Thanks for the helpful posts, everyone! Just finished installing my Viofo A139 Pro 2 channel I got from Blackboxmycar. I used the fuses as mentioned on page 2 using the Viofo HK3-C Hardwire kit. Works perfectly including the parking mode! I used the T20 bolt that's holding up the glovebox instead of the airbag which is a few inches to the left of that bolt. Still works and don't need to touch the airbag at all.

It's a soft material, you just have to kind of massage it out straight. I had the same issue but with some effort I got it back to where it has zero gap.

Use fuse 74 & 38 on the G20’s fuse box
Quote:
I tapped into fuse No:74 which protects the USB socket in the car as my ACC accessory connection (10amp mini fuse) then after lots of false hope connections I stumbled across fuse slot No:38 (5amp mini fuse) which was empty on my car but it had power going to it , this I used for my BAT Battery connection which has constant power therefore allowing me to access the ‘Parking Mode ‘ feature on my camera. I had to purchase the VIOFO HK-3-c hardwire kit as well as mini fuse taps/fuses from Amazon as VIOFO as well as some other companies DO NOT provide the extra parts that in my opinion ought to come in the box. That way newbies like me can have a much smoother easier experience in installing a plug & play gadget. The hardwire kit for me was essential as it comes with a car battery protector so the cam doesn’t drain my rather expensive car battery. Been a week now & everything is working fine for me. Hope this post helps many others , Happy driving , peace! ☮️ |

Is it wise to disconnect the battery when fitting both a front and rear dashcam on the G20? I'm due to be installing a Nextbase 522 bundle in the next few days using power from the ODB port.
I did want to purchase the BMW Advanced Eye 3 pro kit but the local dealer would not supply this saying it had to be fitted by themselves. Not sure if its worth the extra £100 for this either as I got the Nextbase bundle (with memory card) and ODB hard wire kit for £225. |

I hardwired my Viofo A129 Pro Duo directly to the car battery and rear fuse box. This requires soldering/crimping to extend the hardwire kit.
I used this wire from Amazon: 20AWG UL2464 Power Cable LED Red & Black & Yellow 3 Conductors tinned Copper (2464-20AWG-3C- 25ft) Red to battery + terminal Black to battery - terminal Yellow to fuse tap to Rear fuse box F214 Thanks to previous posters who shared fuse diagrams. I was following the CarEye instructions which didn’t work for the Viofo A129, but all good now that F214 worked. Good luck! |

Plenty of great helpful info here. Am going to use Fuse 59 as ACC for my dash cam but have a question regarding the fuse tap. Which side of the fuse (in the box) is the power side and which is the device side? Want to make sure I am orienting the fuse tap the correct way as it looks like in some of the photos people have them going both ways - which in some cases is incorrect. Thanks!
