In this video we show you how I fitted the dashcam into my A3 and what routes I took to hide the cables. This is a hardwire install which means in is connected to the fuse box and not directly to the 12v power socket.
This was a cheaper alternative than the approximate £700 Audi wanted for a dash cam. The main advantage other than the price saving is that you can remove it when the time comes to sell the car and use it on the next one (as we have done)

i am not an expert at all, but thanks to this tutorial i managed to install the dashcam on my a3 8y, but with the 12 volt adapter. I would have a problem. I bought the hardware kit too, but the fuse box is located under the steering wheel, not on the passenger side, I wanted to ask you where I could place that piece and all the wiring, thanks
Where did you buy this dashcam. I searched a US company website came up. Can’t find it on Amazon too
Perfect video. Exactly what I needed. Thank you!!
Nice video, thanks.
I just wanted to add that by putting a piece of black vinyl between the 3m sticky pad and the glass will make it much easier (and cleaner) to remove the camera mount and prevent leaving any residue on the glass, should you ever need to.
Thanks for the nice video, really helpful! From what I understand, the camera will be off when the ignition is off even though you plugged it in the 12V fuse? I was hoping to find a solution to keep it powered to record with a "parking option" record whenever your car is hit (when being parked). Any clue on how to get it?
Hey Auzam quistion when u had your a3 did u have the Google satellite view?here in the netherlands when i asked audi dealer they said they stop the collaboration with Google but online i see them in other audis
How does your A3 clear in the cold mornings? Mine is soooo bad. Takes ages and the side windows never clear.
Great content as always
I know it’s not strictly relevant to this video, but do you think the driver assistance pack is worth the money? I just ordered an edition 1 but can’t decide if I want to add it in.
Of all the crap gimmicks and ‘safety’ features that are supplied with the A3 that i never use or have to switch off, why cant audi provision for installation of a dash cam by designing a power socket in a convenient location?
