Hello 

 

I have the Garmin dashcam in the car and wanted to hardwire it, since the lighter outlet keeps blowing the fuse.

Theres other guides in here, but they are with different wires then what you get with the Garmin dashcam. 

This is what came with the Dashcam : https://buy.garmin.com/en-GB/GB/p/587564/pn/010-12530-03

I found the instructions, but as you can see, they just mention power source, switched power source and metal. 

https://www8.garmin.com/manuals/webhelp/dashcam45-55/EN-US/GUID-4893EF84-E82C-4A21-8FFD-ED26F0AC0AD6.html

Has anyone tried this or know where to put the wires in the fuse box area? 

 

Regards

 

Hi there 

I had an old nextbase dashcam with a hardwire kit. This had a piggyback fuse adapter for the switched live connection. I just used fuse 47 which was the rear wiper for me. Then connect to a earth which i used whatever bit of metal i could find behind the dashboard. Job done. 

Hardest part was removing the glovebox and putting it back in
