TWA-SH Hardwiring Kit Cable for Thinkware Dash Cam | Parking Mode | Impact and Motion Detection | Car Voltage Drain Protection System | Alternative Power Supply from Fuse Box

This is exactly what you require to hard wire your dash cam in place. The trick will be finding the interior connections for your particular vehicle. The harness however has enough length to allow for hook up in various locations. I added a small bit of solder to the open ends then simply inserted those ends into the sockets where the existing wires were and that had the appropriate power supply. Then I tie strapped the wires to the existing harness wires for added security. Worked like a charm. They can’t move and have made a perfect connection.

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.

You need this if you want to hard wire your Dash Cam into your care for Parking. I installed my dash cam into my SUV and the fuse box is located in the trunk. Needless to say, the included wire that came with the cam was not long enough, so I purchase this and splice it my existing wiring and all works perfectly.

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.

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.
