hi
from the UK.
i have a 4th gen rx450h f-sport with premier pack.

im going to be fitting a dashcam system next week and need some help from you guys.
i have read the illuminated door sill/dashcam threads but need a bit more info.

so I'm fitting a blackvue dr750 two camera system, with the optional park mode feature, so for this model I need a power source from the fuse board inside that is live ALL THE TIME, I know I can get the ignition switch power from piggy backing onto the P/OUTLET No.1 (10amp) fuse.

i thought about the interior clock source would be good as on all the time but I can't descipher the fuse board cover.
and there are no extra details in the car manual to help me any further, pages 654-655 it just shows you the locations only.

anyone got a full detail of what's what would be greatly appreciated.
hope your all managing OK with all the Snow over there, keep safe.

Just get yourself a automotive circuit tester, and if you are using power magic pro then you need to get two add a fuse. One for a permanent power and other for ACC.

 

Thanks for reply
but the location of the inside fuse board is in a pain in the *** location, my back can't take using meter leads and probably shorting a fuse out trying to find the correct location, hence I'll wait for a more easy solution :-)

 

When I installed mine for the constant power I used the hazard light fuse and for the ignition power, I believe that I used the rear windshield wiper (Wiper RR) fuse (Your fuse locations are different than the American fuse locations and I don't have a picture of the fuse diagram), for ignition power you can also use the Power Outlet No.1 fuse since the owlets shut off when the ignition is turned off. The reason I used these two locations is if the the tapped circuit fuse would blow, you will lose a circuit that’s not going to affect the basic operation of the vehicle until you get home to replace the blown fuse. These are the fuse taps that I used. The reason I use these style fuse taps is because for the circuit that you are tapping into you, can still use the original fuse for that specific circuit (ex. Wiper RR is a 15 amp fuse). If I recall correctly, the fuse location on the tap closer to the fuse panel is for the circuit you are tapping into.

 

Hi all,

I stumble upon this thread when Googling. I'm also looking at hardwiring by Blackvue DR750S using PMP on my RX450h.
I've tapped into power outlet fuse for ignition and hazard for constant power. However, whenever I turn off the car, the PMP will last a few moment then turns off.
When I turn the car engine on again. The PMP and dashcam will power up like normal.
I suspect this maybe because the battery is too low ie. two bars?

Any ideas?
Thanks.

 

Hi Danzeit,
thats how I've wired mine up, with the parking mode working all through the night with no problems what so ever, so I'm thinking low battery also.or your cut of voltage settings are to high, mine is 12 volts
just installing a MI-FI in the car this weekend also.
cheers

 

Thanks Milkshaker.

I think mine is set at 12.5V. Will change it to 12V. I've just done the install today. Will need to observe if the hybrid battery levels are related to the PMP being cut off.
Will keep you posted. Thanks.

 

 

Milkshaker, thanks for posting your installation. I'm hoping to install a DR900s-2CH 4K, when available, and your post is most helpful.

 

Hi Milkshaker,

Thanks for the pics.
Unfortunately, my parking mode still isn't working even my hybrid battery is near full. Its short lived after a few seconds of turning the engine off.
Not sure if it's an issue with the fuse tap as there's power feeding to it even though it last for a few seconds?

Can I ask what ampere fuse when tapped on your hazard?
Also, I'm using the mini wire tap rather than the low-profile fuse. I don't believe this is the issue as its working when engine is on.

Thanks.

 

Do you have switch ON on power magic pro? When "I" is push down it's on.

 

Yeap. It's switched to ON. Is there another fuse I can tap to?

 

That's the case, sound like ACC is on right fuse but permanent power might be on the ACC also. I can't remember which one I used for permanent power, but I used circuit tester.
And also, I'm sure you did right, but did you double checked setting?
