. No fuss and the new one works great. I'm guessing it's a heat related death due to living in Phoenix, but the service was outstanding.

Nein, diese Art der Installation liefert keinen Strom für den Parkmodus. Sie benötigen eine Stromversorgung, die immer eingeschaltet ist. Die ACC-Leitung würde verwendet, um zu erkennen, ob das Auto fährt oder geparkt ist.

Vantrue USB C OBD Hardwire für N4/S2/E1/ X4S/ T3/ N2S Dashcam-Halterung mit USB-C-Anschluss, 12/24 V bis 5 V, 24 Stunden Parküberwachung, Niederspannungsschutz, konstante Stromversorgung, Kabellänge 3 m

To anyone that is using the Dongar GV70 adapter, do you experience it powering off and then on your dash cam when the auto stop/start restarts the car in traffic? Mine is doing that and I'm not sure if it's the harness or dash cam's fault.

I don't, but I did have one fail, they sent a new one right away. I have 4 now, one in all my vehicles.

Ok, thanks. Using a Viofo A229 at the moment. Haven't got to figure out how to wire the rear camera in so it's even just single channel at the moment. Maybe it is just too sensitive to the voltage drop when the car restarts. Kicks it off for a few seconds and then a few more to wait for it to boot.

When mine failed it would cycle power constantly, so you might Reach out to Dongar

Not sure how many people that put in dash cams also have a parking mode. After installing my BlackVue, I checked the recordings after a few days and saw it was permanently recording in park mode due to the flashing security light on the dashboard reflecting off the windshield. Apparently, the camera picked up this flashing light as movement.

Initially, I just placed a piece of electrical tape over it...but ended up 3-D printing a little hood scoop. Now the light can be seen from outside...but does not reflect off the window. I do need to place this in a little better now that I see the pictures, did a quick job.

Needless of the fix - may want to verify you're not wearing the battery down in parking mode.
