Dashcam
Has anyone got a dashcam installed in their D3?
If so, which one have you got and how is it wired in? |
I have a blackvue DR380g.
Wired it in to the head lining unit at the front. |
Its all installed and working fine.
I used this little port off the heads up controls. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...psb88598cd.jpg Used the proper Audi Plug and cables, then connected them to a random mobile phone charging cable I had which fitted the Camera. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...ps2nimxxld.jpg Put it all back together and it ended up like this. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...psoe4gbmkz.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...psb3wwy5hg.jpg All in and working. |
That looks brilliant! Absolutely ideal.
Was it handy enough done? So there only 2 wires needed? Do you know the part numbers of the Audi bits? Then just lopped off the charger cigarette lighter plug and connected to the 2 Audi wires? |
You can see on the pic which pins you needs.
Its 4 and 2. going right to left looking at the pic. I used this plug. 8k0973754 And this cable 000979009E I was lucky with the Blackvue camera that it takes a 12v feed. Some cameras might be a 5v feed. so you can't cut the plug off and wire it in. Make sure what voltage it needs first. |
Cheers. So the left wire in photo 2 is pin 2 and the right wire is pin 4? What are they both?
I'm after a cheaper camera as I intend to get 1 for the wifes Tiguan too, but the installation is perfect. Something else for the to do list! |
Left is pin 4, that's earth.
right is pin 2, that's live. Come say hello. http://dashcamowners.com/ some nice cheap cams around. |
Last question, does the part number for cable come as a single or a pair of wires?
|
Its a double ended cable.
So you only need the one. |
I got a camera a year ago. It was £17 and pretty rubbish and was a fake of a decent model.
Just changed it for a G1W a couple of weeks ago and thrilled to bits with it. http://dashcamtalk.com/g1w/ Whichever one you get, watch out for inferior fakes/clones. I painted the silver lens-ring and light with matt black paint but the current version is all black anyway. Here is one of my clips... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnOKQO86KN0 |
