Custom Dash Cam Install.

[Flyinwells]

Hey guys,

 

With all this free time we’ve got now, finally around to sharing my BlackVue 2 channel dash cam install.

 

Worked with thedashcamstore.com, and they’re phenomenal. Free shipping, great customer service.

 

Dash Cam:

 

BlackVue DR750s-2CH

 

https://www.thedashcamstore.com/blackvue-dr750s-2ch-dual-lens-dual-1080p-gps-wifi-dashcam-for-front-and-rear/

 

I used the BlackVue Power EZ cable that uses the OBD-II port. This allows parking mode.

 

Mount:

 

Blendmount for BlackVue.

The install was easy. Concealed the wires via behind headliner and panels. Power and coaxial cable for the rear camera conceal perfectly in center windshield crash detection system module. Took me 2 hours total.

 

The camera system is exceptional with 1080P HD video and audio. Perfect day and night video.

 

On to the pictures!

 

Windshield has Llumar Air Blue 80 ceramic clear film. (Amazing BTW!)

Nice Work!

I want to do the same thing but I don't know if another BlendMount will fit on my mirror - it's already occupied.

 

Hmmmm....you've got me thinking now...

It looks like you can “blend” mounts together?

Looks good. How'd you mount the rear camera?

How did you feed the wire to the back camera? 
Did you lower the headliner, or find another way?

Left rear window. The center sliding opens to the trucks right side so it was the only place closest to “center”.

It was very easy actually. The center bezel for the FWD crash detection system components easily removes. Then, I removed the screw(s) for the drivers side sun visor mount and the sun visor mount itself allowing the headliner flexibility. Also, removed both bolts of the driver side A pillar for panel flexibility as well. Then using an array of panel removal tools I concealed the power and coaxial cable. The coaxial I kept in the ceiling all the way to the left rear cabin for the rear camera and the power down the A pillar to the OBD-II port.

I don't want to use the OBD port.  Is there another way to wire a camera?

Nice setup, very similar to mine, except I don't have a rear camera.

 

What fuse did you hook it to? My camera shuts off every time the auto-start comes back on. It thinks it's getting plugged back in, it's pretty sensitive.

 

I tried the fuse with the radio, but because the radio starts up when you open the door, the camera then shuts off when I turn the truck on.

I was able to grab both constant and switched power in the passengers fuse box. I will try to find a picture

You can use the heated steering wheel fuse. Works fine on mine.

Thanks Flyinwells!  This was very useful in getting me started on my Blackvue install.  I made a new topic with a PDF of my install and some of the issues I encountered.  I also included a link back to your article as well.  I am definitely going to upgrade to the mount you are using in the near future.  Thanks again!

My BlackVue DRS900-1CH doesn’t shut off plugged into the cig lighter. Parking mode works just fine. I just haven’t spent the time tucking the wire.

 

Nice work though!
