VipinLJ ,
The Viofo hardwire kit I am referring to is her: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JQ1JYPJ...v_ov_lig_dp_it Below is a picture of the transformer "brick" I am referring to. I was curious if you could put that brick in the headliner and use the mirror tap method, rather than going around the windshield and under dash. Thanks

In my car, that box stays hidden inside the compartment under the glovebox. I hardwired it directly to the fuse box. I didn't use the rear view mirror tap. But yes. You should be able to put it under the headliner. When you pull on the headliner, it actually separates quite a bit, allowing you to tuck it in.

In the G20, does anyone know if each of the three (3) power sockets have 'full time power' or it 'goes off' after awhile when the ignition is turned off?
Power Socket by Cup Holders- is it always on or goes off with car? Power Socket by Back Seats- is it always on or goes off with car? Power Socket in the Trunk- is it always on or goes off with car? Thank you. |

PS - Hardwiring it isn't that difficult. If I can do it, anyone can. The worst part is the location of the fuse box in the passenger foot well. Car also has zero electrical issues (been almost two months since I hardwired it in).

I am thinking about purchasing the new BlackVue DR900X-2CH Dash Cam with CM100 LTE module which is coming out very soon. Since its not out yet I have no idea how it plays well with BMW electrical specially since I will get a Battery Pack Neo and hard wire kit is different than the 900S. The 900S was discontinued and replaced with the 900X now and is supposed to come out this week or next I believe -it is on back order. I have a place lined up to hard wire install it; hopefully there won't be any electrical issues with it and the LTE Module and NEO Battery. I wouldn't trust myself trying to install it myself lol Here is a link to the new blackvue 900X with the LTE Module if you or anyone is interested. It comes with a whole different hard wire kit than the older 900S which was discontinued. https://blackvue.com/product/dr900x-2ch/ Last edited by BMW11; 10-05-2020 at 10:00 PM.. |

Instead of hardwiring it to the rear of the car. can you just connect it to the ODB or will that drain the car battery?
ive bought the dashcam (front and rear) but i want to connect it with minimal fuss. |

Which dash cam did you buy? I use a Thinkware Q800PRO and the cable on their site, "EchoMaster OBD II Power Cable." No issues so far (3 weeks). Parking mode works for at least 12 hours, probably much longer. Can't be asked to check the recordings and figure out if it's ever hit the cutoff (I set it to 12.5V).

From the BMW Advanced Eye 2.0 installation guide, it appear that it took power from F35 from fuse box Z44 and F207 in fuse box Z2. Anyone had any idea if we are suppose to tap from this area for other brand of camera?

Brand of the camera shouldn’t matter.
