Hard wiring dashcam
« on: 17 May 2021, 20:11 »
Have hard wired my dash cam into a golf GTI mk7.5, but has any one hard wired one into the MK8 GTI?
Thanks

Yep front and rear,took 15 minutes for the front,bit longer for the rear due to routing the wires.

If you can wait till Friday I will check what fuse I wired too.

Lots of room for the wires under the edge of the headliner(rear one),time consuming part was feeding the wire through the rubber wiring sleeve to the hatchback.

Fuse no 52 is the fuse to piggyback. Earth point just under ens panel of dash, small hole on frame just use nut and bolt.
