USB Car Charger Splitter Adapter, 2 Socket Cigarette Lighter Multi Power Outlet 12V/24V 80W DC with LED Voltmeter Switch Dual USB Port for Mobile Phone Tablet GPS Dash Cam Samsung Tomtom : Amazon.co.uk: Electronics & Photo
On my N-tec, there are two usb ports on the rear of the centre console. One is media and one is power only. My dashcam can either use a cig socket or with a standard usb-mini usb cable can plug into a usb socket. Does yours not have a detachable cable?
I hardwired my dashcam into the heater fan fuse. I think another option for a switched fuse would probably be heated seats or wipers. The wires then run under door seals and roof lining.
So mine is plugged into the fuse for blower motor 1. You might need to get some micro fuses as the adapter on mine used different sized fuses to Nissan. Be sure its the right rating. The second photo shows the the earth for the adapter. The cable fits nicely behind the door rubber and tucks in along the headlining. Obviously this is only a forward facing camera and you're fitting a rear facing camera also but I assume once you've sorted cable routing the wiring in should be the same.
Thanks Jonno, appreciated. I'll go with the forward camera on the 12v, and the back camera on a USB cable from the centre console in the short term, but I'll find a couple of wiring kits, and do it properly based on your photos. Thanks again. Cheers, Keith.
@Keith Brown if its the same as my 40 its a doodle, just be careful if you remove any trim when running cables with airbags etc.Cant remember what fuse i used possibly the radio fuse.Few videos on youtube if you need them.
Very happy with it. Not actually gone any further than my cul-de-sac, as I hadn't sorted insurance for it until a couple of hours ago.
Got my front dashcam in tidily using the 12v.
The back one is in, using a 3m USB mini b cable from one of the rear USB points, but it looks messy, so I'll definitely be getting a fuse kit for it.
Cheers,
Keith.
