Superb instructions!
Hey, thanks, this worked like a charm for me!
can this camera be powered using a portable power station like the jackery?
This is the most hidden fusebox I have ever not seen!
Very clear, really helped me out, thanks
Many thanks. This guide was perfect. I had tried another guide here on YT that used a hardwire kit w/ all the goodies and my minicam2 just didn't like the inconsistent power (I could see the light on the minicam2 pulsing and then it would power off/reboot at random). I followed this exactly and it worked like a charm! Light on the minicam2 doesn't pulse, unit doesn't drop power, etc.
Thank you so much!!! Bravo!!
Wow thank you so much for a very detail instruction
I love your narration! I felt a sense of tranquility doing my hardwire lol
Thank you very much. Couldn't have managed without this video.
I have connected to fuse 49 and is constantly on. Hmmm
How can I open the cover of the fuse box?
The cover looked stuck to the bottom even though I opened 4~5 pieces of clip lock outside of the cover.
Wrong cable routing along A pillar – cable will interfere with the side airbag.
Nice and clean.
Appreciated the quality of the video and even though I don't have the same car I found the instructions very informative!
You did amazing! Very clear instructions
This instruction is THE most detailed I've seen so far. Appreciate it!
