Just wondering if anyone has fitted a battery pack for dash dashcams and if so where is it. I've got the Thinkware front and rear dashcams and also the Thinkware battery pack and not sure if the glove box or under the passenger seat is the best place to install it. Glovebox would need a hole cutting in it for the cabling but if it was to go under the seat I'm not sure where it could attach to and then would need to route the cables along the sill trim piece which I'm not sure how to remove. Anyone got any other ideas? I didn't go down the under seat drawer route which I asked about last year. Maybe I should
Hi mcmaddy,
I had exactly the same kit fitted in my 7.5GTi. I had it fitted by Thinkware (via RAC), they fitted the battery pack under the carpet in the front passengers footwell. All seemed to be ok, unfortunately a few months later I decided to buy my TCR. At which time I just removed both cameras, leaving the battery pack in situ & selling my GTi.
Haven't yet got around to having the cameras & a new battery pack fitted to the TCR. I did read somewhere that the battery pack can be fitted under the passenger seat, yet when I mention that to the fitter he preferred to put it under the carpet.
Hope that helps somehow. Cheers, Chas.
