blackvue fitting

so i am going to buy a blackvue dashcam. the version with the front and separate rear camera.

i would like to get this hardwired, is £134 for the blackvue fitting a rip off?

I hardwired mine in not much more than an hour and I am no expert.

£134 seem so a bit steep.

Yes.... you can easily do it yourself in less than an hour....
Just slip the rear camera wire around the edge of the headlining.... really really easy to do....

To wire in I recommend the power pro saver device and also use the add a fuse for ease of connecting...search on here and easy to find instructions! Very Happy

Two of these...https://www.amazon.co.uk/Micro-Trader-Universal-Circuit-Holder/dp/B015Z3S7HO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1487457373&sr=8-1&keywords=add+a+fuse+mini

And one of these.....

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Power-BlackVue-Ve...gic+pro...


Basically you use the add a fuse connectors to create an easy power source for your camera....of course you can always just use the plug in cigarette lighter plug but most people will hard wire the system in so you don't have wires running across the dash area....

The power magic pro is used to adjust the length of time you want to run the camera for...it protects the battery from running flat!

still stuck.

i have tried loads of fuses. i cannot find one that is permanently live.

0/10 for manliness.

cameras work properly when plugged into cigarette lighter. earth is behind one of the torx screws.
