Installed a Pruveeo Q5 Dashcam today. Hard wired it too so no ugly wires. Also it needed to be hard wired in order to have the auto start/stop function (since our cigarette lighter outlets are always on).

Needed to pull off a couple panels but no big deal. Wired to the SEO/ALC fuse which if my research is correct, is unused unless you have roof lights. This location is on with ignition on only.

Most important part was getting the wire behind the curtain airbag. You don't want that thing malfunctioning when you need it!

Finished result is barely noticable. The Pruveeo Q5 is the one with the 1080p Sony sensor. There are other Pruveeo models out there for less but video quality is pretty good on this one. Still pretty inexpensive though if you ask me. $50 bucks on Amazon.

 

Thanks for reading!

Jon

I installed this thingy on the top of my 2017 6.2L. Not really sure what it does, but my truck goes really fast now.

Got my new rims installed! They are the Method NV 20x9 and the tires are off my factory rims which are the BFG KO2 in 275/60/20.

Do you have a link on how to do this?

I found it on the $50 or less mods thread, but basically you can use a wire or two diodes an insert into the connectors below the steering wheel (driver foot area). One side 26 brown and other 26 pink. Here is a pic so you have a better idea.e772ccbb98a69e33c48eac8953a672d8.jpg

For the diodes do you run one of them one way and the other one the opposite way?

Thats correct. This way, the Cargo light comes on when in reverse, and the reverse light comes on when you hit the Cargo light button. Since diodes are one way, a wire jump will accomplish the same thing.

Completed my swap.

With Zmnypit's help I didn't have to cut anything. He made up a harness from what we had and it worked perfect. Not sure why Gen 5 didn't just go that route from the start.

In progess:

Very true. The reason I used the diodes is cuz I had already ordered them and the wire I had was a bit too thick so the diodes were much easier to insert.

Sold it on eBay about 2 months ago now and paid off some student loans. Then I sold my 2013 Passat TDI (commuter car) back to VW. So last Monday I purchased a new 2017 Passat R Line as my daily driver. Kind of funny because a little after I sold my truck I also bought a 900lbs liberty safe. Guess what I needed to movie it...a truck lol. I'm eye balling one of these 2017 ZR2's but I only want one if it has the 8 speed with the diesel.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By newdude · Posted

      No ETA is available for that engine at the moment in the GM system.   I would start at the dealer.  Try and talk to the parts manager or service manager and see if they can start a CX Connect case and get an ETA from GM on when engines may be available.  If they just check Parts Workbench and say "no eta", they aren't trying hard enough.  They need to do a CX Connect and chat with DPAC to find the ETA.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I would have to read back to get a better picture in my mind of some of the other comments and what they were using for a driving scenario they based the fuel mileage off of. That is why the fuel mileage conversation is extremely difficult to make fair comparisons from. If I was to be living in town and only driving around town, light to light and some longer stretches that doesn't have a light every block, and the usual stop at a grocery store and the bank and so on and so forth, my fuel mileage even during the summer time would be so bad with my truck I don't even want to know how bad it would be !. Then add in winter time and idling to warm it up to clear the windows and driving through snowy streets etc, large heavy trucks with gas engines have NEVER been worth crap for fuel mileage and why some little pot licker of a car with wheelbarrow tires and a 1300 cc four cylinder non turbo engine was the ticket to using a mere fraction of the fuel over a full size pickup.    By the way my truck has the 34" tires as its a HC but not the BFG KO3 tires ( that was an option for my truck but the sales guy couldn't figure out what the tires actually were so that never got on the order until it was too late to change the truck order ). So what fuel mileage your getting actually sounds good for "town driving" and with my truck when I go to town the fuel mileage keeps increasing as I get closer to town because it takes quite a while to get the driveline oils warmed up ( and why it always shows better fuel mileage on the return trip from town because its already warmed up ) but once I am in town that fuel mileage average just keeps dropping the more I mess around town and then has to recover back to something reasonable again by the time I get home for an over all average.    I'd be curious what your sticker says for the factory weight of your truck, mine is close around that 7700 lb due to the options it has. But anyway the long and short is, vehicle weight, higher rolling resistance heavy tires and a hefty driveline and a relatively large gas engine make for crap fuel mileage in stop and go scenarios, all one can do is drive it easy off the line at each stop and as my dad had said over the years, drive like a raw egg is under your foot and that's the best one can do. Years back with a carbed engine and if the carb was getting a bit out of tune etc as would the ignition system, the fuel mileage on pickups with larger engines was just awful compared to what your getting. We pay the fuel price penalty for driving HD trucks over some little vehicle, that is the reality.

      Slate Electric Truck

      By KARNUT · Posted

      We had two Toyota’s with that engine in the mid 80s. We had 50 gallon fuel tanks, a toolbox full of tools, an air compressor and assorted parts for our equipment. We beat those up and down pipeline ROWs until we started buying diesel trucks. Then they became parts runners and first vehicles for our teenagers first cars. Our shop Forman wrecked them both two years apart when we hired him out of high school as an apprentice. Good thing he’s an excellent mechanic. It took awhile before he could be called a good driver.
