Volvo XC40 (2019-2021): How To Install The Dash Camera And Hide The Wire.

Volvo XC40 (2019-2021): How To Install The Dash Camera And Hide The Wire.

In this video we will show how to do the installation of dashcam and hide the wire in 2018 – 2020 Volvo XC40.

Excerpt from “Dash Cams and Airbags” article:
If you are not able to remove the A-Pillar easily and can’t run the wire behind the airbag, this is actually okay as well. You can still run the wire up the A-pillar through the weatherstrip between the interior and the door. Running the wire here may result in some bulging of the weatherstrip depending on the vehicle but generally speaking it’s still safe to do so. The airbag is designed to burst through the trim of the vehicle and if they were to go off they may damage the dash cam’s cables (which are replaceable) but the airbag is still operational in our experience.

Dash cams have been in vehicles in Korea for more than 10 years and the empirical data from Korea suggests there are no issues with running dash cam wiring beneath the trim of a vehicle. A number of our customers have been in accidents where the airbags have been deployed without issue despite having a hardwired dash cam in their vehicle. We’ve also done hundreds of installs and have never had to worry about airbags going off spontaneously during the install process while the vehicle is off. If you are hardwiring to the fuse box, we do strongly recommend not to use fuses related to the airbags of the vehicle though, if the camera ends up blowing a fuse for the airbags, they will not work properly in the vehicle. As always, use common sense when you are installing the dash cam and don’t do something silly like zip-tying a cable directly on an airbag. We are not responsible for any airbag related issues caused by the installation of the dash cam in your vehicle.

Smart! Good idea

Cock Piss says:

At 2:15 you obstruct the airbag. You should not run across the A pillar.

John Mitchinson says:

Volvo does not recommend installing a dash cam on the wind screen because it can interfere with the car's radar sensor.

Idk Idkk says:

Did you just blocked the passenger air bag by running across the A pillar instead of taking off the A pillar and tuck the cable underneath the air bag?

spooner Fpv says:

Very neat, where do you buy those clips?

holysocks says:

how about a video connecting to fuse box or rear view mirror power? also how to hide wires to a rear cam?

ali youtube says:

By the way do you have any idea about this kind of dash cams? https://youtu.be/1t5lwgEHsYY
They look so much compact and as an original part of the car. https://www.carcam.nl

ali youtube says:

Great job. The only problem is the size of the charger on the cigarette socket, it is so big 🙁

Y A says:

Excellent video. Many thanks. Can see you have lots of nice vids on other brands/models. Looking forward to following you in case more xc40 vids pop-up. Looking at retrofitting interior lighting (above rear missing for momentum with panoramic sunroof) and looking at how you run cables is very useful. Thanks.
