BMW F48 2017 Dash Cam Hardwire
Hey everyone! I decided to post some pictures of my Dashcam Hardwire since there is no pictures of the install and I want to help people who need some guidance with it. The pictures I've linked below are only of the right side of the car with the Fuse Box and the Ground wire location.
The Fuse I tapped into was 65. The image for the grounding bolt may look unclear all you have to do is pop off the black trim piece on the right side of the car on the side of the glove box and voila there it is. Here is the link for the hardwire kit https://www.amazon.com/Hardwire-Dash...ct_top?ie=UTF8 Last edited by Joeyb200; 10-17-2020 at 11:57 AM.. Reason: Edited for better photos |

For a front camera, you can tuck cabling in to the headliner then behind passenger-side A-pillar air bag and finally run it to fuse box area. There's a small "Airbag" plastic tab that can be popped out, which will reveal a screw. Once screw is removed, pull the A-pillar trim off.

Mine has front and rear wired Thinkware cameras. Worth noting that they cause a battery drain when the car is parked up, which can show up as error warnings. It's a good idea to give the car a regular run out, or use a CTEK battery conditioner once a month, if the car is left standing for a while.

I just plug mine straight into the "aux socket" that is conveniently hidden above the passenger footwell, just behind the glovebox.
No need to mess about with fuses, earths etc. |

I have the Thinkware T700 LTE and used this fuses to tap into the car:
the little fuse is the fuse 38 that was empty, but is for the horn and it's live after the car powers off (on the fuse tap I added two fuses just in case it's actually powering something) and the big fuse is 65, used for one of the lighters. The empty fuses have connectors only on one side, I don't think they connect internal components as I still don't have the horn working after the car is powering off. [IMG][/IMG] |
