Dash Cam Hardwire Kit, Micro USB Hard Wire Kit for Dashcam, Plozoe 12V-24V to 5V Car Dash Camera Charger Power Cord, Gift 4 Fuse Tap Cable and Installation Tool（11.5ft）

Overall, a good accessory to have. Keeps the USB plugs at the console free for my regular stuff. Most of the time needed to install the kit was finding a fuse that did not power off when the ignition was turned off. I wanted camera monitoring while the car was parked. Note that the fuse adapter is not marked to indicate which slot should have the larger amperage fuse. If you remove a 20 amp fuse, it needs to be inserted into the correct adapter slots or the 5 amp fuse provided with the power module will actually be in the 20 amp circuit......and a new 5 amp fuse will be needed when that seat heater is turned on! This takes a few minutes to figure out with an ohm meter or continuity light. Make sure your selected fuse is not a critical circuit like headlights, control computer, etc. Placing the wire under the interior trim and headliner edge to reach the mirror location was pretty easy in my car. Highly recommend placing the camera end of the wire at the camera location and checking the wire length along your planned wiring route to make sure the power module can be mounted out of sight. The installation prying tool that was provided with the kit was helpful, but having two helped with tight fitting trim pieces. I have a small kit of plastic trim prying tools from the local car parts place. An extra one came in handy. So far, module works fine. Will update. Update - module still working with no issues. A good option for a permanent camera installation.

Product seems high quality. Installation was straightforward. I purchased this "single lead" kit for my Garmin Dash Cam Mini 2 because I did not need or want the Parking Mode feature. I used an "Accessory" fuse. The dash cam worked fine, but I noticed it turn off after a few minutes, then back on a few minutes later, and then back on... Garmin (understandably) does not support 3rd party installation kits. They were not helpful except to point out in their literature that 3rd party cables are not compatible with Garmin products. I went ahead and bought the Garmin Parking Mode cable ($35) and installed it using Accessory fuses for both the battery (normally always powered) and Accessory leads as I do not want the device powered when the vehicle is off. So far, so good. No issues with the device cycling on and off. When you start the car, the camera comes on. When you shut the vehicle off, the camera is off. Not sure why the other cable kit didn't work with the Garmin, but I had issues. 5 stars, though, for what appears to be a good quality kit.

Thought it was bad, but my battery was below 11.6. Worked perfectly once I started the car.

Initially after installing my kit i had an issue where there was no power going to the car that i installed the kit onto, make sure you plug in both fuses or you'll have the same power issue as i did. I don't remember seeing instructions for that anywhere, so the install isnt completely idiot-proof. I liked that the kit includes a plastic tool for popping panels and fixtures off so i didnt have to buy a separate one, also the kit has multiple fuses and adapters so you likely have what you need. The only thing i can complain about is that the included fuse was not the right amps for what i needed, i had to get a kit with one that was the right size and amps for my particular install, this may be specific to my car though.

This hardwire kit was easy to install using the provided fuse adapter. Put it in a key-on location. I would have no problem putting it in an always-on fuse location because the low voltage cut-off absolutely works. After installing, my camera would intermittently shut off while I was driving, then come back on a few minutes later. This never happened when I used the cigarette lighter adapter. I thought the hardwire kit was to blame. Turns out I had a bad voltage regulator and my battery was dropping to 11v before the alternator started charging and it cut off at 12.4v. The kit was going into low voltage battery saver mode as designed, on and off as the voltage changed. I never had a dash light come on for the charging system, but this kit working as designed gave me a reason to troubleshoot.

This item only worked for two months and then my Garmin mini 2 started turning off and rebooting over and over incessantly. It took some time to figure out if it was the camera, the memory card, or this power unit. I changed SD cards. No better. I plugged this power unit into a different fuse spot, no better. I finally tried going back to a cigarette lighter plug and everything is fine. This 12v to 5v transformer must be bad and the power is too low to keep the camera turned on. Unfortunately there is no customer support phone number or website listed here for this product. I guess I got scammed. It certainly should be warrantied at least a year.

I purchased this accessory to use with my OMBAR Dash Cam Front and Rear 4K/2K/1080P+1080P 5G WiFi GPS, Dash Camera for Cars with Free 64G SD Card, Dual Dash Cam with WDR Night Vision, 24h Parking Mode,170°Wide, G-Sensor, Loop Recording, APP. I picked this Hard wire kit because amazon "suggested" it when I picked out the camera. I wanted to hard wire my camera so that it I could make use for the 24 hour parking mode. However when the tech guy was connecting he noticed that the shape of the Hard wire connector to the camera was such that the space would not permit to connect the Rear camera cable to the front camera. So the tech guy ended up connecting it, BUT I am not able to use the 24 hour parking mode feature. The tech guy worked a connection by which I do not have to connect the camera to the light socket BUT it only works for when the car is on.
