Items to check before mounting a dash cam

When mounting the dash cam holder, do not use instant glue or silicone. If you use tinted glass made of metal, it can make the video darker or degrade the GPS sensitivity. Consequently, the customer needs to be informed properly.

Do not cut or extend the rear cable when using it.

When connecting the ACC, do not use a continuous cigar power jack. (EX power outlet 2)

- You cannot enter the parking mode. This can cause a problem in battery discharging.

1. Before installing your dash cam, check the existing locations of devices/terminals and their wires.

- Check the locations of each terminal's power supply, connection cables and RF cables and how they are connected. Check wires.

-Check the locations of various antennas for an RF device and the direction of wires. (Shark antenna, GPS/DMB external antenna)

- Check the locations of the door lock remote controller's receiving units, and the privately made remote controller's antenna and the TPMS(Tire Pressure Monitoring System) in advance.

2. In the following cases, do not install or finish in advance. Instead, check for interference while gradually making temporary wirings.

- If you don't know the locations of wires for internal devices, or antennas, then make sure the rear cable is hanging long

or while making pre wirings, operate the dash cam to check

for interference. If everything is ok, perform a final checkup and finish wirings.

3. In advance, check the effects of interference in each situation. After that, move the devices far away from the source of interferences.

- If you need to install a dash cam when your car has a standard navigation or other type of navigation installed, check the effects of interference in advance and separate wires away from the source of interference or make wirings on the floor and maintain a good

distance to the antenna or the device.

- If devices use continuous power supplies, you cannot combine wirings because this can cause interference and noise. Make sure to separate wires in this case and use a ferrite core or other filters to separate or attenuate the level of noise in advance.

- The RF cable should be separated and not overlapped by each power cable or rear cable. The remaining cables should not be tied up at the back end of the car. Instead, it should be tied up in the middle.

- In case of narrow space inside the fuse box, or excessive interference, cut off the extra length of the continuous power cable at the side of the car.

Overview of the sequence for mounting a front camera

01. Locate the fuse box and remove the cover.

02. After checking the fuse configuration diagram, make wirings. (B+, ACC, GND)

03. After connecting the hardwiring cable and the terminal, perform a basic operation test. (Test items:

power supplies)

04. Remove the weather strip from the front passenger seat.

05. Remove the A pillar.

06. Temporarily wire the hardwiring cable. (Proceed with pre wirings at the fuse box)

07. Nicely arrange the hardwiring cable. (Tie it with the existing cables.)

08. Recover A pillar and the weather strip.

09. Neatly insert the remaining cable into the ceiling of the front glass.

10. Attach a holder.

11. Perform a basic function test on the dash cam. (Test items: power supplies, parking recording, continuous recording and event recording and so on.)

12. Wait one day(24 hours) until the 3M tape in the holder is firmly attached. Then ship out without a

terminal installed in it.

Order of mounting a front camera

Check the location of the fuse box and remove the cover. (Use the hera or remover.)

①

Using a wiring tester, check for ACC /B+/GND and connect wires. (refer to page 12 to

14)

While the continuous power cable is connected to the fuse, turn on the terminal and ensure it is powered up properly. (Ensure the booting is finished successfully.)

With your hand, pull down the weather strip on the driver

seat and remove it

properly.

Insert the remaining cable between the front glass and the indoor material(ceiling) and nicely arrange the cable.

Select a location to attach the holder. Install the lens of the dash cam to the center behind the rearview mirror. Use a clean cloth to wipe it. Using both hands, apply force to a holder so that the 3M double sided tape is firmly attached. (Pay special attention so that there will be no bubbles formed in the 3M double sided tape.)

Locating the fuse box

1. Checking the location of the fuse box

1) Each model of car has a different fuse box location. So, check where it is located within your car.

2) Some of luxurious or imported cars have a different left/right side to a fuse box, so it can be more reliable to connect it to the right side(front passenger seat).

2. Checking the location of the hardwiring cable(B+, ACC) fuse

1) Before connecting the ACC / B+(continuous), using a wiring tester, check the ACC, B+ and then check the fuse to be finally connected.

- ACC : If the car key is in ACC or On, then the current will flow. If it is Off, then no current will flow.

- B+ : Regardless of whether the car key is ON/OFF, the current will always flow.

- GND : Connect(ground) it to the metallic parts connected to the frame near the fuse box.

Location of the fuse tester

Fuse test Cautions

When using a multi meter, test it by inserting it into the fuse. Be careful as this can widen the gap between pins inside the fuse box.

How to connect the fuse box

1. Peel off the hardwiring cable shell about 2cm and twist the core wire in a one direction only.

2. Wrap the core wire around the left pin.

- After inserting the fuse into the fuse box, ensure that the core wire is not exposed to the outside.

4. Using a long nose, insert it firmly into the fuse box until reaching the end.

- After inserting the fuse into the fuse box, make sure that the

core wire is not exposed to the outside.

Basic operation test for the continuous power supply

1. Power on and continuous recording test

- After connecting the continuous power supply to the fuse box, ensure the power is on properly.

(While the terminal is connected, turn on the engine to ensure the dash cam is powered up properly.)

※ If the power is not on properly, then check that the GND, B+ wirings are connected properly.

2. Parking recording test

- After a continuous recording test, turn off the engine, and try to enter the parking recording mode.

※ If you cannot enter the parking recording mode, and the dash cam is turned off, then check the ACC wirings.

3. Wiring tester fuse test operation
